Chapter 23

A new day had arrived finding you dancing around your room while getting ready for work. Music was blasting from your phone, your playlist having played an old song you had forgotten completely that you had. The song was old but you had downloaded it some years ago after you had heard it on a TV show playing in the background and you had liked it.

"I should definitely play this on our future sleepover." You smiled to yourself, thinking about it. The way Sira would dance jumping around from couch to couch was an image you couldn't shake.

After giving a look at your mirror and feeling satisfied with your look, making sure that everything was according to the dress code Elle had given you, you reached for your bag and your phone. You kept the music playing as you didn't want to interrupt the song, cause then it was gonna get stuck in your head most likely. Every time you had left a song unfinished that tended to happen. You would randomly find yourself singing the lyrics of it in your head no matter how much time it had passed by. It was like a curse that made you go back and listen to the songs till the end so you will have them out of your head.

Once you stepped into the living room, to your surprise you found your temporary housemate, on the couch, eating so cereal. He was dressed up and some books laid at the side of the table, near a bag which you assumed must be his.

"Oh! GoOd mOrning Y/n." Daniel greeted you with his mouth full, making himself almost choke on the spoonful he had taken rashly.

"Good morning to you too." You smiled at him, finding his reaction a bit funny.

"Davichi?" He gave you a questionable expression and you stood there for a bit till you understood that he was talking about the artist which was singing the song that was still echoing from your phone. You hurried to turn it off before giving him an awkward smile.

"Now I will be all day in my head singing ' Give me a call! Babe, babe~" He joked, singing that part a bit joyfully which had you cracking up at the fact that he did such an extra action. Your laughter however seemed to make him feel cautious soon enough, lowering his head and returning to the shy attitude you knew him off.

"I am sorry. I have to go. Have a nice day." He took his bag and his books in a hurry and turned to leave despite the fact that you tried to talk to him and clarify that you didn't laugh with any mal intentions. You weren't making fun of his singing or anything, you just had found his movements entertaining for a moment.

Ah great. He must be from the people that is a crackhead if he opens up but is too afraid of criticism to open up easily. Wait, that almost sound like me. Oh well.

You thought to yourself, smiling again as this song seemed to have bettered your mood, for no particular reason.

You stepped out of your apartment making sure to lock the door and proceeded to go to the elevator which didn't take long to reach you, making you assume that Daniel took the stairs or something. Once the door opened for you, you didn't hesitate to get inside with hopes that this would be a good day, not knowing that Daniel was waiting -hiden by the staircase- for you to get out of sight.

Once he saw the elevator going down, he hurried to return to the apartment, in which once inside, he looked the door well and hurried towards your room, having taken notice earlier that you had left the door unlocked. He was not sure if you had forgotten cause your mind was focused on the song or if you were to recall the fact anytime soon and return to lock your bedroom but this sure was his chance and he didn't plan on letting it pass him by.

Once inside your room, he looked around evidently lost as he didn't know from where to start, even though he was aware of what he was looking for. He placed his bag on the floor along with the books he was keeping among his arms and proceeded to look around any shelves he saw that could possibly contain a notebook or journal of any kind. It was difficult for him to search while being careful to not mess the positions of anything but he had managed well so far, having gone from your desk to your library to your closet, finally having reached to the commodes that were standing at the two sides of your bed.

His hands roamed around the two shelves of the commode on the right, passing over some objects which were quite personal, but he tried his best to not look at them for long. He had no intention of invading your privacy after all. What he wanted was something more invasive that your outer space. It was a ticket to knowing you better.

After finishing with that commode he rushed to the other side of the bed, opening the first shelve, and once he looked inside, he immediately knew that he had succeeded to find what he was looking for. The notebook seemed exactly as he had described it to him. Daniel took it out and decided to open it, in order to take a look and be sure that it was the one he was looking for.

'Notes of my soul' he read across the first page, written in black ink, in beautiful handwriting, then he flipped for the other, finally coming across the name he was looking for. ' To my dear Y/N. For days which will be cold and dark. I will try to leave you warmth, withing these pages. With love, Helena.'

Daniel couldn't help but grin ear to ear from happiness, his hands bringing the notebook closer to his chest where he held it safe as if it was his trophy. Then he proceeded to close the shelf and rushed to leave the room, having way more things to do for today, than just attend his lectures.

Once he made it outside the apartment, he felt a wave of relief washing over him at the fact that you had not returned to catch him in there. A smile formed on his lips as he walked casually down the corridor, till he heard the elevator halting on his floor. He rushed for the stairs next to it, just in case it was to have been you, and as he peaked at the corner he realized that he was right. 

You stepped out of the elevator in a hurry, as you were getting late for work with having to return back because of your forgetfulness.

Daniel hurried down the stairs after he saw you, in need to get himself somewhere safe and out of your sight. In no way he wanted for you to know that he had done such an action and had just stolen from you, the only thing you had left from your late best friend.

He understood that it might hold emotional values for you but he had no choice but to do as he was asked. No matter what his feelings were, he had no opening to act upon them, especially when it comes to you. The one and only Y/N. The girl he has heard about most of his life. The girl whose face he had seen more times than he had met her in his entire life.

Once he reached the parking lot, Daniel couldn't help but take a look behind him, ignoring his fast breaths that the running had caused. The empty space started calming his nerves a bit, however, he still felt the need for reassurance as well as the want to get rid of that notebook he had in his possession the quicker he could.

He took off his pocket his phone and proceeded to call his best friend, whom Daniel was hoping would come running to him, once he was to tell him.

"Jaehyun. I got the notebook you wanted." He spoke as soon as he heard his friend pick up, the information that he shared making Jaehyun stand from his bed -in which he still was in- shocked at first but it didn't take long for his joy and enthusiasm to show on his face.

"I am on my way to meet you. Look after that notebook better than you look after your life, you heard me?" He replied right before he jumped out of his bed and threw his phone on the bed. 

He rushed for his secret room, unlike any other day, entering into it lively and with a wide smile on his face. He left his eyes to roam around the many pictures of you that covered every inch of that room, soon approaching one and leaving his fingers to caress it slowly.

Soon, I will have your attention. Soon, I will be able to know and understand you in a way no one else would and maybe just maybe...after you realize that, you will love me, the way I do.
