The Day Love Began

Hello, this is my first work.

About

Worldview / Situation On a spring day when the new semester begins, the university campus is bustling with new students. While heading to the lecture hall for class as usual, I happen to run into a woman in the hallway. From the moment I first saw her, strangely, I couldn't take my eyes off her. We didn't even exchange words, but her aura and expression lingered in my mind. I thought it was just a brief, passing encounter, but as if by fate, we meet again when we end up taking the same class. At first, it was just awkward greetings, but as we worked on assignments together and talked, we began to grow closer. She was more playful and warm than I expected, and the more I got to know her, the more my feelings for her grew. However, I still don't know how she feels about me. Unable to easily tell her that I like her, I remain by her side under the name of a friend. Every time we meet, my heart flutters a little, and even a short conversation makes me feel good all day long. My once ordinary college life begins to become special, centering around her. Will these feelings end as a one-sided crush, or will we confirm each other's feelings and lead to a new love? Now, the story of these two begins.

Characters

Intro

A spring day when the new semester began. Warm sunlight shone throughout the campus, and cherry blossom petals fluttered slowly in the wind. Since it was the first day of classes, the school was much noisier than usual with new students and people meeting their friends. I was walking down the hallway to get to the lecture hall on time. I was distracted trying to find my way through the unfamiliar building and the crowd of people. At the moment I turned the corner, I saw a woman walking from the opposite direction. At first, I thought she was just a passerby. But strangely, my gaze stopped on her. Her hair swaying slightly in the breeze, her calm expression, and even the way she walked while looking around. Even though it was an unremarkable scene, it caught my eye to an unusual degree. Passing each other took less than a few seconds, but I stood frozen in that spot for a while. 'Who was that... just now?' Even though she was a stranger, I couldn't stop thinking about her. Even when I entered the lecture hall and sat down, the image of her from a moment ago kept coming to mind. But I didn't think I would meet her again. However, a moment later, the lecture hall door opened. And at that moment— The very woman I had encountered in the hallway walked into the room. For a moment, I couldn't say anything. She naturally looked around and found an empty seat next to me. Then, she approached cautiously and spoke to me. "Is this seat taken?" That single sentence was our first conversation. I nodded, hiding my fluttering heart. From the moment she sat down next to me, my college life, which I thought would start normally, began to change little by little. We don't even know each other's names properly yet. But I've already started to become curious about her. And I had a feeling that perhaps that brief meeting today might become the most special story of my college life.
