AUGUST 2009.

"alex, dear." mr.song called alex, and she looked up from her piano. "yes, mr.song?"

mr.song stood up from his seat, walking over to alex's piano with a book. "about your new book..." he began, and alex tilted her head in confusion.

"new book?" 

mr.song nods, "yes, you'll be getting a new book." mr.song held the book up. "it's called the library of piano classics, volume 2."

alex's mouth forms a 'o' shape, as she nods slowly. "you'll need to pick it up from the book store."

alex nods once again, "i'll go do that."

mr.song smiles warmly at the girl, "run along now."

alex stands up from her seat, and walks out of the mr.song's classroom. she walks along the narrow hall of classroom, and turns left into the main lobby.

besides the main lobby, there's a mini book store located at the side. alex heads for the mini store, opening the glass door to enter inside.

as she enters, she is met with the quiet atmosphere of the book store, shelves and shelves of books all around her.

walking deeper in the shop, she lets out a small yelp when seeing a person's back view; a boy, a familiar boy standing in a corner, face stuck inside a book.

the boy turns around, and immediately, alex sighs in relief, her hand on her chest. "oh my gosh, you scared me."

"you scared me." yoongi breathes out. "what are you doing here, gemstone?"

alex smiles cheekily when hearing the nickname, "just fetching a new book. yeon-kimin."

yoongi's eyebrows furrow at her words, "new book?" alex nods, her fringe bouncing on her forehead. "yep! mr.song told me i'd get a new book today."

yoongi blinks a few times, before a smile grows on his features. "that's...amazing."

his eyes meet alex's lightened up ones, "i'm proud of you, gemstone." alex chuckles cutely, "it's all thanks to you, yeon-kimin!"

alex suddenly lets out a sigh, "i just don't know where to find it."

"oh," yoongi immediately replies. "go ask miss rhee to get it for you, it's on a high shelf."

[ note: miss rhee is a lady that works at the front desk. ]

alex nods, "alrighty, thanks!"

alex walks out of the mini shop, strutting towards the front desk. once she gets there, she stands in front, her hands on the edge of the desk. 

alex was practically tiptoeing, since she was quite short. "miss rhee?"

miss rhee looks up from her computer, her gaze falling onto the little girl. she smiles warmly at her, "how may i help you, dear?"

"i need help finding my new book." alex says, and miss rhee leans her elbows onto the desk. "which one?"

"the library of piano classics, volume 2." alex replies, and the lady nods once before standing up from her chair.
