She's all I could think about since that night in the park.

"You found her?" Joshua slapped my arm "Well if that's not destiny I don't know what is"

I smiled to myself, Destiny? More like dumb luck but I'm not complaining. "She's an art major at our Uni" I soaked up the morning sun. "She didn't message last night though" I sighed.

Joshua stared at me like I'm dumb "Does she have your number?"

You're so stupid Mingyu.

I face-palmed myself. "No"

"Let's go check on our new friend" For an introvert, Joshua was ever ready to meet people, I think he just likes drama.

"That's weird" I wanted to see her, I did.

"Buy her a coffee, that makes it unweird" he flashed his angel smile and I conceded.

The door was slightly open. I peeked in and saw her, she wore baggy jeans and a green sweatshirt. Her hair was in two buns on either side of her head, "That's her" I whispered to Joshua.

We were about to enter when a well-dressed woman walked over to her.

"Why haven't you started sculpting?" Hwa hung her head at the question

"I'll start soon, I'm just- stuck"

"Stuck?" The woman slapped her.

Joshua held me back from barging in and cussing that woman out, How dare she slap a student?

I watched Hwa hold tears back "I'll start today ma'am"

The woman raised her hand again and Hwa-young flinched "Get your head out of the clouds! You were one of my best students! What happened to you!" She slapped her again.

"I- I'm sorry, I'm trying" The woman shook her head at that answer.

"Maybe you're not cut out for this field, I'll withdraw your name from the auction"

Hwa fell to her knees "Please, just give me two days, I'll have something ready"

I didn't know art students had it hard like this "I don't want something, I want something good Miss Woo, You won't eat, sleep or leave until you've got something worth showing or leave my studio perminantly, understood?"

Hwa nodded and the woman left.

"Don't go in yet" Joshua whispered "She'll hate that you saw that"

I waited for five minutes, watching Hwa sniffle back tears and sketch. I wanted to hold her, help her. I wanted to DO SOMETHING!

She turned away from the door and looked out the window "Don't sweat her babe, you've got this shit in the bag."

A girl with red highlights hugged Hwa and kissed her cheek.

"Now?" I asked my small-headed friend.

"Two minutes".

After what felt like the longest two minutes I snuck into the studio, All eyes were on me, but Hwa didn't turn.

Her black headphones were on full blast as she scribbled on her page before banging her head on the desk. "I give up"

She turned and stared at me in shock, "No, you don't give up, you need air. Let's go" I don't know what I was thinking but I took her hand and led her out of the room with, surprisingly, no protest from her.

"How much did you see?" She walked to the edge of the roof and climbed up.

My heart stopped "Nothing" she looked at me in disbelief.

"Don't lie to me" she laid back.

"What's that lady's problem?" I sat on a chair close by.

"Me, I'm not performing" she sighed and sat up "Do you smoke?"

I shrugged "Occasionally, but I don't make a habit of it" She hopped off the ledge and stood in front of me

"Maybe she's right, I should drop out"

She put a cigarette between her lips with a soft sigh. I took it out of her mouth and pulled her to my chest. I hoped she couldn't hear how fast my heart was pounding.

"You can't drop out, you haven't even sculpted me yet" I tried to lighten her mood, but felt something cold on my chest. She's crying.

great job gyu, you made her cry!

I tried to make her look at me, but she clutched onto my shirt and burried her face in my chest crying softly.

My heart was breaking "I'm sorry" she whispered.

I squeezed her "Don't apologize stalker"

"I'm not like this usually, it's embarrassing" She stepped away, wiped a tear, and lit the cigarette.

I put my arm around her expecting her to yell at me but she didn't, she rested against me trying to steady her breath.

"You can't quit, I'll help you" I stroked her arm.

"You can't help me, I have no ideas and two days to present something, I was supposed to ask you on a date now I'm stuck in this stupid school until I can figure out what I'm doing" I felt my cheeks turn red.

She was going to ask me out? This girl really is something else.

"Why didn't you message me yesterday?" She looked up at me, her button nose red from crying.

"I'm an idiot who was waiting for you to message me... I forgot you don't have my number" she smiled "There she is, let me see that stalker smile" I ruffled her hair.

"I should go back in" she ashed her cigarette "Thanks Gyu" She stood on her toes and pecked my cheek. "See you around."

She left me on the roof, smiling like an idiot.

She left me on the roof, smiling like an idiot
