01. The Encounter
Be.YOU.tifulMeeting you was a fate,
Becoming your friend was a choice,
But falling in love with you was beyond my control.
“Jaehwan!” The brown-haired male looked up from his phone. He smiled at the sight of his best friend. “Daniel!”
They both hugged each other(Daniel taking the advantage of crushing Jaehwan’s body because of how much he ‘missed’ his best friend) and Jaehwan patted his back roughly. “N-Not so tight!”
The taller of the two broke the hug, grinning widely. “Oh. Sorry, hehe.”
“Wow, Niel-ah. You look so much handsome! Since when did you work out, huh? Woah, are those body made up of rock?” Jaehwan touched Daniel’s muscles and he surprised of how much this friend of his got to have time to do some workout.
“Nah, I just ran and went to the gym, as always.” Daniel smiled sheepishly. He smiled like that only when he’s nervous. And Jaehwan doesn’t know why he was nervous.

They decided to walk around the university in order to get used to the surroundings and buildings.
Before they leave the registration counter, the one who guard the counter said to them, ‘The orientation will begin tomorrow. So, you guys are free for today. Don’t forget to bring all the important things for tomorrow! Enjoy and welcome to Hawon University!’
“You know what else they said?” Jaehwan shrugged. “What?”
Daniel rolled his eyes. I knew he paid no attention just now. Urghh. “The orientation will be conducted by the 2nd year students, our seniors above us.”
“Oh. Okay. So, is there a problem?”
Jaehwan was being dumb again. Daniel grunted. “Jaehwannn, you know that Seongwoo hyung is a student here, right?”
