Joshua's P.O.V.

  "Wow... Time flies really fast, doesn't it?", she said while inhaling the salty smell by the Han River.

  "Yeah, it does," I agreed. A thought came to my mind. "Do you remember how we met at church?"

  She laughed in surprise.

  "Why so sudden, Josh?" she turned around to face me. I shrugged, a smile growing on my face.

~~~

  I was sitting on a stool, practising a song that I really liked. The sound from the guitar strings echoed through the lonely building. My body naturally reacted to the music that came from the instrument, and soon enough, I find myself singing the lyrics.

  I was so immersed in the song, I didn't even notice a person walk in. The sudden applause made me jump and turn, thinking it was some bad...thing. But it wasn't, it was a young woman. A beautiful one. She smiled at my reaction to her.

  "That was a good, um, performance," she said, somewhat awkwardly. 

  "Oh, thanks. It was-it was nothing," I cleared my throat, trying not to look shy in front of her.

~~~

 "Of course. I even remembered the lessons you gave me," she said wistfully.

  I chuckled. "I was, and still am, very devastated about the bent you made on my guitar. It costed more than a fortune!"

  "I said I was sorry..," she faked a sad expression. It made my heart go soft, I wrapped my arms around her from behind and she gasped. 

  "And I forgave you. It can be a good symbol of our first meeting," I winked at her, making her smile widely.

  She leaned in to peck my lips. She backed away, but I pulled her back before kissing her deeply...

~~~

  "I've always wanted to know how to play the guitar, but I can't since the fees are too pricey," Ella smiled sadly. Silence fell upon us, I racked my brain trying to figure out a solution to her problem. 

  Ding.

  "I can teach you. You don't have to worry about the money, it's all free," she looked at me with eyes laced with hope yet doubt. And I'm determined to get rid of the doubt."You come here every Sunday, right?"

  "Yeah, I come here every Sunday.. But I'm not sure about you teaching me for free, I'll feel guilty for doing that," she says, unsure.

  "Don't feel bad, it's nothing," I reassured her, and it worked. "So, yes or no?"

  She thought for awhile.

  "I'll consider about it. I'll let you know before Saturday," she finally said. "Is that okay?"

  "That'll be great!" I said enthusiastically. She grinned and stood up to leave. Suddenly, she stopped and turned back, making me look at her. 

  "I almost forgot! I'll need you number," she noted. I mentally slapped myself.

  "Right! Here," we exchanged phones before typing in our numbers and switching back again. 

  After that, we said goodbye and I watched her back as it grew smaller and smaller. Somehow I knew, that was the beginning of our story.

How was it? I can't believe I finished my first oneshot!! I have a classmate who's also called Joshua, so writing this is kinda awkward since our relationship isn't that good with each other. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and pls request for more! Thanks for reading!
