    I was standing outside the college gate, lost in my daydreams. I was imagining myself in a pink and peach hanbok, walking down the aisle with a handsome man. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even realize that people were rushing past me.

    Suddenly, a deep yet soft voice interrupted my daydream. "Sorry, may I please pass?" the voice asked. I turned around and was met with the most striking sight.

    A man stood before me, his long black hair covering one of his golden yellow eyes. His pink lips shone in the sunlight, making him look like a descendant of the sun. He was wearing a light blue chima jeogori, reminding me of the noble men of the Joseon dynasty.

    "Oh, sorry!" I quickly stepped aside, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. I watched him as he walked away, feeling my heartbeat quicken. He was the most beautiful person I had ever seen.

    The next few days were a whirlwind. Classes, assignments, and making new friends took up most of my time. But my thoughts always wandered back to the handsome stranger.

    One day, while studying in the library, I felt someone's gaze on me. I looked up to find the same pair of golden-yellow eyes staring at me. It was him.

    "May I sit here?" he asked, pointing to the empty chair across me. I nodded, unable to form words. He sat down, his eyes never leaving mine. A feeling of warmth washed over me.

    We started spending more time together, studying in the library, walking on the campus, and even sharing meals. His name was Jihoon, and he was studying fine arts.

    Over time, we became inseparable. Jihoon was not just handsome, but also kind, gentle, and understanding. I could not help but fall in love with him.

    One evening, as we were watching the sunset, Jihoon turned to me. His golden-yellow eyes were glowing in the fading light. He took my hands in his and looked into my eyes.

    On the day of our graduation, Jihoon got down on one knee. With tears in his eyes, he asked me to marry him. I said yes, my heart overflowing with happiness.
