the other side of the door

brushing the fringes of her hair, she ascended to the second floor of the building where the library is located. she wore some casual clothes, her hair tied into a ponytail, and her face wasn't painted in too much makeup. she's a simple girl not minding is she looked like a mom with three kids left at home.

opening the door while the books are in her left hands, she welcomed the old librarian with a cheerful smile. hello, mrs. wang! she chirped.
good morning to you too taeyeon the old woman smiled, here's some seongpyeon she got out the small box from the shelf and gave it to the girl, happy thanksgiving! the woman said. taeyeon was flustered, she didn't expect to receive such a thing. ahh, mrs. wang! you don't have to do that, it's to much she gave back the box and bowed. no taeyeon, insist she held her hand and squeezed it. take it as a treat.

with that, the girl was left with no choice but to accept the warm gift that the old woman gave. she continued to walk throughout the library and searched for a vacant table, but something caught her sight. something too familiar. she stopped in her tracks, her chest felt tight, she was breathing heavily. her heart was pounding fast, no it can't be. the person was busy reading a book, he was wearing blue sweater with a simple black jeans and his hair was combed neatly.

she swallowed the invisible lump in her throat and sat in front of the boy. byun baekhyun. she felt her cheeks heat up and her face looked like a ripe tomato. she smiled at the thought of her beautiful sight in front of her, as she was staring right at him the boy looked at her.
oh, hi taerin! he smiled. oh god pls stop she thought. what are you doing here? baekhyun asked. right at that moment she felt like she was going to explode any minute, it was too embarrassing.

uhm, reading? she replied, shit taeyeon what did you do? that was a stupid answer he chuckled, i know, but why are you here? it's still 8 in the morning, don't you have a class? she was about to answer but her mouth turned dry and her stomach were twisting hard due to the nervousness. i haven't been like this in along time she shaked her head and continued, uh, i don't have a class today she said and faked a smile. god you look like a weirdo now

the boy nodded and smiled sweetly at her, okay, but do you mind going with me to my friend later? i'll just give this book right here to him, he pointed out to the thick black book beside him he's a bookworm so, yeah, he requested it he asked. she bit her lip and thought for a while before answering the boy. she isn't used to going out with a person and most especially her crush. it's testing her self-esteem. should she go or not?

yeah, sure i don't mind she forced a smile. but really deep inside, she doesn't want to go. she was just forced by herself because you know, it's a chance to be with him. just a little chance. thanks he muttered.
the room was cold and eerie, yet she doesn't feel it because to her, her insides are crazy twisting and turning and her palms are sweating  hard. she is really sensitive to the cold, but now, she became numb of it. byun baekhyun has charms, and he, charmed the girl already.

kyungsoo was walking peacefully at the hallway, he adjusted his glasses who are tilting at the top his nose. he decided to go to the library instead to pick up his book because it's taking him too long.
he frowned at the thought of it, the boy is always like that easy to get distracted. maybe he was just playing games at the library and forgetting the main reason he was there at the first place.

he frowned on how silent the library is, it was strange. like something has been going on without him knowing. the cold air welcomed his presence, he saw students talking silently at the bookshelves face to face, ignoring others presence. his eyes turned to two people who are talking face to face at the farthest table to the left, near the tall bookshelves.

"ugh, where is that byu-" he whispered, and stopped when he saw baekhyun who was talking to a girl. that seem unfamiliar to him, he wondered how that boy managed to talk to a girl. like, really? uhh, is this even real? all he knew was that since he broke up with his crazy ex, he stopped talking to girls already. even ditching some invitations his friends planned to him.

his mouth turned agape, the girl was undeniable pretty. beautiful, to be exact. it was like, he just saw an angel. her black silky hair, her cute button nose, and her pink pouty lips. she is as white as snow, her lips red as blood, her porcelain white skin. heck, is this even snow white? all we know is that right at that moment kyungsoo was ike strucked by lightning at the back. it was like he saw stars shining right in front of him.

he composed himself and cleared his throat, walking straightly at baekhyun's table. byun baekhyun he glared at him. baekhyun stopped talking to the girl and looked at kyungsoo's deadly eyes. he was like staring at death, he knows after this he will be scolded on how long he waited for him. he knows, yet he didn't listen. it was as if he traded time to talk the girl whom he was fond of. secretly.

kyungsoo's fist slammed the table, causing the girl to jolt up and the people to turn their heads at him. they were shocked of course.
baekhyun felt guilty to what he'd done and he blamed himself because it's his fault. he lowered his head and muttered a 'sorry' to him. he knew that kyungsoo would get upset easily and get to sensitive over some things.

the younger didn't accept the small apology and snatched the book he was reading which caused the sharp end of the book to hit baekhyun's face. it resulted to a scratch, leaving a small line of blood on his face. the girl gasped and immediately looked to kyungsoo with a strange look and turned her attention back to baekhyun, who is touching the wound on his face.

she knew right away, that there was something wrong between them. and she didn't ask furthermore.
