Krystal was excited, very excited. It’s the first day of college and she just couldn’t wait to be the cool-campus girl she dreamt of since she’s a kid. She always imagined a cool campus girl, walked in with neat- yet fashionable clothes, with bag slung on one of her shoulder, a few books on her arm, a cellphone on one of her hand, and another hand holding a cup of Starbucks. That’s why, to complete her looks, she just needs a hot cup of coffee. So there she was, inside a Starbucks coffee shop near her campus.

                She was standing in the line, holding her phone, trying to text her best friend Sulli that she’s at Starbucks. When the line was moving, Krystal stepped forward without taking away her attention on her phone. That was when she stepped a bit too big for the space. She bumped into a man’s broad back.

                “Ouch!” Krystal yelped in pain as she rubbed her temple which bumped into the man’s back. “Sorry,” she apologized while still rubbing her temple.

                The man turned around and faced Krystal. “Oh no, it’s fine. Are you alright?” he asked. Krystal’s vision was a bit blurry so she couldn’t make out the face of the guy she bumped earlier.

                Krystal’s vision went normal and she realized that the guy she bumped was a totally cute guy, which really matches her ideal type.

                Thump. Thump.

                Krystal could feel her heart raced in excitement. She stared at the man in awe, and without realizing that she had hung wide open.

                The man coughed awkwardly as he looked around if there’s anything wrong. He then moved his hand in front of her eyes. “Hello?”

                Krystal snapped out of her dreaming state. She brushed the area around her lips, afraid if she drooled through the process of admiring this guy’s facial features. “Yeah, I’m fine,” Krystal said in a dreamy tone.

                The guy chuckled and shook his head. “You better be careful next time,” he said and Krystal nodded.

                “Uh…,” Krystal suddenly hummed. The guy looked at her as if he understands that Krystal wanted to ask something. “Do you come here often?” Krystal blurted shamelessly.

                The guy grinned, “A little. I go to the campus near here, so I come here kinda often.”

                Krystal wanted to jump happily because she found out that this cute guy goes to the same campus as she is. Just when Krystal wanted to reply, the line moved again and it’s time for the guy to order.

**

                “Sulli!” Krystal waved hyperly as soon as she saw her best friend Sulli. But then in order to complete her goal as the cool campus girl, she cleared and straight herself. She walked as cool as possible to Sulli, causing laughter to Sulli.

                “Good morning, Jinri,” Krystal flashed a charismatic smile to Sulli and Sulli smiled back.

                “Morning, Kryssie,” she giggled. “Wow, you matured a lot,” Sulli teased and Krystal pouted.

                “Don’t make fun of me being mature,” Krystal pouted and Sulli chuckled. “Hey, anyway, guess what?”

                “What?”

                “I met this really cute guy at Starbucks earlier,” Krystal sighed dreamily. “And he’s perfect! I think I have a crush on him.”

                “Oh, really? What’s his name? Which school does he go to? How does he look like? I wanna meet him!” Sulli said excitedly. Krystal already opened to answer, but she was interrupted with the familiar shadow of a guy behind them. Krystal rolled her eyes with a loud groan and Sulli looked back.

                “Good morning, ladies,” Minho flashed a dashing smile to both of them, but then he frowned. “Wait, I took back my word. Good morning, lady,” he winked at his sister, Sulli, before continuing, “and good morning…, not-so-lady.”

                Krystal rolled her eyes again in annoyance.

                “Listen, Choi Minho. I am in a very elated mood before you came, so you better dash off before I feel even worse seeing your froggy face,” Krystal said in a bored tone and Minho made a face, as if he was defended by her words.

                “Mind your words. No wonder you’re not so lady like,” Minho said and that’s it. Krystal is mad. It’s the first day of campus, and the last thing she wanna see for the day was this… creature. Krystal linked her arm with Sulli and smiled sarcastically at her best friend.

                “Sulli, let’s go somewhere that has more sunlight. I think something,” she glared at Minho, “is blocking our sunlight.”

                Sulli just silently giggled at the action of her best friend and her brother, who never get along so well.

**

                “I don’t get it. Why you and my brother are always fighting?” Sulli said in an amused tone as soon as they found their seats in their class.

                “He’s just so so soooo annoying, especially with that froggy face of his,” Krystal grumbled.

                “He’s related to me, so do I have a froggy face too?” Sulli pretended to sulk and Krystal’s eyes grew wide.

                “No no no no! You’re pretty, Sul, you’re very beautiful. That’s why I wondered how come you two are related,” Krystal clicked her tongue and Sulli laughed.

                “Fine, fine. Now tell me more about that cute guy you met,” Sulli changed the topic and Krystal’s eyes immediately lit up. Her eyes glowed as if she just saw a pile of yummy looking cakes. And so, with that, the two girls trailed off about Krystal’s new crush.

**

                Krystal woke up EXTRA early the next day because she wanted to test her fate on her new unnamed crush. She dressed up nicely and let her hair loose, with an addition of a cute hairpin that neatly pinning her long bangs. Her class was starting in 3 hours, but heck, she came early only to see if she could meet with that cute guy with a very mesmerizing smile.

                Krystal ordered her usual coffee and took a seat near the door, so she wouldn’t miss her prince charming if he came. She took a deep breathe, because somehow her heart was thumping uncontrollably. It’s like as if her heart knew that that guy would come again.

                After an hour of waiting, Krystal still had her hopes up. She usually played with her phone or texted Sulli as she waited, but she kept on waiting with high spirits.

                Another hour came and Krystal started to feel a bit down. What if he doesn’t come again today? What if she’s late? She was anxious, but she didn’t want to leave yet. She still has that slight hope that he would come in a few minutes.

                And heaven was on her side! A few minutes later, a guy wearing a red stripped shirt and dark jeans walked into the shop with a book on his hand. Krystal’s eyes immediately lighten up.

                “He’s here!” she squealed to herself, keeping it low so that no one would hear her. If anyone heard her, they would probably think Krystal is a lovesick fool. But well, he is a lovesick fool…for an unknown man he just met yesterday. She thought that ‘boy! I must be crazy!’ but she ignored her own thoughts and set her mind on how to make him realize about her presence.

                Krystal glanced at him who was still lining up. She fixed her sitting position and opened a book, so she would look like like a very diligent girl to impress him. Though her eyes were on the book, she still took a quick glance at him who was lining quietly. At the same time, she also thought about ways to get his attention.

                And the time came, when the guy walked away from the cashier, looking around to see any empty spot. When he was about to walk somewhere, Krystal immediately stood up to block his way.

                He looked at Krystal with wide eyes. Krystal looked back with wide eyes as well, but she tried to look cool and calm. After a few seconds, the guy’s eyes softened and he smiled. Krystal melted as soon as she saw him smiling.

                “Sorry, I blocked your way, didn’t I?” Krystal said sheepishly, trying to sound as innocent as she could, when in fact, she blocked his way by purpose.

                “It’s okay,” he chuckled. “We met again.”

                Krystal mentally wanted to jump from the top of Namsan tower because he actually remembered her!

                “You remember me?” Krystal shyly asked. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. The guy smiled softly and nodded.

                “Of course, you’re the girl who bumped on my back yesterday, aren’t you?”

                Krystal sighed dreamily. He has the best smile that she had ever seen in her life!

                “Well, I have a bad reputation to you now, I guess,” Krystal joked and the guy laughed merrily.

                “No, no, let’s just start over,” the guy offered his hand. “I’m Lee Taemin, second year of dancing department.”

                Krystal gladly shook his hand and smiled softly. “Krystal Jung, first year of drama department.”
