I hate U, I love U

Chapter Thirteen

Taehyung pushed Dahyun. "Can you please be more careful?" He told her, sounding annoyed. Then he went back to Minhee who's giving them a disapproval look. He grabbed Minhee's hand and dragged her out of the library.

Still in shock, Dahyun can't barely moved. She almost got hit by a ball in the face during PE, but Taehyung blocked it for her. And now, she almost got fallen over a book shelf, but Taehyung managed to pull her away before it can happen.

She's thankful, of course.

But every time he helps her, he always looks mad at her.

And what's worse is that he always immediately leave her alone.

I think Taehyung cares for you. Jeongyeon's words rang through her mind.

She harshly shakes it off. "No, he's just pretending that he cares."

The librarian came rushing on her. "Are you okay?" she checked if she got hurt.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry about the book shelf. It's my fault. I tried reaching the book then this happened," Dahyun explained.

"No, it's fine. This shelf is a bit old. We're just really waiting for the replacement," she informed her.

Dahyun volunteered to help in arranging the books but the librarian refused. "It's fine. I have a student assistant who will help me," she told her. "Oh! Thank goodness you're here!" The librarian looked up and smiled.

Curious who is it, Dahyun turned around to look.

The both of them have the same expression when they saw each other.

"Jungkook, please put the thick books over there," the librarian instructed him.

Breaking the eye contact, Jungkook immediately obeyed her and picked the books one by one.

"I was the one who caused this mess, please allow me to help," Dahyun pleads the librarian. She doesn't know why she's so eager to help and stay here all of a sudden.

The librarian thinks for a few seconds before finally giving in. "Fine," she said. "But let Jungkook carry the heavy ones, okay?"

Dahyun nodded.

"I'll go get some boxes to put the books there for now, then I'll report this to the office for them to request a new shelf. I'll be right back," she told them before leaving.

An awkward silence came.

The two of them are thinking who should start the conversation first.

Dahyun is stealing glances of him who is seriously stacking up some books.

"Umm..."

"Umm.."

They both said at the same time.

"You go first."

"You go first."

Again, they said the exact words at the same time.

"No, really. You go first," Jungkook told her, looking shy.

Dahyun can feel her face heating up. "Umm, okay," she said.

"So, you're working here?" she asked.

"Yeah," he replied. "I'm a scholar," he revealed.

"Oh."

He stared at her, then give her a small smile.

Dahyun was taken aback by his smile.

"Were you hurt?" he asked, his voice sounded worried.
