WHO SHOULD BE MY LOVER ?

EPISODE 1 - DREAM

The smell of fresh coffee wrapped around Aurora as she sat in her favorite corner of the small café, her notebook open, pen moving in neat strokes. It was just another quiet morning — the kind she preferred. She was the type of girl who could easily blend into the background, unnoticed by most, though her fashion sense often made people’s eyes linger for a moment longer than they intended.

She paused mid-sentence, glancing up when a couple walked in. They settled at a table by the window, leaning close, whispering and laughing as if the rest of the world didn’t exist. The boy brushed a strand of hair from the girl’s face, and she smiled in that soft, safe way that said you’re the one.

Aurora’s chest ached — not from jealousy, but from longing. She wanted that. Someone who looked at her like that. Someone she could write endless poems about, not just imagine in the pages of her notebook.

She took a slow sip of her coffee, her gaze drifting back to her paper. Her pen moved slower now, tracing thoughts of a caring boyfriend, stolen glances, and warm hands intertwined with hers. The scene in her head became so vivid, it felt almost real.

Her eyelids grew heavy. The café sounds blurred. And before she knew it… she had dozed off.

A phone buzz broke through her haze. Mia’s name flashed on the screen. Aurora stirred, blinking at the sunlight streaming through the café window.

“Hello?” she said groggily.

“Aurora! Good morning! Today is the day to move to your dormitory as a freshman,” Mia said brightly. “Are you ready?”

Aurora’s brow furrowed. “Dormitory? I… I don’t understand…”

Before she could process more, she noticed movement around her. A small crowd had gathered, holding notebooks and phones.

“Aurora! Your autograph, please!”

“Miss Aurora, just a signature!”

Aurora froze, confused and overwhelmed. Her face burned. What… what’s happening?

“I… I think you’ve got the wrong person,” she stammered, standing quickly. “I… I just fell asleep for a few minutes.”

Her heels clicked as she ran out of the café. The driver, waiting nearby, opened the door.

“Miss, shall we go?”

Aurora slid inside, her heart racing. She still couldn’t understand what was happening — the sudden attention, the whispers, the crowd. She wrapped her arms around herself, feeling uneasy in the unexpected spotlight.

The car started moving, the city blurring past. Aurora’s thoughts whirled, still processing. Why is everyone looking at me? What did I do?

When the car finally arrived at a massive villa, Aurora froze. A grand house, sprawling with a backyard pool and sunlit gardens — her dream home.

She stepped inside, blinking at the grandeur. Mia appeared with a warm smile.

“Where have you been all this time? Don’t you know you have to go back to your dormitory?” Mia asked, a little exasperated.

Aurora’s eyes widened. “Who… who are you? And whose house is this?”

Mia froze for a moment, then laughed lightly, shaking her head. “Aurora, are you okay? I’m Mia — your manager. Looks like being famous has made you a little dumb. Can’t recognize your own house?”

Aurora’s lips parted in shock. “I… I’m famous? My house?”

Mia nodded, smiling patiently. “Yes, it’s your house. You are a famous writer and fashion influencer. Did you forget? What happened to you? You just went to the café for inspiration for your new book and… became a little stupid. Anyway, get ready, we’ll be late.”

Aurora blinked, then let out a small laugh, shaking her head as if brushing off the comment. Okay, maybe I am a little stupid, she thought, smiling to herself. But whatever — this is my dream. Let’s enjoy it.

Mia helped her pick an outfit: a cream blouse with gold buttons, high-waisted black trousers, and glossy heels. A quick touch of makeup later, Aurora looked… the same, yet different. She looked like someone who belonged in the spotlight.

Mia glanced at her watch. “Your driver’s here.”

Aurora took a slow breath. This is my dream. I can be confident. I can be seen.

She straightened her shoulders. “Alright,” she whispered to herself. “Time to live it.”

Her heels clicked against the floor as she walked out, sliding into the sleek car waiting outside. The door shut behind her, and the world outside her window began to move.
