Chapter 3 The first feeling from a distant person.

A week after Vibha and Yu Chen started talking,

The resulting familiarity, via text messages and phone lines, led the couple to decide to date for the first time.

The appointment place is a famous shopping mall in the area of the hotel.

Even just an ordinary meeting.

But for Viva

Her heart has been pounding since stepping out of the house.

...

When it came to the appointment point in front of McDonald's,

Viva saw a man standing not far away.

He was wearing a polo shirt. Clean light green.

Standing with her back

Just see that back plate.

The girl's heart began to beat tellingly.

She stopped standing looking for a moment.

Before gathering the courage, walk closer.

That second.

Yoo Chen turned around.

The eyes of both people gathered for the first time.

Time around is like a standstill.

Viva looked at the young man's face in front of him.

And he looked at her the same way.

A smile gradually appeared on Yu Chen's face.

Is a warm and sincere smile.

Until immediately weakened Vibha's heart

"Hello..."

He said with a shy smile.

Before hurriedly walking straight to her

And put out your hand.

But instead of holding hands, say hello as usual.

Yoo Chen held her hand tight.

As if afraid of losing again

Viva was a little shocked.

The face is getting hot.

She can't act right at all.

But so strange.

She didn't think to pull her hand back.

And accidentally held his hand, answering as well.

As if natural.

That should have happened a long time ago.

...

Even both speak different languages.

But Yoo Chen was fully trying to communicate with her.

He picked up the phone, opened Google Translate.

Type everything you want to say.

And send it to her.

Some sentences translated out so strange that they both laughed.

Sometimes use sign language to guess.

But no matter how hard it is to communicate,

He never showed the slightest annoyance.

Viva saw that intention.

And more and more impressed by him.

...

After talking for a while,

Vibha then asked

"What do you want to eat?"

Yoo Chen thought for a moment.

Before smiling and answering through the translation program

That he misses hometown food.

Because having to work in Samut Prakan for a period of time

Vipa then took him to a hot pot hunting dog shop.

Food that should help loosen up homesickness

The couple walked, picking raw materials together.

Pick up the same tray

As if knowing what the other person likes

I just met for the first time.

There was no strange feeling left.

There's only comfort.

And the smile that happened throughout the meal.

...

After eating,

The two of them strolled inside the mall together.

Stop by to see clothes

Stop by the bookstore.

Stop taking pictures at different angles.

And keep talking.

The pair's hands are still holding each other all the time.

No one released first.

As if each person doesn't want the other to disappear anywhere

The atmosphere was so warm that Viva couldn't think

She's like walking with a lover.

Known for years.

In fact,

They only met for the first time.

...

When the sun starts to sharpen the horizon,

Happy times come to an end.

The couple had to disperse back home.

Vibha stood looking at Yu Chen.

And Yoo Chen stood and looked at her, too.

No one wants to say goodbye.

Because they all know

Once separated

Probably miss the other person more than you think

"Come home and tell me."

A message from the translation program appeared on Yu Chen's screen.

Viva smiled and nodded.

Even an ordinary sentence.

But instead, it warms her heart strangely.

...

That evening,

Two people who used to be strangers.

Instead, they felt deeply connected.

As if known for a long time

And from that day on,

The word "miss"

It's starting to mean more to both of them. 😊
