The traffic light turned green, signalling the pedestrians can walk on the road. "May I help you?" Jieun heard a masculine voice. She got startled a bit and moved a little to the back. "No thanks, I can walk myself to that side." She bowed a little to the tall man standing next to her.

"Are you afraid that I might be a thug? Even though if I was, it's broad day light." the man said. "No I didn't meant that. I- actually-" as she said Jieun had her leg twisted as she moved a little back again but her foot got hit by the guardrail and she almost fell off, but she felt something on her waist which prevented her from falling down totally. It was a hand. A very muscular one as she felt.

"Are you okay?" the same voice said again. She stood up on her legs, "Yes I am. Thank you for that."

"The light will turn red soon. Should I help you?" he asked for the last time as she held his arms from both her hands and they walked ahead together. After they crossed the pathway the man turned towards her, "We are here now." he continued, "May ask for your name by the way?" he questioned.

"Lee Jieun."

"And yours?" she questioned back.

"Kim Namjoon."

"You really have a pretty name, Jieun-ssi." he complemented.

"Oh, thank you."

"I'll take my leave now. Get home safely." he smiled at her figure which was bowing down a little thanking him for his generosity.

"How did his voice sound like? Did you felt his facial features? Tell me! Tell me!" Yujin said shaking her whole body. "He was just a stranger. Why would I feel his facial features when we just met? Moreover he just helped me out of humanity. The world is so big. We will never meet again I bet." she said putting away her best friend's hand. "But what if it's fate? That's why he helped you. The world might be big but this city isn't. If he was alone than he probably lives in this city. If he was walking by than he lives in this area only. My senses are telling me to find my friend's destiny. Her soulmate- Kim Namjoon." she screamed a little in excitement but the librarian shushed her down.

"I just know that it's not the first time some stranger helped me cross the road. Secondly, many guys come to me asking for my phone number but they get away when they realize that I am visually impaired. Not their fault though." Jieun sighed, "I'll leave now. I guess I studied more than enough today." She took her book which she had not even touched since she told about Namjoon to Yujin. She packed up and left the library.

Jieun stepped out from the library, "Jieun-ah, wanna get a ride to home?" she heard a familiar voice. A very familiar one. It was the smell of the same cologne she had once loved with all her heart. As if the world stopped when she heard him again.

"It"s him. It's really him." she thought.

"I am..."

"Eun Gyehoon."

Jieun uttered. "How have you been doing lately? I'm back for a few days. We should go out on lunch someday. What about now? Are you free?" Gyehoon said restlessly. "No, I'm busy right now. And... I'll walk back home." saying this, Jieun turned around. But someone held her hands, stopping her from leaving.

"Jieun-ah, are you still upset from me? Please forgive me. I know I did wrong but we were kids back then right? Right? Jieun." Gyehoon turned her around and forcefully hugged her. "Leave. LEAVE GYEHOON." Jieun struggled to get out of his hold but then someone pulled Gyehoon from behind.

"Ah, fuck who are you?" Gyehoon yelled. "Harrassing someone in broad daylight? You must be really something." Jieun recognised the husky manly voice from earlier.

"We are friends. And I'm not harrassing her, you fool." Gyehoon said getting off from Namjoon's grip. "Is he right Jieun-ssi?" Namjoon asked you with a calmer voice than earlier. "I do know him though..." Jieun hesitated. "You heard that. Now you can leave." Gyehoon told him.

"Namjoon-ssi, can you walk me till home?" they both turned their heads and looked at her. "I don't want him to trouble me on my way back home." Jieun continued. "Could you please?"

"So, I was right. You were troubling her." Namjoon let out a sigh and held at her arms. "You give me the directions and I'll help you move." he smiled a little at her short figure in front of him. Those dimples of him went deeper on his face as his smile grew up to his ears.

"Jieun, are you really leaving me like this?" Gyehoon was furious. "It's not that bad like you did to me 6 years ago." Jieun replied calmly and then backed to his face, moving away with Namjoon. After sometime they both disappeared from Gyehoon's sight.

"Have you got yourself someone new? But you loved me right?" Gyehoon took a deep breath and went back inside his car and drove away.

They were at the front of her house. "Give me your phone number." Namjoon spoke.

"Uhm, why?"

"Why? What why? So that you can call me anytime if that bastard troubles you again. He is a grown up man. He should know how to act like gentleman." Namjoon vent out. "It's okay. He won't do that stuff anymore." Jieun spoke with a smile.

"Yeah, he may do worse. Be alert. And just tell me your number." Namjoon looked at Jieun silently until she spoke. "Okay, note it down. It's 781XXXXXXX"

"I must go inside now. And thanks for being with me today." Jieun had a big smile on her face. "No thanks. We must help the needy." He closed the gate for her and left.

"HAVE YOU FINALLY GOT A BOYFRIEND?" Jihoon screamed at the top of his lungs. "He is just a friend you idiot. How many times will I have to repeat myself?" Jieun threw a pillow from where she heard his voice coming.

"But it's the first time we are all seeing you with a guy in 6 years." her mother said. She placed the tea cup on the table and sat on her comfortable seat. She rested her back on the armchair. "I am your mom. Tell me if there is something." she spoke.

"I guess there is really nothing going on." Jihoon quietly murmured in the mother's ear.

"You brat, what crap are you filling her ears with?" Jieun shouted at her younger brother. "I just told her that there is nothing really going on. Don't shout." he pouted.

"Whatever. I am going to take some rest. It was a hectic day." she stood up and went in her room. Laying on the bed, it was past 10 minutes but Jieun couldn't sleep. She turned to other sides again and again but she wasn't able to sleep. Overthinking as she was about the male who helped her in crossing the road and getting away from Gyehoon.

" I rarely take more than 5 minutes to sleep. What's up with me today?" she took a turn again but finally little snores could be heard in the room.
