-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Alright pens down everyone, time’s up.”

The teacher’s statement was followed by some groans here and there and papers, pens and bags being picked up. You looked up to see Sophia scribbling as quickly as she could with her tongue sticking out in concentration, writing her last sentence. Students were rushing to the front desk, some carelessly tossing their essays on the teacher’s desk before bolting out the door as if the class was on fire. As for you, you took your time in tidying your bag, putting your pens in your small pencil case and handing in your essay. You waited for your friend and both of you made your way out of the classroom with slight smiles playing on your lips. There were 2 finals left and therefore, no need to rush.

“Ah, Jo Nami, just the person I was looking for” hearing his voice made you stop in your tracks. Your smile was gone and you rolled your eyes as he made his way in front of you. Sophia smirked and raised an eyebrow before she whispered “see you” and headed for the door.

“What now Jonghyun, I don’t have time for you. I still have finals and, unlike you, I study for them.”

“woah there cowboy. I just wanted to ask you how your philosophy final went and, for your information, bitter young lady, I do study.”

bitter young lady, really Jong, is that what you came up with today.” You scoffed and turned away from him, heading for the library. You heard him follow which made you quicken your pace.

“Fine Jo, hurry on up to the library to hide. Or is there something else hiding behind those books? Should I follow and find out?”

You heard his smirk in his words. You stopped in your tracks and turned, glaring at him.

“look Kim Jonghyun, my Monday started out pretty well for once and I plan on keeping it that way until I head home. Shouldn’t you be tailing Sophia anyway? Now bug off and stay away from me. For the whole week preferably.”

You could see he was slightly taken aback by your sudden outburst but he didn’t say anything and watched you walk into the library without another word. You never minded Jong’s teasing here and there since he was your friend’s friend; he introduced you to each other almost two months ago. Jong was known to be social, but he started to get on your nerves recently; his teasing had gotten worst and mostly directed towards you. He had stopped messing with the posh girls during lunch and didn’t hang out with the jocks afterschool. Instead, he’d follow you to the bus stop and try to make your books fall, or make you trip. But that didn’t stop him from flirting with anything that had a skirt on. You thought the extremely obvious change in his behavior was due to the end of the year approaching, the exams and all the stress but you knew there was something else; but what, you couldn’t figure out.

 

“ Dela 907.2301…ok. now Pat 470.109…ah, here” you went by, mumbling book call numbers as you went and picked them up from their respective shelves.

You had a History essay due and the last exam before summer vacation would be Psychology which meant you had reading to do.

“Hi Miss Yang, I’ll be taking these today” you chimed as you put the books on the counter, digging in your bag for your library card. Your head snapped up as you heard chuckling; Miss Yang didn’t chuckle.

“I’m here today, Miss Yang is in the back” he murmured in a deep voice.

But you were too struck to reply anything. This was definitely not Miss Yang. This was quite a handsome young man and, oh my, he was a student seeing as he was clad in the school’s bi-color uniform. His silk-like, jet black hair was just mildly covering his eyes. And what alluring eyes they were; big, round, and of a dark brown that seemed to reel you in. You stood there in awe wondering why you’ve never seen him before; juniors and seniors shared the same building and you all knew each other from freshman and sophomore year anyway; there were specific groups of friends but everyone’s face was seen at least once. Was he a transfer student? Maybe he didn’t know anyone and that’s why he worked at the library during free period?

“Here you go. They’re due in 5 days though; since it’s the end of the year we have to index everything you know.”

          You only heard the voice but couldn’t make out the words which resulted in you blurting out “yes, it’s really warm in here.” You only realized your mistake when you heard people in line behind you chuckling and whispering. You quickly picked up the books and headed for the door; without even reading his name tag or retrieving your library card that was still in his hand. You didn’t usually talk to students you didn’t know and usually managed to not make a fool of yourself with your friends, but now this happened. You’ve highly embarrassed yourself in front of a senior or maybe even a new comer.

          You spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the school garden, behind the oak tree that hid the pond. It was your little secret, your sweet and safe haven. Everyone knew there was a pond behind the oak tree in the garden but they didn’t come here. The girls didn’t want to dirty their skirts and the boys had the soccer fields anyway, and so you and your two best friends made it a small hangout spot. At first, the pond didn’t have any water in it and it was broken, the bench was so dirty it seemed as if no one had come for years and the grass was unkempt and filled with bad weed. Summer before junior year was therefore dedicated to bringing this place back to life. Taemin had brought some of his dad’s gardening tools and you had all worked to make it new. And it looked it now.

It was quite hot today and the sun was so high up, the tree’s shadow didn’t reach the bench. But that didn’t stop you from sitting and opening your books trying to concentrate on your readings. Besides, you weren’t going back to the library this week and you’d make Taemin or Sophia return the books for you. You had to concentrate on your Psychology readings and your History essay still needed an introduction and a revision. Besides, you already made a fool of yourself once; that did not need to happen again. In your haste to leave you hadn’t even looked at his name tag and that kept bothering you; why have you never seen him around. Or was he always hiding in that library.

“tss, and Jong says I live at the library. Yea right, I don’t even think he’s ever seen this guy”

“Which guy” Jong suddenly stood up from lying under the tree. Startled you stood up as well, dropping your books to the ground.

“Hey comrade ever heard of greetings? You scared me” you yelled as you picked up your things. The only response you got was a sly smirk.

“aww come on Nami, you didn’t mind me yesterday when-”

“WHAT? You were here yesterday? Jonghyun I told you to stop following me around. Good gracious can’t you see I can’t stand you around?” you glared at him and picked up your bag about to storm off. Just as you were about to round the old oak tree you felt his arm yank you back around.

“what do you think you’re-”

“just shut up. Just…just stop”

He was so close to you his breath was tickling your neck. You freed yourself from his hold and faced him.

“no Jonghyun. You stop. For good.”

And with that you left. You were a bit too mad to process what just happened. You knew Jong liked to fool around with girls but he had never tried anything on you. You couldn’t even explain what had just happened; why was he so mad anyway? You were thinking about how you were going to tell off Taemin for showing Jong your secret spot when you banged, head first, into someone coming out of the main door. Your books were once again sprawled on the floor.

“Oh dear, I’m sorry.” You mumbled to whomever it was while picking up your things.

“ah. Just who I was looking for!”

You were surprised to hear that; someone was looking for you and judging from the voice it was neither Taemin nor Yuna. You slowly lifted your head up to see who it might be and almost fell backwards. There he was, standing in front of you with a smile on his pristine face.

“you forgot your card at the library so I thought I’d bring it to you” he said handing it to you.

“I… well. Yes, thank you” you quickly took it keeping your eyes on his shoes so as to not embarrass yourself again.

“well, see you. Bye” you scampered off back into the building without waiting for an answer.

This last week was not going to be normal after all.

Chapter 8: Though about some grammar now: What really confused me was reading something like: Il prit la main de Mimi et l’embrassa. I have never heard of using a verb like this (l'embrassa) with the a as an ending. Is this because it's like talking about like the it in he, she it like.... uh I at explaining. You know what I mean right? Well anyway, it was quite confusing as I never heard of it and it didn't sound French well bc I wasn't used to it. But yeah I figured it might be because you talk about us in no one's pov. And we have never done that in French class – at least not that I know.
Anyway! Thank you so so so so so much for helping me out and writing a One Shot! I TRULY LOVED IT ASDFGHJ>KL as you may have noticed on my intense spamming. Okay now I need to write a chap for my story so excuse me wile I fangirl some more before I get to work!

Chapter 8: Uh wow okay I kind of fainted. Only reading cutesy fluff killed me right there PLUS IT'S A TAEMIN OS SO I KIND OF WANT TO SHOOT MYSELF BECAUSE ASDFGHJKL WOW THANK YOU.
Okay so I really had to google a lot, first because there's new vocabulary, second because there's vocabulary that looked new to me but I kind of learned them before, and third because I wasn't always sure if what I remembered on my own was really right and I wanted to understand what's going on so I had to spent a lot time on Google. Plus, Google translator is not always that good. BUT I UNDERSTOOD AND I REALLY TRIED TO DO IT ON MY OWN AND IT WAS HARD BUT I WAS SUCCESFULL AT SOME POINTS! AND I'M GOING TO READ IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THUS I WILL LEARN NEW FRENCH VOCABULARY AND ALSO BETTER MY GRAMMAR OF COURSE AND GET MORE BACK INTO IT. I'm still so thankful that you're helping me out that much. AND, NOW TO THE ACTUAL POINT, THE ONE SHOT WAS SOOOOO CUTE AND ASDFGHJKL I'M SCREAMING. WE LIVE TOGETHER. AND WE HAVE A CAT. (I'm not going to translate it again to comment so I guess I have to stick with what I know on French and what I remember and as I know chat means cat so) I LOVE CATS SO MUCH AND WE HAVE A CAT YEAH.

Oh my god! I CAN'T CONTAIN MY FEELS! ASDFGHJKL. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LONG COMMENT LATER I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW HOW AMAZING THAT WAS! THANK YOU! <3 (until later~ )

Chapter 7: The "beginning" of the second part is great too! Just the same reason as for the first part actually!
On the Festivity Day, I was sad Minho didn't came. ;a; BUT SUDDENLY HE WAS THERE YAY AND MR CHARMING RIGHT THERE TALKING LIKE THIS IS SUPER WEIRD BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE HIM TALKING LIKE THIS AT ALL BUT I LIKE PEOPLE TALKING LIKE THIS SO IT WAS SUPER SWEET.

And Taemin, sweet baby Taemin, HE'S NOT A CHILD HE'S A MANLY MAN AND HE'S Y AND MORE Y ASDFGHJKL

And now to the ending, it really seems rushed but it's fine.

So this took me a long time again (as in getting myself to reread and give you a nice long comment) but here I am. ;a; I hope you like my criticism-ish-comment. (:

Chapter 7: YOU REALLY CONFUSED ME WITH JONGHYUN YOU KNOW. But first, I like the beginning very much (especially because it's really similiar like this in my class. Just that I don't get out with a smile but a poker face, haha but who am I telling, nevermind this) So I really liked it. You described it really good, not too much, nothing missing.
Since it's a long OS, I'm trying keep myself from commenting every sentence. So I'll wrap it up. I IN LOVED HER CONVO'S WITH JONGHYUN ASDFGHJKL SO SASSY. I love him like this, like the way you portrayed him, and again ASDFGHJKL like YOU ROCK YOU KNOW. (You, not Jonghyun). Yo totally fooled me. I was like, wait, uh, isn't this a Minho OS? Yeah well, nevermind, let's see. You fooled me big times.

AND THEN SHE MET MINHO ASDFGHJKL HOW WHUT WHY SO CUTE. AND THEN BY THAT TREE AND JONGHYUN AND ALL MY FEELS LOL THIS WASN'T EVEN MY OS BUT I SO CANNOT ANYMORE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD KIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS. AND I WANTED THEM TO KISS JUST BECAUSE HELL IT'S JONGHYUN BUT MINHO! MIINHOOO

Gladly she's not like me. I would have hoped for him to kiss me, just to know how it is, but okay if I'd hate him like that, I guess things would change. But seriously I like how deeply she hates him because usually I've never seen someone writing it THIS way. I mean, there are often stories where she hates the bad boy type, but either not good or not realistic enough (for my like). What I mean is, she reeeeeally hates him. It's super realistic. Gosh I don't know how to say it. She bursts out and this is what I never saw. I feel like the writers don't want to "hurt" the other even though it's supposed to. But yeah.
And Minho came again whoo~ I kind of new this would happen. Earlier I thought about how thex would probably meet again and this was one way I figured OOOOR in the library.

Chapter 7: I'm reading this while I'm on my phone since I'm still in bed so once I get back on my laptop, I will give you a nice, long comment! THERE IS JUST SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
ChoNanami #10
Chapter 5: I was a little bit confused as to why she is sitting in only her undergagements but hey whatever suits you. ;D I would really appreciate if I would dare to do this. Especially if I know my man is coming home and he's all like his. NOT AFFECTED AT ALL AS IT SEEMS.
I really enjoyed this one. I do love all of your writings, but this one, I dunno, I really loved the plot if it. It was super short ( T^T ) but it was reeeeally good. I guess I like the "what are they even talking about, what is this what he/she isn't going to tell" part in storylines the most anyway, so I guess let this be the reason.
The sudden change of subjet was nice too! Just now they were talking about bullets, wounds and whatsoever and just in the other second she's asking for something and it brings up my curiousity (if that's even a word) and I want to know what's going on! This is what brings a story to the interesting parts that makes someone continue reading. And you did great with this!
When the last sentence came I was surprised it was about his name! ;D Yet again this is soooo short. ;a;
And I've never watched any Bond films so this isn't really familiar with me. And I don't recognize the song either! But I really like this OS. But, as you said, it's supposed to be short and it will help you to get back in writing! GET BECK NOW BECAUSE I MISS IT AND WANT TO READ MORE OKAY GET ON YOUR CHAIR AND SIT BEHIND YOUR SCREEN TO WRITE SO I'M HAPPY! Thank you. (:
