The cafeteria resembled a bustling marketplace, chaotic and alive with the energy of restless students. A symphony of voices filled the air, blending with the clatter of trays and the shuffle of hurried footsteps. Food trays wobbled precariously in the hands of latecomers, who weaved through the crowd, backpacks swinging wildly and a look of urgency etched on their faces.

Jungkook shut the book he had been reading and proceeded to tidy up the scattered pile of books on his table. They were in disarray, strewn about without any particular order. With a determined purpose, he carefully arranged each book into a restoring order.

"Argh, come on Y/N-ah! I understand you like him, but aren't you bored staring at him like he is some kind of painting or something?" a poor boy whined at Y/N as she remained entranced, her gaze locked onto Jungkook, as if he were an exquisite work of art.

"Good thing she is busy staring at him, Beomgyu-ah," Yuna chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Otherwise, you would have died right now." Beomgyu let out a nervous laugh, stealing a quick glance at Y/N, who was completely absorbed in watching Jungkook. The relief was evident on Beomgyu's face, grateful for Y/N's distraction that saved him from an embarrassing moment.

"Shut up, you two. Let me concentrate," Y/N snapped at her annoying friends, her tone sharp. She refused to tear her gaze away from Jungkook, oblivious to her friends' banter. A smile flickered on her lips, unknowingly revealing her captivation with the mesmerizing sight before her.

"That's it. I am going-" Beomgyu started, mustering up the courage to confront the situation, but as he caught Y/N's intense glare, his words trailed off. He slowly sank back into his seat, swallowing hard, realizing it was wiser to retreat than to challenge Y/N's unwavering focus on Jungkook.

"God, this girl is scary sometimes," Beomgyu murmured to Yuna, his voice tinged with both amusement and apprehension. He cast a pout in Y/N's direction, silently expressing his mock dissatisfaction at her stern demeanor. Yuna couldn't hold back a giggle, nodding in agreement, understanding the mixed feelings of amusement and caution that Beomgyu felt towards their fierce friend..

Y/N was about to reply, her lips parting to form words, when a sweet voice halted her in her tracks. Caught up in their banter, neither Y/N nor Beomgyu noticed the presence of someone standing near their table.

"Excuse me," the voice politely interrupted.

Startled, Y/N and Beomgyu finally looked up, their eyes widening in disbelief as they beheld the one and only Jungkook, a gentle smile gracing his lips. Y/N sat there frozen, her mind struggling to process the enormity of what was happening before her.

"Y/N-ah, he is talking to you," Yuna whispered urgently, her words snapping Y/N out of her stunned state.

"Huh? Yeah. Um- what were you saying?" Y/N asked Jungkook, her words slightly faltering as she struggled to regain her composure. Her surprise was evident, her eyes wide and her heart pounding, as she tried to process the unexpected encounter with Jungkook..

"Can you help me take these books to the library? I can't take them all by myself," Jungkook asked, pointing towards the books strewn across his table.

"Yeah, sure," Y/N replied, her eyes lighting up with excitement. With a quick burst of energy, she eagerly rose from her seat, ready to assist Jungkook in carrying the books to the library. Her heart fluttered with anticipation as she stepped closer to him, eagerly awaiting the chance to share a moment with the person who had captured her attention for so long.

"Y/N, we have to go to cl-" Yuna started, but Y/N interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

"I will come later. You guys go," Y/N declared with determination. Ignoring any objections, she swiftly made her way towards Jungkook's table, leaving her friends behind. Her steps were filled with anticipation, her focus solely on the chance to accompany Jungkook to the library.

Meanwhile, inside the library, Taehyung and Jimin sat in silence. Jimin was determined to break through Taehyung's distant demeanor and engage him in conversation. However, Taehyung remained unresponsive, his gaze fixed upon Jimin like a motionless statue. Frustration rippled through Jimin as he sighed, feeling at a loss. But, not willing to give up, Jimin resorted to his last tried-and-true trick, the one method that never failed to capture Taehyung's attention, hoping it would bridge the gap between them once again.

"Taehyung-ah~ I'm sorry. Please talk to me~" Jimin pouted, his eyes adopting an irresistible puppy-like expression. Taehyung attempted to resist the power of Jimin's cuteness, fully aware it was a deliberate trick, but to his dismay, he found himself unable to resist.

"If you make me angry aga-" Taehyung started, only to be swiftly cut off by Jimin.

"No, I won't," Jimin interrupted, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. Taehyung couldn't help but giggle, the tension between them momentarily forgotten as their shared laughter filled the library.

"Oh, God. Not again," Jimin murmured under his breath, his eyes fixed on the library door.

Curiosity piqued, Taehyung followed Jimin's gaze and his expression turned serious. Y/N and Jungkook entered the library, their laughter and animated conversation drawing attention. Taehyung's smile faded and a flicker of unease washed over him as he observed the interaction between Y/N and Jungkook, his heart sinking with a mix of jealousy and resignation. Jungkook noticed Taehyung's intense glare but chose to brush it off, focusing his attention on Y/N instead.

"So, how do you know me? We haven't talked before?" Y/N inquired, her curiosity evident.

Jungkook smirked playfully, enjoying the friendly banter. "Oh! you are quite famous among the students. Aren't you Kim Taehyung's favorite?" he teased, a hint of mischief in his voice.

"Oh come on. I will be the last person to be his favorite. He always gives me an 'I will kill you right now' look every time I see him. His glare is enough to kill me," Y/N chuckled, her tone laced with playful exaggeration. Jungkook joined in her laughter, finding Y/N's humorous take on the situation amusing.

Y/N glanced to the side, only to lock eyes with Taehyung, who was shooting daggers at her. She couldn't help but gulp nervously as his intense gaze bore into her, finding his intimidating look genuinely scary. In an attempt to escape the intensity, she quickly averted her gaze and hurriedly made her way towards the library counter, feeling relieved to put some distance between herself and Taehyung's piercing stare.

"Good morning, Ajhussi," Y/N playfully teased the man behind the counter, his form nearly obscured by the towering pile of books they had placed before him.

"Yah, I had told you not to call me that, Y/N-ssi. I am still young," a voice called out from behind, causing Y/N and Jungkook to jump in surprise. They swiftly turned around to face the source of the voice, their eyes widening.

"Omg, you almost gave me a heart attack, Jin-ssi," Y/N exclaimed, her hand clutching her chest in mock dismay. Her eyes widened with realization as she quickly pointed behind her. "Wait a minute, if you're standing here, then who's at the counter?"

Jin chuckled, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, and gestured toward the counter. "Oh, don't worry. I managed to clone myself so I could have some fun scaring you two," he teased, his playful nature shining through.

Y/N and Jungkook exchanged puzzled glances as Y/N rolled her eyes playfully, amused by the situation. She turned around to face the library counter, determined to unveil the person behind it. With a swift motion, she moved the pile of books to the side, revealing a surprised guy who was momentarily taken aback by the sudden reveal. His face shifted from shock to a small smile as he met Y/N's gaze.

"Oh, I am Jaemin. I work here with Jin hyung," he introduced himself, his smile brightening the atmosphere.

"Nice to meet you Jaemin ssi, I am Y/N and this is Jungkook ssi," Y/N said, her smile radiating warmth as she extended her hand towards him. Beside her, Jungkook gave a polite nod of acknowledgement. Their eyes met, creating an instant connection.

"I haven't seen you here before," she remarked, a hint of confusion in her voice. Her eyebrows knitted together as she tried to recall the familiar faces in the bustling room. The vibrant lighting cast a gentle glow on their curious expressions. "Did you come this week or something?" she inquired, her words laced with intrigue, as if trying to piece together the mystery of his arrival.

"He is here for the past two months, Y/N ssi," Jin interjected, his tone filled with a touch of amusement. His eyes flickered between Y/N and Jungkook, a playful glimmer dancing within them. Y/N's cheeks flushed slightly, realizing her oversight in not noticing Jaemin earlier.

"You should check out your surroundings sometimes to see what happens around you without always focusing on one thing, you know!" Jin continued, his words carrying a gentle teasing undertone. Y/N's eyes widened, realizing Jin's point, and playfully kicked his foot under the table, a silent plea for him to stop before revealing any further embarrassing revelations.

"I have to go now. Thank you so much for your help, Y/N ssi," Jungkook said, his tone tinged with regret as he glanced at his watch.

Y/N's heart sank slightly, a mixture of disappointment and understanding crossing her face. "Huh? Ah, right," she replied, her smile tinged with sadness as she had hoped for more time with him. "I have to go too. Otherwise, my friends will kill me," she added, a hint of longing in her voice.

Y/N and Jungkook walked outside the library, their footsteps echoing lightly on the concrete pathway.

"What is so special about that jerk?" Taehyung murmured under his breath, his gaze fixed on Y/N and Jungkook as they walked away.

Jimin, who had overheard Taehyung's comment, chuckled softly. "It will be better if you ask that to Y/N ssi," he whispered, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Right now, let's go to class or we will be late," he added, tugging Taehyung along towards their classroom. With a final glance back at Y/N and Jungkook, Taehyung reluctantly turned his attention towards his studies, curiosity still niggling at the back of his mind.
