It's been 289 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes since I first heard your "I love you," the genuine one.

It all started in a classroom where it was enshrouded in silence; only the sound of scratching pencils could be heard. Each student was seated at a desk in an orderly row, their head down in full concentration as they studied for the examination. The pressure and ticking clock filled the room with a heavy tension.

Outside the classroom, a boy was seated in the last row. His eyes drifting between the questionnaires and his watch. As he finished answering, he relaxed as his body leaned on the chair. But his gaze flickered to his left side, where a girl sat. A short-haired girl with a calm demeanor wearing a hoodie jacket that seemed to be weighed down by a hint of mystery. In contrast to her cool-looking personality, her morena skin gleamed with warmth. Those beautiful eyes make one be captivated as though being pulled by a black hole.

The boy whispered, "I never imagined it would be her," with a hint of wonder in his voice, as though the realization had just hit him. "I can't believe... she's the one I was meant to find."

It was truly an unexpected encounter, so simple that it seemed almost unreal. What started out as a casual conversation had turned into a late-night chat that, unbeknownst to them, developed into something far more significant. Something lovely. Something neither had expected.

Nine months of love may appear brief to some, but for them, it had been an eternity in its own right. Months of happiness, sadness, laughter, arguments, and moments that seemed as short as they were long. Every moment was both temporary and everlasting as time stretched and contracted. Through the strange twists of fate, a girl and a boy, two strangers, found their paths overlapping in ways neither could have predicted, their lives linking in a dance of love and chaos.

And so, as the pages of their story continue to turn, let us witness the unseen force of the couple's connection that will subtly yet profoundly affect their days ahead. Their journey is only getting started and is going to unfold in an enigmatic manner.
