Whispers of Destiny

Unexpected Encounters

"Hey!"

 He called out, waving his hand to get Selena's attention. He was undeniably cool and beautiful, embodying the very essence of what true beauty looks like.

"Can I help you, girl? By the way, I'm Yeonjun. I'm a transfer student from Korea. I got a scholarship and that brought me here," he said, his dark, innocent eyes reflecting sincerity.

Selena felt a mix of nerves and curiosity. "Yeah, I'm Selena. This is my first day at the university," she replied, her voice slightly trembling with apprehension.

"Great, I can show you around. Just let me know your class, darling," said Yeonjun, his tone effortlessly charming.

Selena felt a jolt of confusion rather than butterflies in her stomach. "Darling?! Why the heck did he call me darling? I want him as a friend, nothing more. I don't want to reject a cool guy like him or ruin the friendship I hope we'll soon have," she thought, her mind racing. Despite her stunning appearance—like a princess straight out of a fairy tale—Selena prided herself on being an anti-romantic, or at least that's what she believed about herself.

"Hey, why do you look like a lost puppy, Selena? Tell me where your class is, and I'll take you there, okay?" Yeonjun said with genuine concern.

 He had already fallen for her at first sight, captivated by her presence.

Love at first sight sucks

 However, he could see her stunned reaction and didn't want to jeopardize their potential friendship.

Selena gathered her thoughts and finally spoke up. "I'm in the literature department. My first class is in the old building, Room 203."

"Got it! The old building is a bit tricky to find, but I'll guide you there. Follow me," Yeonjun said with a reassuring smile.

As they walked together through the picturesque campus, Selena couldn't help but notice the grandeur of the university. The ancient stone buildings, the meticulously manicured gardens, and the serene atmosphere made her feel like she had stepped into another world. Yeonjun chatted animatedly, sharing stories about his life in Korea, his journey to the university, and his excitement about the new adventure.

Selena listened, her initial nervousness slowly dissipating. She found herself enjoying Yeonjun's company, appreciating his friendly nature and genuine enthusiasm. They reached the old building, and Yeonjun led her up the winding staircase to Room 203.

"Here we are," Yeonjun said looking at the old building.
 "If you need anything else, just let me know."

Selena smiled, feeling a warm sense of camaraderie. "Thanks, Yeonjun. I appreciate your help. Can we friends ?" asked Selena nervously.

"Absolutely," he replied with a grin. "Friends it is."

As she stepped into that building, Selena felt a renewed sense of confidence. Maybe this university was more than just a place of academic excellence; it was a place where unexpected friendships and new beginnings awaited her.
