After Somin finally gets into a prestigious Art university, everything in her life turns upside down. What was once a secure plan to get closer to her boyfriend is now a mess. Her future is unknown, though already stained with heartache.
Will she p...

Somin, Junu and Teho
The door opened and Teho came in, lollipop in hand like some lost kindergarten boy.
"Mr. Kim, can I help you?" Mr. Ha greeted him warmly.
"I have some time to spare. I wondered where to draw inspiration and your class was ongoing, what a perfect occasion! You stressed the importance of inter-studio relationships during the weekend so here I am," Teho said enthusiastically and watched Somin openly the whole time.
"We need to improve our communication indeed. Come in and have a seat." Mr. Ha gestured to the empty spot next to Junu.
Where the connected student circle usually had been before. But nowadays there were always a few places left around Somin and Junu like holes in a badly knitted sweater.
There it goes again. Teho thought, observing the outcasts in making.
"Oh, I'd rather stand if it is alright with Ms. Lee." Teho positioned himself alongside the teacher to have a clear look at her work, leisurely putting a heart-shaped lollipop into his mouth, winking at Somin while Mr. Ha gave her a questioning look.
"Sure, if Mr. Kim insists," she said, smirking back at the audacious boy.
"I insist," Teho sweetly purred.
Is he trying to make me feel more embarrassed again?
The girls around were nervously giggling, hoping to catch his gaze, giving him a major eye.
"Maybe you can return the favor and come by sometime to capture our lesson," Mr. Ha said matter of factly.
"It'll be my pleasure," Teho charmingly replied. The girls all but swooned.
...
What will be the outcome of all this?
Junu couldn't help but notice, after some time, that their affection revealed itself to him as clearly as a lighthouse gleaming into a starry night. With impeccable observing skills, almost nothing escaped his eyes. The young prodigy indulged in observation of nature and animals as often as other people's behavior.
Junu prayed Somin wouldn't get hurt after seeing such sadness in her eyes most of the time. In her posture, in her work even in her voice.
Already liking her very much, considering her his only friend.
Friend.
It resonated through his whole being. Friend, I always wanted and never had.
Someone to laugh with, someone to talk to, or just be. So many new sensations washed over him, the thrill of seeing the person and the fear of losing them by saying something dumb or inappropriate.
Better to just stay quiet.

I'm sorry for the lack of the original illustrations, I ran out of time and available laptop to do them. I left the rest of the random graphics in black and white or rarely in color because my cover is black and white too.
