Early the next morning, Huilin woke up and quietly went to the kitchen to help Tong-Yoon. But Tong-Yoon gently insisted that Huilin do no housework. "You should go take some rest, "she said, smiling. "When breakfast is ready, I will call you."

Huilin smiled back and retreated to her room. She decided to start cleaning Do-Yoon's room. As she straightened the bookshelf, she saw a thin book tucked carefully under the others. She pulled it out and realized it was a sketchbook.

She opened it. The pages were filled with Do-Yoon's drawings, some depicting his loneliness and emotions, others showing the chaotic "noise" of the world. But deep inside the book, she found one sketch that made her heart stop. It was the face of a girl- so beautiful and graceful.

Huilin was mesmerized, but then she saw it: a single tear tracing the curve of the girl's cheek.

She felt herself in that sketched girl. The tear seemed to speak of her own buried love and heart that felt like it had no beats left. A tear came from Huilin's eye and dropped onto the page. When she saw the charcoal shades melting together under her moisture, she felt her own heart melting for Do-Yoon.

But suddenly, Huilin realized the danger of her feelings. She quickly cleaned the spot on the book and put it back in its place.She realized that having such deep feelings for Do-Yoon might not be good for her. Love is not made for me, she thought, suddenly upset.

Just then, Tong-Yoon came in. "Breakfast is ready!" she said cheerfully.

"Let's eat together, and afterward, we will start our sign language class."

My all dear readers and flowers, 🌸

Huilin's heart is starting to melt for Do-Yoon, but she is so afraid of her own emotions. "Love is not made for me"—hearing her think that breaks my heart! Do you think she will be able to hide her true feelings as they start their sign language lessons together?

Seeing the charcoal shades melt under her tear was one of my favorite details to write for this episode. Please share your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to drop a like if you loved this update! Stay blessed! ✨
