Nice To Meet You

Our First Meeting

That morning was their first meeting. When Hera was confused about returning to her class from the teacher's room, she saw the figure of an exhausted man in the school field. As Hera walked away, the man shouted loud enough to make Hera turn towards him. The field was empty of school students. Maybe the boy ran because he was punished by the teacher. Hera rushed closer to the man's figure.

"Are you okay?" Hera said to the man as she crouched down to help him.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm fine," Baekhyun answered while trying to stand up from his position. But unfortunately, his feet can't lie like his mouth. Baekhyun felt pain in his ankle. "Ow" while looking down again.

"Can I help you? Pardon me," said Hera while holding Baekhyun's sprained right leg.

"Your foot is sprained"

"Aw, that hurts. What are you doing?" Pushed Hera's hand away.

"I'm helping. But if you don't want to get better, that's fine. I'm leaving." When he got up, Hera's left hand was held by Baekhyun.

"Help me". Hera swore she would never forget the man's gaze. (His puppy eyes are so cute, yet he is so fine)

"Hmm. Okay. But can you focus on me and..."

"Awww" Baekhyun's voice screamed when Hera helped straighten Baekhyun's sprained leg. "It hurts!!!"

"All done," he patted Baekhyun's leg lightly and Hera hurried to stand up again.

"Already?" While looking at Hera who was standing again in front of him.

"Yes. Gotta go." Hera immediately left, leaving Baekhyun still fumbling with his feet. Baekhyun saw Hera's back getting further away from him. Baekhyun felt guilty because he hadn't had time to say thank you. 

                                                                                                 ....

"Hyun, are you late again today?" Jongdae asked.

"Ahh, yes."

"Did your leg hurt?"

"Hmm, yes a little. I stumbled while running on the field."

"Eiyy, you have to be more careful. Have you been to the clinic?"

"Yes, I was helped earlier..." (Baekhyun was silent when he thought about the incident because he couldn't say thank you to the girl who helped him earlier).

"Helped by whom?" Jongdae asked Baekhyun curiously.

"No, nobody. Let's go to the canteen," Baekhyun said to Jongdae.

On the way to the canteen, Baekhyun was very busy with his thoughts. What was the name of the girl who helped him earlier? It seemed like he was seeing her for the first time. What grade is she in, there are still many other things he wants to know about that girl."Hyun, are you late again today?" Jongdae asked.

"Ahh, yes."

That afternoon, Hera couldn't stop thinking about the man she had met in the field that morning. She had a lot of questions swirling in her head. What was his name? What class was he in? She couldn't shake the memory of the puppy eyes he had given her. Unconsciously, her heart started racing as she replayed the morning's encounter in her mind.

"What's going on with you, Hera?" she mumbled to herself, trying to clear her head of thoughts about the man.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Sehun's hand clapped down on Hera's shoulder, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Oh???" Hera looked bewildered as her friend caught her lost in thought.

"No, I'm fine," she assured him.

"Let's eat!" Jongin's voice rang out from behind Hera and Sehun.

"Come on!" Sehun and Jongin grabbed Hera's hand, pulling her up as they all walked towards the canteen together.
