This is the story of a girl named "Ember." She's just an ordinary girl leading a normal life. Her days are typically monotonous, moving from home to college and back again. However, today marks a significant change as it's her first day of college and her first time traveling alone without her family. Feeling nervous, her father sees her off at the bus stop.

As she boards the bus, her heart begins to race. Ember thinks that listening to some music might help her relax. The university is quite a distance from her home since it's located on the outskirts of the city. After a one-hour journey, she finally arrives at the university. Her shy nature makes her unsure of what to do.

The university is sprawling, one of the largest in the city. She eventually finds her way to her department, the Management Department. Strangely, the classroom is empty when she enters. After a while, some other students start to trickle in. Ember wants to initiate a conversation but her reserved nature holds her back. A perceptive girl notices her and approaches.

"Hey, are you Ember?"

"Yes, I am. And you?"

"Hello, I'm Sofia. We chatted on WeChat, remember?"

"Oh, yes! I remember. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise. So, want to be friends?"

"Okay," Ember says, offering a shy smile.

Sofia suggests, "Since we don't have class right now, let me give you a tour of the university."

Ember agrees without hesitation. They explore various areas like the pool, library, gym, playground, and more. With Sofia's company, Ember starts feeling more comfortable.

When classes begin, Ember finds the teachers to be friendly and skilled at teaching. During their free time after a break, Ember and Sofia decide to visit the library for some books. Their camaraderie grows stronger throughout the day.

As it's time to head back home, they bid each other goodbye and board different buses with separate routes. Ember reflects on how quickly she made a good friend on her first day and smiles to herself.

Upon arriving home, she excitedly shares her day's events with her mom before freshening up. Her room is located downstairs while her parents occupy the first floor along with the living and dining areas. After dinner, they engage in some entertainment before heading to bed.

Exhausted, Ember finally retreats to her room. As she lays on her bed, thoughts of her eventful day lull her to sleep...

...

...

When Ember wakes up, she feels disoriented. She rubs her eyes, which are heavy with sleepiness. As her vision clears, she realizes that she's in an unfamiliar room she's never seen before. A sense of unease washes over her.

"Where am I? What is this place?"

 Chapter -2

 A girl in my garden

A teenager named Ember was peacefully asleep in her room, but that night held an unexpected turn of events that nobody could have foreseen.

As the sun began to cast its first light, a young boy arose from his slumber, preparing for the day ahead. Upon opening his front door, he was met with a surprising sight – a girl was sleeping on a bench in his garden. He stood there for a moment, simply staring, his mind racing to comprehend how she had ended up in his garden and why she was sleeping there.

His gaze lingered on her, captivated by her beauty. Shaking his head slightly, he noticed that the chill in the air was causing her to shiver. Without hesitation, he gently lifted her in a bridal-like hold and carefully placed her onto his bed, covering her with a quilt. Taking a seat beside her, he found himself gazing at her again. She appeared to be around eighteen years old or perhaps even younger, her height shorter from his vantage point. Her black, long hair cascaded untidily over her face. With a gentle motion, he tucked her hair behind her ear, and a smile graced the girl's lips, prompting a matching smile from him as he noticed her comfort.

After a period of waiting for her to awaken, he decided to prepare breakfast, pondering whether she might need something to eat as well. As he moved to the kitchen, he left the door ajar.

Sometime later, the girl's eyes fluttered open, and she rubbed them as she took in her surroundings. As she fully focused, a jolt of fear surged through her – she was not in her own room but in an unfamiliar place. Trembling with uncertainty, she murmured to herself, questioning whether it was a dream or reality.

Footsteps reached her ears, and she observed that the door was open. In a rush of anxiety, she hurriedly shut the door and retreated to the bed, clutching the covers tightly.

A knock echoed, causing her heart to race. She attempted to respond, but her words failed to materialize. From the other side, the boy's voice broke the silence, calmly urging her to open the door. Inquiring who he was and where she was, she cautiously replied, her voice tinged with apprehension.

"Just come down and open the door. I'll explain," he reassured her.

A brief pause followed before the boy continued, addressing her unease about the situation. He suggested that it might be easier to talk face to face, acknowledging the many questions they both likely had.

His voice, unfamiliar yet comforting, made her feel safer. Summoning her courage, she slowly approached the door and opened it. As her eyes traveled upward, her heartbeat intensified. Before her stood a young man, dressed in black joggers and a white long-sleeved hoodie. A sudden stumble caused her to take a step back, but the boy swiftly caught her, gripping her waist to steady her. Her dark, shimmering eyes met his bright brown ones, and for a moment, everything seemed to pause.

 first kiss

He helped her up and said, "My name is Emir, and what's yours?" He asked with a smile. "I am Ember," she said, breaking eye contact. They both looked in different directions to avoid the awkwardness.

"Are you all right?" he asked her. "Ahem! I am all right."

"Let's sit and talk," he suggested. She agreed and, while sitting, asked, "Where am I?" "Actually, you are in my house right now."

"Why did you bring me here?" Ember inquired. "You were sleeping on the garden bench, so I tried to help you out."

"What garden bench are you talking about?" "The bench in my garden. You were sleeping there. I saw you when I went out for a jog."

"How is that possible? I was sleeping in my bedroom. How did I end up here?" she muttered, though it was audible enough for him to hear.

"Did you think someone brought you here?" he asked curiously, but she didn't reply. She looked at him and admitted, "Yeah, I got it. I'm just feeling lonely. My mind is playing tricks on me. You're just a dream. You'll disappear when I wake up."

"What are you saying? Isn't it obvious that I am real because I am right in front of you?" he said, "Wake up, Ember. You're dreaming. Just wake up!", ember just making herself realize that it's a dream.

"Hey, stop doing that. You can't run from the situation like this," he urged, holding her hands. They were only inches apart, and their closeness made Ember blush. "Are you running a fever? Your cheeks are red," he noted. "No, I'm not," she maintained her distance. "I think you are. You were sleeping outside while shivering. I will call the doctor." "No, you don't have to call the doctor. I'm fine."

He held her hand and pulled her closer, then placed his other hand on her forehead to check her temperature. Everything seemed fine. "You seem fine, but as a precaution, you should eat porridge."

"Where are we?" she asked. "Let's have breakfast first, then we can talk about that." "Sure," she agreed, nodding her head. She was about to get up from the bed when he stopped her, saying, "You sit here. I will bring breakfast for you." She nodded and remained seated.

Alone in the room, Ember glanced around. It was a spacious peach-colored room with white curtains that let in soft light. The bed she was on was quite large and inviting. She couldn't resist testing its softness, bouncing on it with a playful comment, , " the bed is soft too." yeh! You are right the mattress is really soft in this room, "emir commented with a soft smile on his face, " yeh! That's right "and jump again without noticing that its emir. When she turns his face and see its emir she sits in properly manner. 

Emir chuckled at her reaction, and she felt embarrassed. He commented on the breakfast "so this is the breakfast for us". She exclaimed, "Us!" in surprise, but "do you want to stay without breakfast?" he asked. Ember was flustered and explained that she didn't mean it that way, and they decided to eat.

" let's eat", she says and take the bowl from emir's hand and take a fast sip that burn her lips. "Oh! My it's too hot…". Immediately emir took the bowl from her hand," are you stupid it's too hot yet you eat "and, he said aggressively. she was blowing her lips. he grabs her hand and capture her lips it turns into a soft kiss and say, "see now it's not hot now". Emir blink his eyes and his kiss which turned out to be a dream. Emir gave her some water, "are you okay?"

" Yeh! I am good"." I am sorry for what I say before", he says while scratching his head." it's okay, you are right it's my fault" She says while smiling and they shared a lighthearted moment, both realizing the awkwardness of the situation.

" did you sleep walk ?"Emir asked Ember about how she ended up in his garden, suspecting sleepwalking, She denied it, leading Emir to suggest that people sometimes do things unconsciously in their sleep." I don't mean to offend you but yet! you can think .. You don't know what you do while sleeping "he try to make her remember something that happened.

" no! I don't do anything while sleeping", This embarrassed Ember and start avoiding eye contact from him. He gets that point and take a stand and move towards the door. She gets confused but don't say anything. He turns his head and faces her," hey get ready we are going to my college". and Emir decided to head to his college, inviting her along.

" Your college! Why? "

" You don't know how you came here but you are my responsibility to take care and I don't want to leave you alone here, I have something important to attend there, so you can join me'' he says while looking in her eyes... Ember was moved by Emir's consideration, and tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to hide her emotions behind a smile, agreeing to go to his college with him.

" I am going to get change " After he left to change.

She gets relaxed on the bed and see the bowl of soup she takes a sip while assuring that it's not too hot but it's in the right temperature,'' yum! Tasty did he make it".

After finishing the bowl. she examined herself in the mirror and realized she needed a change of clothes. She went to ask him," knock! Knock! Are you, their emir?" 

The door open ember say," you don't tell me that…"she just rolled her eyes from the floor what she found Emir in a bathrobe, wet from a shower. what happened you called me? "he says and ember get out from the world of her dreams where she is just mesmerizing emir's beauty and staring at the water drop dripping from his face to his chest.

" Ah ah! What are you in? "She averted her gaze, feeling flustered by the situation. In a quick motion, she turned around to break their eye contact. And Emir remembers what he is wearing he stand in the proper position and wear bathrobe properly and say, " what is that you want to tell?"

She say,'' actually I can't come with you".

"why ?" he asked .

" I can't go to your college. I can't go in my night dress ." she explain.

" you can go back. let me think way to this problem" emir say.

" okay", she rush back and close the door without looking back to emir.

Emir also close the door and start taking the deep breath ,"huff ! What a fool I am.. How can I open the door in this situation of mine..

 On the other side , ember jump on the bed while covering her face on the pillow," Oh my ! What I see… my eye .."After a while she jump and sit back and peak from the pillow and say, " he is too hot. No! No! what I thinking".

"What you are thinking?" emir asked while standing on the door that was too sudden that she jumped by surprise and say, "who? .. Oh! You I am just .. Nothing I was not thinking anything.. that not even related to you …" she just saying this while shaking her head in No..

"Okay! Okay! I get it. This is my old uniform. You can use it for a while. Go get changed."

Ember got up from the bed to close the door. "Hey, what are you doing?" Emir asked as she came closer to him.

"I am just closing the door to get changed," she replied, not understanding why he was asking.

"Okay," he said and went downstairs.

She closed the door and changed, but the uniform was too loose for her. "Even though this is his old uniform, it doesn't fit at all," Ember thought, struggling with the oversized clothes.

"Why is she taking so long? Let me go and check," Emir wondered.

"Knock, knock. Are you done, Ember?" he asked.

The door opened, and Ember stood in front of him. The pants were touching the floor, and her hands were hidden in the long sleeves of the shirt.

"Haha!" Emir burst into laughter.

"Hey, I am not going with you," she said, folding her arms across her chest and sitting on the bed.

"She is too cute," Emir thought. He entered the room, held her hand, and made her stand. "Let me make you look a little more beautiful," he said, adjusting the uniform so it fit better.

"Done. Now, your hair."

"I can do it on my own," Ember protested.

"Be quiet. I'll do it today," Emir insisted. After a long struggle, he sighed, "Ugh! Why won't your hair cooperate?" A small smile appeared on Ember's face.

"Let me do it. Next time, you can," she offered.

Just then, Emir's phone rang, and he went to pick it up. While he was distracted, Ember finished her hair and realized she didn't have any shoes.

Emir arrived with a pair, kneeling down to help her put them on. "You don't have to," she said, but he had already finished. "Now you are ready. Let's go." 

As they both stood up, their heads accidentally collided, sharing a moment of closeness.

"Are you hurt?" Emir asked.

"No, it's okay. But we need to do it again," Ember replied.

"What are you...?" Before Emir could finish, she pulled her head closer to his and bumped it again. "Ugh! Ember…"

"Did I do it too hard?" she asked, concerned.

"Yeah, it was harder than the first time. But why again?" Emir asked, rubbing his head.

"Because one time brings bad luck," she explained.

"What bad luck? You believe in superstitions?"

"No, I don't but…"

"Let's go. We are getting late," Emir said, leaving the room.

"Okay, but I don't want you to get hurt," Ember murmured and followed him.

"Come and get in the car," Emir said.

"Okay," she nodded and got in.
