My little author - Minsung

Chapter 3 - The meeting

Minho wakes up to the loud clock beside his bed, it reads "09:30". Minho looks at the clock and freaks out, realising he only has half an hour to get to the library to return his books before he gets fined. He throws on whatever he found in his closet, a sleeveless black leather jacket, a white tank top and navy blue shorts. He grabs the books which are close to being overdue and speeds out of his room, putting on his red and white broken shoes before leaving his home.

It takes 20 minutes to get to the library from his house if he walks, if he runs he can be extra early and possibly grab a new book that he hasn't read yet. He rushes to get there before the café opens, the café is usually overcrowded after opening time and Minho feels the need to get there early every morning to collect his daily coffee without too much fuss. 

"Yes! I made it!" Minho huffs as he opens the large, heavy doors to the library. He peeks inside before openly allowing himself inside. "Hi Ms. Hwang!"

"Ah Minho! Have you got those books?" Ms. Hwang replies, she looks at what Minho has in his grasp and points it out with her eyes. "Are those the books?" She asks the boy.

"Oh- Yes, they are! I really enjoyed them, thank you for letting me borrow them!" The boy answers in full confidence. 

Minho takes a few steps forward, one foot at a time, and hands the fresh looking books over to Ms. Hwang. The books look brand new, as if they hadn't been used yet, when Minho borrowed them he promised to keep them clean and swore that if they were ruined in any way when he gave them back he wouldn't mind being fined. 

Ms. Hwang looks at the boy, then the books, and back at Minho. "Well done, they look fresh!" She smiles at the younger and grabs the new-looking books out of Minho's grasp, placing them in the returned box on her desk. "I must cross your name off again, shall I?" She smirks at the younger.

"Oh yes, please do!" Minho exclaims with excitement. He bites his lip and looks at the register on Ms. Hwang's desk, watching her cross his name off the list. 

"Would you like another book? A new one came in just yesterday!" Ms. Hwang tells the boy in pure joyfulness.

"Really? Where is it?" Minho asks in shock, he didn't know a new book was going to be sold here but surely, there was.

Ms. Hwang glances at the youngers hopeful face, " It's right here." She hands him a black book and tells him when the due date is, "February 14, Exactly two weeks!" 

Minho looks at the elder in disbelief, he didn't realise valentines day was so close! He realised that he only has a short amount of time to order the book he wanted for himself for valentines day. Minho stands in shock, knowing that the book may not arrive in time. He then realises another thing, the new book comes out on valentines day! A new book by his favourite author. He speaks in pure shock, "Thank you Ms. Hwang!", then turning around and walking away.

The elder looks at the boy and nods. She watches the younger exit the library swiftly and chuckles.

Entering the library at the same time he usually does, he sits down quietly and opens his expensive, golden shining laptop. He starts typing swiftly knowing that the book needs to be published on valentines day, or else it'll be worth nothing for the readers. Valentines day is special to Jisung, it's the day he gets to publish a new book about love. He only ever publishes books about love on valentines day, never any other time. To Jisung, publishing a love story on any day other than valentines day would be foolish of him, it wouldn't mean as much to him, his fans are always waiting for the new book to be published that day too.

Jisung looks at what he has typed, he sighs as he realises he only wrote two paragraphs in twenty minutes. He looks at the clock, and back at his laptop, he knows his fans will be upset if he doesn't publish this book on that day, he knows it.

 He reaches his arms up and grasps the air, closing his eyes in the process. He hears a loud gasp in front of him. He slowly opens his eyes, arms still in the air, and catches sight of a boy staring at him, like he was shocked.

"Hello? Why are you staring at me?" Jisung asks in confusion.

"I forgot something here and saw you, I'm a huge fan!" The boy exclaims, not taking a single breath throughout the sentence.

"Ah, a fan, I see. Do you like reading?" Jisung ponders. He notices the fan shivering nervously and smiles.

"Yes! I love reading! I want to be like you one day, a professional author! Although I am older than you..." The fan splutters out his words as if the world is ending. 

"Oh! That's really sweet, I'm not as cool as you think though, just your average Jisung-" He gets stopped in his words.

"What do you mean? You're amazing! I've never heard of anyone more talented than you, Mr. Han!" The boy feels the need to compliment him as much as possible.

"Oh. well thank you, dear fan." Jisung says, dramatically of course.

"Minho! Call me Minho, please." The boy blurts out.

Jisung looks at the nervous wreck of the elder and smiles, "Okay! Minho it is, I'll see you around." He shuts off his laptop and stands up. He starts strolling towards Minho and lets out a sigh whilst patting his head in awe, then leaving the library without a trace.

"OH MY GOD! THE Han Jisung just patted my head! Best day ever!" Minho cries out loud. But... Is this the best day of his life?
