"do you believe in love at first sight?"

"love at what?"

"first sight."

jaemin raised his brows, thinking about how random her question is until his eyes fell on the hardbound book titled love at first sight on her hand. "what's that?"

nari gasped unconsciously loud, causing the other students in the library to look at them, "you don't know what love at first sight means?"

he only looked at the girl who has been bothering him since he accepted the chewing gum offered to him. doesn't she have any classes? why is she bothering me? he asked himself. he soon shook his head in defeat when he realized that their staring contest won't end unless he'll answer her question. not like he wanted it to end though.

nari, however, looked disappointed as she proceeded to give him a lecture about love at first sight that she has read from the book she was holding. "love at first sight means you have already developed romantic attraction towards someone at your first encounter with them-"

he raised his brows again as he cut her off, "and you believe in this? have you experienced it?"

contrary to what it seems, nari actually find it absurd, "no, i haven't. and who falls in love that fast?"

before even jaemin could utter a word, nari's phone that was on the table vibrated, signalling a call from renjun. her eyes widened, realizing the fact that she spent time in the library more than she should and now, she's late for her physics class. she hurriedly picked up her papers on the table as she smiled at jaemin before she fished out chewing gums from her pocket and placed it on the table, muttering a see you next time, jaemin-ssi.

his eyes lingered on her lips for a while, admiring her smile. it is the same smile that she wore when he visited the orphanage for the first time. the smile that turned into a frown because he mocked her love for strawberries. the smile that he hopes one day, he'll be the cause of it.

that damn smile.

who falls in love that fast? he suddenly recalled nari's question before she left.

jaemin shrugged off the thoughts on his head as he picked up his pencil to go back studying his notes. the lead was about to touch the paper when the image of the young girl he saw once in the orphanage and the image of the college girl she was talking to earlier flashed on his mind.

he bit his lip, supressing a smile, "i do."
