The next day arrived unexpectedly, Seoyoo was found in the kitchen spreading the strawberry jam on her toast as a simple breakfast before she went to university. Instead of resting in bed all day, she plans to attend her classes because she feels like she has recovered a little from the fever. The girl got on the bus so she would get to university faster than walking.
She arrived a little early at university so as she walked through the hallway, she could feel a very quiet atmosphere making her feel comfortable instead of getting a glimpse of the students. Apparently, she was able to start her day in peace.
She went to her classes as usual, she even took a seat at the back and that was a wise choice as the students are not aware of her existence so she can concentrate well on the lecturer at the front. The bell rang in the background signaling it was lunchtime but Seoyoo was not eager to step into the cafe.
She made sure that all the students had left the class because she wants to avoid meeting with the other students who will insult her every now and then. To her relief that the hallway is completely empty without any students, this makes Seoyoo feel grateful before she decided to head towards the library.
As usual, the girl would sit on a bench located outside the library while eating the food she had brought from home. Since her fever had not yet subsided, she feels like she has no appetite to eat but she still feeds herself with a piece of bread with strawberry jam so that she can fill her empty stomach to attend her next class.
While she was busy chewing the food suddenly someone handed her a carton of drinks making her furrowed her eyebrows and raised her head to look towards the person. To her surprise, she saw a good looking guy standing in front of her with a smile etched on his lips. Seoyoo began to feel uncomfortable with the tall guy's presence because she was afraid she would be insulted by him. Who knows maybe that smile carries a bad meaning?
"You are Han Seoyoo right?"
The unknown guy asked in a gentle tone.
Seoyoo could not open her mouth to answer his question so she just nodded her head slowly without making any eye contact with him. The guy found her amusing as he chuckles before he took a seat next to Seoyoo. She was shocked by his action and she quickly got up from the bench to go away but she was stopped when there was a hand holding her wrist tightly to prevent her from leaving.
"Hold up Seoyoo, I want to talk with you."
He said while looking at the girl's frightened face.
"I-if you want to b-bad talk to me face to face then forget it, I'm leaving!"
Seoyoo found herself stuttering but she just cares less.
"No, that is not my point! I just want to get to know you, trust me!"
The guy said while still holding her wrist.
When Seoyoo was no longer rebelled, he threw a smile of relief and led her to sit on the bench. The girl avoided eye contact by just looking over her lap.
"My name is Cha Woohyun"
The guy finally introduced his name.
Seoyoo seems a bit hesitant because she rarely talks to students at this university even more so when she is not liked by people lately so she does not know what she has to say. However, once again she heard a soft chuckle from the guy making Seoyoo assumed that he was definitely a social person.
"I bought this for you, This is a strawberry flavor so finish it while it is still cold"
Woohyun tried to assure her with a sweet smile on his handsome face.
Seoyoo could not refuse the guy's offer because strawberry milk was her favorite drink. Hesitantly, Seoyoo took the carton of the drink and punched a hole for her to insert a straw into it. She did not realize that she was actually being watched by Woohyun who looked at her with a smile.
"So Han Seoyoo, Don't you have any classes right now?"
The male began the conversation.
"I don't have classes until tomorrow morning, I was planning to study at the library until dusk"
She said in a hushed voice, not used to have a simple talk with other students like this.
Woohyun nodded his head in understanding then he looked around. It seems that none of the students use this route during lunch so it is no wonder why Seoyoo likes to spend her time here.
"Am I actually bothering you Han Seoyoo?"
He asked in concern when he realized that the girl barely speaks anything from the beginning.
"N-no, just I've never had a proper conversation with others... you know my situation right now was really mess"
Seoyoo said with a pair of eyes glued to her own lap.
"Don't be shy around me, who knows maybe one day we would be a best friend? I will look forward to your confident side"
Woohyun said smiling and the girl accidentally making eye contact with him when she lifted up her face.
"I don't think so because people usually turn their back to me after a while and you will probably do the same-"
"I won't, I want to know you better"
Woohyun said firmly to prove that he was not lying and at the same time to gain her trust.
This silenced the girl, she tried her best to figure out if making friends with this guy would not hurt her as the other students did. Woohyun is very friendly with her and he never stops giving a smile to make Seoyoo feel comfortable with him so it may not be wrong to greet each other sometimes as friends.
"Okay, a friendship wasn't a crime right?"
Seoyoo said in hesitation and standing from her seat, still can not looking into Woohyun eyes after having a chat with him.
"Seoyoo where are you going-"
"Home, I changed my mind since I don't want to miss the bus"
She said as the male nodded his head again.
"See you tomorrow then!"
