[Jake's POV]
2 years ago...
Today, I want to visit my friend in Yonsei University, Moon Yujung, that is currently studying language. Yujung were my first female friend in Korea, though we have some sort of unexplainable history before. Yujung were pretty famous in the university because of her looks, she basically the most beautiful girl here.
From afar, I saw her walking with someone that I've definitely seen before. It was the Sun family, Kim Sunhee. What is she doing here? And what more, how does she know my Yujung?
"Hi Jake!" Yujung greet me.
"Hi." I said with a straight face. I can't let Yujung know that I know Sunhee. More than that, I can't just let her know that I once live on the same roof as her before, during the time that she get sick.
"Oh sorry. I forgot to introduce her. She is Kim Sunhee, my bestfriend. And Sunhee, this is Jake, the troublemaker." Yujung introduce us to each other.
"I know him." Sunhee said uninterested to shake my hand with me, even though I already stretch out my hand.
"That's good. Jake, don't you try to take her from me." Yujung warned. I know what I have to do, the girls are all yours, Yujung-ssi.

"What do you want to talk about?" Yujung asked, as we sit on the empty table at the library.
"I miss you." I said, jokingly.
"What a stupid guy. I am engaged to your brother." She said, knocking my head with her fist.
Yes, Yujung is my sister-in-law-to-be. The first time we met were at my house back in Australia. My brother and Yujung are engaged because of our family business. Actually, Yujung were my first love, but now I already moved on from her, since I can't let this feeling get ahead of me. My brother loves her the most, even after getting engaged because of business.
"My mother asked, when are you gonna marry my brother." I said telling her my motive of meeting her today.
"Argh, Joshua didn't let me breath even a sec." She sighed.
Suddenly I am attracted to the girl beside Yujung. She read the book about 'Human Psychology'.
"By the way, Sunhee..." I want her attention on me.
"Hm?" She raised her eyebrow, looking into my eyes.
"Are you a psychology student?" I asked.
"Nope. I am a language student. Though, I want to learn psychology on my own." She replied.
'Attractive' I mumbled to myself. My type has always been someone that love to study, by themselves, or study for their future. Seeing Sunhee is studying for both, making me think that she's really attractive.

When I came back to my dorm, I stand in front of the shelves full of physics book. I love studying physics, if I am not able to debut as an idol, I would probably studying physics in university right now.
"Jake, what are you thinking about?" My roommate, Jay noticed that I was staring at the shelves.
"Nothing. Just that, I miss my student life." I said replying to him.
He could never understand me. No one in this group, know how exactly I felt. If I say something that is intellectual, they will just listen to me blindly without knowing what am I talking about.
After seeing Sunhee today, I can see my old self in her, making me attracted to her presence. Why now? My first impression about her was weak, but seeing her studying like that, it suddenly change my perspective about her. My heart fluttered a bit, everytime I think about her.
Why do I feel like this?
•
After that incident, I've always find myself making excuses to see Yujung, while my true intention were to see her best friend, Sunhee.
I've always making excuses like 'my brother want to meet you' or 'my parents ask when are you gonna marry my brother' to meet Yujung.
Even so, she already guess that I like Sunhee, because of my behaviour around Sunhee. That's why she supports me, and always bring Sunhee with her everytime we met.
"Studying psychology again?" I said, grabbing the book in her hand.
Today was different. The genre suddenly changed? The book she read today is about 'Shamanism'. This is weird.
"Oh, it's not psychology..." I said.
"Yeah, this is my homework." She grab the book back.
"Homework?" I said interested in what she's doing.
"I need to make a thesis about this book." She explained.
"I see, you work really hard." I compliment her.
"Thank you. But I'm doing this just because I want to graduate faster." She formed a smile on her flawless face.
She really look like a goddess in this moment. She's so gorgeous, like an angel sent from heaven. That's how I should describe it.
"Can I have your number?" I said, as we already meet like more than 5 times, but we still doesn't have each other's number.
"Sure." She enter her phone number in my phone.

[Sunhee's POV]
"You like him, don't you?" Yujung said, teasing me.
Is this how it feels, falling in love with someone? I am not that interested in him, but why my heart beating like crazy after he ask for my number this afternoon? Did I loss my sanity?
"Yujung, tell me. How falling in love with someone feels like?" I ask the experienced one, in this thing called love.
"Hm..."
"At first, you will feel very confused, weird and something similar. You will find yourself denying the feeling, it's the same for all people. Me too, with Joshua, I feel those." She explained the same thing that happen to me, making me sure about this weird feelings, for Jake.

[Jake's POV]
'Jakey', that's the nickname that she called me. I never knew that my name could be so attractive, just because she call me like that.
Gosh, am I already fallen for her this hard? It's hard to imagine that someone like her can make me stay with her, for almost a month already. Even with her younger sister, I didn't actually like her for this long.

Today is the day we both go out, hanging out with each other. The place that Sunhee choose is at the beach. She told me that she want to cleanse her mind from studying, that's why she decided to go at the beach.
She wears cute pink dress with pink sandals. She also put on shades, to cover up her eyes from the sunlight.
"You look cute." I said complimenting her looks.
"Thank you. You look cool in that shirt." She replied, making me blush.
We both enjoy our time together till the sun down. We talk a lot about each other. She getting to know me, and I getting to know more about her.
She told me that she want to be a psychologist like her mother, but she was rejected from that course. But, she didn't give up, and still studying psychology by herself. She loves observing people around her, that's why she was really interested to be a psychologist.
As the times goes by, we need to go back. We both walk to my car.
"Where do you want to go after this?" I asked.
"Please drop me off at the campus. I need to submit my thesis." She show me a file that she need to submit.
We finally arrived at the campus. Before she get out of the car, I called for her.
"But, before that..." I want to tell her how I feel about her, but that just didn't come out from my mouth.
"Hm?" She tilted her head in confusion.
"Nothing." I said, frustrated with myself.
"Jakey." She called for me.
"Yeah?" I was too flustered with that nickname.
"I like you." She said before getting out of the car.
"Huh? What do you mean Sunhee?" I find myself going out of the car too, following her.
"It's exactly what you think." She said leaving me speechless.
