Gemini. It's a horoscope which consists of  twins. To me I like to think that it's like two star-crossed lovers. Kinda like Romeo and Juliet except no one is dying. I always wanted to experience my own love story. How it feels like to be in love with someone. I definitely knew how it feels like.

I've been reading this book. I found it randomly lying in my house one day. It was an illustrated book. Kinda like a child's book. Except the character doesn't look like a child. He seems so much like my age. I don't why but I just keep finding myself reading the book all the time. Whenever I put it away in the bookshelf, I always find myself finding it again. There's something about that book which makes me attached to it. I mean of course put aside my feelings for the main character, but there's just something about it which makes me keep reading it. And I don't know what.

Jimin
I was just walking through the shelves in the library trying to find a good book. My mum has been nagging me all day and night to get myself useful and find a book or go out. None of these books even intrigued me. They're either really cliché or really mysterious. None which are to my liking. Not until I just found myself getting this one illustrated book.

Seems like a child's book but why am I still holding onto it? I flipped open the page and saw a girl who looks like my age. She was just looking up to the sky. Or in my point of view to me. She seems so cute and pretty well compared to other girls here. She seems different. Wait...am I falling in love with a book character? That's impossible. I mean there's no way that they could ever come to life anyways. I wanted to put it back on the shelf but some reason I just walked out with it. I swear I think this book is magical or something.

Seulgi
It was another typical day. The same old stuffs. Nothing seems different from any other days. I walked towards the bookshelf to get the book. I flipped it open to the page with the guy looking up to me. But something definitely seems off about it. I never always look into it. I mean I just flip the book open put it aside and just talk to it about my life. But now that I see this, there is definitely something off about it. He was not looking at me. I mean normally he would but for some reason there's a thing blocking him. Something is definitely up. But what is it?

Jimin
I came back from my job at the office and just threw all my stuffs away. That childish book is still with me. I ended up paying for it so I could keep it. Why am I doing things I don't usually do? I flipped the page immediately to the where the girl is staring up at me. But there's something wrong. The girl's expression is a bit weird. Normally she would be smiling and occasionally I see her laughing which was weird but I thought I was crazy. But this. I'm definitely not crazy. She was frowning and looking very confused. What is wrong? This is the same page I always go to everyday without fail and this is the first time I saw her like that. I put the book aside and grabbed my laptop. 'Book Changing in front of my eyes' . Nothing is similar to what I'm experiencing. What's the matter? Am I officially going crazy?

Seulgi
I paced around my apartment. No...there's no way that actually happened. Maybe I was too drowsy. Maybe it had been a hard day at work for me. Yeah... I should just rest and check again tomorrow.

"Hello?"

I turned around to the book. It was still on that page. But whatever was blocking the guy is gone. I can see him clearly. He looks just as confused as me. I walked slowly towards the book holding it up, staring for a while.

"I must be crazy." I heard him say again.

"No wait!"

Jimin
I stopped in my track. I was planning to close the book since I'm pretty sure I was getting crazy talking to the book. More precisely the girl. But she replied me. So she could hear me?

"Who...who are you?"

I hesitated for a minute there. I mean I'm talking to an illustrated book for goodness sake. This is on a whole new level of crazy.

"Park Jimin." I replied back with some worry.

"Jimin? I'm Kang Seulgi. Can... can you like explain what's happening now? Why can we hear each other? Had you been listening to what I've been saying sometimes?" She questioned staring at me.

"Wait... what do you mean? "

"Yah! Now is not the time for Justin Bieber reference. " she screamed to me.

No wait. How does she know about Justin Bieber is she's from the 90s?

Seulgi
"No wait.... Justin Bieber? Doesn't the book take place in the 90s?" He asked confused as me.

"Yeah. But I'm in the 2016. Aren't you in the 90s? How do you know about him?" I replied back.

"No wait what? I'm the 2016 and I thought you were in the 90s!" He exclaimed.

"This is totally mind blowing." I muttered softly.

"Wait.. if you're from the era as me. You must be real then?!" He asked quite excited.

I nodded my head as he just cheered kinda cutely. I bit my lips holding my laughter. Why does he looks so cute and attractive at the same time? How is that even possible?

Jimin

"Are you from Korea also by any chance?" I asked trying to test my luck.

What are the odds of actually having the book crush actually real? I stared at the book in hopes as she just nodded her head. OMG! We need to meet. I need to tell her how much I like her and all. No wait...am I taking things too fast? I think so.

"Let's meet. At the Han River at 4pm tomorrow. Uhmmm the secret code would be Gemini and Love? I don't even know what am I saying."

I smiled to the girl as she blushed in different shades of pink and red. She looks really cute and pretty. I can't wait to meet her tomorrow.

Seulgi
I'm so excited today. I'm finally meeting my crush. Well technically my book crush. I mean how rare is it that you are able to meet your book crush? I mean it's quite rare enough to be able to meet your celebrity crush how much rarer a book crush. I dressed up really nice for once. Wearing makeup and heels just for him. Who would have thought that I would dress up for a guy?

I checked the time. Its already 3.30 pm. It takes about 30 minutes from here to Han River. I prepared to walk put of my apartment when I saw what date is it today. It's Valentines Day. What are the odds? Meeting someone I've been wanting to meet for Valentines Day.

When I reached the park, I was really anxious. What if everything backfired? I mean I even brought the book with me just in case. I looked around for anyone who looked like Jimin. There's still no sign of him anywhere. It was already 6.30. I was going to leave at 5.30 but I stayed for some reason. I waited for another 30 minutes. If Park Jimin refuses to meet with me without a proper reason. I give up on love and books forever.

I checked my phone time. 7 pm. I looked around once again to search for him. No sign of him anywhere still. It was already dark. I grabbed my stuff angrily as I walked away slowly when I saw someone running around. I squinted a bit to get a clearer view.

Jimin

I've been walking around for like nearly 2 hours. I mean yeah I was late for like an hour but that was because I was preparing for her surprise. I mean it's Valentines Day and I bet she would love some kind of surprise. But for 2 hours, I still couldn't find her. We should've planned better. I mean at least exchanged numbers or something. I'm literally walking around here aimlessly. Just as I was about to give up, I felt someone hugging me from the back. I spun around and saw her there. Looking much real and beautiful as ever.

"You're actually real." She whispered hugging me once again.

"Yeah. Happy Valentines Day, Seulgi." I whispered back hugging her back with the balloons on my hand.

"I never actually thought that I would meet you. But look now. Thank you for being real." she whispered again under my shirt.

"You too." I whispered back kissing her forehead.
