(A/n: Thank you all so much for 121k reads! I know my schedule with updating has been abrupt, but I am truly trying my best for you all! School has been stressful [and since I'm on spring break, I will be with you all for a whole week!] and I've been trying my best to keep my A's and B's! I do hope I don't sound like I'm bragging, if I do, that is not my intention! I've missed you all so much and I'm glad to be back! I've been working on some things while I was away and I can assure you, I'm trying to gain my motivation back! I love you all and thank you so much for everything! I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful day/night! ☀️🌈💕✨)

Requested by: @Y-o-u-r_C-h-o-i-c-e (A/n: I got most of the way through this, only to realize I made (M/n) the librarian instead of Namjoon! I'm really sorry about that, I hope you can forgive my mistake!)

Song: "first date" by frad

• M/n is reading my favorite book in this chapter, which is called Contagion by Erin Bowman! I highly recommend it, but it is absolutely heartbreaking! •

* Also, please forgive me for any errors during this chapter, my little brother and I were playfully roughhousing earlier and I ended up accidentally hitting my head on the bookshelf really hard, but at least, it was me and not him! *

M/N's P.O.V.

My eyes were glued onto the book, not daring to look away. I was immersed into the world the book had thrown me into, would they make it out alive? Would they all die on the lone planet in the middle of the galaxy? Questions filled my head, but they were quickly pushed away once I heard the library doors open. I glanced up front my book, only to see a tall yet beautiful looking man walking up the stairs and towards the front desk where I stood.
"Hello!" I greeted, not remembering his face as I did with the other people who usually came in here. He gave me a smile and waved, showing off an adorable set of dimples. "You're new here aren't you? I don't think I've seen you before."
"I just moved here not too long ago." He answered, setting three thick books down onto the counter. "My name is Namjoon, sorry I forgot to introduce myself." I smiled, my cheeks beginning to burn as I took the books and scanned them back into the system.
"I'm (M/n)," I said, my voice barely coming out as a whisper. "I hope to see you around more." He nodded, another smile formed on his face.
"I hope to see you more often as well." He waves goodbye and began walking towards the philosophy section. I watched him walk away, but once he was out of sight, I returned to my book. My eyes once again glued to the page as the silence of the library surrounded me.

"Sir?" I looked up from my book, only to see Namjoon once again. How long had I been reading? It didn't seem like that long or maybe he was just quick at picking out books.
"You can call me (M/n), Namjoon," I remarked, scanning his books before heading him a receipt and telling him when to return them. "There's no need to be formal if we're going to be seeing each other more often." He thanked me and rubbed the back of his neck as he stood there for a moment, thinking.
"Would you... Never mind." He quickly dismissed what he was about to say as we made eye contact. "G...Goodbye." He began to walk away before I could reply. I just sat there and watched him walk away, I barely knew him, he would probably find me annoying if asked if he was okay. I let out a sigh, hoping I hadn't done anything that could've made him uncomfortable before returning to my book.

Days passed by and I wondered if I would see the honey-toned man again. I knew he would probably come back to return his books soon and I shouldn't worry about it, but for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about him. My heart seemed to speed up when I remembered his smile and butterflies filled my stomach as I remembered a small blush form on his face before he left. I couldn't have a crush on him, right? I had only seen him once, it would be stupid to have a crush on him already, right? I tried to push him out of my mind and assure myself that I couldn't possibly like him that way.
"(M/n)?" A soft voice asked, dragging me out of my thoughts. I looked up, only to see Jimin standing in front of the desk. He pushed his round glasses up before placing the books on the desk. "You okay?" I nodded, giving him my bed reassuring smile, so he wouldn't worry.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied as I scanned his books and handed them back to him. "Just silly boy troubles."
"Oh, I see." A smile made its way onto his face as he walked behind the counter and sat down on the chair that was beside me. "Spill, who is it?" I rubbed the back of my neck. I knew I could trust him, but how would he take it if I said I only talked to the guy once?
"Um... There was a cute guy that came in the other day." I began, fiddling with the sleeve of my pink sweater.

(A/n: Can we normalize boys wearing feminine clothing, please? Let them wear what they want! It makes me so upset to see boys getting made fun, beaten up, or bullied over for such simple things like that when it shouldn't be a problem! Let girls wear what they want and let boys wear what they want, please!)

"His name was Namjoon and I really want to get to know him better." He gasped and quickly grabbed my hands, hold them in his.
"Does my (M/n) have a crush?" He squealed a bit too loudly, causing a few people to look our way. "Sorry!" He shyly grinned as he let go of my hands.
"Yeah, I think I do." I reluctantly said. "But I only saw him once, I can't already like him." He sighed, letting go of my hands.
"Love works in weird ways, (M/n), we don't have a choice in who we fall for." He remarked, ruffling my (h/c) hair. "The way our hearts feel for someone isn't up to us, it's up to our hearts."
