Past-Kim

Sophia continued with her studies without having a relationship with any man because of what Joe did to her. It came to a time when she was in year 3 that a guy in her department refused to let her be. She is sending away any man that comes her way.

Kim refused to be intimidated by the way Sophia turned him down and made a mockery of him. He even asks Sophia to just be his friend, but Sophia refuses, even though she likes Kim's personality, because she wants to be careful so that what happened before will not repeat itself. So

Sophia continued to avoid Kim. Any time she bumped into him, and he wanted to have a word with her, she would quickly give the excuse of having something to do urgently.

Sophia decided to think of him as a friend.So they continue their friendship, and before a few weeks, they are already into each other. They go to class together, do assignments together, go to fellowship together. Anybody who sees them begins to admire them, saying they could make a great couple. After two months of friendship, Kim decided to take their friendship to another level. So she asked her if they could go to the restaurant close to their faculty after class. Sophia objected at first, but after a lot of persuasion, she accepted to go.

So after class, they went to the restaurant, and Kim ordered food for both of them. Sophia was shy and didn't want to eat initially, but she accepted eating. As they were eating, Kim turned his attention to Sophia.

"I, I love you, Sophia. My intentions are true. Though you might have been in the wrong relationship, I'm different from them all," he said, rushing words out of his mouth.

Sophia rolled her eyes because she knew this day would come, and she had concluded in her mind that Kim was different from Joe in that, despite coming from a wealthy family, he would humble himself to be a friend to her because her parents were poor.But she didn't want to give a direct answer, so she coughed, and Kim quickly gave her water to drink.

Sorry, I've said anything wrong, and if you are not yet ready, I will wait. Kim said nervously.

Sophia replied calmly, avoiding eye contact with him. "No, I'm just scared. I know I want to fall into the same pit."

"I will not disappoint," he said quietly as he took her hand in his.

Sophia just shakes her head, still facing down. Now she is happy and it was already written all over her face that she loves him.

Both of them ate quietly, and they prepared to leave for their different hostels.

On their way, Kim decided to start a conversation as he observed that Sophia suddenly became shy of him.

Have you done your assignment? Or should we go and do it before going to the hostel? "

"I have not done it. Alright, let go," she replied, still calm.

Kim quickly collected her ice cream and ran towards their class. Sophia burst into laughter as she ran after him. As a result, they both come back to life.After they were done with their assignments, they went to their different hostels.

Kim was the happiest person that day. He was just smiling up and down when his roommates noticed him and asked why he was so happy. No one knows? It baffles them. They shook their heads and ignored him.

Sophia was also happy. This is her second relationship, and she hopes it will bring results. The thought of being rejected by Kim's parents because of their status in society crossed her mind, but she waved it because she didn't want to spoil her happy mood.

It's semester break. She went home to meet her parents. Kim has already bought her some things that she will take home. He has been helping her financially with in-school expenses.

Sophia's mother was very happy. She quickly rushed out to welcome her daughter. She gave her daughter a questioning look when she saw a lot of items her daughter bought for herself and herself.

Sofia, where do you get all these things? We hardly sent enough money to you for your upkeep. How come you can buy all these things? " Her mother said as both of them sat on the chair.

Is Kim the guy I told you about that bought them? I even rejected them at first, but he insisted. He even said he would come here before we resume, and I too will visit his parents, "she said happily.

Okay, but I want you to be careful. I don't want you to fall victim again," she said, looking concerned.

"No problem, mum," Sophia's mother replied, rolling her eyes, "you will see him yourself and if you don't like him, let me know."

Okay, my daughter. She said as she stood up to assist her daughter.

They came after cooking, and they chatted for some time before they went to sleep.

Kim called Sophia later to greet her and inform her that he would come to her place the following week.

On the day Kim was to come, Sophia and her mother cleaned the house, arranged their small sitting room, and kept waiting for Kim.

By 2 pm, Kim arrived with a lot of souvenir. He brought one of his dad's cars. He got out of the car and called Sophia because he was sure of the exact house. Sophia rushed out and cited him from afar. She rushed there and hugged him happily. They both entered the car and halted at the front of Sophia's house. They both stepped out of the car and packed the souvenir inside.

"Hello there, do you have cold drinks?" A husky voice said.

Sophia was jotted out of her thoughts and quickly stood up to sell drinks to the customer. She checked her time; it was still an hour to her date time with Wilson, so he went back to his sewing hurriedly to finish up before going on the date.
