jungkooki sighed, closing the book that i've finished reading. huh, guess i'll have to find another interesting book in the bookstore, i thought as i glanced at my mini library, seeing books that i have read for about two or three times already. my love for books is never ending.
i changed my clothes and headed outside, not forgetting my glasses. oh, how can i live without them. as i got outside, i glanced at my surroundings. pssh, all i can almost see is cars passing by. it was almost impossible to walk around these places. i mean, i can't see trees around. trees are meant to give oxygen, right?
i stopped my walk when i was already infront of the bookstore. people who entered the bookstore are giving me weird glances. who wouldn't though if some kind of guy like me standing infront of the store, staring at the door? i shook my head and entered the store.
huh, nothing new. it's still the same as to what it looks like last month. well, time to find a book here.

as i wandered around, looking for a certain book, i noticed that a guy is walking the same way as me in the other side of the bookshelf. i found myself staring at the guy's figures and i found them overwhelming. he looks like an angel, compared to me who looks like a beggar on the streets.
i wiped my glasses to see clearly if this is real or not. as i kept on staring at the guy while walking, suddenly he stopped and i also stopped, as if he found the book he was looking for. i continued staring at him.
few seconds later, i was startled when he picked the book that was infront of me. oh, shit. by that, i got caught. the guy stared at me weirdly and confusedly. i found myself nervously grinning. i was surprised when the guy suddenly smirked and chuckled.
"oh, so you were the one staring at me for a while." the stranger chuckled. he's so cute. wait, what?!
my face started to turn into an ugly expression. "hol' up, hol' up. you noticed?!"
the guy chuckled, "i guess so."
i scratched the back of my nape, blushing slightly, "it's just that ㅡ you're just, mesmerizing. no, shit ㅡ im sorry, you must be thinking that im a creㅡ " i blushed deeper red.
he extended his arm to the other side of the shelf to pinch my cheeks, "no, you're cute." he chuckled. too much, too much for my heart to melt.
there was a long silence between us as we continued to stare at each other but then he suddenly broke it saying, "oh well, i will see you later...?"
"jungkook, jeon jungkook." i smiled as i answered him.
"..jungkook. i'm taehyung, by the way." he smiled back.
"see ya!" he said and started to disappear from my sight. i frowned. i hope i can see him day by day.
sighing, i walked away from the bookshelf. but suddenly, somebody called my name.
"jungkookie!~"
i looked to the other side to find taehyung walking towards me. i blushed at the nickname he gave me.
"ye ㅡ yea?" fuck me for stuttering.
"i know this is kind of unusual but, can i ask for your number so we can read books together or maybe.. hang out?" he explained.
wait, am i hearing that right?! holy shit. it's your chance, jeonbaby.
"sure, tae." i answered as we exchanged phone numbers.
