Thinking Of You ‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹

(Alysa Liu x Fem Reader) College AU

Summary: You and Alysa had officially ended your relationship due to busy scheduling, reader is focusing on school while Alysa is focused with figure skating, you both see each other again but Alysa doesn't seem to get over you.

December 5, 2025 12:23 a.m.

You were in your dorm with notes and papers scattered all over your desk. You fell your head onto the table from exhaustion, you've been avoiding your friends, family, and even your girlfriend Alysa due to the stress you had been having for the past week. Especially with Alysa, every time you wanted to spend quality time with her she cancels at the last minute due to her coaches saying they "need" her for the day with her figure skating.

You heard a notification go off coming from your phone that is facing down to prevent you from getting distracted. You hesitated but proceeded to take your phone.

lys | 12:25 a.m.

haiiiii

Are you busy?

if not, can we call

hello?

Read

You looked at the message wanting to text her back but you knew you needed to focus on your studies. Then, you placed your phone down and continued studying.

1:37 a.m

While you were typing away on your computer you heard a knock on your door.

"Who's here at 1 am?" You thought to yourself.

You opened the door to see your girlfriend, Alysa, with her sweatpants, rad dad shirt, looking like she's ready for bed. You gave her a confused look until she let herself in your room.

"Why haven't you been texting me back?" She said in a serious tone.

You avoided eye contact and didn't say a word. Alysa was at loss on your behavior.

"So..?" Alysa spoke louder than her previous tone.

You sighed, "I haven't been contacting you back because I've been so busy with school, with tests, exams, assignments, and projects. It's been really difficult for me." You finally spoke.

Alysa took a few seconds to take in your reasoning, "You could've at least talked to me about this. You didn't have to ignore me for a week because you were so busy with school, you should've texted me once and I would've understood and honestly I could've helped you so we could spend time with each other"

As soon as you heard those last few words you instantly spoke back, "Every time I talk to you that if we can spend time together, you always tell me that you have to cancel five minutes before we go because you were told you need to go skating."

Alysa was baffled from your response.

"I'm sorry that I was 'too busy' for you. Have you seen what I've been experiencing for these last few months since I got back into skating? It's been so hectic that it's hard for me to talk to you. Especially being brought into the Olympics, it's been difficult for me also to maintain my life with skating." Alysa stated.

You took a deep breath, "Well if we don't have enough time for each other I think we should take a break.." you said softly.

Alysa's face drops, "What..?" she mutters.

"Yeah, I think we both don't have time for each other anymore. At best we should end things." you started with no emotion.

"Is that what you really want?" Alysa said, starting to tear up.

Alysa starts to quickly try to reason with you, "We can still work things out. I can call my coaches and cancel on the-"

You cut her off. "Just go. In the end it's never gonna work out. You're gonna move on and go to the Olympics and show people what you're made for. "

Alysa exits herself out of your dorm slowly, she looks at you one last time while you went back to your desk to continue studying and closed the door. She took a second outside your door processing that she was broken up by the most important person she’s ever had.

3 months goes by...

Alysa finished the olympics, coming back home with her two gold medals. She was happy about herself that she was able to achieve this accomplishment, she loved all the audience rooting for her. She saw her friends and family in the audience but she was specifically looking for someone, hopefully you in the audience being her biggest supporter.

On the way back home, Alysa's friends invited her to a party dedicated to her being an olympic champion. She arrived at the party, she saw the environment being filled with red cups, dimmed lights, loud music, and crowds of college students. All of her friends came up to Alysa, congratulating her, and hyping her up. She enjoyed all of the love and support from her friends and classmates. Then, she decided to get a drink and walked to the kitchen, she was sipping onto the punch that she poured to her cup until a girl approached her.

"Hi!" she said excitedly.

"Hello." Alysa said politely.

"I noticed you on TV and recognized we are in the same classes together."

"Oh really?" Alysa questioned.

"Yeah, I sit like 2 rows behind you." She laughed nervously.

"Ohh that's right, I knew you looked familiar." Alysa smiled at her.

The girl giggled, "I've always wanted to get to know you since the start of the year but never really had the courage to do so."

"We can definitely get to know each other!" Alysa happily said.

"Great! My name is Lotus by the way."

Ever since the party, Alysa and Lotus have been spending a lot of time together including being very flirty with each other. Alysa started to feel happy again knowing she has someone by her side. Until she sees you again.

May 15, 2026

At the end of the school year, students started to congratulate themselves by hosting a big party. Alysa and Lotus were walking together to the house where the party was being hosted at. Alysa and Lotus sat next together on the couch, where Lotus is talking to her friends while Alysa was just there quietly. Alysa decided that she wanted to go grab a quick drink.

"Hey Lotus, I'm gonna go grab a drink real quick. Do you want anything?" Alysa questioned.

"Hmmm, may I just have some water please?" Lotus answered back.

"Okay, be right back." Alysa said, giving Lotus a kiss on the cheek before heading out to the backyard where the beverages were.

Alysa heads to the table and gets her drink along with Lotus’ water. Alysa took a quick sip on her drink and had a look around before heading back inside. She was observing the crowd until she saw you. She hasn't seen and thought about you in months, seeing you brought back those butterflies in her stomach that you used to make her feel when she first saw you. You were wearing jeans, a tank top, with your favorite leather jacket. Alysa knew that was your favorite jacket because she was there when you first got it.

*flashback

You and Alysa were at the thrift store. You were desperate to find a vintage brown leather jacket, the two of you were skimming through the racks of every jacket in the jacket section.

After a while, Alysa found the jacket. She showed you and you screamed in excitement, hugging her and kissing her while Alysa laughed. You gave her all the affection you could give her, proving that you were so thankful that she found what you wanted.

*end of flashback

Alysa was staring at you. You were talking to some of your friends with a drink in your hand, you were smiling and laughing. You looked happy. You then turned and saw Alysa, your reaction fell a little bit. You both stare into each other's eyes for a while until Lotus comes up to Alysa.

"Hey! What took you so long? Come on, Adelina is asking us to play a game with her." Lotus said while intertwining their hands together and wrapping her arm around Alysa's arm with Lotus' head resting on Alysa as they went inside the house.

Alysa gave one last look to you and saw that you were still staring with a sad reaction on your face. Alysa felt guilty, she felt like she was cheating on you even though you're together anymore.

After the party, Alysa and Lotus were cuddling with each other on Alysa's bed. Lotus was on her phone watching tiktoks while Alysa was staring up at the ceiling thinking about you. She kept replaying the image of your face, she felt that it was all her fault.

Lotus looked up at her worried face. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a lot on my mind right now." Alysa replied.

"I can make it up to you." Lotus said confidently.

"What do you mean?" She questioned.

Lotus positioned herself on top of Alysa kissing her.

Alysa was surprised from the sudden move but fell into the kiss. They started making out, Lotus started to put her around Alysa leading into something more. Alysa instantly had the thought of your face again and quickly removed herself from Lotus.

Lotus was startled from Alysa. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me." Alysa placed the palms of her hands onto her face.

Lotus saw the behavior on Alysa and just adjusted herself back into her arms and didn't say a word.

"It's okay, you don't have to tell me anything. I understand." Lotus said.

"Thank you." Alysa responded.

Time passes and Lotus is fast asleep in Alysa's arms. She looks at Lotus and starts thinking about you if you were the one in her arms spending the night with her. Alysa started to silently sob at the thought of you knowing that you both won't get back together again.

The Right Person at the Wrong Time - A Reflection on Timing and Connection

All our lives, we have heard stories that involve the right person turning up at the wrong time. This concept is jarringly alarming because it layer-peels the facade of finding the right individual in regard to love, connection, or relationship. This indicates, if explained better, that two people fitting for each other might fail to emerge when the various elements of life are against their coming together.

What does it even mean to meet the right person at the wrong time?

The Complexity in Timing

Timing is an invisible force that shapes the connections we make, often in ways of which we are barely aware. You might meet your dream person, that person who checks all the boxes or sees the world through a filter instituted by your soul. But with you not being emotionally available, probably still recovering from injuries of the past, or perhaps in the middle of some personal crisis, such connection might just not blossom. On the other hand, it could be them who is dealing with troubles at this stage, which means they cannot also be fully present.

This is extra challenging because, by nature of things, there is tension between what we feel and what reality presents. There is almost something tragic in the beauty of having found someone incredible but at the wrong time. You're forced, then, to think that love and connection are about more than logical matches, but two lives crossing at a certain point where access and readiness are aligned.

The 'What If' Paradox

That is the question that will haunt when the right person shows up at the wrong time: What if things were different? It's such a haunting thought, and then you are left to wonder how, in some other world, maybe it would have worked between the two of you. You have a vision of how this might have been the case with another chapter of your life. You could run yourself into sleepless nights with 'what ifs' and yearn for something that may never be resolved.

But harboring such questions in one's mind forever would render living in the present light of day an impossibility. It is very human to reflect on the paths not taken, but living in the country of 'what ifs' blinds you to the new opportunities staring you in the face.

Growth, Timing, and Readiness

It might be that meeting the right person at the wrong time sometimes serves a great purpose. Sometimes such experiences will teach us more about ourselves, or perhaps are a reflection of where we need to grow or what we need to let go of to be truly ready for a meaningful connection in the future. Other times, the person you meet is but a mirror reflecting the work yet to be done on yourself.

That person may remind you that deep love is deserved by you, even if at the time that is not fated to be with them. They may provide a catalyzing agent that impels you to align your life through means that serve to better prepare you in the future for a relationship be it with them or someone else.

Embracing Imperfection

One of the most painful things we may learn is that imperfection meets us around every corner in life, and love is no different. Yes, even when we think we have found that person who fits every category on our ostensibly perfect list, it's not as if the universe necessarily plays a role in ensuring that all that lines up. That's just part of the mystery—and frustration—of being human.

But perhaps, other than cruel fate, that is the profound message: love is not about everything working out perfectly. It means the understanding that connections, no matter the depth, sometimes do not come out with fairy tales. It is about embracing the will-o'-the-wisps, beautiful moments for what they are and not necessarily needing them to last.

Moving Forward with Ease

So, what happens when you are in this situation? There isn't some simple answer to this proposition, nor is a one-size-fits-all solution for anything. Some can hold onto the hope that one day, in the future, the timing shall be right and the stars align. While others let go, realizing that even while a connection was powerful, yet it simply wasn't meant to be a permanent fixture in our lives.

Both are correct. The key is to move with elegance. Life, with all the moments of its unpredictability, is a journey that's really full of twists and turns. That person at the wrong time could have been one chapter in your story, but it need not define the whole narrative. Every experience in life adds to your growth, even the bittersweet ones.

Ultimately, the concept of meeting the right person at the wrong time invites us to consider what love, timing, and self-awareness are all about. It reminds us that not everything is about chemistry but about being prepared—about two people meeting at the crossroads of their journeys in life, ready to take that step together. And sometimes, such journeys are meant to meet only briefly, leaving an indelible mark but no permanent union. In those moments, we can only respectfully acknowledge the bond for what it was and know that each interaction—every human contact—is a part of our development and continues to shape us into who we are and who we will become.

If you choose to love me then do so completely without fear, without hesitation but instead with full devotion and honesty. Make me your world because I promise you, you're already mine.
