Library | Soogyu

Chapter 17

A week passed, and it took the three friends and Hueningkai's sister that long to shift all their belongings to Yeonjun's place. Although Yeonjun had offered to help, they had refused, feeling that he had already done more than enough by providing them a place to live without rent. They were determined to repay his kindness in some way.

So, the three friends and Hueningkai's sister took it upon themselves to handle the move. They spent days loading their belongings into Beomgyu's car and transporting them to their new home. It was a tiring process, but they were resolute.

During this time, Yeonjun would occasionally check in on them, offering refreshments and moral support. "Are you sure you don't need any help?" he would ask, to which they would always reply with grateful smiles, "No, hyung, we've got it. Thank you so much."

Finally, after countless trips back and forth, they had moved the last of their things. Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai, and his sister stood in the living room of their new home, looking around at the boxes and bags that filled the space.

"We did it," Taehyun said, dropping onto the couch with a sigh of relief.

Hueningkai nodded, "Yeah, and now we have a place we can really call home."

Beomgyu smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "Thanks to Yeonjun hyung. We'll definitely find a way to repay his kindness."

Hueningkai's sister chimed in, "And we'll make sure this place stays as nice as it is. It's the least we can do."

As they settled in, the friends couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for Yeonjun's generosity. They knew that despite the challenges, they had found a supportive and caring community to be a part of.

It had also been a week since Beomgyu last visited the library. He wasn't expecting anything, especially after not receiving a note from his friend the previous week. Yet, a small flicker of hope still lingered in the corner of his heart, wishing he might get to talk to his friend again.

The exhausting process of moving had drained him completely. Each day was filled with carrying boxes and making countless trips, leaving him utterly spent. Now that they had finally settled into their new place, Beomgyu was still recovering from the fatigue. He was so tired that he often found himself dozing off during lectures, unable to keep his eyes open.

One afternoon, after another long day, Beomgyu slumped into his seat in the classroom, barely able to keep his head up. Taehyun and Hueningkai exchanged worried glances.

"You okay, Gyu?" Taehyun asked, nudging him gently.

Beomgyu rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Just tired, that's all. This moving thing has really taken it out of me."

Hueningkai patted his back. "We've already moved in, so now you can get some rest."

Beomgyu nodded, but he couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment that had settled in his chest. He didn't have the energy to visit the library, and the thought of not finding a note from his friend again made him even more reluctant to go.

"I just don't want to be more upset if there's nothing there," Beomgyu admitted softly, staring at the desk in front of him.

Taehyun gave him a reassuring smile. "Maybe you should take a break and go to the library after the classes are over. Who knows? You might find something this time."

"Yeah," Hueningkai agreed. "A little hope never hurts."

Beomgyu managed a small smile. "Maybe. We'll see."

Now that they were finally settled into their new home, Beomgyu tried to keep his spirits up, but the exhaustion weighed heavily on him. Despite the physical and emotional fatigue, the tiny spark of hope kept him going, urging him to check the library one more time.
