V POV

Jungkook and I walked out of the classroom quietly as school finally finished. I had no idea where he was taking me but the look on his face told me not to question him.

We walked farther until we reached the school library. He opened the door for me, motioning for me to get inside before him. I stared at him confusedly then walked in. He shortly followed right after me and started walking past me.

It had been so long since I had been in the library and I forgot how I really enjoyed the smell of books. I could see the surprised and worried looks of students around me as I was actually at the library! I looked around and was fascinated by the generous amount of shelves with books. They were filled with books of different genres and uses. I saw people on their laptops writing papers, doing research, plain studying and those who just do reading for their free time.

I was in awe of the strange sight surrounding my vision that I did not notice I wasn't even following Jungkook anymore. I kept walking straight, looking everywhere, that I bumped my forehead at a book shelf. I hissed at the harsh contact between me and the wood and rubbed my forehead harshly. "Really? First my cheek and now my forehead!?" I whispered to myself.

"If you weren't so clumsy and stupid then maybe your face would still be in tact right now." Jungkook said. I huffed then turned away, about to walk away, when my hair got pulled back. "Ow!" I whined. I covered my whole face and head with my arms as I whisper-shouted, "Why'd you do that!?"

I suddenly felt hands pushing my arms from my face away as his hand pushed my hair out to look at my forehead. "Now you've got a lump on your forehead." He pointed out casually. I turned red at the close proximity that I pushed his hand away then covered the lump with my hand then avoided eye contact.

He continued walking towards a certain shelf, while I walked right behind him. We stopped at a book shelf quite isolated from the others. It seemed like he was finding for something in that shelf. I stood quietly beside him and started looking at books too since I had nothing to do.

"Healthy Diet, Human Bodies Need, Fit and Food..." I read out the book titles in my head. I guess this was the shelf for lifestyle or something like that. Due to my curiosity, I crouched down and looked at the books on the lower part of the shelf. I scanned over the books and saw one that said "How To Be Happy" which got me intrigued. I reached for it and was about to open the book when Jungkook's leg clashed with my crouching position as he didn't know I was there.

We both fell out of balance as I hit the ground first, then him following.

Jungkook POV

I can't find the right books for my research paper. I scanned the shelf carefully as I was walking unknowingly to my right that there was someone crouching down on the floor.

Suddenly as I was moving, there was something blocking my way, making me stumble down. "Hey hey!!!—" I looked down quickly and saw V crouching on the floor. Not having any time to hold unto something, we both fell down with a grunt.

I opened my eyes to see V sitting on his butt, torso up and arms at the ground with eyes blown wide at me. I looked down at our position to realize I had my knee in between his thighs, intimately close to his crotch. I raised my eyebrow as I looked back at him, "What the fuck were you doing on the fucking ground?"

He stumbled over his words, stuttering a thousand times until he spat out, "I-It wasn't my fault! You were the one n-not looking at w-where you're going! Just wanted to look at the books on the bottom..." He murmured the last part.

I rolled my eyes then stood up, holding out a hand to help him up. He didn't accept them and forcefully stood himself up making himself wince. I went back to finding the appropriate books for my research as he stood quietly behind me with his head down.
