(A/N • FROM NOW ON ALL MY CHAPTERS WILL BE IN THE FORM OF 'YOU' AS I THINK IT FLOWS BETTER HAHA - That way you guys can put yourself in the character's shoes easily 😅)
This month was the month everyone dreaded. Exams, exams and more fricken exams. As usual, the library was packed after 9AM for all the latecomers to study for their subjects in peace. You always found this cosy spot behind the Ryeo Dynasty History books and sat there, hours on end, only ever by yourself as you couldn't read your mangas in peace when in front of others.
Today was different though. You felt odd even before stepping into the campus library. So casually, you headed to your spot.
But no. There it was. Something you dreaded most ever since you took this space as your own. A pile of about 200 books stacked on that corner of the floor and a blonde, young male kneeling over it.
"Excuse me?" You muttered, making the male turn his head back to glance at you.
"Hello, do you need help with anything?" He queried, standing up and turning to face you as you approached him. You vaguely noticed him giving you a once-over before looking up at your face.
"No, I was wondering when you'll be done with these books here, I kind of use this space for myself." You shrugged, trying not to sound blatantly rude.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but this is a public space. If you'd like to request a private study room, you can do that at the kiosk-" he pointed to the desk but you interrupted him. "I don't want a private space." You snapped a little, tone sharp and wavering.
"Miss, Y/N" the two steps he'd taken, made him seem extremely close. "Please don't be like this, or else I'll have to kindly ask you to leave."
"Wait, how do you know my name?"
"You come here all the time, and when you go to the help desk I'm literally there helping you find your mangas." He shrugged as your eyebrows furrowed. "You seriously can't remember me?"
When he said that, you did realize that he looked familiar. Not only because his visuals were so gorgeous, there would be no reason to say he didn't jump out of a manga himself.
"Anyway-" your eyes dropped to his badge, "Minhyuk, I can't sit anywhere else." You pleaded. At this point you didn't care if you looked stubborn.
"Well," he paused, holding his breath for a second. "I have a place where you can read quietly for the meantime while I finish with these," he motioned to the stack of books again.
You nodded hesitantly, his head turning from left to right to check if any co-workers were around and he took your wrist.
"I'll show you, come on." He muttered, pulling on your arm and guiding you away from your spot.
You took a brief moment to admire his side profile. He was wearing black, rounded glasses and a blue, loose button-up shirt, half tucked in to a pair of jeans.
He looked pretty clean and organized which was a relief. Nowadays, most guys are greasy and unhygienic (which you have to admit it just unacceptably disgusting).
You ceased your oogling and realized he was guiding you down a back staircase.
Oh god, if I'm about to be raped right now...
"Just like, don't be freaked out alright? This is an old corridor and it does look a little suspicious." He sighed, leading you down some stone stairwell.
You cringed at the excess amount of cobwebs on the walls. "A little? - honey, you're dragging me down some sort of ancient Egyptian burial chamber."
"You're not wrong." He laughed, and your head spun so fast you swear you heard a crack.
"Wait, what?" Your breath caught in your throat as he reached a door.
"This stone is Egyptian stone." He paused. "The school keeps it on the down-low though so it doesn't get put in a museum. Plus, these are the foundations of the building and were shipped here from Egypt a while ago."
"Oh, so you're a history geek," you nodded and he threw you a look.
"Weeb." Bruh, you like to look at old stones.
You scoffed at his comeback and he finally let go of your wrist. "Just show me the place."
"Alright, geez, woman." He shoved the stuff door open and you came across a room almost untouched, but clean. Old objects were still in place and there was a couch to the right of the large room.
"You can come here if you want. But I have to take you cause it's easy to get lost."
•••
"Ah, that's cute." You sniggered at the drama evolving in the story.
Minhyuk looked up at you from the side. "What?"
"Oh, nothing." You coughed, grinning.
He muttered some indistinct words before relaxing into the couch.
You'd been here a few times already, getting a little closer to Minhyuk than you thought you would. Not that you minded at all, just that his presence used to be slightly annoying but now he makes you a little flustered sometimes. So much so, that you think you might like him. Just a little.
"Tell me," he whined, turning to you.
You blushed a little but tried to calm yourself down, passing him the book so he could see what you were fangirling at.
His eyebrows shot up when he saw that you were reading a cute scene where one of the characters was flirting with the other. "This is what you fantasize about? Fuckboys flirting with the girls who are crushing on them?"
You gave him a look of distain and tutted, snatching the book from his hands. "You have no taste."
"Oh I have taste, Y/N." He laughed.
"Don't argue with me... You. Have. No. Taste." You punctuated every syllable, flicking to the next page of your newest favourite book.
You felt him smirk and lean towards you. "Just wait, Y/N. Just wait."

Hi guys! I'm in Bordeaux right now, WITH WIFI SO I'M NOT DEAD EVERYONE. Thank jisoos. Anyways, I recently realized that I should start to watch JJProject's 'Bounce' religiously because A) if you haven't done the headbanging choreo even once - hoe what you doing. And 2) Jinyoung's rapping was a blessing, not a burden honeys.
Also, I wanted to say that I'm super grateful for all requests and I'll try as hard as I can to get them to be as best as they can be. 😊
Thank you~
