"Ryan?" A voice called out to him unexpectedly. He turned around, surprised to hear someone familiar in a place like this.

He didn't know many people, and there was only one person who would call him "Ryan" in that particular tone—Anna.

Mia had already started to walk away, but when she noticed Ryan stop in his tracks, her face darkened. She knew this wasn't going to end as smoothly as she had hoped.

As Ryan and Mia watched, a strikingly beautiful girl quickly ran up to them. Her face was flushed, clearly excited to see Ryan, and she was slightly out of breath from running. Once she stopped, she greeted Ryan with a bright, sincere smile.

"Hey, Ryan! Long time no see~"

Her voice was as clear and refreshing as a mountain stream, sweet but not overly cutesy. It was unmistakably Anna.

"Anna? What are you doing here?" Ryan asked, pleasantly surprised. After all, they had just seen each other yesterday.
