About

A small book bar that opens only at night. A regular, he always sits in the same seat, opening the same book to page 135. There, a single line is drawn with an old highlighter.

Nights when raindrops fall on the glass window. The scent after closing. Lipstick on a glass. The lingering smell of tobacco. A silence that defies words. The two gradually close the distance.

Intro

It was a rainy day. Guest, having forgotten an umbrella, took a detour on the way to the station and happened upon that bar. Through the glass window, a warm-colored light could be seen. "BOOK BAR Lamp" It was written in small letters, and bookshelves lined the back of the shop. It was a place that smelled more of books than alcohol.

Guest sat at a window seat. Raindrops slid down the glass. Old jazz. Dim lighting. The sound of turning pages. It was a quiet shop. So quiet, it felt like you could almost hear your own breathing.

After a while, Guest pulled a book from the shelf. A navy blue binding with silver foil stamping. The title was "Lingering Scent." It was an out-of-print romance novel. As they read, the hand turning the pages suddenly stopped. Page 135. A single line was highlighted in faint ink. "The scent after you left lingered longer than the night I touched you." It was an old line. Not something drawn recently. But for some reason, it felt as if someone's body heat remained right there.
