You took off your black pointed heels and drop the bouquet on the center table of your living room. You sighed as you plop yourself on the couch.

The play was already done, the presentation ran smoothly, no technical errors or humiliating scenes came upon on your presentation. Everybody was excited when they went in the room and they were smiling leaving it, and for you that was the most satisfying thing ever.

You looked at the bouquet on the table, the whole theatre club gave it to you for your hard work and of course, Kiara too.

You run you fingers through your hair, today was a busy day. It was flooded with people and nerve-wracking, you haven't even had the time to talk to Jimin nor Wendy. You had seen Jungkook taking pictures on the play earlier but when the show was about to end, you couldn't even have a glimpse of his hair.

You felt your phone vibrate inside the pockets of your jeans, you fished for it and saw a message from Jungkook. You instantly sit up straight and inhaled deeply before opening it.

Its almost midnight, what could he message you?

From: Jeon Jungkook

Congratulations! Im sorry I didn't got to say it to you personally but hey, did you like the bouquet?

You smiled reading his message and you instantly picked up the bouquet and looked at it. It was really pretty with all the pale pink roses and a million star of baby's breath surrounding it.

Its like Jungkook itself, soft, gentle, comforting and beautiful. You carefully type your reply.

You:

Thank you. Did you buy it? I thought it was from the club? Btw, I love it, its so beautiful.

After a minute, you saw it light up and vibrate in your hands. Your heartbeay raises but somehow, it brings you comfort as you talk to him.

Jeon Jungkook:

Glad you loved it :) Had a fair share of it, I was the one who bought them though. Thought the pink roses suits you well.

You let yourself fall back on the couch as you muffle your scream and smile with your hands. You looked at the bouquet again on the table, your insides screaming too. Your phone lit up again.

Jeon Jungkook:

You're probably tired right now, I should let you sleep. Goodnight, Y/n. See you tomorrow :)

Your smile instantly fell, you still wanted him to talk to you but with all the things that is happening to you made him think that you're tired and wanted sleep.

Although disappointed, you decided to end the day with a goodnight sleep, wiping off all the make up on your face and washing yourself before you sleep. You knew you'd be back to normal again tomorrow, where you'll sit inside the four cornered wall, your butt numb and your hand gripping either a pen or a book.

The only good thing about being in that four cornered room was you're now back with your friend, Wendy.

And of course, seeing Jeon Jungkook.

"What should we eat for today?" She said as she turn to you, she even lowered her face just so she could look up at you as you read your book.

The glasses that was given to you to wear whenever you're reading were falling off your nose as you read, hair in bun and some are falling to your face. Nobody dared to make a sound with the terror teacher in front, sitting on her desk but Wendy was an exception.

"Whatever our cafeteria serves, I'll have to drop by the library before heading there though." You whispered, Wendy nodded vigorously.

When the bell rang, Wendy hooked her arm to yours as you walk on the hallways. "Let's go to a tea house on the weekend. Dont invite Park Short Jimin though." She said as she lean her head on your shoulder.

You chuckled as you look infront of you, "Are you still fighting with each other?"

"He's the one who always starts it." She pouted, like she was a kid telling how unkind Jimin was to her.

"If you keep fighting with each other you might just end up together in the future." You said as you chuckle. You felt her arms unhooked from yours and her glare on your face but you just ignored her.

"Im off to the library, go get us a table." You smiled before you turned back to her and entered the library.

You saw the lady sitting on the counter, her skin still pale and her ebony hair kept and sitting on her one shoulder. Her glasses on her nose as she read a thick book, she glance at you. A faint smile instantly rose from her lips.

"Hello, Miss Ley." You whispered.

You and Miss Ley became a bit close since you were a regular in the library. She was like your older sister with her age in the midst of her 20s.

"Are you going to give back the book you borrowed from last time?" She said with her soft voice. She's skinny and she always wear a white cardigan on top of her dresses.

You nodded, "Mm. The book was really helpful." You said.

"Just sign this and put it back on the shelves. I watched your play, by the way. It was really good, the plot was well written." She said, pushing a notebook with the log of students and the books they borrowed.

You smiled shyly as you sign the notebook.

"Thank you. Can I borrow another book, though?" You said as you straighten up but to only look down and saw a familiar name on the same notebook.

"Yeah, sure. Go on and help yourself." She said and closed the notebook.

You smiled once more before proceeding inside the room, shelves were aligned and filled with books. The tables were occupied by some students but not so many. You grip the book you got from your bag before you left it inside your locker.

You search inside the room, hoping your eyes would catch the guy that made you feel a lot of different feelings yesterday night.

Jeon Jungkook is inside the library, right now.

With the last message he sent you, its like he expected to see you today and you dont know what you'll say to him personally. Jeon Jungkook has always made you feel comfortable with his friendly and gentle approach but somehow made you feel nervous too, maybe because of your feelings towards him.

No Jeon Jungkook on sight, you continued walking and searching for the shelf you got the book from last time to put it back to its righy place. Jeon Jungkook is in the same room but that doesn't mean you'll see him, the library is big afterall.

You carefully push it back in when you saw the right shelf, you continued walking on the right section to find the book Jimin recommended you.

The flowers from yesterday were moved into a vase this morning because you didn't want it to die, and you're a person full of sentimental so you made sure to keep a piece of rose in between the pages of a book to let it dry and for you to have a thing to look back, because you knew everything is not permanent. Everything must go on.

And Jeon Jungkook is your senior, that means he'll graduate this year and that also means that you wont see him regularly again. You dont even know where he'll study so you're not sure if you're ever going to see him again. But if you ever do saw him in the near future, you're pretty sure that you'll still feel the same towards him. Afterall, he's Jeon Jungkook, the only one who caught your attention.

You lifted your gaze and saw Jimin's recommended book three rows above your head. You looked for a ladder to get it but you didn't saw one, if you ever did, someone was using it. So you tried your best, you stood with the tip of your toe as you stretch your arms further but still futile.

You were still trying to get it when an arm go beyond your hand and pulled the book out of the shelf. You turn around with wide eye as you felt a body behind yours.

Eyes meeting with a broad chest, a small distance with your face before you hit with his body. You slowly lifted your gaze and saw Jungkook's face. You step back out of shock and a strike of nervousness, your body hitting the shelf.

He brought down the book and stretched his hand forward. "Hi." He said as he flash that boyish smile.

"Hi," You said as you put some strand of your hair behind your ear, a sign of nervousness. "Thanks."

Your hand took the book from his hand and you hugged it to your chest.

"Are you going to spend your lunch here?" He asked as he step away from you.

You shook your head, "My friend is waiting for me at the cafeteria."

"Jimin?"

"No. Wendy, you probably don't know her."

He nodded and licked his lower lip, "Will you spend it here though?" You asked immediately, not wanting to end the little conversation right there.

"Hmm. I have a research to finish. Have you seen the notice?" He asked, and you're thankful.

"What notice?"

"There's a meeting for our trip with the athletes later in the afternoon. That's why I'm also finishing my project since I dont want it all piled up." He said and you nodded.

Not having anything to say, you decided to bid goodbye to him before you embarass yourself. "I'll go now. Wendy would probably eat my food before I even get there." You chuckled.

He nodded, "I'll see you later."

Turning around, you quickly went to the cafeteria. The students already settled down on their own tables but some were still walking on the aisle, like you. You easily spot Wendy's blonde hair and saw a guy beside her with black hair.

"Hey! How's your talk with Kook? Pretty intense back there, huh?" Jun, the guy beside Wendy said, you only knew him when you saw his face clearly.

Wendy smiled sheepishly when she saw how you felt awkward and flushed with what Jun said.

"Sorry, I asked him to check on you in the library. Didn't know you'll get caught with Jungkook. So how was it?" She asked. You thought she was going to apologize sincerely, but knowing Wendy, she will only fish for some steamy details that you're very sure never happened.
