I didn't expect that my long years being a single will end up with me, falling in love for a married woman. This wasn't on my bucket list.

"Hi Jun!"

"H-Hello."

Back when I was in college, I was really popular in our school; thanks to my good-looks. Yet despite of having lot of attention, being the center of attraction was very troublesome because the young version of me was shy, quiet, awkward and a geek. But those didn't stop from receiving love letters or date requests.

One day, a girl student approached me and to my surprise, she asked me to get up from my seat.

"Excuse me," she said. "Can I have your seat, Mr. Gentleman?"

Women tend to ask me things like: 'Can I sit beside you?' So when I heard her plead, I was loss at words.

"Oh s-sure," I responded then leave my seat per her request.

"Thank you."

While walking away to find another place to perch on, I realized that calling me 'Gentleman' was her way to make things sound better than saying: 'Move away and get lost.' So I couldn't help but to laugh at my dumbness while perching down on the other side. "She got me, lol," I chuckled then searched her again only to find that she's already napping.

As days passed by, I always spotted her at the same seat. If someone sat there before her, she'll ask: "Can I have your seat, Gentleman/ Pretty/ Cool Dude/ Princess" depending on the person's gender whether she/he is a male, female, lesbian or gay. Then I just figured out that she chose that place 'coz it was a blind spot for our professor.
