The Morse Code That Led to a Fateful Valentine 💌✨
Chapter 1: A Message Between the Pages
A quiet afternoon in the library.
Yoko gently pulled out an old book and began flipping through its pages.
Just then, a small piece of paper fluttered out from between the pages.
The edges of the paper were slightly yellowed, as if it had been hidden there for a long time.
Curious, she picked it up and saw unfamiliar symbols scrawled across it.
".... . .-.. .-.. --- / - .... . .-. . / -... . .- ..- - .. ..-. ..- .-.. / --. .. .-. .-.. / .- - / - .... . / -... --- --- -.- ... - --- .-. . .-.-.-"
"…Morse code?"
She murmured, her heartbeat quickening.
Who left this? When? And why?
It felt as though someone had left her a secret message.
Yoko pulled out her smartphone and carefully began deciphering it.
Letter by letter, the meaning emerged.
And when she reached the final word, she gasped.
"…This is pointing to a location?"
It was a clue leading her somewhere.
Chapter 2: The Boy by the Window
The library had its regular visitors, familiar faces who came day after day.
Among them, Yoko always found herself drawn to one person—a boy named Shinwoo, who always sat by the window, quietly reading.
He would open a book, jot something down in a notebook occasionally, and lose himself in thought.
Never speaking to anyone, always lost in his own world.
Yoko had noticed him for a while now.
What was he thinking?
And… could this code be something he left behind?
That possibility made her heart race.
Even if it wasn’t his, she had to know.
She had to follow the clue.
Chapter 3: The Door to the Old Bookstore
The Morse code had led her to a small bookstore hidden at the end of a narrow alley.
"I never noticed this place before…"
It was a quiet, unassuming shop, one that seemed to blend into the background of the city.
Hesitantly, she pushed the old wooden door open.
A small bell jingled softly.
"Welcome."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yoko froze.
Behind the counter stood—Shinwoo.
He didn’t look surprised.
Instead, he smiled gently, as if he had been expecting her.
"You finally came."
"…Was it you who wrote the code?"
She asked, still bewildered.
Shinwoo shook his head.
"It wasn’t me. But I knew you’d come."
Chapter 4: A Connection Through Time
Shinwoo reached for a book on the shelf and carefully pulled it out.
"This book has been here for a long time. And inside… was that Morse code."
Yoko took the book from his hands.
Its cover was worn, filled with the passage of time.
"What does that mean…?"
Shinwoo’s gaze softened as he spoke.
"Years ago, I also found that code. And when I followed it, I met a girl."
Yoko instinctively tightened her grip on the book.
"And… where is she now?"
Shinwoo’s expression became tinged with sadness.
"She’s gone now. But before she left, she said this—
'When someone else deciphers this code, a new story will begin.'"
It was as if she had been meant to come here.
This wasn’t a coincidence.
It felt like something—someone—had led her here for this very moment.
Chapter 5: The Beginning of a New Valentine’s Story
"…So, what happens next?"
Yoko asked softly, looking at Shinwoo.
He smiled gently and closed the book.
"Now, it’s our turn to write the next chapter."
Epilogue
That night, Yoko didn’t return to the library.
She sat beside Shinwoo in a quiet corner of the bookstore, speaking in hushed voices.
About the Morse code, about books, and about feelings left unspoken.
She carefully took out the small slip of paper and placed it back where it had been.
But this time—
She added a new message.
Someday, someone else would find it, decode it, and be led here just like she was.
And when that day came, a new story would begin.
But for now—
This moment belonged only to them.
