Min-Seok arrives at the library in the late noon. He looks like he had a great sleep last night.

He sits opposite of me and took out his books.

He then stick a note on my paper.

'you look pretty today :-)'

I blush and put the sticker at the back of the book.

Min-Seok take off his cap, he has black hair now and it's a mess.

A hot mess.

Ugh I need to stop, history is important. I look down at my history book and started noting down the important stuff.

Min-Seok then stood up and walk to the bookshelves.

I secretly stick a note on a random page on his book, it says 'hwaiting'. He deserves a break.

I stood up and went to the computer, trying to find a book that can help me.

I went to search for  section, walking past Min-Seok.

I smiled deviously to myself and stand on the other side of the bookshelf.

I took out the book in front of me and... He isn't there anymore.

"What are you looking for?" I turn around and Min-Seok has me cornered.

Min-Seok lowers his head so he could look me in the eyes. But he doesn't realise that he's actually inching a little bit closer.

I watch his eyes flicker to my lips, omo he's coming closer!

(/ω)

"Can I..." He stopped and his jaw flexed.

"Can I kiss you?"

I didn't answer, and he didn't wait for me to. His hands caught me gently behind the neck and he pressed his mouth to mine, softly but firmly. Then he moved one arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I drop the book I was holding, it landed with a soft thud. I felt like my heart stopped.

Min-Seok pulls apart, pressing his forehead against mine.

"Let's head back to studying." I run off, not knowing what to do.

Me and my dumbass.





The whole day I avoid Min-Seok's eye contact.

It's not that I don't like him— I mean not saying I do either.

Maybe I do. I like the way he treats me, he's kind to me, he looks out for me, I love the way he moves and how he is...

And bonus, he's adorable.

I do trust him, he makes me feel safe. I know he will always be there for me.

"Chae-Rin ah, the library is closing." Min-Seok speaks up. He begin packing his books into his bags.

I stare at his veiny hands and remembered how it felt like to hold it.

I pack my bag and left the library with him. As usual, he sends me back home. On the way back, I noticed the lightning flashes in the sky.

"Min-Seok ssi, you should go home." I say to him. He looks at me and said, "I am sorry."

I look into his eyes, I can't help but remember that he kissed me awhile back.

"I am sorry, it's not that I don't like you. Min-Seok ssi... You're Xiumin, Xiumin of EXO." I can feel droplets of the rain on my face.

"I know." Min-Seok takes off his mask and throws it to the floor, "but I just want to be with you." He grabs my hands.

My eyes immediately fill up with tears, "the consequences—"

"We will deal with it together." The rain came down like the shower. He has a small smile face on his face, his eyes is looking at me earnestly.

Let's just live in the moment.

I tiptoe and cups his face with both of my hands. I press my lips against his.

I pull away, "you're something, Baek Chae-Rin." Min-Seok grins. I giggled, "I don't want you to get sick." He held onto my hand and we run towards my house.

I pass him a towel to clean himself up, "do you want something to eat?" I ask, looking into the fridge.

"I can cook kimchi fried rice." I say, taking the ingredients out. "I will help you." Min-Seok puts the towel into the laundry basket and stood by my side.

We set the big bowl of rice on the coffee table and search for a movie to watch, "have you watch train to Busan?" Min-Seok ask.

"No." I shake my head, "me too." Min-Seok press on play. "We should go to the movies one day." Min-Seok suggested.

"Are you forgetting that you're famous?" I scoop the rice for him, "its okay, I like it at home too." I say in a very, very low tone almost muttering.

Min-Seok smiles, "I want to bring you somewhere on tomorrow night." He says, feeding me a spoonful of rice first.

"Where are we going?" I ask, my mouth full of rice. "A carnival." Min-Seok replies.

Oh, I must dress up then.

I look up at him and he has a grain of rice on the side of his mouth, "Oppa, do you not know how to eat?" I teased him.

I reach out and threw the grain into the bin, he stares at me as I ate.

"What did you say?" Min-Seok smirks, "oh erm, Min-Seok—"

"Ani." Min-Seok shakes his head, he smiles at me. "I think we need more kimchi." I stood up, "no, we don't." He grabs my wrist and pulls me onto his lap.

I put my hands on his shoulders, he leans in closer to my face. His phone then started ringing, he opens his eyes, "sorry."

I stood up from his lap and sat down next to him. "Ah Baekhyun ah." Min-Seok leans back, "hyung is not free till Monday."

"Chae-Rin? What do you want to do?" Min-Seok looks at me, "I will text you." Min-Seok ends the call and put his phone aside.

"I will pick you up at 12 tomorrow okay." Min-Seok says, "the boys want to get to know you more." I just nod my head, right, I should get to know his closest friends.



"Reach home safely." I send Min-Seok to the door step, "sleep well, I will see you tomorrow." He kisses me on the forehead.

His hand left mine and suddenly it lost it's warmth. I wave goodbye to him and watch as he cutely walks off.

Every time that man smiles, my heart melts.
