him!

I'm currently studying abroad. And there's this guy. We were in the same class which offered an online option and first met in the zoom meeting because both of us couldn't attend it in person (for different reasons). Since there were only like four people in the zoom, we would often (almost all the time) end up in the same breakout room during discussions. We never turned our cameras on but got to talk quite a bit. Eventually, he was able to attend the in-person classes, but I stayed in the zooms for a while longer. I didn't have his contact information, just knew his name, that he was korean, and that he spoke with what sounded like an english accent. Even when I began going to the actual classroom, I had never seen him and wasn't about to ask each guy there for his name. On the very last week of class, I decided to sit up at the front on a whim. Coincidentally, the guy sitting behind me was him! I was surprised he remembered me. He invited me to go to lunch with him and two other girls in the class after the final exam.
Since then, we've kept in touch and sometimes get lunch together at the university dining hall. We kind of just sit and talk and time goes by so fast. He says he doesn't like people but he's genuinely the nicest and has been initiating all of our hang-outs by letting me know whenever he's on campus. He hates the rain but let me use the umbrella because it was too small to be shared. He calls pants trousers and soccer football. He brought me a can of this drink I told him I liked. He offered me a bite of his ice cream. He laughed when I told him I didn't want to go to grad school but then admitted he didn't want to either.
I'm so glad I was able to meet him and be his friend. I get so happy when I see I've got a message from him, or when he asks if I'm free.
I'm not really looking for advice, just needed a place to say all of this. I hope everyone reading this finds contentment.
