It was a chaotic day at the university, with students rushing to complete their registration for the new semester. Amidst the hustle and bustle, two strangers, Ore and Mine, crossed paths in a chance encounter that would mark the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Ore, a first-year student, looked a bit lost as he navigated the registration process. Mine, a returning student, noticed his confusion and approached him. “Hi, do you need some help?” she asked with a warm smile. Ore explained that he was struggling with the resident application process, and Mine kindly offered to guide him through it.
As they sat together, going over the application forms, an old lady passed by, selling sweets and chips. Mine’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “I love those sweets!” However, she realized she didn’t have any cash on her. Without hesitation, she turned to Ore and asked, “Excuse me, do you have some coins I could borrow?” Ore gladly handed over some coins, and Mine bought a pack of chewing gum, offering him a piece as well.
As they continued to chat, Mine realized she had to leave. She stood up, and as she walked away, she suddenly turned back. “Hey, can I get your number?” she asked Ore, who looked surprised but happy to oblige. As they exchanged numbers, Mine smiled and said, “I feel like we should stay in touch.” Ore smiled back, feeling a spark of connection with this kind and friendly stranger.
As they parted ways, Ore couldn’t help but wonder if their chance encounter would blossom into something more. Little did he know that this brief meeting would be the start of a beautiful friendship, one that would bring joy, laughter, and adventure into his life.
