He got in the library. Why was he so nervous? He shaked his head a bit trying to pull himself together. As soon as he entered the place, he found a much bigger building that what it seemed from outside. Hundreds of high shelves were placed everywhere, different spiral staircases led you to more floors. Books were not only in the shelves but everywhere in sight: under the staircases' steps, at the sides of every chair and couch, little book pillars were placed around, was that a table made out of books? He just looked around with his jaw dropped. He used to think that "the library has every single book from the whole world" was a simple rumor but he started believing it now that he sees it.
 

-Look at that dude. He's freaking out -someone giggles. Vernon can't help but turn around to find a tall boy sitting on a table next to the door. Was he there all the time?
 

-Mingyu, don't talk like that -another boy sitting beside him said. He was too focused writing something to notice Vernon.- I'm sorry, we aren't use to have new visitors -the boy took his glasses off before looking at Vernon,- since some crazy guys set up a giant plushie in the mountains we only meet the same people day by day. People call that plushie "art" and they rather visit it while we are left alone with this wonder -he looked around the place- being forgotten... By the way, my name is Wonwoo and I'm the owner of the library next to this idiot. You can call him Mingyu, but idiot suits him better.
 

-Hey! Don't call me like that. You know this all exists thanks to m... -if looks could kill, Mingyu would be already buried. Wonwoo's glare made him unable to finish the sentence.- Whatever -he turned around to look at Vernon,- You've never been here, do you?
 

For a few seconds, Vernon forgot they were talking to him. Keeping in focus wasn't his strength. Maybe because he was ready and willing to open a book and wait for the magic to happen. Maybe because he was still trying to understand what Mingyu was about to say before Wonwoo cut him off. Maybe just because he gets distracted easily.
 

-Umm... yeah! I've never been here before. I came to have a look.
 

-Then you should start from short poems or any children's story -Mingyu approached him and took him to one of the aisles before talking again.- The first time may be difficult to come out again. The second will be easier. By the fifth story you'll work it out without a problem -he took a book from the shelve and Vernon's wrist at the same time. There wasn't any title on the book cover but Mingyu seemed to know exactly what he was doing.- Enjoy your journey -smiling, he moved Vernon's hand for him to open the book.
 

Everything faded.

A/N: The plushie Wonwoo talks about actually exists. It's called Hase and you can find it in Colletto Fava.
