The smile at the corner of the young man's mouth was exceptionally gentle, as he held a box of chocolate sticks, naturally taking a seat next to the girl.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked softly.
An Yeran was still taken aback, coming to her senses only when the youth had taken a seat!
Though she would have liked to retort 'well you're already sitting anyway,' she thought better of it, considering this was a person she was meeting for the first time.
"You..." she began softly, "Hello."
The young man replied, "Hello."
They were seated rather close; An Yeran felt a weird sensation and unconsciously moved a little to the side.
What is it like to encounter in real life someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to a character from a novel?
It might be akin to your virtual man crush popping out of your phone screen one day.
The young man, of course, noticed her tiny movement. A hint of melancholy passed through his deep black eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
