One dreary and drizzling October day, Jun and Iris met in the basement of Meyerson Hall, where they exchanged brief introductions. Jun, who had an amateur's interest in mathematics, was not only intrigued by Iris' work in topology, but also by the bright, young woman who spoke about it so passionately. A few conversations later, they discovered that that they shared a common interest in classical music. Manufacturing 'chance encounters' proved more difficult than Jun had expected, but when the opportunity arose, he asked Iris to a concert. His heart sung when she said 'Yes'. On Dec 7, 2013, they had their first date: coffee/tea at Elixir Coffee, a program of Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique and the Brahms First Piano Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and dessert at Max Brenner. They began dating a few months later <3
