Three Years Later ...

Hobi POV:

It's Tuesday morning, I'm woken up by the loud ringing of my alarm clock, which is standing next to my bed on my nightstand.

With difficulty I get up from my soft and warm bed and walk with half-closed eyes to my bathroom, which is right across from my bedroom.

I splash some warm water on my face and wash the sleeping sand out of my eyes, brush my teeth and comb my hair.

Next, my morning routine takes me to my small kitchen.

My apartment has only these three rooms but it is enough for me, besides the rent is exactly in the range which I can afford with my part-time job, which I still have besides my studies.

It is conveniently located, neither too far from the university nor too far from the café where I work. However, if I have to go a little further into the city, the train, streetcar and bus are my salvation.

I turn on my coffee maker and while I wait for my favorite cup to be full, I put some toast in the toaster and put the strawberry jam on the table that my mother gave me on my last visit.

After I have finished breakfast, I go to my room and put on a pair of jeans and a sweater.

I grab my backpack and leave my apartment, locking it behind me, of course.

My way to the university leads through a park and I have to cross a few streets and there I am.

In front of the university I greet some familiar faces before heading to my class.

"Mr. Jung, you are early for your lecture today." Greets my professor Mrs. Kim a friendly older lady with gray hair and round glasses on her nose.

"Good morning Mrs. Kim, I had a few more questions about the topic we had yesterday and was hoping to catch you before class."

"But of course, put your things down first and then you can ask all the questions you want."

I have to smile, of all the professors I like Mrs. Kim the most, she always helps with problems no matter if it has to do with the university or is more a private problem.

I put my backpack and jacket on the seat I always take and go ahead to her table.

YN POV:

"Ne Eomma, I will. ... yes of course ... yup, ... Bye."

As soon as I take the cell phone from my ear, a sigh escapes me, for ten minutes I've had to listen to her lecture me on what I must not forget under any circumstances.

My brain is already full, how am I supposed to concentrate on the lectures now?

I grab my backpack which is already packed in the corner next to the door and head off to meet my new friend.

My first lecture today doesn't start for another two hours and hers has been canceled, which is why we agreed to meet at an ice cream parlor at short notice.

The way there takes only about five minutes, which I walk of course. Arrived there I see already someone who waves to me.

Her name is Kim Mi Cha and I met her on my first day at the university. She is my age and studies acting.

She became one of the most popular girls at the university in the first few days, clearly with her blonde curly hair and beautiful green eyes she is a real eye-catcher. Therefore, I was also very surprised that she has addressed me as I was on my way home.

She is sometimes a bit, how do I say it best, special. Nevertheless, I like her.

"YN Sweety, you are earlier than expected." she hugs me lightly and gives me a smile.

I sit down with her and we talk for a bit until a waitress comes to take our order.

After half an hour, we decide to head to the library.

I tell the waitress from earlier and while she gets the bill I take my wallet out of my pocket.

"Well, where is it?" I hear Mi Cha mutter next to me as she searches through her pink bag with a worried expression.

"What's the matter? What are you looking for?"

"YN I think I forgot my wallet, would you mind paying for me too?" she looks at me with a pleading look.

"Not at all, don't worry, I'm happy to do it."

Later as we are on our way to the library, we run into my boyfriend.

We are just turning a corner when a person waves to us from across the street. Upon closer inspection, I recognize Soo Hyun.

We have been together for about two years, I met him in Busan at my school.

As soon as there is no car in sight, he runs across the street to us and first greets Mi Cha with a short hug before coming to me and pressing a kiss on my cheek.

He wears a pair of torn jeans and a black t-shirt, quite simple actually, yet he looks damn good with the brown strands hanging a bit in his face and the slim, well-trained body.

Again a person with whom I do not know why he spends time with me.

Soo Hyun joins us after Mi Cha tells him our plan and accompanies us to the library.

After arriving at the large building, everyone searches through the many aisles of bookshelves for what they need to study, then we meet at one of the large tables located among the shelves.

About an hour passes until suddenly my phone rings, I quickly put it on silent and look to see who called.

Missed call from 'Eomma'.

Also a message asking me to call her back as soon as possible.

When I look at today's date I know why, how could I forget what day it is!

So I quickly pack my things and say goodbye to my two friends.

"I'm afraid I have to go, Mi Cha we'll make something up later for the project I'm supposed to help you with, ok?"

"Oh, sure. I'll text you later about the time."

"Alright, see you both then."

A 'bye' comes from both of them in response and I turn and walk towards the exit.

I am in such a hurry that I collide with someone.

It's a boy about my age, he dropped one of the books he was carrying in his arms during the collision.

I quickly pick it up and give it to him without really looking at him. I quickly apologize with a small bow and run on in the direction of my apartment.
