0It was a quiet night in the city, with the streets illuminated by warm streetlights and the occasional glow from passing cars. James had decided to step outside for a while, wanting a little freedom away from his usual life as a K-pop idol.
As he walked along the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets, his attention was naturally drawn to his surroundings. He wasn't particularly looking for anyone, but then he noticed a girl walking nearby.
She was wearing a hijab paired with a modern streetwear outfit. Her oversized clothing, loose pants, and sneakers gave her a casual yet effortlessly stylish appearance. There was something about the way she carried herself that made her stand out from everyone else around her.
James found himself looking at her for a little longer than usual.
It wasn't simply because she was beautiful. He was intrigued by the contrast between her modest hijab and her distinctive streetwear style. She had a quiet confidence about her that caught his attention without her even realizing it.
As someone who was Christian, James was also immediately aware that she was likely Muslim. Their religious backgrounds were different, something he understood was meaningful and important. Still, at that moment, he wasn't thinking too deeply about it. He was simply curious about the stranger who had unexpectedly caught his attention during an ordinary night out.
She continued walking without noticing him, completely unaware that the disguised idol passing by had briefly become interested in her presence.
James eventually continued on his way, but the image of the girl in the streetwear outfit and hijab remained somewhere in the back of his mind.
