I paused in my steps, feeling a tap on my shoulder. I turned over and was met by the enviously comforting face of Hasegawa Mio.
"Oh, Hasegawa…"
Though something seemed lacking in her face.
"What's up?"
"Nothing much," I replied. "just realized that midterms are fast approaching and I need to study."
"Hmm."
She hummed in agreement.
"Well then, I'll be entering the library," I informed her before opening the door and stepping inside.
As I entered the library, a voice called out to me, pausing my steps once more.
"Hey Kanako, I thought you weren't a fan of studying?" Hasegawa asked, tilting her head.
I turned to face her, "I've got to pass this midterm, even if I don't want to."
"I see, would you mind if I join you?"
