There he was again. The blonde hair boy with the pretty brown eyes. Tall and fair pale skin. Who was he?

Bang Chan. That's what it read on his library card. And it suited the male. Changbin loved the name. And he had a big crush on the other.

But the only time they conversed was when the male needed help finding a book and then checking them out.

Changbin always took notice in the type of books the guy read. Some were mangas that Changbin has read himself. And other books were about music production.

And it made Changbin curious about the older. Was he really interested in music? Was he gonna start making his own?

"Hi, I need help in finding a book." Changbin looks up from his own novel and sees Chan standing there with a dimpled smile.

Changbin blushes a bit and nods. He pushes up his round glasses and closes the book.

"What book are you looking for?" Changbin asks as he types in his log in onto the computer.

Chan places his elbow on the high desk and places his chin on the palm of his hand.

"Umm, music production for beginners." Chan says. Changbin nods and starts to type the title into the search bar.

"We currently have 3 books. Would you like me to show you where they are?" Changbin asks looking at Chan.

He nods and pushes himself away from the desk and ready to follow the shorter male. Changbin quickly writes down the number and letters of the books onto a sticky note.

Changbin leads them to the music production section and looks around for the books. Chan couldn't help but watch the younger male.

How Changbin would pout and his eyes brighten when he thinks he found the book. How he would occasionally push up his glasses.

He was adorable in Chan's eyes. Everything about him drove Chan's heart crazy.

He was so lost by the others look he didn't notice the other talking to him.

"Hello? Are you okay?" Changbin spoke. Chan came out of his daze and blushed at the slight closeness of the younger.

He can smell the lavender detergent that radiates off the younger. It suited him well, nice and calming.

He can see galaxies in the dark brown orbs. He felt lost in them.

"Hello?" Changbin spoke again. Chan snapped out of it and mumbles an apology, feeling heat rise on his cheeks.

Changbin giggles and blushes a bit at the cute action. He realizes the closeness and coughs slightly and moves away a bit.

"Uh, shall I check them out for you?" Changbin asks. Chan rapidly nods and once again follows the other back to the front desk.

"Library card, please." Changbin softly says. Chan rummages through his pocket and pulls out his wallet.

He looks for the card and soon hands it over. Changbin smiles at him and scans the barcode. The profile showing up.

He sees a list of precious books he has checked out before. All in the same category.

He scans the books and prints out a receipt. He stacks the books together and places the paper on top. He slides them over to Chan, the other moving to grab the books.

And there was a brief moment. A small electric moment where they brushed hands. Chan felt the softness of the youngers small hands and the spark.

Changbin felt the warmth and slight roughness of Chan's hands. He was a hard worker and his hands showed it.

Both boys pull away with heavy tinted cheeks. Eyes looking down.

"Umm, the books expire on the 20th. Thank you and come again." Changbin softly says and pushes his glasses up.

Chan nods, "See you then."

Changbin places a hand on his heart and feels it drumming hard against his chest.

What a small action can do to him.

"Ahhh just ask him out!" Jisung yells and grabs a random book off of Chan's desk.

"Ask him with books!" Felix suggests and grabs a handful of popcorn.

Chan hums. That sounds cheesy but it suited the situation.

Asking out the librarian helper with books.

"You mean like searching for books that will ask him out?" Jisung asks placing the book down.

Felix nods. "There should be books with single word titles. We find them and arranged them and it will spell out, 'Will you go out with me?'"

Chan nods, liking the idea. Jisung shakes his head at the cheesy idea.

"Do you think he'll like that? Being asked out by books that he works around with almost everyday?" Jisung asks wanting to be sure of the idea.

"Besides, how do we even look for them? Don't you always ask him for help?" Felix asks looking up at the older who was standing.

Chan laughs. "I only ask for his help so I can spend a bit more time with him."

"Smart." Both Felix and Jisung say.

Chan claps his hands together.

"Right, lets get started."
——
Changbin turns the page of his novel. It's been a couple weeks since he last saw Chan. And it sadden him.

Not being able to see the blonde hair, dimpled smile boy.

Changbin sighs and closes his book, losing interest in the story. He pushes his glasses up and checks the clock that was hanging on the wall.

He had an hour left before leaving and going home.

He snaps his head to the sound of footsteps coming his way.

He felt himself smile at the sight. He was here!

Chan was here today!

Changbin have him a smile. "Nice to see you again!"

Chan chuckles and places the stacks of books on the desk. Changbin looking and observing them.

They were completely different from the books he would normally check out.

He saw that they were one worded titles. An interesting pick.

"Summer reading?" Changbin chuckles as he hands the card back to Chan.

Chan chuckles as well, "I guess you could say that."

Changbin reads the title of each book as he scans them.

Me. Date. You. Will.

It was interesting.

Changbin prints out the receipt and hands it to Chan along with the books.

"The books expire on the 9th. Have a nice day!" Changbin says.

Chan doesn't take the books and Changbin looks at him in confusion.

"Would you mind reading the receipt? Of the books I checked out?" Chan asks, pointing at the paper.

Changbin, confused, did as he was told. He grabs the receipt and scans the list of books.

"Will. You. Date. Me." Changbin looks up at him after reading it, still confused.

Chan gives him a dimpled smile. "Well, will you?"

Changbin slowly comprehending, starts to laugh. Chan didn't know how to react. Was it a bad or good laugh?

"Ah! I'm sorry! This-this is just pure!" Changbin says giggling a bit.

Changbin was really happy that he was being asked out by Chan and he couldn't have done it any other way.

"I love and appreciate the effort. It's really sweet and cute." Changbin says.

Chan nibbles on his bottom lip, still waiting anxiously for the youngers answer.

"Yes. I will love to date you." Changbin says with a smile.
