BXBX NOVEL Chapter 265 Someone Who Can Help Them
Zhen-Zhen joined Sophia in their favorite spot. Sophia looked like she was in deep thoughts, thinking about something. She didn\'t notice that Zhen-Zhen was already in front of her.
Her mind was very occupied by troubling thoughts. She didn\'t know if she could do it, facing Marcus and spending time with him for a friendly date this coming Saturday.
Sophia snapped out of her train of thoughts when she felt Zhen-Zhen sit beside her.
"Oh Lillie, you are here. I\'m sorry, I didn\'t notice you right away," Sophia apologized, smiling sheepishly at her.
"Hello, Sunbae, are you okay? You seem like you are bothered by something. Care to share it with me?" Zhen-Zhen softly asked Sophia.
Sophia exhaled deeply before lowering her gaze. She felt a little bit embarrassed but since the person next to her was Lillie, she would share her thoughts with her.
"I have this guy who I like. But we are on a different level. He is like the sky while I am the ground." Sophia said, pointing her forefingers at the sky and the ground to show Zhen-Zhen the big difference between them.
"See, there\'s a huge gap between me and him," Sophia was smiling but there was a hint of sadness reflected in her eyes.
Zhen-Zhen just remained silent, listening attentively to Sophia.
"I am just watching him from afar while admiring him secretly. Deep inside I want to know him more and get closer to him. But since I am a loner and introvert, I didn\'t know how to do it." Sophia took another deep breath after saying that.
"Besides, I know I am not the type of woman he will like. I am just a plain, boring, nerdy girl. I can\'t compete with those pretty ladies who are lining up for him. I am just a nobody. I couldn\'t stand a chance."
"Sunbae, you are wrong. You are beautiful in your own way. Don\'t say that." This time Zhen-Zhen spoke up to console Sophia.
Sophia let out a soft giggle after hearing that. Zhen-Zhen was wearing a serious expression the moment she said those words.
"Alright. I believe you."
"My sis, Sophia is beautiful and smart. She\'s the best!" Zhen-Zhen insisted with so much conviction.
Sophia giggled once again.
"So what\'s your problem, Sunbae?" Zhen-Zhen asked her again.
"The guy I like is Marcus. He is Jade\'s elder brother. Since I was helping them in our Mathematics Subject, she talked to her brother, telling me that she would introduce me to him."
"Her brother agreed. She set us on a friendly date this coming Saturday. I don\'t know if I should accept it or not. Lillie, I am not confident to face him. I am really nervous right now." Sophia paused for a moment, sighing deeply again.
"But part of me wants to see him and even talk to him. He will graduate this year. After that, I might never see him again. I doubt if he could still remember the first time we met each other."
"This might be the last time I will have this chance but I am hesitating because of our different status and personality. What if I will just disappoint him after meeting. I might even embarrass myself in front of him." Sophia was telling her all her concerns about this meet-up.
"I don\'t know how I will act in front of him."
Zhen-Zhen smiled at Sophia, tapping her shoulder.
"Sunbae, just be yourself."
"*Sigh*. But I don\'t know if he will like the real me." Sophia said, feeling dejected.
"You will never know if you will not try," Zhen-Zhen stated matter-of-factly.
Sophia was taken aback after hearing that.
After a while, something crossed Zhen-Zhen\'s mind that might help Sophia in these troubling thoughts.
"I\'m sorry, Sunbae. I\'m not good in this kind of situation either, but I know someone who can help us," Zhen-Zhen said to Sophia with excitement.
Sophia looked at her in confusion. "Who?"
"My man… We can ask him for his advice. Come with me after class. Let\'s meet Tristan. I will introduce you to him then ask him for tips about what you can do during your date." Zhen-Zhen suggested to her.
Sophia just glanced at her for several seconds. She was quiet. She didn\'t know what to say. She could see the enthusiasm in Lillie\'s eyes. She was really determined to help her.
"So, are you saying that I should agree with this meet-up?" Sophia asked Zhen-Zhen inquisitively.
But instead of answering her, Zhen-Zhen threw her a question. "What is your heart\'s desire, Sunbae? Do you wanna spend time with him and know him more before he graduates here?"
After contemplating, Sophia answered her. "Yes, I do."
Zhen-Zhen\'s lips stretched out into a bright smile after hearing Sophia\'s response.
"Then you should accept it, Sunbae. Don\'t worry… I will do my best to help you conquer your fears in facing Marcus."
Sophia could only nod and smile because of Zhen-Zhen\'s action. She really appreciated her help. She was even willing to introduce her to her boyfriend.
Thinking about that, Sophia was also curious about the man with whom Lillie fell in love with. She was interested to meet that lucky guy. Sophia was thinking that whoever that guy was… he was lucky enough to have Lillie as his woman.
"So Sunbae, what time will your class end this afternoon? Mine will end at 3:00 pm." Zhen-Zhen asked her.
"Hmm, I only have one class this afternoon, so probably I will be free by 2:00 pm," Sophia responded to her.
"Will you be okay, waiting for me for another hour?"
Sophia bobbed her head with a smile. "Yeah, I don\'t mind. Besides, I should feel grateful to you, for helping me with this."
"No need to mention it. We are friends, remember?"
The two ladies giggled upon meeting each other\'s gaze. Lillie was right. The two of them were friends so it\'s natural to help each other.
After they agreed on what time and when they would meet after class, Zhen-Zhen messaged Tristan, asking him if he could fetch them after class. Of course, Tristan agreed instantly. It was a request from his wife, he had to fulfill it no matter what.
