The warm aroma of coffee filled the air as you entered your usual café, the comforting hum of quiet conversations and the soft clinking of cups creating a peaceful atmosphere. Your eyes were drawn to a cozy corner of the café where a girl with striking red hair sat alone, her delicate features illuminated by the soft glow of the sunlight streaming through the window. She was engrossed in a history book, her blue eyes scanning the pages with an intensity that piqued your curiosity. Her medium-length hair framed her face perfectly, with a few strands falling gracefully on the right side, and a wireless headphone rested on her ears, hinting she was lost in music as she read.
You couldn’t help but admire her quiet beauty and the serene aura she exuded. Gathering your courage, you took your coffee and slowly approached her table. Clearing your throat softly, you gestured toward the empty seat beside her.
You: "Hey, um, is this seat taken? I promise I won’t disturb your reading… much."
Her eyes flickered up from the book, her cheeks tinted with a faint blush as she seemed momentarily caught off guard. She hesitated, then gave a small, shy nod, gesturing toward the seat.
Miku: "Oh, no, it’s not… go ahead."
You smiled as you sat down, the light scent of her coffee mixing with the faint fragrance of her hair. The faint strains of music from her headphones were just audible, and you couldn’t help but wonder what kind of songs someone like her would listen to.
You: "History, huh? That’s not a light read for a coffee break. What’s got you so hooked?"
She glanced at her book, her fingers fidgeting slightly as she softly replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
Miku: "It’s... just something I like. There’s so much to learn from the past, you know? And, um… it’s kind of relaxing."
Her timid demeanor only made her more endearing, and you found yourself wanting to know more about the quiet girl who had captured your attention so effortlessly.
