Borrowed Books
Description
When Jinsoul reaches for that book, her whole life changes. She never intends to meet someone new, all she wants is some information for a project. Jungeun is just as unsuspecting and she, too, is hit with several realizations. A friendship blossoms between the two and although they grow close, a barricade is built between them. Neither wants to address it out of fear or simply to avoid any awkward feelings. Will they confront each other on the matter or ignore the elephant in the room? Will their friendship wither or will it develop into something that the two never expected?
Foreword
Libraries , I can't help but think. The silence is nice but there's something about all these books that bothers me. Something about the fact that I know that the book I'm looking for might not be here or that it might have been placed in the wrong section by someone who previously checked it out.
When I finally come across it, I still almost miss it. The spine of the book is worn out, the letters seem to be fading. If I hadn't looked closely, I would have missed it with the way that it seems to blend in with the books that surround it. Well, at least I found it, I think as I reach for it.
It doesn't move an inch.
I tug on the book again, this time a little harder, but it doesn't budge. It's jammed between multiple books so I understand why I can't seem to pull it off the shelf. I tighten my grip on the book and give it a good yank. Nothing. Maybe someone on the other side is trying to get a hold of it as well, I think sarcastically.

I don't like the way he touches her. Like she's some book he borrowed...
He touches every inch of her skin without a second thought, not caring whether he wrinkles a page or bends a corner.
