orientation.
it's the time where everyone anticipated.
meeting new people.
entering the dream course and university.
looking at people with different personalities and looks.
find your groups.
taking your departments lanyard and varsity jacket.
drinking with your seniors and your new batch mates.
play games.
fall in love at first sight.
a bit out of place to fall in love don't you think?
well jaehyun thinks otherwise.
you see, jaehyun was what the people call rich boy.
he came from a family that has a royal lineage. his bloodline didn't only create the royal family, but even created the politicians, chairmen and him, the future ceo of a group called dulee group.
dulee group made the world class contracting companies - not only that but they made hospitals, pharmaceutical, fashion line and even a foundation for the people in need.
in short they're rich rich. like we're talking about untouchable rich.
jaehyun knew he needed to succeed his family and be the next ceo in the family. he's very first plan is to open a hotel by the beach or mountain (and a club but we don't talk about that)
but this was his groundbreaking moment.
he knew he just met the love of his life.
can you believe it? the campus rich boy - notorious for his vast list of roster - is falling in love at first sight with a girl he saw at the orientation?
she was the only person he was staring at all day.
he first met her at the booth where she was signing her attendance and taking her department landyard. jaehyun had just came by to sightsee the new students and possibly pick out the girls he wants to add to the long list of his roster. in the meantime, he went by the fashion designing departments booth to meet his friend and saw her.
if you asked him what he felt at the moment he laid eyes on her, he'll answer with, "it felt as if the time had stopped. suddenly the only thing that mattered was me and her. her hair looked so pretty while it blew softly. i can see flower petals falling around us. the moment i locked eyes with her - my breathe stopped"
oh she didn't know it but she had him wrapped around her finger.
at the get-together that night, he tried his best to strike up a conversation with her and be next to her.
during her introduction, the voice he imagined she'd have was even softer and filled with purity in his ears.
"hello! i'm hong y/n! i came from busan -" jaehyun would be lying if he said the hollers that the males caused wasn't bothering him. busan girls are known to be cute, pretty but at the same time they have a hidden charm (which was known behind doors). y/n giggled at the hollers which enticed jaehyun even more, "-nice to meet you all!" she brightly grinned at everyone.
jaehyun knew that he was supposed to be at his own department but here he is, being in the same group as y/n while they played games.
jaehyun felt his palms sweat and his legs shaking a whole lot as they picked the players for the game.
the next game was guessing the song by the lyrics. y/n proposed that she's very good at guessing songs by just the lyrics - even if it was acted out. so they made her their front player.
and surely she guessed almost all of the songs correctly. when she answered how she knew it, "i'm a big kpop fan"
afterwards the groups had a get-to-know with each other.
"i'm hyunjae. i'm actually not from this department - i was just here for my friend and was dragged to join..." he felt himself trembling as y/n was staring at him very intently
"really? what department are you in?"
"majoring in business management and minoring in hotel management"
"a future ceo is it?" jaehyun can only laugh half-heartedly at the comment.
when some of them were now scattered around and talking to new people, jaehyun took the opportunity to sit next to y/n and start a conversation with her.
"how are you feeling?"
"great! but i don't like the way the drink makes me feel"
"i bet you're not a drinker?"
y/n shook her head, "i don't like the taste but i don't want to be a party pooper"
"do you need help with finishing that?" he pointed towards the drink in her hands that she's been nursing since she walked away
"i don't want to bother you with that...you still have your own drink..."
"i can't let a girl who can't drink to continue drinking another can of beer on her own" he pulled the can away from her gently and gulped down the alcohol.
"come, let's get you sobered up" he stood up and held his hands out for her to take it.
y/n grinned at him and held his hands.
"what's that on your finger?" jaehyun asked as he saw the shining silver band on her finger
y/n looked down on her finger and saw what he meant, "oh this? it's a purity ring!"
"purity ring...?"
"it simply means that i'll keep my abstinence until marriage"
so she's a virgin
jaehyun was way past beyond saving now. he's thoughts wasn't dirty but instead delusional.
he was most importantly daydreaming anout how sweet it is to be her first - by that means after marriage. yes he's already planning to marrying her. he's not going to take her virginity without marrying her as it was her vow to god.
then a phone call disrupted his train of delusion.
"sunbae, i'm sorry i have to go pick up the call" jaehyun nodded and gestured for her to pretend like he wasn't there
"hello? i'm doing well! how are you there? are you having fun? i am! it's was very exciting! i haven't felt excited in a long time! oh? ok! have fun!"
jaehyun unconsciously stared at y/n as she talked on the phone. he was taking in every single detail on her face.
from the moles under her eyes, cheeks and on her upper lips, her curled lashes, the gleam of excitement in her eyes and her lips.
god how is she so beautiful?
"sorry, my boyfriend called. i guessed he was worried...he's in the chemistry department - they're also having a get-together"
now that wasn't supposed to happen.
jaehyun felt his brain stopped working. what do you mean boyfriend? you had a boyfriend all along? jaehyun hadn't expected that you were taken. hell he didn't even know that you could break his heart in just a day - unknowingly.
"sunbae? hello?" y/n worriedly tapped on his shoulders as he was lost all over the thought of you having a boyfriend.
he's doomed
