Ten Years Later.

Taipei wakes slowly under a hazy sunrise, the golden light catching on the glassy curves of Taipei 101, which rises like a quiet guardian over the city. In the early hours, the streets are calm, lined with scooters and street vendors setting up for the morning rush. The smell of soy milk, scallion pancakes, and sweet baked buns wafts from small breakfast shops tucked between high-rise apartments.

Chou Tzuyu who hurriedly ran out of her driver's car with the excuse of I wanna meet my friends first. She has her uniform smooth and crisp on her, hair put down like a waterfall and the expensive perfume illuminated her body. That's enough to know that Tzuyu is someone from the richer family in the city. As the day begins, the city hums to life. The MRT trains glide in and out of stations with machine-like precision, carrying a sea of commuters-students with backpacks, office workers in crisp clothes, and elderly couples reading newspapers. The sidewalks buzz with footsteps, conversations in Mandarin and Taiwanese, and the soft ding of YouBikes locking into place.

As she went through deeper into her path, she saw a glimpse of her friend; Shuhua with her bag pulled tied on her shoulder and a box of milk between her hand. They immediately jumped to hug each other once Tzuyu set her feet on the space.

"Omg Tzuyu!! You look so glow and ready for our first day of uni!" Tzuyu giggled loudly feeling the fresh air washed through her hair.

"I can't wait to experience new things, Korean Literature here I come!!" Tzuyu showed her fist in the air.

"The institute is so big, lord it was like a whole town itself." Shuhua told Tzuyu excitedly.

***

There bustle of new students filled the hallway of the campus including Tzuyu and Shuhua who walked excitedly trying to find their class, hands linked together with Tzuyu reading the map off her phone and Shuhua guides the way. Every classrooms has its own visual and coolness, light brown curtains matched the color of white walls.

"Here it is." Tzuyu mumbled softly, the excitement cool off leaving an adrenaline rushing through her veins.

"Let's sit beside each other."

The minutes passed like a blowing wind, every students had filled all the empty seats. The light dimmed with soft haze from the open windows. Tzuyu dropped her pen and set her eyes on door, soft sounds of heels clinking against the polish floor.

Tzuyu lost her breathe once she set her eyes on the white creamy low heels and the..smooth milky white legs..dark blue pencil skirt that seems to suck onto those ethereal curl..white sleeve blouse tucked into the skirt than comes the ultimate part.

Those calm angelic beautiful face that had Tzuyu almost choked on the air, the vanilla scent emitted from the woman's body told Tzuyu immediately that the woman's an omega. Her heart rate up when the woman smiled softly showing off her red lips.

'Goodness.'

Tzuyu almost lost her legs and fell off the chair melting.

"Good morning, class."

Those soft voice and that slow walk. Tzuyu had a hard time prying her eyes off.

Her head was daze as she missed to greet the woman back like everyone else.

"I will be responsible for course KE101 that focus of listening and speaking, my name is Kim Dahyun. Any questions to ask before we begin the syllabus?"

Dahyun looked at the students softly, her hands dropped off the books softly. Tzuyu watched her every moves like a camera.

"How old are you, teacher?"

"I'm 30 years old this year, I'm quit old." Dahyun giggled softly, it felt like a music to Tzuyu's ears.

"Are you single, teacher?"

"No, I got someone." Dahyun's air began to shift which Tzuyu noticed. She coughed softly before turning her attention back to the introduction.

But Tzuyu felt like her world is not the same anymore, her shoulders turned low and she keeps watching.

Maybe Tzuyu is about to break the rule, and she kinda likes it.

"Can we not doing this right now? You sound so dramatic!"

"Me? dramatic? You let that girl touched your shoulder like she own you, Sana!"

"So what? I''m old now, Dahyun. I don't want any of this school drama like you were in your immature phase."

Silence filled the room.
