Our First Met

Their First Sight

"Bbeeep...Beep..." Her alarm clock rang loudly next to Ji Hyo's bed. With an eye closed, she switched the alarm off. As she sat on her bed, her palm pressed hard on her forehead. It ached for no reason. She couldn't remember much about the day when she was involved in the accident. Her only memory about it was the car flashed brightly ahead of her. Keeping herself calm, she taken a few deep breathe till the pain was gone.

Slowly, she stretched herself. "Another nightmare to face with." She grunted. With her depleted energy, she crawled out from her bed and wash herself.

As she taken a bath, she stood out from the washroom. Where her body was wrapped with only a towel around. While searching for a formal clothes to put on, she stare on her right. "Right... I'm on so called my long vacation."

She stopped herself from searching her working clothes when she realized about the conversation with her manager back then. She let out a deep sigh and laid lazily on her bed. She wished that she's still in the office, working till she lose her focus.

There was a few art collections where she hung since she moved in. She bought it to lighten up her room. But the silliest thing she ever did was she bought without knowing the artist who create these portrait. Simple, but it attracts her. Each of it, was marked a signature with a capital 'G'.

"I wonder what does the identical 'G' stands for..." That was the only question that kept played in her mind about the painter. Since she had no plan to settle for today, she put on some comfortable outfit. She kept her housekey in her pocket and left her house, headed to her most favorite cafeteria.

"Americano, take away right, Ji Hyo-ssi?" The cashier asked her when it was Ji Hyo's turn to make an order. Ji Hyo was the permanent visitor ever since she moved out from her old house. "That will be 3,500 KRW." Ji Hyo gave according to the price and waited for her drinks.

"Keep the change." That's what Ji Hyo tried of helping the barista of earning some tips. She stood patiently at the side of the counter table. She gazed around the cafeteria, something seemed different compared to the last visit. She couldn't recall what was it, but she just had the feeling that something changed.

"Did you see the guy sitting next to the counter? That guy is so cute.." Teenager Number 1 whispered to her friend sat next to her.

"Tell me about it. Have you check on his drawing? That was marvelous. I wanted to buy his collection, but they aren't for sale. What a shame. I could just used his drawing to get a good marks." Student Number 2 answered with a blush shown on her cheek.

"Girl's gossip.." Ji Hyo only laughed at herself of eavesdropping the teenager's conversation.

"Your Americano, Ji Hyo-ssi." The cashier told her while handed a cup of drinks to her. While she was about to leave the cafeteria, a buff man ran onto Ji Hyo hurriedly. He accidentally knocked on Ji Hyo and left the cafeteria without checking on her condition.

She lose her balance and fell behind. Where she was there, sat on a guy who wasn't focusing on his surroundings. He was busy sketching on his book. He looked at her with a frown, unexpected that someone sat on his lap.

It felt like the time stopped ticking for her, glancing at the man who she just sat on him. For the first time she ever felt, her heart skips a beat. Her cheeks flush too.

All eyes were staring at them both, unexpected to watch the scene. Her Americano went slipped from her grip and poured on his sketch book. Her eyes turned on the wet sketch book, nervously.

"Shit!!! I'm so sorry about that." She removed the empty cup from the table and dabbed the remaining liquid from the sketch book.

"It's alright.." He said calmly, still with a smile on him.
