episode 2

The next morning, I reached college earlier than usual. Even though I tried to focus on my classes, my mind kept replaying yesterday's incident.

Who was the boy who saved me?

I sighed and walked into the classroom.

"Good morning!" Rita greeted me with a bright smile.

"Good morning," I replied with a small smile.

Soon, our professor entered the classroom.

"Good morning, everyone. Today we'll begin with introductions."

One by one, every student stood up and introduced themselves.

When it was my turn, I slowly stood up. My heart was beating fast.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Min Hui. I recently moved to this city. Nice to meet you all."

After saying that, I quickly sat down.

The class continued as usual, but I couldn't focus on the lecture. My thoughts kept wandering back to the mysterious boy who had saved me yesterday.

After the lecture ended, Rita excitedly held my hand.

"Come on, Min Hui! Let's go to the canteen."

I nodded and followed her.

As we walked through the corridor, I noticed a crowd of students gathered around someone. Everyone seemed to admire him. Some students waved at him while others greeted him with respect.

Curious, I looked in that direction.

Then...

I heard a familiar voice.

My heart skipped a beat.

It was the same voice that had saved me yesterday.

Before I could see him clearly, Rita smiled and whispered,

"Do you know him?"

I slowly shook my head.

She looked at me with surprise.

"His name is Gwan Shik. He's one of the most popular students in Thomson Edison College. Almost everyone knows him."

Gwan Shik...

I quietly repeated his name in my mind.

At that moment, he turned around.

For the first time...

I saw his face clearly.

Our eyes met for just a few seconds.

Time seemed to stop.

Without saying a single word, he looked away and continued walking with his friends.

I stood there, unable to move.

Rita gently tapped my shoulder.

"Min Hui? Are you okay?"

I blinked and forced a smile.

"Y-Yeah... I'm fine."

But deep inside, I knew I wasn't.

For some strange reason...

I couldn't stop thinking about Gwan Shik.

And I had a feeling...

This unexpected meeting was only the beginning of our story. As Rita and I entered the cafeteria, the place was filled with laughter and conversations. Students were sitting in groups, enjoying their lunch and talking about classes.

Rita kept telling me funny stories about the college, trying to make me feel comfortable.

I smiled and listened to her, but my eyes kept wandering around the room.

Somehow, I was hoping to see Gwan Shik again.

After a few minutes, I noticed him sitting near the window with his friends. He looked calm and confident as everyone around him laughed at something he had said.

For a moment, he raised his head.

Our eyes met once again.

This time, neither of us looked away immediately.

A strange silence filled my heart.

I didn't know why...

But meeting Gwan Shik twice in just two days didn't feel like a coincidence anymore.

It felt as if fate was quietly bringing us closer, one unexpected moment at a time.❤........
