Chapter 1 - The Book Shelf

I sipped my hot coffee while smelling the caffeine of it. Such a peaceful smell and it can calm me down to the fullest. "Let it snow. John Green" I over-heard a deep husky voice yet a whisper coming from my back. I kept my cup on the table to look who was it. A tall figure with long brown pants with a comfy white T-shirt, rolled up a bit of his short sleeves revealing kinda big muscles on his biceps. I wanted to see the face as he was showing me his back.

I waited good three minutes to look at him. He was so into the book which maybe the book he mentioned earlier. Maybe it is good book to glued in like that. I gave up my all efforts as I had a pain in my neck. I started reading my book. I felt little cold breeze over my ears and a hair strand fall over my face. He sat beside me in the empty chairs.

But the long table was empty just leaving me and him at that moment.

Just for a second I wanted to see his face who glued into the book like there is no tomorrow. Woah the perfect jaw line, honey milk skin...just can't describe the view which I had besides me. I wasted whole five minutes to stare at him.

Actually I lost my all senses due to the hotness of this man. The cute thing was the pout on his lips. I don't know what is the line he is reading to do so. I let out

"Cute" yet a whisper only to heard by him.

Shoot he just looked at me and I couldn't find a way to look at my book.

"I see...who is the cute one here." he just said while looking straightly at me. I felt as I saw him by the corner of my eye. "Wh-what?" I hated myself to being that shutter towards him. "I heard you said Cute for me after your long glares at me. Am I right?" he said it like mocking me.

Y/n Pov

God his voice...so addictive. Shit...so he wasn't reading the book at all. Y/n...you fvked up. Now give him some reason and get out from here.

"Ah no...Are you new? I didn't see you earlier. so wanted to know that who is it? That's why" I said it one breath and again continue my reading.

Sh-shit shit what the hell did I just said? But little it was true though. I am a regular customer in this library and mostly my life depends on books.

"No... I'm not new here. But I rarely come here to read. To be honest, I changed my timings today to come here" he said again as he set his chair towards me like to have a full view of mine.

I still couldn't maintain eye contacts with him because I was so nervous at his voice. Deeply I thought maybe his eyes can rip me off. "Ah okay" even I said it without looking at him. Because I knew his chair was towards me and I was scared to look at him.

"Taehyung...Kim Taehyung" He wanted to have a hand shake with me. God no no not this earth. How can he lend his hand at me. "oh nice...um-umm It's Y/n. Kang Y/n" But I didn't give my hand to him. I was super shaking inside. My ego didn't give that hand to him to let him know that I was shivering.

"oh nice name." he clapped both of his hands to wipe off the embarrassment which he had because of the hand shake thing.

I chuckled softly and felt bad not giving my hand to him.

Tae's Pov

Poor girl maybe she thinks that I didn't know her at all. I was stalking you these whole months to talk with you directly. Such a innocent soul. The sad thing is all my planned things worked until she didn't give her hand to me.

It's okay Taehyung, she is all yours now. Don't let her go away from you. I was thinking while looking at her figure perfectly into the book. I can't miss this chance again. I wanted to know about her more than I found about her

"Favorite author?" I asked while adjusting my chair to the position where it was. I turned some pages of my book to earning an answer from her. God is she ignoring me? no right. I didn't do any stupid thing. I can't miss this chance.

I again asked as I looked at her. I could say she was so into her reading now. I waited as I started to look at her. Actually it was a soothing scene to see. I kept my eyes on her when she turned a page of the book.

She caught me as I was starring at her for the whole time. "Sorry. Did you ask something from me?" she asked me like a whispering secret. The idiot me just nodded to her response.

"umm.. can you say it again?"

"Your favorite author?" I asked without blinking my eyes.

"Mainly John...John Green" she said it slightly smiling at me. oh how cute...she has little dimples. And I was super happy to know my other plan also got worked.

The previous scene of "Let it snow" book and reading the title and the author name loudly only to let her hear was planned. So then that's why she wanted to know who was it. Okay today's plans done.

"Oh really? I don't have favorite authors till I found a good book with a good story, I don't care about the author" I said it like to let her know that I wanted to talk with her more. She closed her book and smiled at me.

OMG my heart...I feel my heart on my tummy now.

"It's okay to not to have a good author though. Even I do this mostly when I couldn't find any John's book" she just said it like assuring me.

"So did you read this?" while holding the book which I had on my hands. She nodded and "Maybe I have read it more than five time in a row. A good book" said. She tried to stood up from the seat.

"I'm sorry. I have somewhere to go now, let's meet again when your timings got wrong again" she said while letting out a small chuckle.

Shoot...how can be a girl this much cute. "yeah sure...y/n!" I said it on purpose to have a view of her again. Yes she again looked at me and bowed a little while smiling.

As I planned to sneak out to the library, I did everyday without letting her know that I was there. After that good day, I stalked her mostly two, three weeks straight.

Y/n's Pov

After the day I met him, I really wanted to meet him again. I purposely went somedays to caught him up at the library. But there was no any clues of finding him that he came. Sometimes I sat on the same seat which he sat on that day, and I imagined the way he was looking at me on that day. Little I didn't know that I'm missing this strange man after good one day.

I really wanted to meet him again. I don't know what is happening, but I wanted to meet him. So I made a small note and kept that in the same book which he had and at the same book shelf. I didn't mention any name on that note.

.........................................................

"Hey Mr.Kim,

Don't miss the chance of reading books. Just come & read. Then you will find a good author to yourself. ;)

~That John Green's Fan

..................................................................................

I wrote it while smiling like an idiot. I know this will never come back. Like how can he come because of this note. I assured myself it's okay to do this type of idiot thing to meet him again.

Tae's Pov

Thank god that I saw every little thing she did in the same book shelf which we met for the first time. But I was curious to know what was that note she left at that book. I was so far from her and I was wearing a mask like I'm a creepy stalker. Hahaha...I'm not a creepy stalker anyways. I waited little time to see her leaving from the library.

After she left I slowly went towards the book shelf and took the note from the book. I couldn't stop my smile as I saw the note. So... Taehyung she wanted to meet you right. I decided to do some trick on her.

"Hey Mr.Kim,

Don't miss the chance of reading books. Just come & read. Then you will find a good author to yourself. ;)

~That John Green's Fan

_________________________________________________________

Hey John's fan,

Same book shelf, @10am on 21st. Same seats.

~Mr.Kim

I was super nervous and happiness filled my mind unconditionally. The day I mentioned on the note was the exact day of tomorrow. Her arrivals usually on 9am.Because of the note I couldn't sleep peacefully till next morning.

I went to the library like a normal boy like the day she met me. So then she can find me easily. Time is 8.00am and I am sitting far from OUR BOOK SHELF.

To my surprise, today she came early and straightly to the book shelf. She was hurriedly look for the book she kept her note yesterday. Her face lit up and her cheeks painted with a cute little pink while reading the note.

Y/n's Pov

I was so hurry to know did he see my note or did I lost it already. I couldn't stop smiling and I felt my cheeks burning to find the expected reply from him. God till 10am? Just come now. Shoot...Y/n what the hell is happening with you... He will come anyways. Why am I this excited to see you. Oh god your effect is strong for me. I have to prepare something to talk. shit shit Y/n. Why are you so nervous? I didn't know that I just wiggled and slightly jump due to the excitement.

Tae's Pov

Who is she? Is she the same girl I stalked for the whole time. God what? did she just jump? I couldn't laugh out loud to seeing her excited figure and I was with some readers in the table where I was.

I really wanted her in my arms just right now. No Taehyung you have to win her heart first. Shut up you idiot. can't you see...she just jumped after reading my note. God!

I scrunched my nose and cover my mouth to stop my laughs. I wanted to see her reactions till I appear to her. So I waited good hour to check on her. She was looking at her watch time to time. I chuckled at her actions and decided to go for her.

I acted like I just came to the library and straightly went to the book shelf. She didn't feel my presence on her back so I teased her with tapping on her shoulder and I hid myself from going behind in the book shelf.

I heard her gasped sound and was searching the person who tapped her. I was clearly looking at her between some books in the shelf.

Y/n's Pov

I was so much tired to looking at my watch and cursing deep inside to the clock why is this getting so much time. I felt some tapings on my shoulder as I turned couldn't find anyone. But I saw a moving figure behind the book shelf. I knew that it was him because of his height.

I smiled at him. "Hey stalker come out! I saw you"...

I smiled at him. "Hey stalker come out! I saw you" I said it while smiling. Oh god he is having a cutest smile ever. The boxy smile. Aww...my heart left!

Tae's Pov

She just called me stalker? No way. But I maintained my smile at her as her face lit up seeing my smile.

"hey...did you miss me already?" I asked her to get a reply but she just smiled while looking down.

"Okay...what you want me to read with you?" I again asked her to see her pinkish cheeks. She just gave me a loud smile after covering her mouth because of the silence that we should maintain at the library.

"Let's go outside, you are making me laugh" she whispered at me while covering her mouth.

I agreed to her and she stood up from her seat. We came out from the library. "So you wanna have a coffee or?" I said it like I am a coffee champion. I know I hated the taste of it. But still I wanted to hang out with her. "Yeah sure... There's a coffee shop nearby. Shall we?" I could see she was so happy to see me. But these actions should come from me as I waited so long to have this day.

I don't know the effect which I did on her like this.

Y/n's Pov

A warm coffee with a handsome man. Oh god y/n what happened to you. Such a good chance to make him as a friend now. We both went to the coffee shop on the way we were just silent like strangers.

"Hey alley...two cappuccinos please" I said to my favorite waitress. At the same time, "Um..no just one please and I'll just have a milk shake." he said while looking at alley and looked at me with a concern look.

"Why...don't you like cappuccino? I can order just coffee then" I said with a worried face, as I didn't know his interests.

"Umm..no no I can't drink coffee as I don't like. So.. yeah" he said as I confused because he was the one who asked me for a coffee talk. Maybe he read my mind and "Actually I wanted to talk with you. And I know you love coffee so. I don't care that I can't drink coffee with you. Instead of coffee I'll have my milk shake. Deal?" he said it in full breath and with a wink.

I nodded as I couldn't control myself at his cute wink.

We sat near to the entrance of the café. "So what is with that note? May I know?" he said it like school teacher to a very bad student. So the very bad student was me. I couldn't make words to tell as I missed his presence in the library. But I managed to say "I was thinking about the person I met and did he come and read...just umm... you know. wanted to know."

"Okay lemme tell you a secret. Don't be afraid. At first I'll say...I'm not a stalker okay?" he said it with already scared eyes. "I knew you before the day we met, I'm really sorry. Extremely sorry for stalking you. But I couldn't help myself to follow you every day. Oh shit...no no I don't follow your ways or any other. I just wanted to see you at the library." He said all these things while looking at the glass of milkshake.

I chocked on my coffee as he said he followed me. My eyes went wide uncontrollably. "I'm so sorry, extremely sorry. To be honest, I wanted to talk with you, your reading sights so soothing for me. I know you will feel creepy towards me now, as I acted so damn bad stalker for you" his head still at the same way down.

"Taehyung...would you let me talk too...please?" I wanted to talk in between. He just widen his eyes and looked at me with confusion.

"You didn't do any wrong here, even I don't feel creepy about that at all. To be honest, I was searching you after the day we met. I really don't know why, I missed your presence. I know this is childish to say even we met straightly at once. I felt that I could trust you. So that's why I made a note for you. I knew that it won't be happen. But you replied me and came. Maybe we can be friends" I said the whole thing while looking at his eyes straightly.

I could feel he felt some assurance after my talk. He smiled at me so innocently and sipped some from his milkshake.

"Are you sure? you can trust on me?" he said with a cute pout on his lips. That was thing I couldn't help. "Ah don't give that pout Taehyung. We can be friends. huh..you stalked me right...so I think you know about me than myself" I said it like mocking him.

Tae's Pov

I couldn't process myself as the innocent soul in front of me. I just nodded to her idea about being friends. I knew that I had some feelings for her already. We spent almost many days, months while sharing everything between us. She was the cutest and the brilliant soul in front of my eyes.

One day I could say the magic words at her while I holding her hands. Her eyes went wide and I laughed at her reaction.

"Are those your magic words? I like you?...? Nah...My words are different." She said it while taking steps away from me. I suddenly felt my heart is going to stop as I waited her response.

"I'm in love with my creepy stalker! Don't you know his name?" as she winked at me. And she ran away from me while laughing at me with maintaining the eye contact.

"Yah you! was I that much creepy?"

THE END!
