Finally done with her paperworks, Sora closes her MacBook and stretched her limbs. She fixed her things and returned the research books she took from one of the shelves in the city library.

It's already seven in the evening. She started doing her thesis earlier around two o'clock in the afternoon and she finished it now.

She took her bag and made her way towards the exit of the big library. She slowed down when a familiar tall man walked past her and headed to the counter to talk to the librarian.

Sora squinted her eyes. The back of the man is familiar. His figure is familiar. He is wearing Yonsei's university jacket which flicked something in her as previous incident in a certain highway appears in her mind.

She stood beside the big door while looking at the man— or more like waiting for him to turn around all the while examining his familiar figure.

Sora can recall and familiarize things easily. Jiwon and Yeojin even sometimes joke that she has photographic memory or hyperthymesia which she always debunk as she has neither of the two. She's just a normal or what they call 'ordinary' human being who can easily recall things.

Once the man turned around and faced her direction, to the exit of the library, Sora immediately had the confirmation.

Oh...

"Hi, " she greeted with a polite smile once the man gets near her.

"Hello? " His brows are furrowed with his voice laced with confusion.

"I'm not sure if you remember but I am the girl you helped in the highway incident not too long ago. "

"Oh..." Of course Riki remember it well. Besides, it's his first time to get jailed. "Yeah, I remember it. What's up? "

Sora broke into a smile. "I actually want to thank you for that, it's so nice of you to step in when people just passes by that day. " She replied, voice so soft and tender.

That is Sora. If her friends doesn't have gentleness within them, from the way they act and talk, well Sora has it. She always move gracefully and elegant, contrary to her friends. Perhaps it's because of the differences of the environment they have grown in.

"Are you busy? I'm Sora by the way. " She added, extending her available hand for a handshake.

Riki shakes his head and shakes her hand. "Riki. Nah, I am actually heading to my place. "

Sora nodded. "I see. If you don't mind, can I treat you some coffee or anything in exchange of helping me that day? "

"Oh no, you don't have to. " Riki chuckled, shaking his head.

Oh, one thing about Sora too is she doesn't want to feel indebted.

She smiled. "I actually insist. "

"Alright, if you say so. " Riki finally give in. Besides, coffee isn't that bad that night.
