Chapter 2
“This is actually good. Besides our school, only a few universities in the US have research programs that match your direction.“[]
“If you can’t get a direct admission recommendation, then going abroad is indeed a more suitable choice.“[]
After my advisor hung up, I started preparing application materials while battling my high fever.]
Just as he said–my research direction was very niche.[]
If I continued with direct admission to graduate school here, it wouldn’t actually help my future that much. But if I went the international route, the projects and schools I could choose from suddenly multiplied.[]
I suddenly couldn’t understand why I had been frantically working so hard at this Ivy League school filled with countless geniuses, fighting for GPA and recommendation letters.]]
Just then, my phone lit up with a notification.[]
It was from my special follow–Evren’s Instagram.[]
Evren never posted on social media. Even when he agreed to be with me, he never changed his relationship status on any platform.]
When I asked him to post something, his tone was indifferent and impatient: “Why should I make my private affairs public?“[]
I said, but that’s what all couples do.
Everyone is happy to be with their loved ones and wants people’s blessings, isn’t that nice?]
I said so much.
But Evren eventually couldn’t even be bothered to look at me: “Sonia, Professor Colton from the Philosophy department is offering a logic course next semester. I suggest you take it.“[]
I closed my mouth and stopped trying to convince him.]
The matter was dropped.[]
So what would finally be worth Evren posting on social media?]]
I opened Instagram
[Project completed. First place.]]]
The photo showed their project group at a celebration dinner.[]
Evren was casually holding his phone, his face slightly blurred.[]
He had probably been looking down at his phone and only looked up at the camera when someone called him.]
His expression was nonchalant, yet couldn’t hide that sharp, almost stern handsomeness.[]
The kind of handsome that made everyone’s eyes unconsciously gravitate toward him whenever he appeared in a crowd.]
No wonder modeling agencies had approached him in high school and middle school, offering frighteningly high signing fees.[]
My gaze shifted slightly.
Linda, Evren’s new junior colleague in the project group, was also in the group photo and quite eye–catching. She was the only one not looking at the
camera.
She sat right next to Evren, well beyond normal social distance, her eyes focused on Evren with an almost devoted gaze.]

Her affection seemed to burst through the screen.]
The few scattered comments below were all asking if Evren had gotten a girlfriend–was this his way of
Evren hadn’t replied.
The phone’s bright light grew dimmer and dimmer, until it suddenly went dark.[]
I snapped back to reality, opened my phone, removed Evren from my special follows, and blocked him.]
I also figured out the answer to the question I’d asked myself earlier.[]
Why work so desperately hard to stay for graduate school?]
Because of Evren.[]
g it?
He could easily get a recommendation for direct admission to graduate school. I also wanted to work hard to catch up with him, to walk alongside him.[]
Just like in high school, when I confessed to him along with other girls one after another. He was fed up, frowning with
say “another one, how annoying.“[]
He looked at me dismissively: “I don’t like girls who are bad at studying.[]
“If you can get into my school, I’ll consider being with you.“[]
He was a teenage genius who had already received early admission to Harvard.[]
The bar was set so high that it would make anyone who heard it back down and leave.]
But I didn’t.
I studied almost to the point of exhaustion in high school, so much that my parents had to tell me not to work so hard.[]
I couldn’t forget that first day of school when I walked up to Evren with my luggage.[]
“I’m here.“]]
“You should keep your promise now.”
He slowly looked up at me.[]
For the first time, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.]]
