Na-ra somehow managed to finish her schoolwork, her mind already drifting back to the mysterious book that lay on her bed. As soon as she was done, she rushed to her room, eager to find some peace within its pages. She picked up *Mystery of the Midnight Muse*, her heart racing with anticipation.
She opened the book to where she had left off, her eyes eagerly scanning the words. The story continued to unfold, revealing more about Kim Taehyung. She read about his bravery, his resilience in the face of insurmountable odds, and his unwavering determination.
*He’s incredible,* Na-ra thought, her admiration for Taehyung growing with every page. He faced challenges that would break most people, yet he stood strong, a pillar of courage and hope.
As she read, she felt a connection to him, a sense of understanding that went beyond the words on the page. *He’s so different from me,* she mused, *but at the same time, he’s everything I wish I could be.*
Taehyung’s world was harsh and unforgiving, much like her own, but he never wavered. He fought for what he believed in, no matter the cost. His bravery inspired her, giving her a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, she could find the strength within herself to face her own demons.
Na-ra lost track of time as she delved deeper into the story, her own troubles momentarily forgotten. In Taehyung, she found a hero, someone to look up to, someone who made her believe that strength and bravery were possible, even for someone like her.
*If only I could be like him,* she thought, a mixture of longing and admiration filling her heart. *If only I could find the courage to be strong.*
The words on the page blurred as Na-ra imagined herself beside Taehyung, facing the challenges of his world together. It was a comforting thought, one that made her feel less alone.
With every chapter, Taehyung became more than just a character in a book. He became a symbol of hope, a beacon of light in the darkness of her life. And for that, Na-ra was deeply grateful.
*I can’t keep living like this,* Na-ra decided, a newfound determination filling her. *I have to fix things, one step at a time. Even if it’s silly, even if it’s hard.*
She smiled to herself, feeling a bit silly but resolute. “Alright, Na-ra,” she whispered, “let’s start Operation Fix-It. Step one: survive school. Step two: survive home. Step three: find a way to be brave, just like Taehyung.”
Na-ra giggled at her own grandiose plan, feeling a little foolish but strangely hopeful. “Watch out, world. Na-ra’s coming through, and she’s got a fictional hero as her guide!”
Inside the book,
Taehyung felt a shift. Someone was reading, and it brought a flicker of warmth to his cold, lonely existence. He could sense Na-ra's admiration and connection growing with each page she turned.
