A sigh left the girl's lips as she walked out of her last class for the day.

It has been a week since the purple heather tattoo appeared on her neck. Some students bugged her and continuously asked her about it when she forgot to cover it on the next day.

Their reactions made the freshman uncomfortable as she didn't want to get known for just someone who has admiration for a specific person. She only gave them awkward smiles and chuckles in response as she escaped from them.

It was weird for Ayeon when she tried to think of her feelings, she felt unsure. How could she possibly admire someone who she has barely seen and communicated with.

Her steps were tiny as she was still deep in thought.

Looking ahead, seeing a familiar person heading her way, another sigh left Ayeon's lips. "Now I'm even seeing him as if he's really there," she started, whispering to herself. "Do I even miss him that much?"

Her footsteps suddenly halted as she groaned, shutting her eyes at the thought. "I can't believe I'm even imagining him." Annoyance laced in her voice.

"Who are you imagining?" A low honey voice spoke, breaking her from her train of thoughts and rants.

"Ah!" She yelped in surprise. The young girl froze. Her heartbeat jumped, eyes wide in shock and her breathing hitched. "A-are you real?" Ayeon whispered, leaning in and questioning the young man in front of her as she poked his cheek softly.

"Oh, I've been, darling. I've been real for the past 19 years of my life." The young man uttered in a low voice, looking at her eyes through his long lashes which sent chills all over her body.

To that, Ayeon's heart fluttered. She could only hope that the boy in front of her wouldn't notice it.
