-Y/N-

Riiiinnggggg

"Uh oh-well! Seems like I'll have to leave you all hanging here for the day!" As the words leave Mr.Park's mouth there is groaning and exhausted huffs leaving the pupils mouth heard around the class with only some sighing out in relief.

Me, I am those people cause hell I wanna get outta here- They took my phone again and before I get too frustrated it's good that I leave this room.

This was supposedly the last class for me in the light of the fact that the class which will be starting soon is not of my course. Making me more eager to leave but of course we can't stand to leave until Mr.Park does.

Mr.Park clears his throat rather too loudly to gain everyone's attention which we all pay at once, he smiles arrogantly before speaking "I'll take my leave, have a nice day and study hard but don't stress too much."

Nah! You get no choice here, you stress if you study no matter what. It comes all together in a package. It'd be better if he didn't go all about not stressing ourselves for studying cause the sole reason for half of the population of the students stressing is studies itself.

Studies have proved the fact.

He stands there in his spot waiting for something but receiving nothing but blank stares from everyone. An exasperated sigh leaves Mr.Jeon before he speaks "Stand up all of you"

"Right!'' The class president is the first one to react by standing up realizing that we are supposed to bow. Then there are others following suit, some standing up enthusiastically, some lazily swaying themselves up to pay some respect and then there are some who are still looking around confused.

I stand up as well but like a normal person would, not jumping or lazily moving my limbs but rather standing straight with what I notice from the side of my eyes that Kris stands as well with me just like a normal person.

I turn my face to give a glance to find him throwing a smile of acknowledgement towards me before I turn back to look at Mr.Park.

We all bow together while the nonchalant "Thank you sir" is being spoken like a sing-song. The bows also vary in types from what I have been witnesses of before -some are not even probably bowing just hanging their head down but that's enough for our 'Oh-so-dramatic-but- understanding-Principal' Who smiles before making his way out proudly.

"Cocky" I mutter as the rest of the class drowns in murmurs and meaningless talks all over again. I hastily took my belongings and was ready to leave,clearly not minding the still standing teachers in the class knowing they don't stop students after the bell rings but someone calling my name stopped me.

"Y/N!" 

With my lips stretched in a thin line I exhaled before turning around to the speaker- Class president, I raised a brow questioning his existence-I mean why he called. He walked closer before stopping a good safe distance away and started speaking.

"Uh so you know meㅡ"

"No I don't" I blankly reply to which he gulps with his eyes widening, looking baffled and taking a step back. He clasped his hands together rubbing them before continuing "Right,wait" he gave an offended look realizing my previous word.

Slow.

"You don't know me?!" He gasps a bit too exaggeratedly to which I remained unfazed before speaking "Do I need to?", "Ofcourse I am the Class president-" 

"Yeah that I know"

"At Least something-" he started off again but of course I cut him off again. "Only that I know about you and I don't wanna know more, I have some other things to do so, excuse me."I give a short head bow before turning but he calls again. "Wait Y/N!" 

Why does he not understand?

I give him a tired look as he comes closer. "Listen Y/N I just wanted to ask for your company-" I opened my mouth to speak but he raised his hands to stop me before continuing."-let me finish first.I wanted your company to the library any day you are free because I also like reading books and I like having someone's company but no one here would be ready to give me or even if they will they keep on bugging me" 

"Okayyy and how do you know that I like reading? " I question crossing my arms across my chest "Oh that I have noticed you reading something or the other in the library" he smiles proudly by the end of his sentence as I gave a look with my eyes narrowed and brows furrowed "So you basically stalk?" 

"Oh my no no- I just saw you many times when I go there for teachers work"

"Right teacher's pet" I look away before looking back at him to find him giving another offended look."What don't you get offended it's true"

"Yeah whatever, so you free some day?" I think about it before interrogating him "What's your name?" His lips formed into a thin line before he replies "Juntae, Kang Juntae"

Ah like Bond, James Bond tch.

"Do you have any classes left?" I further ask "Yeah Physics after" he raises his hand to take a look at his Rolex "45 minutes"

"Are you the type to get carried away?"

"Not always" I nodded,at least he gets what I asked. There was this one time when I asked the same question to a Junior from a class below,who joined me in the library out of nowhere and started talking. He deadass replied with "No am heavy, no one can carry me away" 

Till this day I could feel the dread I felt at that time and how quick I was to leave that place. 

Getting back on trackㅡ I mean James Bond I shrug and reply "Then you can join me,am going there as well but you don't disturb while I read eh?" 

"God's swear I won't" he raises his hands up as if surrendering which made me scrunch my nose- he's weird"Wait up then,I'll bring my things" I nodded, like I was already waiting till now. My eyes wander around the class filled with everyone still talking or some goofing around.

'Do they not have class to attend?' I questioned to myself before a loud feminine voice made me look to the front where the two teachers stood."Mr.Jeon~"

The 'popular girl' purred loudly while skipping to him. I swear I saw both him and Mr. Jimin giving an irritated look before faking smiles. But I didn't have to conceal the annoyed look off my face "You might also not know her" 

Juntae spoke from next to me.I didn't even notice him coming back but I nodded nevertheless "The least I know is that she is kinda "Popular" among the boys"I air quoted the word popular earning a chuckle from the boy beside. We both observed the way she was trying her Oh-so-best to Flirt while Mr.Jeon kept on prying her hands away from his arms and Mr.Jimin still looking irritated. 

We both looked at each other with scrunched faces before bursting out into ugly laughs making both the sympathetic teachers look at us cause we were literally standing some feets away from them. I felt their eyes on me but I was too busy laughing to give a toss.

How ironic that some minutes ago I was straight out declining Juntae but now we are both laughing ugly laughters.It happens if you share a somewhat same mindset as mine.I stopped to catch my breath. Soon noticing  Juntae squatting down on the floor with his hands on either side on the floor to prevent himself from falling while laughing.

Indeed ugly laughs.

He soon stood up whilst trying to catch his breath and me preventing another laugh to escape."Oh God! You should have seen your face " he spoke stifling a chuckle.I copied the actions before exclaiming "Same goes for you Juntae '' he lightly chuckled because of the dramatic way I pronounced his name while I just smiled.

"By the way her name is Munje" he seriously tried so hard to control his laugh but ended up snorting a laugh which ultimately made me burst again.

Again I felt the Teachers gaze on us, now glaring at us along with some about nine to ten students left in class eyeing us strangely. We together sprinted out of the class still laughing ugly laughs.

Me clutching my stomach while taking the support of the wall to prevent myself from tripping and Juntae was literally on the floor now wiping his tears.

If you are wondering what's so funny it's just her name.Munje (문제) means - Problem.

I was getting back to my normal self but Juntae on the other hand seemed to fail in his trying to stop the funny noises escaping his mouth."Juntae get up now, we need to go to the library as well" I was amused when all of a sudden all expressions washed away from his face and he got up instantly with a straight face. Maybe realizing that he just exposed his goofy side that he has been hiding away cause as a president you'd rarely find him misbehaving or laughing too much "Right, Ahem sorry for that" he picks his bag up from the floor before flinging it on his shoulder "Ay! You don't need to apologise for that Duh!" I speak while walking next to him with my hands tucked in my trousers pocket and his one holding the strap of his bag on his right shoulder and other on his side.

"I- I didn't misbehave did I?" He clearly was disappointed with himself for no reason.I scoff baffled before casually replying "What's misbehaving in that bruh! You were just laughing like anyone would''

"I- nevermind" he huffs as his shoulders bend downward in shame? "No speak, I don't judge but I'd like it if you take things out your chest" I tap on his chest close to where his heart is before looking ahead. We were close to the Library and the walk wasn't too long nor too short. He had his eyes on me looking for I don't know something but I kept my unbothered façed. He smiled before looking ahead himself as the silence lingered.

My turn.

Now I was the one having my eyes on him.He's......tall damn I feel small.He had a nice build not thin like a stick and not too fat like a burger,well I won't mind even if he was like any of them, what matters is what's on the inside.

No, not inside his pants but inside as in his heart and brain.

His light brown tanned skin made him look attractive. Judging by the view of his side profile. He has a defined jawline but a bit chubby cheeks-how's that possible? His ear had a single piercing with nothing worn on them at the moment. His dark brown hair parted slightly in the middle giving half a view of his forehead rest covered by his bangs and the slight undercut which suited him well.

He had a pout on his lips which brought a smile to my face before I turned my head back to keep my eyes ahead."So....any particular author you got interested in?"I questioned entering the doors leading to the library. The big room filled with silence and bright with the lighting in the room along with the sunlight entering from the large french windows built on one side of the room where the seats were assembled for the students. The only smell I could sniff was of books and books. 

On the left side of the room were shelves and shelves,filled with the thing that this place has as its possession-books."No one in particular I read whatever I find interesting" 

Juntae replied in a low voice, restraining himself from spoiling the deafening silence of the cozy,warm and huge room .Believe me when I say I spent half of my school life here.

I stopped to face him and so did he. "Which genre?" I still kept my eyes wandering around waiting for his reply and also thinking about what I would like to read at the moment.

"Same nothing in particular but hey! You got some in mind right?"Nodding, I made him shush himself with my finger on my lips because his 'Hey!' was well loud "Yeah am going for Alchemist, you can check from that genre"

"Alchemist...." he tapped his index finger on his cheeks while pondering on the mentioned book as we walked towards the area which had books from the genre we need "hold up-is it the Alchemist I think it is?" Quirking a brow up I look at him " Which Alchemist are you thinking about? So far I know only one of 'em" 

"By that dude....what was his name right, Paulo Coelho!" 

"Um Hmm right guess that's his name so what about it?"

"Eh Philosophy fiction akay.....you got any recommendations here?"He searched for a suitable book while I searched for the one I needed to read. I swear I saw that here a day before."Yeah you can try The trial by Um right Franz kafka" I mentioned the book I read a few weeks ago from the same genre while I picked up one of the book- 1984 whose cover was quite catchy for my eyes which apparently was a Blue eye with a white background and then went on to read it's summary.

[[ The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia"-a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions-a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time. ]]

Okayyy, I'll try this other ti-"Wah the summary is quite too much interesting"I looked back upon hearing his voice close to my ear "Dude shoo shoo will ya? and yeah it is but you should definitely give The Trial a try" and I kept the book back on its respective place before mumbling "Where the hell is Alchemist? " 

"Here" he shoved the book I was searching for right in front of my face bringing a smile on my lips before I spoke a "Thank you" wholeheartedly before clutching the book in my own hands "Yeah you just by passed it and picked this" he pointed on 1984 making me realize that both the books were kept close by.I nodded as he continued "and can I get a summary for The Trial?" 

"Oh yeah I don't remember it word by word but it's about a respectable bank officer who is suddenly and inexplicably arrested and now has to defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information,it's really interesting"

"Hmm....I was testing you tho"

"Huh? Testing?"He nods,giving a small smile before showing the book that I have been talking about that he had on his other hand " I found it easily,I was testing if you remembered it."

That made me scoff and I turned around to walk towards an empty seat with him following "Duh! Of course I remember it Juntae"and we took our seats after keeping our books on the table and bags on the vacant seat right by our sides.
