Prologue and Episode 1

My eyes burned as I squinted at the tablet, its bright light almost blinding in the darkness. I gripped the stylus in my sweaty fingers as I slowly lowered it onto the screen. Carefully, I made a few strokes, completing the last panel of my webtoon.

I sighed, finally satisfied by how the first chapter looked. I was quite proud of it, considering that I hadn't drawn in years and this was my first time making digital art.

I signed off the first chapter with a little author's note and saved it. I emailed it to my bestfriend, Ara, to proofread. She was the only one who knew that I was doing this.

Honestly, I didn't like the reason why I suddenly started drawing a webtoon. To me, it felt extremely childish and risky. But hey, now that I started, might as well finish it.

A vibration from my phone distracted me from my thoughts. I reached for it and unlocked it, only to see a message from Ara.

"*the webtoon is nice but the authors note is kinda lame ?? you should end it with something more impactful, something like

**love, anonymous***

**Episode 1**

*His dark hair was blown all over his face as a gust of wind went by. He ran his fingers through his hair, tousling it. The silver rings on his fingers glinted under the sun.

He leaned against the wall, engrossed in a conversation. His bag was slung loosely across one shoulder. His eyes crinkled, seeming like crescents, as he smiled widely. He spoke animatedly, hands gesturing widly. His glasses slipping off the bridge of his nose. He laughed as*-

"Ow!"

I ended up on the floor, falling, when the tree i was leaning against disappeared.

"I need to get to class, find someone else to lean on," Ara said as she rushed off towards the West wing.

Huh, I guess it wasn't a tree. I sighed, shaking my head and getting up. This crush, or whatever it was, was getting really bad. I don't think I even like the guy; I've never even talked to him. Yet, I always found my eyes straying in his direction.

Well, he is good looking...

Yeah but I have better things to do that stare at every hot guy in this damn college, like graduating!

Everyone needs a little eye candy once in a while. Also, with my grades I could graduate easily.

Must you always be right, conscience?

Yes. I'm a part of you; the only perceptive part, considering how oblivious you are.

I never thought the day would come when even my conscience would mock me, but oh well, we can't have everything.

I walked across the campus garden to get to the cafeteria. Finding an empty table, I put my stuff down and sat on the bench. I still had an hour before my next class, so I decided to draw a draft of the next chapter of my webtoon.

Although webtoons are digital art, I still preferred drawing and painting on paper and canvas. Digital drawing doesn't seem to give me the same sense of satisfaction as painting on a canvas did.

I took out a few pieces of paper and roughly sketched some panels. My whole webtoon was literally about my own dream relationship.

Like many others, I too, dreamed of going on cute dates with a cute guy and doing couple-y things. The only problem was that I didn't even have a boyfriend in the first place. The only thing I had was a huge, inexplicable crush on the dark haired boy.
