Part 6.5 – The Library Haejin

The soft rustling of pages and the occasional scribbling of pens against paper filled the silent space of the library. The stillness—the way the knowledge surrounded me, urging me to focus—has always been comforting.

But today, I was anything but focused.

I was sitting at my usual spot near the window at the end of the library. I tapped my pen against my notebook, staring blankly at the open textbook in front of me.

Across from me, Jungkook was skimming through his notes, his expression surprisingly serious,which was rare.

His dark hair fell slightly over his eyes as he leaned forward. He looks so effortlessly handsome.

I let out a quiet sigh and forced myself to look away, turning my gaze to the window instead.

Outside, It was peaceful, but something was not, my heart. My mind kept drifting back to him.

Lately, spending time with Jungkook had become a routine. Which had started as tutoring sessions upon his endless requests, now there was more to just tutoring.

It wasn't that we talked about deep things. Most of the time, he just teased me, testing my patience with his silly remarks.

But he looked at me sometimes... as if I was the only person in the room.

I hated how it made me feel.

Jungkook wasn't the type to settle down with just one person. He was the heartthrob of the school, the one every girl whispered about, the one who could make anyone fall for him with just a few words.
And I was trying to not be one of them.

"Miss Topper," Jungkook's voice broke through my thoughts, drawing my attention back to him.

I blinked. "What?"

He smirked. "You were staring at me."

"I was not," I shot back immediately, feeling my cheeks heat up. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't realise I was literally staring at him for the past 10 minutes.

"Uh-huh, sure," he chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "So, what were you thinking about?"

"How to get you to study," I said flatly, flipping a page in my book.

Jungkook grinned. "Oh, I am studying. I'm studying you." He said effortlessly.

I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the way my heart skipped a beat.

This was dangerous.

I had worked too hard to build too many walls around myself to let someone like Jungkook slip past them.

He was a distraction, and distractions were the last thing I needed. I had so much to do and being with him was not even on my list.

I picked up my pen, determined to refocus. "Let's go over this chapter again," I said, pretending like I hadn't just been lost in my thoughts about him.

Jungkook sighed dramatically "As you wish Mam." shifting closer to glance at my notes.

Our arms brushed slightly, and I stiffened at the sudden contact of his skin against mine.

"Relax, Miss Topper. I don't bite," he murmured with a smirk.

I inhaled sharply and forced myself to concentrate. My anger was at its peak, anger for myself for having such loud reactions.

It was just a normal day at the library.

Just a normal study session.

At least, that's what I kept telling myself.

But I knew it was not.

ITS A SMALL CHAPTER GUYS. Next chapter will be of good length.
