"Get up lady, don't you think it's the time for you to go home?"
"Just 10 minutes, Ms. Ahn" I said as I tried to skim through the pages of the fourth chapter of the second book for the day.
"Dig your nose a little deeper and it will get flat."
"So funny, Ms. Ahn" I said as I rolled my eyes.
Ms. Ahn has been the librarian of Seoul high for 7 years already, so is the duration of my relationship with her - my escapism fairy.
Yes, books have been my source of escapism from this chaotic world since God knows when.
I still remember the day when Ms. Ahn came to this school as an intern, her round face with big round glasses, fringes on either side of her face, adding to her 'young girl' look. I am occasionally called 'the future Ms. Ahn' for my resemblance to her facial features and not to mention, my spectacles.
It is not a surprise that we bonded quite well over the years.
"10 minutes over. Library closing in..."
This is the time.
"Three"
Book closed.
"Two"

"Shit" was all I could say as I lay down with a pile of books on top of me.
"Mess and nothing else. Clean this up, young lady." Ms. Ahn said with rolled eyes as she tried to pick me up, her brown strands of hair cupping her face like the first day with just a difference that she looked mature now.
I had accidentally kept my foot on one of the brooms and fell straight onto the bookshelf before me.
"Sorry Ms. Ahn"
... was all I could say....
