"What in the world-" my eyes widened seeing the same Korean-speaking man in the field before.
"Please don't panic!" he pleaded, stepping towards me with both his arms raised in the air.
"What am I supposed to do then? Give you tea and welcome you?!"...

Months passed by easily and swiftly, all signs of the icy cold winter were washed away by the brightest hues of sunshine. No more the bare wands which held the magic of winter within its palm, just the fantasies of the upcoming Spring and its wonders. The sky no longer had the dense layer of grey fathom but replaced by the chaotic array of white puffy shapes amidst the azure. The previously denuded branches of the trees had decorated themselves with green exposing themselves to the spring. The wind no longer stole the warmth of the pedestrians but implanted late rays of sun in them. The birds had started their charismatic chirps and the animals resumed their hearty warmth. The ground, instead of being bare, has coated itself with the brightest colors in nature to ensure the enlightenment of humans with vivid blooms whose petals dance to the breeze. It was beautiful unlike anything in this world.
The spring brings us to hope that after the hard cold days of freezing winter, after the days of hardships and resentments, there may come a day when we can start alive, start afresh; to resume our lives, and again go on the quest for happiness.
In my case, it was right beside me.
My soulmate.
Life is going with the flow. I'd cracked the school board exam easily just like I'd calculated. I was sure I'd score a great score in it because the science subjects were comparatively easier than last year. It was not hard at all that the State Education Board has passed some complications in the evaluation; meaning it'll be strict. I didn't care, I knew I'll get good marks.
The life outside school, well though the pandemonium has died down my fame had not gotten any less. I had to take mom's car to go to the exams and I couldn't even get my alone time in buses and my beloved field. I kinda missed them too but what could I do? I'd been called into interviews but my mom refused politely saying I'd exams coming and I'd to prepare for entrances, somehow they understood and the weirdest thing's that they'd wished me luck; my mom's phone was full of messages from my well-wishers wishing me all the best on my exams. It was good though, it boosted my confidence. Also because of Jimin. He'd always give me a thumbs up and say I can do it with that bright eye smile of his. He'd right away brighten my mood and ease my nerves embracing me in his unconditional warmth and love. I just can't pay these debts back.
I'd not changed a bit. I'm still the same cold-hearted nerd who ignores any contact with humans though with Jimin's assistance I'd adorn my face with a smile whenever I met my so-called fans. At first, they seriously were a nuisance, but then I started to cherish them too. It was once in a lifetime opportunity to be treated like a celebrity even though I hate the limelight. Jimin always teased saying that I should be accosted to the spotlight because I was gonna be married to him in the future anyway.
