I'm an art student at SM University. These days I'm busy with my final assignment to gain my bachelor degree. Every morning I go to college to discuss it with my professor.

I'm used to go everywhere by train, of course for daily activity to college I always use it. Call me weirdo or what, I have a favourite spot inside the train, I always sit on the same seat every time I go to college. That seat is always empty for people might have known that I love to sit there.

However, today my favourite seat is not empty. A guy who looks like around my age sits there. I've never seen him before. He has cute large pointy ears, big round eyes, and a cute face. I bet he is very tall since his legs seem so long.

Well, since it's a public transportation, everyone can sit wherever they wants. So I decide to sit across him.

I can't stop to stare at him. I don't know whether it's because he sits on my favourite spot or because he is attractive. I try to look anywhere but him because I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable.

He leaves the train a station earlier than me. My prediction was right, he is towering people, and he is way too tall until he needs to bend a bit when he passes the gate. As soon as that seat is empty, I rush to sit there.

On the next day, he sits on my favourite seat again. Maybe he is new in this area so he doesn't know that the seat he is sitting now is my favourite. I don't want to complicate things and opt to sit across him.

Two weeks have gone and my favourite seat is somehow becoming Mister Familiar Stranger's favourite. Why I call him familiar stranger? Because we've met a lot at the train so I become familiar to him but I still don't know about him at all. I can safely say that we are indeed strangers.

I feel a little bit upset because my favourite sit is now his. But again, I think that this is a public transportation where everyone can sit anywhere they want and I don’t want to start a fight just for a stupid seat.

On the next day, Mister Familiar Stranger is not sitting on my favourite seat. He is sitting on the seat across his usual seat which I've seated for these past two weeks. Without further ado I finally sit on my favourite seat happily.

A few minutes before we reach the familiar stranger's stop, he rises from his seat and approaching me. He is really tall and he looks down to look into my eyes.

"Hi!" He greets me with a super deep voice which doesn't match his childish face. "I notice that you always sit there. Is that you're favourite seat?" He asks while pointing to the seat across us.

"Nope. That's not my favourite seat." I answer calmly.

"Then why are you always sitting on that seat? Or... Do you happen to have a crush on me?"

I feel offended with his accusation, "Excuse me, we don't even know each other."

"Wow, sorry if I offend you, dude. I'm just kidding." He puts a big smile on his face. "My name is Park Chanyeol. I've introduced myself, so now we're not strangers anymore, right?"

"My name is Doh Kyungsoo. The reason why I always stare at your direction is because you always sit on my favourite seat.

Mister Familiar Stranger's name is Park Chanyeol. Who would've known encounters on the train could lead you to find your soul mate. He is my boyfriend now. And in the next few months, we're planning to get married.
