4 The one I meet is a ??

I looked up as he held out the book and said, “Here you have it.” I took it from his hands and replied, “Thank you.” For a brief moment, I studied his face, a faint sense of familiarity stirring in my mind. I knew him… somehow. As I adjusted my glasses and walked past him, the thought lingered—I couldn’t remember his name, but I was certain he was just another side character in this world, someone insignificant in the larger story unfolding around me.

Ahead of me, I spotted the second male lead, Noah, standing close to Alice, the female lead, engaged in conversation. My steps slowed. Of course it would be them. Just my luck. As if sensing my presence, Alice suddenly looked up and waved at me with a hopeful expression. I immediately felt the urge to turn away and disappear. Why was she looking at me like that? Why did it feel like she wanted to pull me into whatever situation she was in? I wasn’t the protagonist. I wasn’t her friend. And I definitely didn’t want to become her shield. Without a second thought, I turned around, deciding to avoid her entirely.

My gaze landed on the same man from earlier. He was now standing quietly by the window, absorbed in a book, the soft light outlining his figure. I couldn’t see the title, but he looked completely uninterested in the chaos around him. Perfect. Using him as an excuse, I raised my hand and waved as if we were close acquaintances. He glanced at me, clearly confused, but I didn’t stop. I began walking toward him, closing the distance while subtly casting a side glance back at Alice and Noah, checking if they were still watching—or if they had finally lost interest and moved on.

He looked at me again, and this time I couldn’t look away. His eyes—green, bright, and somehow almost alive—caught the sunlight streaming through the window, making them shimmer like polished emeralds. The glow highlighted the depth in them, the quiet intensity that seemed to pull me in despite myself. I blinked, trying to focus, but the light dancing in his eyes made it impossible to think clearly. For a moment, everything else—the room, Alice, Noah—faded into the background. All I could see was him, and those impossibly beautiful green eyes that seemed to hold secrets I didn’t yet understand.

I said " Your eyes...(stops for a moment ) are beautiful like a green forest in sunlight. He started to look at his book again.after seeing his reaction I wanted to tease him more but Noah and Alice had left. So before excuse myself I said "What's your name" he said " Elijah".

You have a pretty good name. As I said .He looked at me again with his shiny green eyes. I smile at hm and excuse myself.
