The Librarian

05) Jimin

Taehyung didn't see Jeongguk for the rest of the week, both being busy. It was getting closer to the holidays and Taehyung was busy decorating his store- probably for the last time, is what he would think as he plugged the pretty Christmas lights into the outlet, watching the front of the store light up. And Jeongguk wanted to have a new book out by Christmas, so he was writing non-stop, and proofreading trying to get it done in time.  It was now December 8th, and snow was falling heavily in the morning. Taehyung was already in the shop at 6 AM. In fact, he hadn't left last night. It started to snow heavily around 7 and by the time Taehyung was planning to leave, it was to heavy and he didn't want to risk getting in an accident on his way home so he stayed in the small book shop, which he was more than happy to do. He closed his normal time, but opened up early, 'for the holidays', and not because he woke up early and was bored.

He opened right on time as soon as it turned 7 AM, the sign was flipped to open. He knew no one would come, but it was worth a shot. It made him feel better knowing Jeongguk would come back sometime, at least, thats what he said when they parted ways back at the park. So Taehyung could only hope that he would keep that promise. Just as Taehyung turned around and went back to the counter the door opened. Taehyung turned around with big eyes and gasped, "Jimin-ah!" Jimin smiled his eye smile and ran over to Taehyung, squeezing him in a hug, Taehyung squeezing him right back. "You're back! I didn't know that you'd be here," Jimin giggled and said, "I know I didn't either but something happened with the company so all the models got to go home, I got here two days ago but the snow was so bad. It was still pretty bad when I got here but I decided I should just walk sense I didn't think the snow would let up any time soon and I guess I was right," He ended the sentence laughing.

Taehyung chuckled and nodded, agreeing. Jimin started to look around, admiring the small book shop. "Hasn't changed sense I last saw it." He sighed. Taehyung once again nodded and said, "Yeah.. It hasn't has it.. When was the last time you were here?" Taehyung asked and Jimin took a second to respond. "I don't know.. around year maybe?" He said, quirking an eyebrow. "Possibly more, its been so long!" He added. Taehyung giggled and smiled his boxy smile. "Ah, it's been so boring without you here," Taehyung whined but still smiling and laughing. "So, did any new customers come in? Any hot guys?" Jimin said jokingly, not expecting the blush that formed on Taehyungs face. "Wait- what? Actually?"

Taehyung nodded shyly and Jimin grabbed the bean bag that had been stored away for a while, and sat down crossing his legs he said, "Spill. Whats his name, age, how hot are we talking?" Taehyung just blushed more and put his head in his hands he explained the situation with Jeongguk and what all happened. Then he ended it saying, "But the best part... Do you know the author Jeon Jeongguk?" Jimin thought for a bit and nodded, "Yeah he wrote some good books, but what about him?" Taehyung leaned forward and so did Jimin. He giggled a little more before opening his mouth to say, "He-" When the ding of the door opening startled them apart. They both looked over surprised someone came in- and in this weather especially. And there stood Jeongguk, holding the two books he had rented a while ago with a bunny smile on his face. He looked around and spotted Taehyung and walked over setting the books down. "Hey Taehyung! I brought the books back, even though its a little overdue..." He chuckled at the end and Taehyung giggled. He reached up and ruffled Jeongguks hair getting all the heavy snowflakes out. He wasn't sure where the confidence came from, but he wanted more of it.

Jeongguk had a light haze of a blush over his face or maybe it was from the cold. He cleared his throat eyeing Jimin who was looking at both of them with a smirk. "Ah, Taehyung! I'll go look around for a book, I have one in mind so the only place I could think of going would be here! You do have everything in this place," Taehyung nodded, smiling and Jeongguk walked off into the shelves of the book store. Taehyung turned back to Jimin with a goofy smile on his face, and said, "Yeah. Thats Jeon Jeongguk."
