Academic Struggles - Part 2 [Kanako Hanae]

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?"
