My Very Own Library


______________________________________________________________

In my whole life I never thought that good things would happen to me. I always believed that my life would stay miserable. Everything that I've been through. All of the pain that I had experienced made me think this way.

In all honesty I thought I would be dead by now. But I never tried to kill myself and that very reasons is because of books. I always love books,novels,and web novels. They are the very things that kept me living.

They had stuck with me when my mother was arrested and my abusive father died. When I was bullied in highschool. When I was fired from MinoSoft. And even now in my very own library.

Though he didn't do it all by himself. He did have some support from his adopted parents and from his friend Han Sooyoung. He turned and saw his very first friend Han Sooyoung sucking on a lemon candy. Then look back at the library.

The library was filled with books and it even had its own cafe. Which made the place smell like coffee and baked sweet. They had chosen to add a cafe to make more money. Also to sponsor his adopted parents' restaurant which was called the constellation eat. They library was very quiet and relaxing. It made Dokja feel at home.

It took a very long time to get where he was right now. It also took him a long time to choose a name for his library. It took him four hours to think of a name. Plus another hour of him and Han Sooyoung arguing because Han Sooyoung thought the name he chose sucked.

***

"Why would you name your library The Oldest Dream?!" Han Sooyoung said, looking at Dokja disgusted to think her friend would think of such a cringe name.

"Because I think it's cool , why do you care?" Dokja said back looking at her confused at why she didn't like the name.

"THAT'S is not cool! THAT'S cringe, don't you want people to come to your library?"

"How can you talk when you literally named one of your books SSSS-grade Infinite Regressor?!"

"MY NOVEL TITLE IS NOT CRINGE!!!" Han Sooyoung yells at Dokja even adding a few curse words to the mix.

Dokja showed a fake smile which sent a shiver down Han Sooyoung's spine.

"This is the name I want for my library, and I'm not changing it."

***

After that Han Sooyoung didn't complain about the name. She didn't even try to pull something on him. Which was very strange but Dokja brushed it off.

He looked at Han Sooyoung again and smiled.

"Thank you Han Sooyoung"

Han Sooyoung looked back at him staring into his eyes then frowned.

"It's not a big deal just don't forget to show my story's in your library"

"Of course I won't forget especially because I'm your very first reader," Dokja said, reminding the reader that he was her very first fan.

"Anyways I have to go back to my house. My next chapter isn't going to work on itself," she said, grabbing her stuff that was on the table.

"Okay talk to you later," Dokja said, showing Han Sooyoung out of the library.

After she left Dokja decided to clean the library a little bit more before opening it for people to come in. A few minutes of clean Dokja flipped over the sign that showed closed over to open.

He didn't expect anyone to come since it was his first day opening the library. So he sat at the front desk of the cafe and opened a book to read.

A few minutes passed and to his surprise people started to come in.

A few people ask him questions. While others bought coffee and muffins from him. Then they sat and read a few stories.

This made Dokja very happy. To see people reading stories in his library. He kind of felt like he could cry. The time passed surprisingly quickly and he had closed up his library.

After locking up and leaving his library. He had Started to get hungry. He had a few dollars on him so he decided to stop by a covenant store to get a snack. He didn't feel like cooking and he was too hungry.

When he got there, there weren't a lot of people. Only one tall man wearing a black coat and a mask. Dokja thought it was a weird choice of clothing. But then his stomach grumbled and he chose to brush it off.

He walked to the aisle where all the bento could be found. He grabbed one then walked forward.

Not looking where he was going he bumped into someone and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" Dokja yells while falling on his butt.

Dokja looked up and saw the same man with the black coat and mask. He was going to say sorry until the man spoke.

"Watch where you're going" the man spoke with a very deep voice

Dokja looked at the man for a few minutes and started to get angry.

"Watch where I'M going, you should watch where you're going!"

The man glared at Dokja very intensely. Making Dokja feel his cold stared. Then he walked past Dokja, not looking back.

What a jerk Dokja thought. He got off from the ground still mad and walked up to the cashier to pay for the bento and left.

Still angry, he walked home. He didn't want to keep thinking of the encounter he had with the man. So he took his phone out and read while eating his bento.

After he finished the bento he put the box in the sink. Then he took a bath and went to sleep. But for some reason he couldn't get the guy out of his head. He couldn't forget about the guy's cold eyes. He took his phone out again and continued to read.

He thought maybe if he read it would make him forget about that rude man.
