CHAPTER 01
「 Listening 」
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡︎♡︎♡︎ FREQUENTING THE LIBRARY was simply a way for ZOE PARK to escape the hungry eyes and judgemental mouths of her peers, there are times where it was all too much and she just wants a break from the world. And what better place to stay in other than the library where only studious geeks and quiet nerds resides? Not only was it now a safe place for her to stay in whenever the storm gets too rough, it gives her the chance to relax her mind and body, letting her focus on her academics like any other high schooler.
Her routine was the same when she was in the library, it was both fun but still relaxing enough; do her school work first before indulging herself in all the other books that has weird facts about the world or find any book filled with poems and sad stories. She'd somehow amass a total of seven large books as a minimum, then it'd turn to eleven books after spending more hours. No one would usually notice this and she was glad so.
It wasn't exactly a secret that she liked reading, there's nothing to be ashamed of in admitting that she wants to spend her time diving into worlds written in old ink on paper, but the reason why so little people knew of this was because they didn't really know her.
She could confidently say that there was only one person in her whole school that knows what she's really like — MIRA KIM.
Oh, so tiresome. She just has to be the bubbly girl in class, the one who always tries to cheer her friends up, the one who cares the most and gives her all, and the one who smiles at everyone despite them calling her a variety of disgusting names.
Oh, Zoe. Our dear Zoe. Our lovely Zoe.
Hot chocolate partnered with books in a comfortable area under a chilly weather felt absolutely perfect, accompanied with the soft music playing through her headphones and the smell of paper. It was such a peaceful moment, she could observe those around her at free will as well.
