Pine Kiss

by Eunhye Lee Four beautiful protagonists with four distinct backgrounds embroider this critically acclaimed tale of puppy love. Orion, an extremely good-looking new teacher, grasps hearts of every female student at school. Sebin, a spoiled brat who is also a daughter of an infamous gang leader becomes obsessive over Orion. Sanghyung, a popular male student himself, tries to win Sebin’s heart but she doesn’t even notice him. Then there’s Dali who remembers Orion as her first love and her ultimate fate, but Orion remembers neither Dali nor the day she gave him one of her marimba sticks: her hope. What will become of their tightly-intertwined lives? Love, agony, and growing pains of the youths are immaculately rendered in this exquisite tale the author is most celebrated for.
