It was a sunny day in Seoul, and I, a quirky and free-spirited artist, found myself hanging my latest masterpiece in the park. Little did I know that this would lead to the most unforgettable and comical encounter of my life.

While I was struggling to secure my painting, a gust of wind swept through, snatching it from my grasp. The next thing I knew, it smacked right into the face of a stranger, a dazzling one I would say. Paint smeared across his cheeks, he stood there with a bewildered expression that made me burst into uncontrollable laughter.

“Well, I guess I should thank you for adding some color to my day.”

I was honestly embarrassed by what happened, however it was so funny that I can’t ignore it. With an ounce of guilt, I proceeded to utter an apology. “I'm so sorry about that. I really didn't mean to hit you.” I said in between giggles.

He started wiping the paint off his face. “It's alright. It was just a little unexpected.”

Oh, yes! He was so… handsome! I was totally smitten. I can’t help but make the first move. “I'm Vinci, by the way. I'm an artist, if you can tell.”

He extended his hand with a smile, and wow, dimples! “Nice to meet you, Vinci. I'm Reyster. I'm actually on my way to a meeting, but I don't think they'll take me seriously with paint on my face.”

I chuckled. “Yeah, probably not. Do you want some help getting cleaned up?”

“That would be great, thanks.”

We cleaned off the paint while Reyster and I couldn't help but chat and laugh about the situation. We exchanged phone numbers before parting ways,and we  both felt a spark of attraction that we couldn't explain.

That very moment became the start of something beautiful, though we were oblivious to it at the time.
