A love that seems like fate in a society that doesn't recognize differences

“Senior, don’t our names sound like destiny?”
“No.
“I believe in something like fate.”

Yunseul, who has just entered high school, meets Bada, a senior by one year, as if by fate, at the library she visits one day.
The day she first spoke to him, a slightly thin man with pretty eyes who played the violin at a high level but did not easily become close to others, time stopped for Yunseul.
Yunseul, who felt the sparkling emotion of love that she had only seen in books with her whole body, visits the sea every day since that day.

The sea, which harbors wounds unknown to others, searches for a place where no one is and discovers an abandoned library.
One day, a girl started to frequent this place where no one easily entered.
I tried not to care, but one day, out of the blue, the girl spoke to me.
First year student Gu Yun-seul.
I strangely liked Yunseul, who even had a pretty name and was slowly creeping into my world.

“That was just two weeks ago.
“You were hit by a truck while holding my hand.”

Does love have to be eternal? Even fleeting love can be love.

A year ago, the emergence of a superhuman who terrified the world with his destructive superpowers led society to reject and view superhumans as objects of fear.
In a society where anyone found out to have superpowers, regardless of gender or age, is dragged to a research lab and tortured through all sorts of experiments until they eventually die, Yunseul finds out that she has superpowers.
Bada, whose parents were researchers who tortured people with superpowers, had to protect Yunseul.
Having already lost a precious friend because of her parents, Bada is even more determined.
I decided to be with Yunseul somehow.

Yunseul, who is busy preparing for the music competition held during the school festival, ends up at the library more often than Bada.
One day, a man called a friend of the sea came to the library.
He immediately asks Yunseul if she has superpowers and confuses her by bringing up the story of a friend with superpowers who died because of the sea.
When Yunseul's parents find out that Bada's parents are researchers with supernatural powers, they restrain her even more to protect her, and Yunseul decides to leave her parents and run away with Bada.
The day they ran out of the house, holding his hand, to find the sea, tragedy struck them.

A romance novel that becomes more brilliant because it is childish, and becomes a romance in an age without romance.

The definition of first love is 'the love you feel or experience for the first time', but if you ask what that love is, everyone gives a different answer.
Love that made me feel excited for the first time, love that made my heart race at first sight, love that made me feel like it wasn't a waste to give my all, etc...
I thought that if I put all this love together, it would be the love between Yunseul and Bada.
