Chapter 1: Strange meeting
"I saw you for the first time; yet my heart was beating fast."
I woke up; feeling mum screaming at me to wake up. After getting fresh I went downstairs for breakfast. I saw mum serving food for my brother and father and she gestured me to sit. I had a book on my hand.
I sat on chair.
"Dear, at least for now; find some internship and keep those books aside. You need to find a job." I heard dad say.
"Sure dad." I said almost with no feeling and a forced smile; looking all cheerful.
"What are you going to do today?" dad asked
"I'll be going for an internship today." I replied.
"That's good then. I hope you get a job after your graduation." Dad said and smiled at me.
I took my bag and headed out of my house and bid a farewell, "I'm going." And I started walking on the streets. While walking suddenly a figure caught my eye; I saw her face. She was wearing a white dress. And after looking at her; I again started walking towards my destiny.
I opened the door, "Hey Jungkook. Welcome to work. I love books; frankly if I could then I would spend my whole life with the books. I worked as a part timer in bookstore.
I saw my co-worker smiling at me. He was Eunwoo. He was calm guy. I went to him and smiled. He's really a good guy.
I started arranging some books. I kept them on their places and sometimes some books caught my attention and I used to stare at those books. While keeping the book I took out the book "Let It Snow" which I left in middle and I started reading and when I saw the time; I kept it hurriedly and started to work again. I kept a bookmark on the page where I left. Arranging the books are best.
I went back to the counter and while staring at the door suddenly it opened and revealed a girl; the girl whom I saw on streets. She looked at me and we had a short eye contact. I saw her staring at the books and I saw; she took out a book. She was reading and smiling and I also smiled at that thought that she must be enjoying that book. But then my eyes landed on the book and I figured out that book was the one which I left. I again smiled; unknowingly. I saw her reading and I resumed my work. But I felt nervous; all of a sudden. I just hope that she doesn't buy this; I haven't completed this book yet.
She walked to me and she was holding a bookmark.
"May I know whose bookmark is this? It was inside this book. And it's written that 'I LOVE BOOKS NO MATTER HOW THEY ARE, LET"S TRUST THEM AND FIND OUR THE DESTINY; OUT OF THEM.'" I quickly bowed her and said "I'm sorry. It's my bookmark." And I looked at her, she was smiling sweetly.
"Everytime she smiles; it makes my heart beat fast.
Unknowingly she was special for me."
"Do you want to buy it?" I asked her still feeling nervous.
"It's a bit costly." She kept that book and before leaving she smiled. She left with her pretty smile. Soon after she left I went to keep that book in its place.

My shift was over by now. The door opened and I stepped out of the library. "Goodbye Jungkook. Have a nice day ahead" I heard Eunwoo said and I smiled at him and left. I looked at the streets and it was raining.
"It usually rains here? I was caught up in rain yesterday too." I heard a voice
