Episode 7: Your Face… What’s Wrong [Youth Arc] Sketches of the Shoreline ~A Youth Story Created with AI~

One day, I walked into the classroom and was shocked. Navio looked terrible.

“What’s wrong!? Navio!”
“…Maybe a hangover.”
“You’re still a high school student!”

Seori grabbed Navio’s arm in a panic and took him straight to the beach.
The breeze from the ocean felt good.
The sound of the waves gently rolled in and out.

There was no life in Navio’s eyes.

Seori gently took his hand.
“Come on, calm down. I’ll help you remember your color. Hey… tell me, what’s your favorite color?”

Whether he was listening or not, his reaction was faint, but a faint red light flickered in Navio’s eyes.
It was the same color as Seori’s hair.

“If you mean my favorite ‘drink,’ it’s beer.”
“Oh, come on!”

When Seori laughed in exasperation, some energy finally returned to Navio’s face.
The two of them started walking along the shore side by side.
Bathed in the bright sunlight, Navio slowly regained his color.

“What do you think of that scene?” Seori asked, opening her sketchbook.
In it were the two of them, rendered in soft colors like a picture book.

“…It looks like a picture book.”
“Should we submit this to the school festival?”
“Don’t!”

Navio raised his voice in surprise, his ears turning red.
