Under the Same Umbrella ☔ : A Tale of Love

Chapter 9: Twilight Reunion

Yearning to Meet

In the bustling atmosphere of the university campus, Boss found himself surrounded by friends, each engaged in their own conversations and activities.

Boss, Fort, Sunny, and Pak chatted amiably,..Fort couldn't help but bring up Noeul.

"So, any plans to see that cute guy again?" he asked with a grin.

Boss couldn't contain his smile.

"Actually, yeah. I got his number.
We're meeting at the cafe where he works later," he replied, his voice tinged with excitement.

Fort's eyes widened with excitement.

"That's awesome! I'm happy for you, man," he exclaimed, patting Boss on the back.

Sunny and Pak chimed in with their well-wishes. "Good luck, Boss!" they cheered in unison.

But when Fort suggested him to express his feelings Boss hesitated.

"I want to take it slow," he confessed. "Noeul's young and innocent. I don't want to rush things."

Understanding his friend's feelings, Fort nodded. "Got it. Take your time,"
he reassured Boss with a supportive smile.

Pak: "Hey Fort, how come you got to see Noeul and we didn't?"

Sunny: "Yeah, it's not fair! We want to meet him too!"

Fort: "Well, you'll get your chance soon enough. Noeul is really cool, you guys will like him. You know, Noeul is not just handsome, but he's also really pretty and cute, don't you think?"

Boss: *smiling* "Yeah, he is .. Alright, I'll take you both with me to the cafe this evening."

Pak and Sunny: *excited* "Okay Boss!"

As they parted ways for their classes, Boss couldn't shake the anticipation building inside him. He couldn't wait for the evening to come, eager to see Noeul again.

As Noeul, Forth, and Donut sat together enjoying their lunch on campus, the lively chatter filled the air.

They discussed everything from classes to upcoming events, their laughter ringing out amidst the hustle and bustle of university life.

Amidst their conversation, Forth leaned in with a mischievous grin and directed his question to Noeul.

"Hey, Noeul, tell us more about that guy you met at the bus stop. What's he like?"

Noeul's cheeks flushed pink at the mention of Boss, but he couldn't hide the smile that crept onto his face.

"Oh, he's... he's really nice," Noeul replied, his voice soft with fondness.

"He's kind, and he has this... this aura about him, you know? It's like he brings warmth wherever he goes."

Noeul quickly told his friends about meeting at the café and also mentioned previous meeting at the bus stop.

Forth and Donut exchanged knowing glances, their curiosity piqued by Noeul's response.

"Sounds like someone's got a crush,"
Donut teased, nudging Noeul playfully.

Noeul's blush deepened, but he couldn't deny the truth in Donut's words.

"Maybe... I mean, he's just... different," Noeul admitted, a dreamy smile gracing his lips as he thought of Boss.

Forth : "Well, whatever he's like, we want to meet him too! You'll have to introduce us sometime,"
