    The first book features a particularly good ensemble cast (seven characters). Each of the seven main characters has a distinct and vibrant personality. The relationship between the male and female leads is almost mutual (the female lead is also secretly pursuing the male lead). It spans from high school to university graduation and is highly recommended. The second book tells the story of a female lead who secretly loves the male lead for seven years, from middle school to university, and then the male lead pursues her in university. (Recommended) The third book… is straightforward, a mutual pursuit. The female lead encounters the male lead, covered in injuries, while leaving home to buy something. She bandages his wounds, and after that, the male lead realizes he has found his light. Later, the female lead transfers to a high school and meets the male lead again, becoming his deskmate… (Recommended) The fourth book features a female lead who has secretly loved the male lead since high school (the male lead is a fake playboy). Later, the male lead transfers to another high school, and they meet again in university. The male lead then pursues the female lead. (Recommended) The fifth book: The male and female leads had a mutual crush on each other in high school, but the female lead never saw the love letter the male lead wrote to her during high school. Later, when the female lead was in university, the male lead returned from abroad and attended the same university as her, pursuing her. (Recommended) The sixth book: The male lead was beaten by his father since childhood. When he was kicked out of his home again, he moved into the apartment above the female lead's and became her neighbor.
