Chapter 16: Lessons from Soap Operas
Author: Mitsui no Miko
He got to the library, and said "hi" to the librarian. He doesn't go there often, so the librarian was somewhat surprised to see him.
"Hey Sendoh-kun, what brings you here?"
"Doing a little research, sensei!"
He headed to the Psychology section of the library. "Letter J, K, L… Aha!"
Then he felt a finger tap him from behind.
"Sendoh-san! What a surprise!"
He turned around in surprise.
"Hikoichi! What are you doing here? It's late!"
"I know, but I have to check some data. What brings you here?"
Sendoh turned beet red. "I'm looking for love, Hikoichi."
Hikoichi laughed aloud at this. "Sendoh-san, the library is no place to look for love!"
"Huh?"
"You find it watching soap operas and movies!"
Sendoh blinked.
"You want some notes?"
"You actually take down notes on movies and soaps?"
"Yeah! Why not?" Then he began to read some quotations from certain soap operas.
"Ahem, here goes. You know you're in love when you're contented just to watch him sleep. When you yourself can't sleep thinking about him. And when you finally do, your dreams are filled with images of him!" He shut his notes emphatically. "How's that?" he asked.
Sendoh chuckled. "Thanks, Hikoichi! You've been a big help! Well, that settles my research! Gotta go!"
"Huh? Okay, sayonara, Sendoh-san!"
He started his car and headed home. Then, thinking that he wouldn't be able to sleep, he turned around and headed somewhere else.
