A Danger To Be Safe In

CHAPTER 16

"BEING HUMAN"

*COUGH* PIERRO sways his hands to be rid of the dust and dirt that flew around the air the moment he moves a few books trying to reorganize one of the shelves.

Lisa comes into the library room with her nose wrinkled as she leaned her head back and also swaying her hands to be rid of any small debris.

"Ugh, we should clean here more often." Lisa said in disgust while rubbing her fingers on the shelves to see black, grey and brown colors of dust on it.

Pierro nodded as he held a stack of books wrapped in ribbons into the room, Lisa quickly ran to him to take it from him. Since it was too heavy, he no longer bothered to protest and easily gave the books to her.

"Jennie doesn't use the library much these days, we should actually..." he added and then placed by his hands on his lower back and slowly bent his back until a cracking sound was heard making him let out a deep sigh.

Lisa brought the stacks of books onto the table beside the window, after that she looked around and felt mesmerized to actually see the library in full view.

Indeed it was her first but she knew about the library's existence for very long now, she'd bring Jennie a tray for her tea break whenever she was doing a bloody load of work but would only leave it on the table beside the door so she never really got inside until now.

The library in Jennie's house wasn't your typical library that was huge and had multiple floors and a never ending amount of bookshelves. Hers was more fit to be called a home library, ceiling height that was the same as every other recreational and personal room in the house, had the usual tall bookshelves that housed books that came from generations of Kims and books that were used by Jennie that were either informational books and novels, and tables paired with chairs that had table lamps on them for reading convenience.

Pierro stretched his whole body before taking a few deep breaths and slapped his arms together making Lisa jump and turn her attention to the older male who was looking rather delighted for some reason.

"Alright let's start! I'll dust the shelves and tables first, why don't you go arrange the books, Lisa? Go and take a look around while you're at it, you might see a book that interests you." He said with a smile that reached his eyes and unexpectedly showed his dimples that Lisa rarely saw. Before Lisa could protest, Pierro had already grabbed the duster and cleaning fabric, humming a tune showing how he really wanted to do it.

Lisa scoffed and sighed in defeat, she shook her head and chuckled before turning back to the books and pulling off the ribbons that kept then intact.

She slowly took them off one by one, Jennie had ordered 10 books so Lisa literally just covered the entire table with them.

Lisa turned around and narrowed her eyes while she scanned the room, looking for empty spaces where she'd be able to fit all 10 books.

"Pierro? Should i just put all these books in the empty shelves?" She called out, Pierro who was on the other side of the library shouted "no" in response.

"See what genre they're in! Jennie'll be mad if the books are unorganized!" Pierro added.

Lisa shouted back an "okay" and turned around to check out the genre of the books laid out.
