As the two newlymets browsed for exhilirating, adventurous books, Jeongguk became accustomed to the thin layers of dust and the musky library air. Yoongi proposed he explore "The Adventures of Ironman", since he'd shown raw interest in most superhero-themed graphic novels.

"I'm going to read this one for sure, Yoongs!" Jeongguk giggled, eyeing the mint-quality creases and colors of the comic's cover. It displayed a very well-drawn image of his favorite superhero doing a heroic pose, and a courageous smile on his face.

"Yoongs?" The librarian huffed amusedly at the nickname. Usually, he would prefer to be addressed with honorifics, but, he didn't mind so much with the dark-haired customer.

"Oh, sor--" Jeongguk starts, raising a hand to his mouth.

"No need to apologize... Ggukie." Yoongi chuckled softly before tutting with a big grin. The younger male laughed warmly, before looking back down at the graphic novel that was still laced between his fingers.

"Well, I'll go dive into this lil' one, then," Jeongguk said, bowing slightly at his elder.

"See you, page-turner." Yoongi says, before giving the younger a warm smile and walking back down the creaky library stairs.

"Page-turner?" Jeongguk muttered to himself with a brief giggle. He relaxed himself into a plush chairset, letting out a sigh of relief. His escapade of strange weather had resulted in the meeting of a happy bookworm, and he had absolutely no issue with such event.

The young man looked around at his homely surrounding, taking in the aura and presence of it all. The room was flooded with books of every genre, type, and build. The ceiling was covered in sketches of different flowers, some blue lilacs, a pair of yellow roses, and a golden design encircling the whole composition. It was so humble and absolutely perfect, like a trip to the local café on a rainy day.

A huge, circular window finished the piece, exposing skies full with circling and swirling clouds made of delicious, child-worthy cotton candy. The rain poured like falling gemstones in the dulling afternoon. Jeongguk was marveled, and he planned to come back to this majestic place.

At this moment, Jeongguk had finished half of his superhero novel, and although rawly interested in the authour's well-developped plot, he couldn't help but feel a small hint of boredom. He lifted his pale wrist to his eyes, looking at the expensive piece of wristwear and kronos he wore. It marked six hours and thirty-seven minutes, and he concluded it would be best to start his journey back home.

He walked down the twists and turns of the spiral staircase, the thin, magazine-like comic book intertwined between his slender fingers. On his middle finger was a smagdarine piece of fine emerald, stuck to a silver ring, a precious object that looked very gorgeous and unique.

As he reached the floor, a pair of angular eyes raised from the front desk. Yoongi grinned, and waved at his customer.

"Come back again, boy!" The librarian laughed, taking a sip of his lukewarm tea. He watched with attention as Jeongguk checked out the graphic novel, and waved back at the elder.

"Will do, Yoongs."

And with that, he exited the library.
