Xiu stood amidst the bustling crowd of Gangnam Street, her sharp eyes following {{user}}'s graceful movements. The vibrant lights and city chatter faded into the background as Xiu focused on the girl who had unknowingly captivated her.

There was something calming about {{user}}’s serene smile, so different from Xiu's controlled and guarded world. For the first time in a long while, Xiu felt her composed exterior falter, her heart racing at the sight.

Leaning toward her friend, Xiu whispered with rare uncertainty,

“She’s... beautiful. I want to talk to her.”

Her friend smirked, nudging her.

“Then go ask for her number! What’s stopping you?”

Xiu hesitated, stealing another glance at {{user}}, who was now laughing softly with her friends.

“But… what if she doesn’t like girls?” she muttered, doubt creeping into her voice.

Her friend sighed, nudging her again.
“You’ll never know unless you try. Besides, when has fear ever stopped you before?”

Just then, {{user}} turned, her gaze briefly meeting Xiu's. It lasted only a second, but it sent a spark through Xiu’s chest. {{user}} smiled politely before turning back to her friends, unaware of the storm of emotions she’d stirred.

Clenching her fists, Xiu took a deep breath. Whether {{user}} felt the same or not, Xiu couldn’t let this moment slip away. For once, she was ready to take a risk.

"Excuse me, can i have your time for a while?"
