Getting Tangled Up with a Brooding College Girl (GL)

[College Student & Convenience Store Clerk]

[Gloomy Puppy & Teasing Older Sister]

Short, sweet 1v1 romance

On her way home from work, Qiao Wenyang saves a girl who is trying to take her own life. After that, strange things start happening.

A pink letter appears in her apartment mailbox every day; bouquets of violets are delivered to the convenience store daily; she often feels like someone is following her; and her phone fills up with messages from strangers.

[Older sister, you look so pretty today]

[Instant noodles for dinner? They're convenient, but bad for you. Good thing I'm great at cooking]

[I'm so happy today. I found your earring~ It's a little cartoon cat]

Qiao Wenyang touches her bare earlobe.

Qiao Wenyang: [Who are you?]

Stranger: [I'll come see you.]

Qiao Wenyang's perspective:

Qiao Wenyang has a secret crush.

That person gets excellent grades, is gorgeous, and is a favorite of the teachers. She always wears headphones and listens to music, with a clear message on her face: Stay away.

Their interactions last only the thirty seconds it takes to scan and pay.

Qiao Wenyang quietly memorizes all her hobbies. The private album on her phone is full of photos of her from every angle.

Until one day, Qiao Wenyang follows her out of school again and sees her climbing over a pedestrian bridge in the distance.

Qiao Wenyang rushes over and hugs her.

Jiang Yu's perspective:

Jiang Yu has a secret crush.

That person works at the Early Spring convenience store and always greets every customer with a bright smile.

Jiang Yu worries that she'll scare her if she acts too obvious, so every time she puts on headphones and pretends to listen to music.

Jiang Yu finds her social media account and discovers that she follows many musicians and sometimes posts songs she's written herself. She's somewhat famous online.

Later, Jiang Yu gradually realizes that she's following her, too.

Her gaze is far too obvious. Once, she even forgot to turn off the camera shutter sound, and the way she hurriedly lowered her head to turn down the volume was just too cute.

But why does she keep her distance and still not confess?

Jiang Yu pretends to climb over the bridge to lure her out. As expected, she hugs her.

Jiang Yu has thought that if she doesn't rush over, it wouldn't matter if she died.

At least in her final moment, the only person in her eyes would be her.

"Older sister, that's enough for me."

Years later, Qiao Wenyang finally tells her the truth.

"Jiang Yu, I actually knew from the start that you were the one messaging me. I'd had a crush on you for a long time back then."

"Qiao Wenyang, have you ever considered that I've been in love with you even longer than you've been in love with me?"

P.S. Mutual pining, 1v1.

Qiao Wenyang knew all along who was following her. She was just pretending not to know, teasing her on purpose.

Jiang Yu knew all along that her older sister was teasing her. She was just happy to be teased.
