jung jaehyun,

you were at the library today. i shyly walked up to you and just sat there for a bit. i didn't want to disturb you.
also, i enjoy being close to you, even if we're not interacting in any way.
your presence gives me comfort.
it's warm and magical.
so i just sat there and glanced at you from time to time, still amazed
by your radiant beauty.
as you were reading, your head was bent forward, causing your hair to cascade down.
i hesitated no more and patted you on the shoulder again, my cheeks
rushing with rose.
you didn't smile this time,
which confused me.
"did you uh... did you finish reading that book?" i asked you softly,
voice cracking a bit,
unable to look into your eyes.
"oh, that book. no, sorry. i'm not even halfway through it.
i've been busy these days."
you quickly said and spun
on your heel
to leave.
"b-but you'll continue reading it, right?"
i added and you didn't even look at me. you just nodded and walked away,
not even a backward glance.
just before you left, you gave the book back to the librarian lady.
my heart clenched.
my eyes stung but i couldn't allow myself
to burst into tears in the library.

why are you doing this to me, jung jaehyun?
