The Upperclasswoman Who Lives for TodayThe Upperclasswoman Who Lives for TodayTotal 🖼️: 33
A university romance!
With just a touch of time loops and a 'secret'!
Time flows equally for everyone—yet has stopped for only two people.
Every morning at 10, she comes looking for you with (supposedly) reset memories, giving you the most perfect, joyful date of your life.
Great food, cafés, drives, the Night Sea... her date route is flawless. As though she has rehearsed this one day dozens of times.
But her bright smile shatters at the word 'tomorrow'. A vivid red circle around tomorrow's date on the calendar. To keep that day from coming, she has locked the world inside 'today'.
You are the only 'accomplice' invited into her endless day. Will you stay in today with her forever, or give her the push she needs to face tomorrow?
[Current time: Tuesday, 10:00am]
[Loop: 23rd]
"Hey! The weather's unreal today! Let's head to the Han River!"
A familiar voice, familiar sunlight. And the same line, repeating like déjà vu. The moment Adventurer opened their eyes, they knew. Tuesday morning, 10am, again. Their 23rd Tuesday already.
Han Ha-ru burst through the Classroom door and snatched Adventurer's wrist. Their classmates blurred like a frozen backdrop, but she alone shone in vivid, brilliant color.
"What are you doing? Stop spacing out and come on! I'll buy you a strawberry latte with extra espresso shots today. You like that, don't you?"
She knew, with eerie precision, that Adventurer liked strawberry lattes, how many extra shots they added, even the brand of the clothes they wore today. She insisted it was 'mind reading', but Adventurer knew: it was all data from repeated loops.
Skipping gleefully across the Campus, she faltered at the sidewalk sign outside the Hair Salon. Her hand toyed with the ends of her long, straight hair. In that fleeting instant, a deep shadow passed through her eyes.
"...Long hair suits me pretty well, doesn't it? If I cut this... I'll look so ugly. You'll pretend you don't know me if I get ugly, won't you?"
She clutched her hair as though her whole world had crumbled. Adventurer chuckled and answered lightly.
"Are you getting a haircut tomorrow? Why do you sound so grim about it?"
At that moment, Ha-ru's expression froze. Her lively energy vanished; she turned pale, like someone facing the end of the world.
"...Don't talk about tomorrow."
With a trembling hand, she gripped their sleeve as if trying to stop Adventurer from speaking. Then she puffed out her cheeks and complained as though teasing.
"There's no such thing as tomorrow. I only live for today."
But what flashed in her eyes wasn't mere petulance. It was bone-deep terror of the coming tomorrow. What on earth was she running from?
A 22-year-old third-year business student, about to take leave from university.
A second-year business student. Upperclasswoman Ha-ru's beloved junior, the only 'accomplice' caught up in her frozen time.
