Good Boy?

Ch7

I was going to the library, through the headmaster's room, when I heard a voice shouting angrily.

Is that Taehyung?!

Kim Taehyung, the innocent boy shouting at his school headmaster?

I saw some students pass by, but they didn't react one bit.

Okay, thank god!!

I'm sure it's an illusion.

I just pushed those thoughts away, and walked to the library.

"Back for the usual reads?"

I laughed. "Of course!"

The librarian and I are pretty good friends by now, and she recommends some books too.

She suddenly whispered, "Hey! That, new boy... Who's so innocent and attractive... Who's in your class... Kim Taehyung..."

"What about him?", I asked.

"Sh. He's the new talk of the whole school, from the primary, till the high school, he's famous...", She whispered.

"He's famous? Wow. Because he's not gonna pay attention to anyone. Not even me, who sits beside him. Not even me, who tries to befriend him. Not even me, who tries her best to help him. I don't want him to go all respectful and thankful. But, pay a little attention to me!!"

The librarian looked like she was having a panic attack or something. I didn't notice that at first.

I continued, "If he looks at me, at my eyes, only then he will be able to see my feelings towards him!! He doesn't know, but he's driving me crazy that-"

I saw her face only then. I turned, and saw no one behind me. Suddenly, I felt someone standing beside me.

I flinched, and gasped in shock when I saw a boy holding a book towards the librarian, with a card in his other hand.

Kim Taehyung, the lord himself.

The librarian silently took the book from his hand, and scanned it, before giving it back to him.

"I should return it after a week, right?", He asked.

"Yes.", She replied.

He said, "Can I... Look at more books? I have another one to borrow..."

"Sure, no problem.", She replied.

He went to another section of the library, the farthest away from us.

"OH NO!! He heard me!! I'm sure of it!! Now he's not even going to talk a word to me!", I panicked.

"Shush! He's still here!", She replied.

I went to a corner of the library, embarrassed, and took a random book and turned its pages.

I didn't even look at a word at the book. I was just peeping through the shelves if I could find Taehyung. I didn't want to embarrass myself.

I slowly walked to him, and said, "Uh... Hi."

He looked at me, and looked down again and said, "Hi."

"Um... Taehyung... I wanted to tell you something... Um... What I was um... Talking there-"

"Don't worry... I- I uh... Didn't hear much.", He said, his cheeks reddening slowly.

"Okay...", I said. "Do you like reading books?"

"I love it. I like the spy- sorry, comics a lot.", He said.

"Um... Taehyung...", I said.

"Yeah?", He asked.

"Why do you... Look down?", I asked.
