afternoon classes had just started for the six boys.

donghyuck, renjun, jeno and jaemin were joining their seats at the front row when they heard the girls behind them bickering about what had happened during lunch.

"i swear! he completely destroyed the school's library!" one of them told the other.

"that's impossible, the librarian wouldn't let him do that."

"you perfectly know him. he doesn't give a shit about what the librarian thinks... i'm telling you the librarian had her back turned and he just started randomly throwing books on the floor."

"this guy..."

"and when the librarian told him to stop, he pushed the whole shelf, making all the books fall and breaking everything!"

the four boys at the front row exchanged worried looks.

the school library was their safe place, and knowing that someone destroyed it made they want to cry. plus, the librarian was their second mother...

"i heard the boy was punished. he has to repair everything today."

"that's perfectly normal. he should be sent to detention as well." the girl huffed.

"because of him the library is closed! i had to borrow some book for mr kim's class! and i have no clue what i'm going to do now..." the other one banged her head on the table.

kindly, donghyuck turned around, a book in his hand.

"i'm sorry, but could it be the book of korean literature?" he asked.

the girl's face lightened. "yes!"

"here, you can have it." donghyuck gave it to her.

"really?!"

"yeah, i don't take that course." donghyuck shrugged.

the girl smiled brightly. "oh my god, thank you so much! you're saving my live!" she said taking the neatly plasticized book from donghyuck's hands. "i'll give it back to you tomorrow."

donghyuck smiled one last time before turning around.

"you really are an angel." jaemin said, his chin on his palm.

"she didn't even wish you a happy birthday." jeno pointed out.

donghyuck chuckled. "she didn't know and it's better this way. i don't want too much people to know. after, all the attention will be on me. and you know that i hate that."

"yeah, except when it's for giving the right answer." renjun winked.

"excuse me for being a brilliant student." donghyuck scoffed. "you're just jealous you're not as good as me."

"what's this discrimination?! we're as good as you!" jeno scoffed.

"if you were as good as me, you wouldn't need to take these two hours classes today." donghyuck raised a brow, making his three friends shut up.

"that was mean."

"yeah but it's my birthday, so i'm the king today."

"true."

"anyway, while you're having your lesson after, i'll pass at the library to see if mrs park is doing well and if she needs help with what happened inside the library. you'll just have to call me when you'll be done with your classes."

jaemin, jeno and renjun nodded, and, as if on cue, their teached barged in the room, throwing a stack of paper in his desk and greeting his students.

donghyuck shyly opened the door of the library but was grabbed by his collar and pulled backwards.

"can't you read? there's written that the library is closed!" the supervisor yelled at donghyuck.

"y-yes, but i-i n-need to..."

the door opened before the supervisor could take the boy away and donghyuck was dnatched from his grip.

"donghyuck!" the librarian exclaimed once she saw the look of despair in the younger boy's eyes. "don't be so harsh on him! i called him here!" the librarian spat at the supervisor.

"i-i'm sorry... i didn't know."

"yeah. go bother some other students." she said, pulling donghyuck with her inside the library.

"t-thank you mrs park." donghyuck stuttered.

"it's normal, donghyuck." she smiled, ruffling the boy's black hair. "well, as you can see... we had a little problem inside the library..."

donghyuck looked around, having to climb over multiple books and seeing two or three shelves on the floor.

"yeah, i heard someone destroyed everything. why though?"

"i have no idea." mrs park sighed. "but this fucker completely ruined my plans!"

donghyuck furrowed his brows. "which plans?"

"i was supposed to go to my son's end of year show in half an hour, but i have to keep this brat for two hours..." she said pointing to a corner of the library.

donghyuck looked over where she was pointing to see a boy, obviously older than him, sitting on a pile of books, his sketchers dirtying the furniture, and not caring about his surroundings. he was on his phone, his volume too loud and chewing a gum in the most inappropriate was possible. he was wearing a leather jacket and, from what donghyuck could see, he had piercings on his ears and eyebrows. it wouldn't surprise him if he told him he had some tattoos as well. anyway, this boy screamed problems. he was surely one of those bikers.

"LEE! YOU'RE HERE TO TIDY UP THE LIBRARY!!" mrs park yelled.

"yeah, i'm on it..." he replied nonchalantly, making a bubble with his gum.

mrs park rolled her eyes and faced donghyuck again. "so... he's the reason my son is going to be mad at me..."

donghyuck's eyes wandered to the boy behind mrs park who still hadn't moved a muscle.

"i need to wait for my friends for two hours, i'll watch him for you. you can go see your son, don't worry."

"you would do that for me?" mrs park asked, her eyes widening.

"of course!"

"you are an angel donghyuck, you deserve the world!" she took the boy in a hug before rushing out of the library.
