Our Beautiful Story (Read To Me)

me

it had been a few days since jimin rented out the book from the library. he wasn't going to lie, he was having trouble reading the book because he was distracted very easily by everything around him. during lunch people would be making too much noise and at home his mother would always be asking him to do chores so he never found time to actually sit down and read the book. he didn't want to think about it but the only thing that came to his head was to go to the library and read there where it's always quiet.

jimin had finally made it to the library after school with his book in his hand ready to read in peace. he wasn't actually excited at all because he doesn't enjoy reading. maybe he wouldn't fall asleep. he just needed to start the book if he wanted to get the assignment done.

he didn't even spare a glance towards the front desk and went straight to one of the tables in the back. much to his convenience the library was quite empty. he was the only one sitting at the tables.

he unzipped his bag and took out his laptop and opened up a fresh new document to start taking notes on what he was reading.

an hour into his reading he sensed a person walking towards him from the corner of his eye. he turned his head over and saw the same man again and internally groaned.

"look look, i'm not even disrupting anyone, please don't kick me out again"

"woah there slow down i'm just here to ask if you like the book?"

jimin looked down at the book and tapped the cover nervously. he wasn't going to lie, he felt a little uncomfortable because this man was always trying to start a conversation with him and he didn't know him personally. he took a few more seconds before looking up and replying "it's a nice book, i don't read often so there are things i don't understand but either way it's fine"

jimin stared at the man until he replied "do you want me to sit and read some of it for you so you can just hear it?"

jimin was panicking so much. 'this man wants to read to me? i don't think i'd make it with his soft calm voice'

"u-uh s-sure" jimin internally slapped himself for stuttering so much.

the man sat down and carefully took the book from jimin who was basically paralyzed in his seat. he couldn't move a muscle knowing that this pretty looking man was sitting so close to him. what if he embarrassed himself? jimin thinks he would die.

jimin finally snapped out of his trance and propped his elbows on top of the table cupping his own face and faced the man listening to him read the book out with his soft voice. there would be times where he would look over to jimin and still be saying the words even though he wasn't looking.

'jeez how many times has he read this book to remember the words" jimin thought to himself not realizing that the man had stopped reading and was just staring back at him. jimin quickly ducked his head and avoided eye contact.

the man is mesmerized by the boy's appearance. he has the softest eyes he's ever seen, the tiniest nose in humankind, and the most plump pink lips ever. he even had little freckles on the side of both his cheeks. he barely knew the boy but he could definitely assure himself that he had a small liking for the boy.

jimin finally looked up and noticed things about the other man as well. he has the prettiest cat eyes he's ever laid eyes on, his lips look like doll lips, so nice and rosy pink, and his cheeks are full and bright. jimin had always acknowledged that the man was pretty but he didn't realize he was that pretty. jimin panicked again and turned his face away, he's sure his face was beet red at that moment.

"what are you staring at huh?" the beautiful man was slightly smirking at jimin

"i can ask you the same question"
