My Ears Lied

[A Homecoming That Still Feels Like You, also known as Ears Told a Lie, is a companion novel to The Lingering Warmth at the Waist]

[Rebellious, secretly passionate, devoted male lead × cool, gentle, tsundere female lead] [School life + urban romance] On her first day of school, flustered because she was late, she accidentally nearly sat on him while he was asleep in a chair.

His “Hey, classmate,” and his handsome, amused expression left her staring. Then he said, “You didn’t pick the wrong seat on purpose just because you thought I was good-looking, did you?” Her fantasies came crashing down.

Though she thought he was conceited, she still answered honestly, “You are good-looking.”

He was by her side throughout their youth, but only for two years.

Then, in the sweltering summer of the year they had promised to meet, he left without a word and disappeared from her world.

She spoke of him again at her graduation ceremony, four years later.

“I imagined countless endings for us. Maybe we’d fall out of love, maybe one of us would change. But I never imagined he would disappear from my world this way.”

Who could have guessed that the conceited boy she once knew would become the light of youth she kept in her heart?

And in an unremarkable corner, a pair of eyes had witnessed every moment of her youth, never once absent.
