Chen Kuan-Jui

    You spot Rui from XLOV walking down the street, his presence low-key but unmistakable. Your heart pounds, and after a quick breath, you muster the courage to call out his name. He stops, turning toward you with a surprised but gentle smile.

    He nods and reaches slowly for his phone, eyes flickering with a hint of shyness as he gestures for the picture. You pull out your phone, holding it steady.

    Rui leans in slightly, careful not to crowd you, then flashes a soft smile just as you tap the shutter. The moment feels warm and real—like a quiet connection between strangers who share something special.

    He hands your phone back with a small bow of thanks, cheeks faintly pink, and you feel a rush of happiness before he gives a quick wave and continues on his way.
