CHAPTER ONE
Y/n is a college student, she was in her senior year of her bachelors degree, she wasn't a great student neither she wasn't the worst, she likes to go out a lot, sometimes forgetting her responsibilities as a student, but somehow made it by with little to no effort, the third semester of her fourth year was about to begin, her college life had flash by without any major complications.
The last few days of her summer vacation were upon her, which meant it was time to make sure that the last classes that she needed for graduation were in her curriculum.
Monday morning she woke up as the daylight began to make itself welcomed in her room, she had forgotten to close the curtains last night.
- ughhh, do you have to be so bright?, tone it down a little bit just a little bit.
She joked while sitting on her bed, hair everywhere, she use both hands to try to tame it a little bit, so she could see, throwing her legs off the bed the cold floor gave her goosebumps, waking her up a little bit.
- aish (crap) the floor is cold, where are my slippers?
She cursed bending over so look under her bed.
- there you are.
She said pulling them out quickly stuffing her feet in them.
- much better.
Dragging her worn out body she walked in the bathroom.
- goodness I look like death.
She grabbed the brush to fix her hair after that tied it up with a hair clip, before getting busy to wash her face.
Once her morning routine was done, clothes was the next task.
- I don't want to leave my house, I don't want to get dress, I hate wearing all these things, I don't know how girls wear all these things all the time, and let's not even talk about makeup, ughh.
She complained while looking for an outfit, something not too complicate it, a pair of ripped jeans, a racer back tank top and a jean jacket.
- let's pack our bag.
She placed her iPad, a bag with the charging cables, her phone charger, her wallet.
- perfect, let's get going I want to get out of there as soon as I can.
She said reaching for her jacket, her back and the phone making the way to the kitchen for some well needed coffee.
- what would I give to be able to stay in my bed.
She walked to the kitchen to make some iced coffee.
After making her coffee she sat down to enjoy it before heading out.
- I'm not ready for this last semester, I know is going to be brutal.
She thought, noticing the coffee cup was empty once more she walked to the sink filling it up with water.
- I'll wash it when I get back
Grabbing her belongings y/n finally walked out the door.
- now the subway fiasco, I can't stand going in the subway in rush hour, is a main ham.
By the time she made it to campus she was sweating buckets, being so close to the other riders inside the cart.
- I wonder if this is a premonition of what semester is going to be like.
She walked up the hill until she reached the main building, as she dragged her steps towards the library to enroll in the classes she needed hopefully, a guy was coming out of the library, looking at his phone, and so was she causing the two too almost crash into each other, luckily he looked up just in time to stop.
- watch it.
He said making her look up as well, she turned to the side getting out of the way.
Her eyes had been blessed today with his looks, this man that she didn't even know had made her day better without even knowing it.
- sorry I wasn't paying attention.
He said with a wink and a bow before he kept walking.
- is ok, me neither so don't worry.
He flashed her the most beautiful smile.
- merciful Jesus, you heard my whining and sent him to make this raggedy looking campus prettier, thank you, thank you, thank you!
She kept talking to herself as she walked in the library.
- now let's focus, forget about handsome boy for a briefing moment so you can get this done right, graduation depends on it.
Park Seonghwa was a new professor in campus, he had only been there two years, it was the university he had graduated from, luckily before graduation, one of his professors spoke with the rector of the university so he would hire Seonghwa, since they were short staff and Seonghwa was one of his best students, he knew that he would be a good professor, his good feelings about Seonghwa didn't lead him wrong.
- I need to pay more attention where I'm going before I crash into one of the students.
Seonghwa was only 26 years old, didn't really have been involved in a romantic relationship that was serious enough to make him think about marriage, he had been too involved with his studies, also with academic clubs because he is a geek without any shame.
- well my work is done so I guess I'll be leaving, because this handsome guy is hungry and thirsty.
He joked to himself making his way out of campus, since he had already taken care of his errands.
He made it to his vehicle taking off as fast as he could because he had a lunch date with the only beautiful that makes his heart beat fast.
He made it to Mapo where his date was waiting for him.
- goodness I'm late, the traffic, she is going to choke me.
He found a parking spot finally, got out and ran to the restaurant.
- I'm here jeez
He walked in the restaurant trying to find his date, he looked and looked finally spotting her in a table in a corner by the window.
- Seonghwa, you finally made it.
- sorry I'm late mom, traffic from campus to here was crazy.
- is ok son, you made it.
She said hugging him as he bent to hug her as well.
- Hwa you look so skinny, are you even eating properly son?
- yes mom I do, I also workout a lot.
- I have to come to your place and feed you son.
- mom, I eat a lot I assure you that I'm not starving like you think.
- I believe you, come let's eat, order whatever you like.
- no mom let's order something we both like.
He said while smiling at his mother.
They ordered food finally, then they talked while waiting.
- how is work son?
- busy, I only got few more days before the craziness begins again.
- have you found a friend yet?
- no mom I haven't, I'm too busy too worry about girlfriends.
- aigoo (oh my goodness) my son.
- I'm sorry mom but I don't think I want kids, I don't even know if I want to date with how busy my life is whenever work starts.
- no kids, no dating, how will you be happy then?
- mom I'm happy, I don't need to be in a relationship to be happy, that's being considerate mom, sometimes I leave my place at 8 in the morning and don't make it back until 7 or 8.
- well but whoever you date will have to understand.
- mom that's not right, to date someone just to leave them in a house alone, they should understand just because society says so.
- here you go.
The lady said placing the food on the table.
- thank you for the food.
- enjoy.
The woman said before walking away.
- well son, whatever you want to do I'll support you.
- thank you mom, that's all I need from you, you don't have to worry about me, you raised me right so I'm going to do what's right for me.
- I know son, I'm so proud of you.
- thank you mom.
After they finish he paid for the food, then he offered to take her back to the house but she refused since they were going separate ways, he walked with her to the subway station, waited with her until she got in the train, after that he went to a coffee shop to buy an iced americano, then walked back to his car.
- let's get home, to do some working out, my mother stuffed me like a fried squid.
He made his way home through the traffic one more time.
