"My third best friend was an author who did not know I existed" 

-John Green

Good morning. Another beautiful morning to wake up to. But I doubt that the day will be as beautiful as the morning. I felt empty today. There was no excitement about anything today. No meeting with Kookie, no meeting with BTS. Not even my friends are here to get me out of my loneliness. It's been a while that I talked to my friends, I was thinking about calling them, but it was already time to get ready for the library to do my shifts. I dragged myself to the bathroom; Washed up my face, brushed lazily and showered.

I wore my white button up and jeans. I put on my only make-up that was the lip-gloss. I sprayed my flowery perfume and got ready for my shifts.

I took a cab to library and was listening to 'Illegal' of BTS. It's a song I love very much from the album. It's sung by the vocalists of BTS, and is sung very beautifully. When Jungkook sings... 'Oh baby no hey~'....my heart skips a beat. He has such a beautiful voice that just touches my heart.

I reached the library, greeted my co-workers and got to my work. There was a shelf that needed to be arranged so I got busy in work. There are thousands of books in this library, and taking care of them is not so easy. I love them, so I enjoy it. I was arranging the books when someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned back to look who it was....

"Rapmon hyung...!!!! What are you doing here? Why didn't you told me you are coming?" I was so happy to meet him. I thought I am going to be a loner today, but Rapmon hyung just made the day easier for me.

"I just wanted some book, so I came here. I knew you'll be here at this time, so, I thought about surprising you" He said explaining why he was here, that was so obvious though. Stupid me.

"That was a great surprise. I missed you" I said suddenly giving him a hug. I am in love with the crazy family.

"Ah~.... We were also missing you a lot, even Suga hyung was missing you, he thinks you are really perfect to be part of our family" he said hugging me back and stroking my head.

"What books do you want Moni hyung? I can show you" I asked him parting from our hug.

"Umm.... I wanted a good novel to read. Can you help me suggesting a good novel? I am sure you know some great novels"

"Sure. Come with me"

He followed me to the shelf where English novels are kept. I searched through it and got what I was looking for. It was a novel written by Ruskin Bond, an Indian author and my favorite too. His short stories are the best.

"Read this novel, this is the first novel written by Ruskin Bond, when he was just 17. I hope you like it" I said handing him the book.

"Hmm.... I'll read this. Thank you, you really know what you are doing. You are so good at your job. This job suits you perfectly. Finally, I got someone who is crazier for books than me. Those kids at the dorm don't read many books, they occasionally read a book or two. I am glad I got a partner"

"Thank you. I myself love this job. I am glad that I could be your partner in reading books. We'll make a great team and read every book available in the world" I said over-dramatically, like we are going to conquer a land or something. Then, we started laughing at my little drama.

"How was your date with Kookie yesterday?" He asked me when we finished laughing.

"It was great. We went to a coffee shop, and I loved that place and then, we went for dinner. Kookie told me that, all of you go there often. I enjoyed a lot yesterday" I said enthusiastically at the end; at first I was shy.
