Catching My Falling Star

Cherry Blossoms

The cold air breeze reminded Mhay of her darkest days but the cherry blossoms somehow managed to erase that short flashbacks and made her day brighter and lighter which is very much different than her old days.

She took a deep breath and smiled happily.

She was happy.

She was free.

This is the kind of feeling she was desperately hoping for when she was trapped in her misery.

It was the kind of happiness that relieved her from the burden of yesterday.

It was the kind of freedom that made her value her self more and changed her perspective towards life and towards people and this wouldn't be possible if she didn't decide to finally move on and start anew.

Winter break is finally over and classes have finally began for the new term. Mhay has always been very passionate about sharing her knowledge and so she often holds lectures in different Universities in Seoul.

It was an exciting feeling for her to go back and this time she will be having her lecture in one of the few women's university in the heart of the city.

She was a little early for her schedule so she decided to walk around the campus and enjoy the cherry blossoms that greets everyone with its beautiful colors. The pathway was field with flowers and the air breeze was just enough for her not to get so cold while walking.

Spring has always been Mhay's favorite season of the year. She always find it amazing how these beautiful flowers bloom magnificently even after enduring the coldness of winter. She even smiled sheepishly thinking she's like them, blooming after a very excruciating heart break.

She was walking along the streets enjoying the perfect scenery when her eyes caught attention of students running towards the building she was suppose to have her lecture. It was just around the corner and she could vividly see how crowded the pathway was.

All of the girls were very excited and were holding different kinds of stuffs like placards with glitters on it, lightsticks, headbands on their head with words she couldnt read and more things she don't even recognize.

It was very crowded towards the building and she could hear them shouting as if it was the happiest day of their lives. Every girl she saw was running which seemed like they were chasing someone that's already in the building.

"Hmmmm. I wonder what's happening? Do they have an activity or something?" she muttered under her breath and looked at her phone to check the time.

"Oh. Shoot." she hissed when she realized she's running late. The beauty of the sidewalks made her forget the time and now she has to push her way to the building along with those crazy girls she saw earlier.

Mhay entered the room with excitement and nervousness. This is her first lecture since her long break and she's worried she lost her touch. She made it in time although she felt like she fought warriors just to pass through the hallways because of how crowded the building was. She still wasn't able to figure out what's happening and decided it's not her concern anyway.

She stepped her way to the mini stage located in front of the lecture hall where the rostrum was located. Behind the rostrum was a huge projector that could cater the eyes of the audience sitting on their theater type seats.

It was one of the most beautiful and advanced lecture hall in the university and having herself there talking in front of the students is something she feel very privileged for.

She tested the microphone for audio and connected her laptop to the projector to let everyone see her powerpoint presentation she worked so hard the night before.

The lecture room could cater a hundred of people and her sessions is one of the most anticipated by the students which means the hall would be jam-packed.

Mhay was very busy checking her notes and her powerpoint presentation she didn't realized that the whole class is now in full attendance which is a sign for her to start the "show".

She grabbed the microphone and began what she prepared for the entire night.

It was amazing how she spoke like nothing ever happened to her. Every slide was explained exquisitely and she could see it in her eyes from where she was standing that the students were paying attention to what she was saying.

The lecture flowed smoothly until a young man suddenly opened the door from behind the theater type seats. It was difficult for her to see it clearly due to her poor eye sight but she was sure that it was a man.

He was tall for a guy his age but not too much that would make a girl hurt her neck just to look at his face. His hair was long enough to cover his forehead and served as his bangs that suited the shape of his face. He was blonde, white blonde that made his eyes pop because of it's golden brown color and his eye lashes that would make every girl envy him because of how long and curly it was. His face was obviously beautiful even though only half of it was revealed because of the facemask that he was wearing. He was wearing a white hoodie but his muscles were still evident and was obvious that he stricly maintains his figure. He was wearing blue jeans that highlights his long legs and white sneakers that went perfectly with his white hoodie. He was very simple but was very charismatic that any girl would fall for especially because he was carrying a bouquet of flowers which made him look more attractive and romantic.

He was slowly walking down the aisle and stopped in the middle and finally managed to find his voice.

"Is Diana here? " he spoke with his deep voice. It was so deep but it still had an angelic ring in it.

Everyone seemed shocked and started looking at one another wondering if there really was Diana in the class.

No one answered and the only thing that could be heard are whispers from the people in the hall asking each other.

Mhay was taken aback but she knows she had to speak up. How could someone just interrupt her lecture especially when she's already at her momentum. So she walked towards the edge of the stage close enough so she could call the attention of the handsome intruder.

The mysterious man smiled through his eyes when he noticed that everyone was very curious about his identity and motive. He slowly removed his facemask and even before Mhay could speak a word, he faced the crowd with a very huge smile and bowed.

"Hi Everyone! My name is Jong from the band S05! " he yelled and everyone went wild.
