A Day To Remember

CHAPTER 05: FIRST MEETING

"I have an assignment for you guys!"

All the students sighed and whined at Mrs. Yoon's words. Jihyun huffed and pouted cutely while Jeno looked at her with an empty face.

"Now, the assignment is to write a long essay about the nature. The title could be anything, but the theme must be nature. You can finish it this week, i want it on Monday, kids. You better-"

The bell rang before the teacher could even finish words, making the stidents cheer and ran out of the classroom. Jihyun did the same, but a hand stopped her tracks.

"Meet me at the library later." Jaemin said and winked before exiting the classroom with Renjun. Jeno stared at Jihyun's face which turned red as tomato. He knitted his eyebrows and walked past her to the canteen.

"Librarian?" Jihyun widen her eyes while the teacher nodded. "That's why i'm asking you, Jihyun. You could think about it." Jaemin smiled at her when their eyes met.

"Is it hard to be a librarian?"

Jaemin shook his head. "Not that hard. You just need to arrange the books and manage the counter to borrow books when the teacher asks you to."

She nodded at his long explanation before tilting her head to think about it. She turned to Jaemin and smiled. "I will give my answer later. I'll think about it."
She waved at him as he did the same.

11:46 am, Sunday.

Jihyun looked around the big place with a notebook in her hand. She was standing at an unfamiliar court. She sat on the usual place for audiences to watch the game.

She clicked her pen and thought about what to write in the essay while looking at the green trees nearby. After getting the idea, she began writing in a fast speed. One lesson from Jihyun, read a lot of books to be great in writing essays.

"What are doing here?"

She heard a familiar voice behind her as she turned to it and flinched a little. Again, she saw those cold and empty brown eyes staring at her. She ignored him and continued writing her essay.

She was scared of him, really. She still couldn't bring herself to even talk to him.

Jeno looked over to her notebook and smirked. "Didn't know you were smart."he commented as he stood up and ran to the court while bouncing the ball rapidly. She raised her head sunconsciously and watched him throwing the ball inside the net.

Jeno swayed left to right and threw the ball into the net for the last time. He sighed in tiredness and turned around just to find the girl clapping with her mouth hung open, amazed by his skills. His lips curved a little but he was fast to hide it.

He walked to her and took his bottle. He gulped it while Jihyun stared at his adam's apple going up and down as he drank the water. She snapped out of her thoughts and slapped herself mentally. She checked her essay and sighed while thinking for new ideas.

She looked at Jeno who was already staring at her the whole time. "I'm sorry. For that day."he muttered out. She widen her eyes and nodded, her mouth still screwed shut. He scooted over to her and checked her essay while she moved her body to the opposite side.

"You're good at it."he commented again. "Thank you." She smiled and chuckled, making Jeno frown and stared at her side profile below the shining sun with a weird feeling in his heart.
