Episode 1:First Meet

The café smelled of freshly baked bread and roasted coffee beans. It was a quiet afternoon, with only a handful of customers seated by the windows. Mia sat alone at a corner table, flipping through the pages of her sketchbook to look his drawings. She often came here after work to relax, sip her latte, and draw the little things she observed around her"people laughing", children holding balloons, couples sharing secrets.

Today, however, her focus was interrupted when the door opened and a young man walked in, carrying a stack of papers that looked like they were ready to collapse. He struggled to balance them while trying to open the door with his elbow.

Mia couldn’t help but chuckle softly at his clumsy attempt.

The man noticed and gave an awkward smile. “I think the papers hate me,” he muttered under his breath, finally managing to push the door open. A gust of wind, as if on cue, blew inside"sending a few of his papers flying across the café floor".

“Oh no!” he exclaimed, crouching down quickly.

Without thinking, Mia stood up to help. She knelt on the floor, picking up the papers before they could scatter further.

“Here,” she said, handing him a few sheets. “Before they run away completely.”

He looked up, and for a moment, their eyes met. His were warm, with a kind sparkle that seemed to soften his embarrassed expression.

“Thank you,” he said, slightly out of breath. “You saved me from turning this place into a snowstorm of documents.”

Mia laughed, a light sound that surprised even her. “Maybe next time you should use a folder.”

He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. “You’re right. Lesson learned.”

When they finally stood, he balanced the stack again and gave her a grateful smile. “I’m Ethan, by the way.”

“Mia,” she replied simply, tucking her sketchbook under her arm.

“Well, Mia,” Ethan said, “if I could, I’d buy you coffee as a thank you, but my hands are currently prisoners.” He tilted his head toward the stack of papers.

Mia grinned. “I’ll take a rain check.”

As she sat back down, she found herself doodling something new in her sketchbook: a boy chasing after flying papers, and a girl handing them back. For some reason, she couldn’t stop smiling.

"Mia sketch, “a boy chasing after flying papers, and a girl handing them back" she was excited, had the expression "inlove"

For some reason, she couldn’t stop smiling.
