# Chapter 151: The River at Dawn
Eun-seo walked along the riverbank, piercing through the pre-dawn darkness. Her footsteps followed the clouds drifting above the water’s ripples, and her heart raced in rhythm with the river’s murmur. In the spring-warm air, she felt Min-jun’s voice calling to her again. His voice wrapped around her heart gently, and her chest quickened with each sound of the flowing water. She remembered the moment his hand had held hers, felt what his heart had felt, and understood what lay within it.
