Brick needs time to research information. For making reports to teachers who teach art history. So I have been sitting in the university library since the afternoon. After eating lunch The library today was rather lonely. Aside from him, there was only another man seen. Standing and selecting books on a shelf some distance away.

And there was a plump young woman who sat thinking about someone in the direction of 11 o'clock. There was a single table next to a large clear glass. which can look out and see every activity that clearly happened outside Maybe she was secretly spying on some guys.

If spoken truthfully Not only today there are not many people in the library. No matter which day out of the 7 days, there are usually few people using the service. It's been like this for many years. From the time he was a freshman in year 1 until now he had become a senior in year 4, he had always seen that the number of people was gradually decreasing every year.

This probably comes from the advent of smartphones. causing people to turn to research from mobile phone screens instead Because it is compact, easy to carry, it can be used conveniently in almost any place. Having to carry or carry books around has become obsolete. and too ancient for the new generation

who want to emphasize speed The atmosphere in the library is no longer the same as in the past.

For Brick, the opposite is true for the general new generation. He likes to go to the library regularly. The reason is because of you. Which at this time does not know where it has disappeared to He had been searching for over 3 years, but he still hadn't seen her again. Since the first time we met at this library

“Dammit!”

The sound of a large thick book falling to the floor of the library was loud. Not sure if it's really that popular. But his ears could hear a funny “Bap” sound. Everyone sitting or standing on this floor They rushed towards each other as if they had arranged to meet each other. And the center of those many pairs of eyes was him.

It was clumsiness that was not intended to happen at all.

While bending down until the back is arched, the buttocks are high. to pick up a book that had fallen and lie face down It's about a foot away from your toes. A girl appeared out of nowhere before I noticed. Her hand reached for the book first when Brick bent down. As for her, she squatted down to pick it up and handed it to her, raising her head.

Suddenly he saw those eyes. Suddenly it felt like there was an electric current running throughout my body. Never felt like this before in my life. That is, my heart was beating so hard that I could still hear it as if it were ringing in my ears.

Why are the big, black eyes looking up? It has a surprisingly powerful attraction. making him unable to resist Even though she was wearing a face mask covering half of her nose, mouth, and part of her cheeks, But that made her eyes stand out even more. They were the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen.

I don't remember how long I was stunned. It was similar to what she was going to say with the sentence. or two sentences before straightening up Smile at him a little. Then he walked away and disappeared.

How can it disappear? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't picture the scene at that time. It was like he had lost one piece of a jigsaw puzzle. He wanted to punch himself in the face several times. who was so immature and stupid that he couldn't even say thank you Before I knew it again She disappeared without a trace to be traced. From that day until now

He was sitting there looking around everywhere. But there was no sign of that beautiful woman with magical eyes. He came to the library every day for a total of 1,245 days, wanting to see her one more time. But every effort and hope is lost. Where have you gone? I can't believe I haven't come here again since that day.

Brick was strangely confident that she still came to the library often. But why have we never met again? Even though I tried searching on other floors, there was no sign. Or will we have no luck with each other? Even though I had diligently met someone who I thought made my heart beat faster. He thought, sighing heavily.

Nid is a librarian at this university library. She has only recently been hired. I'm still a newbie and need to practice a lot. From an elderly librarian with experience She has been a person who likes to read since childhood. She loves reading and likes being alone with herself quietly.

I just want to have a book as a friend. You can stay in one place without going anywhere or doing anything for hours. Or maybe it's a day

The first time Nid saw that young man. I still haven't felt anything in my heart at all. She is very observant. and likes to look at other people's various expressions when they are not aware of it It's like you're studying that person's personality and personality. Through the behavior that he naturally expresses Which she believes is what will express his identity.

in one of the most honest ways

That young man was considered diligent. In coming to research and find information at the library. After observing for a while Nid then knew that he would go to the library every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and it would take about 1 hour for him to be in the building every time. She could watch him without him knowing.

With a special ability Acting in a way that doesn't attract anyone's attention. Many times she pulled a cart to collect books on each table. Then put them in order. So we could see his demeanor, which often caused him to act awkwardly. When I was reading a book for pleasure without being careful.

Since when, I don't know. She became addicted to craning her neck, waiting to see when he would come into the library. On which day is he late? Ploy makes Nid feel like his life is missing something. How did this young man, who was four years younger, come and sit in her heart? When?

“Dammit!”

The sound of a large thick book falling to the floor of the library was loud. Nid was putting books on the shelf when he heard. So he turned to look in the direction it had come from. It was actually Mr. It. Why do you like to do stupid things? Clumsy again Many pairs of eyes were looking at him with reproachful eyes. Suddenly, it was as if something had inspired her to make a decision at that moment.

Stepping out of the dark corner of the bookshelf and appeared before him By squatting down to collect books then handed it to him with his own hand As soon as their eyes met, It was as if an exchange of invisible electrical energy suddenly occurred. She felt it at that moment. From now on, everything will not be the same.

“Here is the book. Next time, you have to be more careful.”

Nid said that sentence automatically. Without even realizing it and also leaves a charming smile Make it engraved in his heart and never be forgotten. This was not intentional in the first place. But her body responded to her heart. stimulated by an invisible electric current When he was conscious, he realized that he had spoken.

and smile at the person who has been secretly watching for a long time I became nervous, embarrassed, and quickly turned around and walked away from there as quickly as possible.

Since that day Every time he appears She will quickly hide. in order not to be seen Which is not easy at all. With Mr. It very determined to find the woman in his heart He searched the entire library. Every nook, every corner, every available floor, every time you come. The important thing is that every day in a row lasted for 1,245 consecutive days.

Fortunately, he didn't know that she was a librarian. You probably understand that it's just people who come to use the service.

Each day, she had to act like an invisible ninja. Even though the truth is not Why must I secretly not dare to meet him a second time? I don't understand myself either. All I knew was that I was too embarrassed to face him. and met those eyes that held a smoldering emotion Even though my heart inside wants me to stop running away

then ran out in front of To hear his voice speak to her once in a while. But even though my heart wants one thing But the body disobeyed and did something else. She didn't like herself like this at all. And I don't know how much longer I can tolerate myself being like this. The other senior librarians didn't understand what she was doing.

But I have to admit that I will help him hide it. If Mr. It asks, Has a woman who looks like you ever come to the library? I will deny that I have seen it. But soon he will graduate from this university. She would be close to getting out of this situation of dogfighting soon. But deep down inside, a voice asked, "Are you sure?"

Or is it okay for the story to end here? Even though it hasn't even started yet.

Several months later..

Brick needs time to research information. For making reports to teachers who teach art history. So I have been sitting in the university library since the afternoon. After eating lunch The library is rather quiet today. He had this last subject left. If you collect all the credits, you will be able to graduate in your final year.

After getting all the details you want and searched the entire building for that little girl but couldn't find her like usual. So he finally got up from the table and left the library.

When he passed the entrance door Just a short walk down the wide stairs in front of the building. Nid emerged from the librarian's room. To check to see what book he picked up and sat down to read at the table just now. His eyes suddenly glanced at a mobile phone. It was probably something he had forgotten. Placed next to a Gothic art book. So she picked it up and looked at it.

And it dawned on him if he realized he'd forgotten it here. I'll probably come back in a moment. It's not a loss anymore. I had to quickly leave my phone with another librarian. and went to hide in the room for a while longer Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and prepared to step out.

“Wow!”

That was her own cry. He was shocked because he turned back. and crashed right into someone. In close range, unable to escape in time Therefore, symptoms of lurching and loss of balance occur. On the verge of falling backwards, a hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her hand tightly.

and jerks and pulls quickly Until finally, their bodies collided a second time. In a fraction of a second from the first time But this time the clash was very gentle. because the monastery was shocked She was looking for a place to grab onto to keep her body from falling. He was suddenly pulled towards him by a strong force.

The body is therefore automatic. By embracing him with full arms Just like those strong arms that hugged you tightly.

“Thump..thump..thump.”

I don't know whose heart beats faster. Each side could feel the rhythm of that dance. that miraculously resonates as one wave Their bodies were stunned for a moment. It was as if the entire world had stopped spinning for a moment. To join in enjoying the thrilling atmosphere When she gathered her courage

Slowly, he raised his head to look at the face of the person who had saved him. Who else could it be if not Mr. It? that she had dreamed of for many years Now he smiles. What a bright smile!

“Finally, I found the angel I had been looking for for a long time.”

He said these words in a trembling voice. Still excited and happy to meet you unexpectedly. Thank heavens that he forgot his phone on the table. She didn't wear a face today. Masks cover the face So he admired the beautiful face for the first time. What will never be forgotten are his eyes, as black as onyx.

As for her, who suddenly couldn't answer anything. I was so embarrassed that I almost wanted to become invisible and disappear immediately. When he felt his body being hugged tightly by him, Until you feel the warmth that is transmitted to you inside Even more embarrassed is Her own hand unconsciously embraced his as well.

This shyness immediately accelerated the reaction. causing the blood to pool on the surface of her face. until feeling hot Couldn't help but speak softly like the sound of a mosquito.

“Please release me.” But she was. who also forgot to pull away and let go of his own arms

“I'm afraid that if I loosen my arms around me, You'll disappear again And I can't accept it. Please don't run away again.” He stared deeply into her eyes. Both feelings Everything is transferred to the door of the heart. Uncover the truth hidden in the deepest corners. She couldn't help but avert her gaze and look down. Ready to speak indirectly

"Promise me you won't run away."

“Thank you. For books,” he replied, smiling.

“Huh?” She looked up and looked at him again. Don't understand the meaning of words

“The book you handed to me. On the day we first met Haven't gotten to answer thank you yet. The beautiful woman just disappeared,” he replied, laughing. When thinking about the events of that day She herself couldn't help but laugh.

The picture in front of what happened Could not escape the eyes of the two senior librarians stationed at the counter. Both of them were happy to be happy together as a young couple. Standing and chatting until you temporarily forget the others around you. This library has never harmed anyone. And here is another story that confirms that statement very well.
