After taking long-ride with a bus, Nunew is greeted by the chill wind breeze that touch his cheeks as he walking towards the school gates. He came this early because of 'something', his foot are dragging him to his 'destination'. His first destination is not his locker nor his class but the library, you know to put the notebook like what Zee told him. He scans his student ID card before he gets inside the library, he puts his bag inside a locker then takes out the notebook before he locked the locker.

Nunew looks carefully at each row to find Row 56. Luckily, this library is giving such an easy accessibility, there's a sign that shows where's the Rows are. Nunew walks as he follows the sign and it's leading him to the farthest corner of the library, and there's where he found Row 56. He doesn't know how Zee know this Row exist but yeah guess he just know.

After finding the Row Zee have stated in the note, the other thing he have to do is to find Shelf 9-F and actually it's not a hard task because it's actually written clearly at the shelf. Nunew looks at each shelf and brings him to the end of the row near the wall and Shelf 9-F were just on his left.

Before he puts the notebook at the shelf, he opens it again one more time to make sure if he misses one or two words.

'If you found this book on the shelf, then Congratulations hehe!!

I honestly think that this idea is great !!!! I can't wait to talk with you more with this notebook, i will be waiting for you to reply!! I'll grab this notebook tomorrow after school ends ′³′ '

After he is sure with his writing, Nunew closes the book and locks it. He grabs a small ladder that is provided by the library to reach high shelves. He steps on that ladder and carefully put the book at the top shelf. Finally, the notebook is safe and secured, he steps down from the ladder and walks away to grab his bag and goes to his class. His heart is beating so fast as he feels so excited about this.....Hope this will last long, he just walks fast as he could to reach his class and buries his head on his desk.

Lunch time is here and seems like Zee doesn't walk to the canteen but instead he's going to the library, you know to check if the notebook were placed there. He walks inside the library and goes straight to the Row 56, it seems like goes here pretty often. When looks up at the Shelf 9-F, he found the notebook. With his tall legs, he can easily grab it from the shelf.

He entered the code and opened it, he smiles when he reads the replies, especially there's little emoji that Nunew's draw makes it even fun to read.

At the same time, the speaker turns on as this is the time for lunch time broadcast.

"*thud* *thud* Hello everyone, it's another time for the lunch time broadcast! I'm Nunew, your host for today and as usual, i will be playing some song requests from all of you! Today, i will be playing 20 songs to accompany all of you during your lunch, i hope all of you enjoy today's playlist while enjoying your lunch"

The first song that played is Blooming just for you by Paul Kim and a singer that has same name like Nunew. While listening to the song, Zee sits down at the floor and takes out his pen from his blazer's pocket and write his reply on the next page of the notebook.

' I'm glad that you agreed with my idea! I actually spent a lot of time in here when i want to be alone, this part of library are barely touched by students, unless the librarian, so i think our notebook will be safe in here.

Okay let's officially begin our first topic with this notebook. How was your day? Today's 27 June, i feel almost nauseous because i had a P.E then i had to do a pop-quiz for Geography. Urghhh it's so exhausting mentally and physically.  I hope you're enjoying day, not like me haha'

Zee seems enjoying himself putting the words into the pages. He also doesn't know why enjoys this but it makes him calm and release some stress. After done with the writing, he closes the notebook and locks it before he puts it back on the shelf. He takes a last glance at the note book before he get going, he need to leave now because his stomach is already grumbling, begging to be fed. So Zee walks his way out from the library and goes straight to the canteen.

Few hours has passed...

The clock shows at 4 PM and that's it's time for the students time go home. The sky looks cloudy and it's really dark, it's doesn't take long for the cloud to pouring. Students are now standing at the school building's entrance, some are waiting for their pick-up, some just runs through the rain, and some of it just use their umbrella.

Nunew looks into his bag and just realized that he has forgotten to bring his umbrella because he took it out to get ice cream last night's and forget to put it back in his bag. He's annoyed with his own stupidity now he will have to run through to the rain to go home, when he was preparing and position himself into a running stance so ready to sprint home, an umbrella shade covering his head. He turns his head and he found Zee is the one moving the umbrella to him.

"Here, You need this more than i do" says Zee as he 'want' to give his umbrella to Nunew. Nunew's eyes almost fallen out, this is so sudden like Why....? Why does Zee want to give his umbrella to him? Does he already know who Nunew is?

"It's okay, I'm fine... It's yours, you better use it" Nunew rejected it because obviously he doesn't want to bother Zee and also he get nervous everytime they meet. With Zee doing like this it's really not good for Nunew's heart.

Zee sighs, "I can use my jacket to cover my head" he still insisted Nunew to take it, then he takes Nunew's hand and gives the handle to Nunew, "Take it, it seems like you would fall sick even with just one raindrops" Nunew just blinked his eyes and looked at his hand that is holding the umbrella.

Zee doesn't care about what Nunew's doing, he quickly take off his jacket to cover his head and he run away through the rain. Meanwhile, Nunew still stunned while holding Zee's umbrella. It took not but lots of second for Nunew to realize....

"Oh no, how am i going to return this??!!!" says Nunew panicked in his stance while 'still' holding Zee's umbrella. He looks at his hands that got touch by Zee and suddenly he feels his cheeks getting warmer.

"Oh my god, did i catch a fever?" Nunew touched his warm cheeks then he proceeds to walk with the umbrella with a thought that he caught a fever.

Oh Nunew.....you just didn't know what just happened to you....
