it's been two hours but joohyun never let go of her phone, smiling as she keeps staring at the new number that she just saved, 'seulgi'. yeri shook her head and put the chicken back on the plate, "well, i never suggested getting her number but that work too."

"are you serious, yerim? that's how people make friends, by getting their numbers! but wow. our bae joohyun finally grown up now." sooyoung said as she lean against the wall. she was amazed, actually. joohyun never really good at making friends but when she came back earlier while shouting that she got her number, sooyoung was surprised and had to check if its true or not. yeri chuckles, nudging her with her elbow, "bae joohyun should plan their wedding now!"

upon hearing the word 'wedding', joohyun turn beet red and quickly hide her face with the pillow, "god, what's wrong with me!"

"well, you said it yourself, you're falling in love with her." the younger shrugged before eating the chicken that sooyoung bought earlier. sooyoung nod her head in agreement, "yeah. and you're blushing because you like her so much."

joohyun lift her head up, "is that what love feels?"

"god, you're hopeless." sooyoung let out a sigh before sitting down in front of her, "alright, you said you fall in love with her when you two first met, right?"

"yes." joohyun nodded and then, yeri continue, "so there's three stages of falling in love. number one, butterflies! two, build your courage to ask her out. three, ask her to marry you."

joohyun furrowed her eyebrows as she turn to the younger girl, "i don't think that's—" she was cut off by an annoyed sooyoung, "shut up, yerim. you don't even know about this kind of stuff!"

"oh sorry, my beautiful friend—"

"do not call me that."

"unlike you, i'm a master of love. i asked lot of girls out and always go on a date with them." yeri said proudly, "so joohyun, if you want this amateur to teach you about love, then you're making a wrong choice." she point at the taller girl. sooyoung scoffed as she crossing her arms, "oh yeah. i'm amateur, but at least i'm not that person who will cry everytime their dates didn't go well."

"uh guys—"

"excuse me?!" yeri gasped.

"yeah, of course, you are excused! please leave!"

joohyun let out a sigh as she cover her face with her palm, not again, she thought before grab the key and went outside. even though she's in the car now, she still can hear their voices, arguing like a damn children. meanwhile, the two of them didn't realise that joohyun already left the house and they keep on arguing,

"you know what? you're being so childish right now."

yeri shouted, "no i'm not!"

"yes you are!"

"i'm not!"

"you are!"

joohyun stood in front of the library, looking at the people that walk past her before going inside. it almost empty since people rarely come in here but joohyun likes it, the library was so quiet that she prefer living in here than her own house. she now was looking for a book she could read there but horror books were not there, much to her disappointment.

"what should i read?" she whispered to herself, looking around and stumble across the romance book that's written by her crush favourite author. just by looking at it making her heart racing. joohyun already got her number but whenever she want to ask her on a date, she chickened out. the raven-haired girl let out a sigh before taking the book, since she has nothing to read there so she had no choice. besides, if seulgi likes it, then it must be good, right?

the sound of the front door opening caught her attention as she look up to see who is it, oh her heart couldn't stop beating when she see her. kang seulgi walk inside the library with a smile on her face, greeting the owner before sitting at a table next to the window, enough sun to make her look like a goddess. joohyun gulp, she didn't expect to see her crush here but since they know each other, she can go there and talk to her, right? taking a deep breathe, joohyun approached the brunette, who's busy reading her book and clear her throat to gain her attention, "hi."

seulgi lift her head up, "joohyun? hello, i didn't expect seeing you here!" she said, little bit surprised and shock. joohyun smiled at her as she look at the chair, "can i . . . can i sit here?"

"well, of course! you don't need to ask, we're friends now!" seulgi giggles at the awkward girl in front of her and joohyun immediately sit across from her, placing the book that she got earlier on the table. seulgi raised her eyebrow, "i didn't know you read romance?"

joohyun scratched her head, nervously chuckle at her, "oh i didn't really read romance. it's just that horror book is not here and i have nothing to read so . . ."

"oh you didn't know?"

"hm, no?"

"this library is only for romance book fans. so there's no horror, just romance." seulgi let out a hearty laugh, while joohyun just sat there with her face turn deep red in embarrassment, feeling dumb now but seulgi thinks otherwise, but she's the reason why her crush laugh at her so she feel proud of herself for it. the brunette look around to make sure there's no one around and show the book that she brought from home, "we're not allowed to bring different type of genre in here but i always break the rules." she said, joohyun immediately recognise the book and that's the one she want to buy the other day.

"i tried reading horror, thanks to you. it's fun." seulgi smiled.

joohyun watched as the brunette begin reading the book and she look at the romance book that's on the table, "i also tried reading romance," she spoke, causing seulgi to look at her, "thanks to you too. it's really cool and like you said, fun."

after she said this, seulgi couldn't help but to smile at her words. they both smile at each other for a moment, letting the silence take over the library, it feels like they're the only one there. and joohyun find having crush is not that bad since the girl she's been crushing on is an angel.

-

"it's fun hanging out with you today." seulgi giggles, they exit the library after realising it almost close time but its not their fault, they just really love being around each other. but before joohyun could respond, a small drop of water fall from the sky, and it suddenly begin to rain. seulgi gasped, looking up with her hand catching the rain drops, "i forgot to bring the umbrella!"

joohyun found the umbrella, leaning against the wall and she open it, before handing the black umbrella to the brunette since seulgi need it more than her. seulgi refused, "i can just call my friend and wait inside! you don't have to—"

"i insist."

the brunette looked at the umbrella and look at her again, a smile finally replace the frown on her face as they share eye contact through the exchange. "i guess i'll see you later?" seulgi ask and joohyun smiled, "can't wait." she then walks down the stairs, running to her house with a grin.

seulgi found herself blushing as she watch the girl leave, a new feeling that she doesn't familiar with. she shook her head before walking back to her house that's not far away from the library.
