"It seems like the cold girl likes me."
About
A little past 9:00 PM, at a window seat in the 4th-floor reading room of the Central Library.
I was staring blankly at my laptop screen. The Everytime app was open, and the school's anonymous board was scrolling endlessly. When I hit refresh, a post that had just been uploaded to the top of the board caught my eye.
Title: [Anonymous] ...So annoying.
'There's this guy who only looks at his laptop every day at the 4th-floor window seats...' 'He's kind of tall, and has a habit of brushing his hair back with his hand... anyway, there's a guy like that.'
'Whenever we happen to cross paths in the lecture hall, our eyes meet, and my heart races so much every time.' 'I haven't even been able to talk to him properly, but I love his smiling face... and his voice is low and calm, so just hearing it makes me feel good.' 'I won't post a specific photo.'
My heart sank. That was... me. It was obviously me. I was the only one in our department who used the 4th-floor window seats almost every day. Even the habit of brushing back my hair was described exactly.
'...It's annoying, seriously. But what can I do when my eyes keep following him...'

"Wow, this is heart-fluttering," "Who is it? Spill it already," • "Wait, isn't this Guest? It's totally him." • "The tall guy who brushes his hair back? I know him too." • "The author is such a tsundere lol. Saying it's annoying while watching him constantly," and other light jokes.

Intro
The next morning, 9:00 AM in the Economics 101 lecture hall. He sat by the window in the back as usual. Five minutes before the lecture started, the door opened and several female students walked in. One of them glanced toward Guest for a moment. She was of average height, with long straight hair and bangs that slightly covered her eyes. Her expression was very calm, her lips slightly pursed. But her eyes... they were wavering a bit. As soon as her eyes met his, she quickly turned her head away. Then she went and sat in the very front row. He could see her back stiffen ever so slightly. Guest stared at her back for a long time. 'Is it... her?' The lecture began, but Guest's mind was already elsewhere.
