they weren't supposed to meet. not the way they did, anyway.

two strangers, meant to meet sooner or later, both preferring the latter though neither knew who the other truly was.

"you'll meet eventually." that was what they had both been told.

how long is eventually?

"oh honey, just a few more months. once you're done with school."

but why does it have to happen?

"you know it's best for the company, darling. it's best for you."

they met on accident, rather than on purpose like was fated. rather, accidentally on purpose.

son hyejun, an above-average student, known for her fiery attitude, mild personal problems, and a complex for breaking the rules.

kim namjoon, an above-average student, known to be the in south korea's top 1%, his problem solving skills, and a complex for the greed of knowledge. about anything, everything, and everyone.

they were supposed to meet through a dinner at an expensive restaurant on a hot summer in july after their senior year to celebrate the alliance of their companies and their arranged marriage.

not only that, but of meeting each other for the first time. hearing the other's name, even.

they were supposed to meet under controlled settings, in a controlled environment, both forced to attend by controlling people.

they were not, however, supposed to meet at a party.

not just any party.

they most definitely were not supposed to meet at a party thrown by other high school kids as an after-party from homecoming.

they were not supposed to meet by immediately insulting each other.

they were not supposed to meet in an uncontrolled setting, in an uncontrolled environment, both forced to attend by the same uncontrolled mutual friend.

and they sure as hell, by any chances necessary, were not supposed to fall into the complexity of each other.

they were people, but thought of their situation as a game. 

she thought she was a problem, and he assumed she just needed solving.

their adventure just started more quickly than was expected.

as they say, time waits for no one.
