Hello and welcome to this story. 

The above song is called  "Magic Shop"  by BTS. 

"Days when you hate that you're you, days when you want to disappear, 

let's make a door in your heart. Open the door and this place will be waiting for you.

 It's okay to believe, it'll comfort you, 

this Magic Shop ."

Areum was at the university library, completing her assignments. As a student of architecture, she rarely had free time- all of it was spent in catching up with lost sleep or talking to her mother. 

As she was going over some problems, the chair right beside hers was suddenly moved for someone to sit. She did not look up since she knew who it was. 

Kim Namjoon.

President of the Student Council for the past two years, ever since they started university as freshers.

They knew each other, as Areum was a Class Representative herself, but they did not talk since the need never arose. But a few months ago- Areum does not remember how many- Kim Namjoon suddenly showed up and sat beside her in the library. He just sat there while Areum's whole being was shook. She still continued with her work, trying not to piss off the Student body president unintentionally. 

Kim Namjoon was one among the group of the most popular boys. There were seven of them, however, only four went to the university while the rest of them were still in highschool- the adjoining building. They were popular for all sorts of reasons-except nice and kind. Good looks, lots of talent, brains- you say it, they had it. But, they were also the stereotypical 'bad boys' and bullied people, as the rumors went. They were siblings-not all by blood, if their full names were any indication.

People tended to stay away from them in order to have a peaceful high school and university life. Either that, or they tried to get closer to them thanks to their wealth, looks and popularity- a foolish move on their part- but were rejected.

Areum was among the people that stayed away. That was until that one seemingly peaceful day when she had her first one-on-one interaction with Kim Namjoon.

a few months ago

Areum was in her regular seat at the library. It was a small two or three people circular table that sat in a corner near the window. The giant windows were covered in mosaics and allowed a well-lit atmosphere. She found natural light much more pleasing than the harsh white of the ceiling lights. The library was silent but busy. Exams were fast approaching. 

Suddenly, the silence deepened. The everpresent quiet whispers disappeared, without the librarian hushing her lungs out.

This change did not go unnoticed by Areum, who then followed the line of vision of the people sitting in the aisles. 

There he stood, in all his cold glory. Kim Namjoon. Everyone that was looking at him turned away immediately with one sweeping glare from his dragon-like sharp eyes. He then proceeded to look for the right place to sit which much to Areum's stupefaction turned out to be her corner. 

She tried to hurriedly gather her stuff and leave the seat, as she had seen many do for the Bangtan, but stopped when a deep low voice mumbled, "Wait. Sit where you were."
