The rowdy hallways surprised Wonyoung as she walked. Locker sounds, laughter, the noise people chatting together and even music was heard as she walked down to the library. As a lover of peace and calmness, the library has always been the best place for her. It's like her home and safe place.

As she opened the library doors, cold air brushed against her skin. In a second, the noice disappeared. She greeted the librarians and staffs quietly and rushed to pick the book of the day.

She scanned through the shelves as she run her fingers gently on the spines of the books. She went to the fiction area, but none of the displayed books did she liked. She went to the non fiction area, but was disappointed to pick no book. Her last resolve was in the work books used in school. As she entered the room filled with books and tables and chairs, a figure caught her attention.

A tall girl, medium length hair, the cutest dimples and glasses. She was wearing the uniform of a senior. Wonyoung was basically staring as she stood at the door. The room was only with a couple of students including the beautiful girl.

The sound of a book closing caught Wonyoung's attention. She looked around and didn't realize it was the same girl who stood up and went back to return the book.

Wonyoung slowly walked too and scanned the shelves once more. She tried to brush off the figure inside her head. It was like she was feeling too happy to see such beautiful girl.

"Hey, If you want to read a good book, read this. I saw you struggling to find one a while ago." A voice from behind said and tapped her.

She faced the person and to her surprise it was her.

"O-oh... Thank you?" She said trying to capture her name.

"Yujin. Ahn Yujin. And you are?"

"Jang Wonyoung."

"Such a beautiful name, Wonyoung. I have to go though. Enjoy the book, Wonnie." Yujin left leaving Wonyoung stunned. She blushed at the sudden nickname for her.

She smiled and read the book. But she couldn't focus as Yujin occupied her mind.

"I guess I felt insecure to see such beautiful human being." Wonyoung explained to her friend, Chaewon.

"Hmm... Yeah, I'm not buying it." Chaewon said as she eat another spoonful of Mint Chocolate ice cream.

"I swear Unnie! Don't think it's a crush or I like Yujin." Wonyoung complained.

"Wonyoung, you couldn't focus reading the book she recommended because you thought she was so pretty and you wanted to hug her, you felt your cheeks heat up when she talked to you and you felt happy around her when you were at the library? Who's gonna believe that isn't a crush?" Chaewon said.

"I..."

"Told yah. There is nothing wrong with having a crush, Wonyoung. It's like having a source of serotonin!"

"Like you and-"

"We don't speak of her name, Jang." Chaewon chuckled and smiled at the thought if her crush.

"But all jokes aside, you feel joy as you fall in love. Yes, you will feel lots of pain as you continue but as long as you also think about yourself and not all about the person you like or love. You are not a kid anymore. You are now a young lady. If there is are emotions or feelings that you feel, don't push them away. Learn to gladly accept it." Chaewon adviced.

"Thank you, Unnie." Wonyoung thanked and ate her ice cream.

The next day, Wonyoung decided to eat at the canteen for no apparent reason. She just feels like it. It's a surprise for students to see Jang Wonyoung in the canteen.

Wonyoung is a pretty popular girl in school who is known to be very smart and bookish. She is like a model for the students. A real example of beauty and brains for them.

With the height, the looks and the intelligence, she can be a potential beauty queen. It's just that Wonyoung is very introverted. She sat down at the very corner of the room and ate a sandwich.

"That's all you have for lunch?" She looked up and saw Yujin standing in front of her.

"Hm... Let's eat together! Here, I bought extra food. Eat more." Yujin placed down her tray and ate.

Wonyoung was stunned by the actions and words, but was left with no choice but to agree.

"How was the book?" Yujin opened a conversation.

"It was good. I learned more about greek mythology. I was intrigued with it."

"That's good to hear. You know, You remind me of someone."

"Hm?"

"You remind me of Aphrodite."

Wonyoung smiled and blushed at the comment.

"You are really beautiful, Wonnie." Yujin said and drank her straberry milk.

"You too." Wonyoung said and ate to hide the feelings and happiness.

She didn't even notice how the students were looking at them. They both felt like they were in there own world. For once, Wonyoung found another safe place.

A place better than the library. A place that made her produce so much serotonin and makes her feel cared and treasured.

And it is when she is with Yujin.
