library

@jang haebyul *raises a brow at your words and then turns her gaze away from you to look at the book in your hands, this situation making her get more annoyed than before in some strange way as she didn't use to get mad at little things like these*
*watches you carefully when you turn the book and meets her eyes with yours the moment you point at the reviews, her eyes narrowing slightly at you before speaking in a low tone, aware that we're in the library*
Well, I want to read it. Isn't that why books are here? So people can read them?
*realizes the rudeness of her words and tilts her head, reaching her hand up to her temple to slowly massage it while closing her eyes for a brief moment before opening them and looking at you once again*
I'm pretty sure I saw the book first though. Besides I'm sure there are a lot of other interesting books you can read.
*with this, takes the book from your hands, running her eyes along the title before motioning her head to the young-adult shelves, a cocky look appearing on her face as she sighs softly, the words leaving a little louder this time*
Find another one. Or wait until I finish reading this one.
*offers you a toothy grin before making her way to her table a few meters away from the shelf, her expression getting serious when she reaches the table and sits down in front of her laptop, fixing her glasses when looking down at the screen*

@song qian *jerks awake the instant a young student a few chairs down from me slams his books against the table's surface in a frustrated huff* *jolts up from the table, one of my notebook papers sticking to my cheeks as I glance around in sleepy confusion*
Oh...
*peers around at the wooden shelves and the colorful array of books before turning to look back at the assortment of pages and novels set in front of me*
Oh ... Work. I forgot...
*my fingers slowly peel the paper off of my face and I grab for a pencil, opting to brainstorm again* *remains in place for a good two minutes or so before releasing a sigh, knowing all the while that my heart wasn't in writing today* *sends one more disappointed look at the blank, white pages before standing to my feet, knocking my chair back with the brunt of my disappointment*
Maybe if I read something, my head'll get back in the game...
*murmurs softly to myself, fully-aware that I'm actually just seeking a chance to procrastinate* *heads immediately to the young-adult section with a relieved smile, inhaling the scent of worn pages and printing ink*
Let's see now...
*plucks a few books out by their spines and skims the prologues with vague disinterest* *huffs silently and stuffs the novels back in their respective places, spotting another book with a rather intriguing cover* *reaches for it immediately, not even noticing the woman next to me until you speak*
Hmm?
*glances at you and tilts my head in confusion, peering up at the book then casting a gaze back towards you*
Oh! Erm... I do actually.
*though I'm aware that I don't NEED the book, I'm driven desperate to procrastinate, but curiosity takes over anyway* *takes the book down and turns it over in my hand, eyeing the title on the front cover and the reviews on the back*
I mean... What do you need it for? Clearly, we've got good taste according to... *holds up the book and points to a few of the quotes* According to these people. It'd be a waste for me to just let it go like that, right?

@jang haebyul *after hours of trying to write something in her office, enters the library with her laptop in hand, then slowly makes her way to the upstairs area, taking a look around and realizing how empty the library is today*
*feels slightly relieved, thinking to herself that maybe now she will manage to write something decent while walking to one of the many empty tables in the back*
*settles her laptop on the table and slides her brown bag off her shoulder, placing it on the table to take out a couple of folders, a small notebook and her black rimmed glasses before hanging it on the chair*
*sits down at the table and turns the laptop on, grabbing her glasses and putting them on before looking around once more, this time seeing a couple of people walking in front of her*
*sighs quietly and turns her gaze back to the laptop's screen, opening the script she had been writing in her office and wrinkling her nose when reading the sentences she wrote*
What the heck did I write?
*mumbles to herself and scratches her head, debating on what to do with what she has and deciding to delete everything and start again*
*keeps her fingers a couple of inches away from the keyboard, thinking of what to type and letting out a frustrated sigh when no words come out*
*drops her head on the keyboard and lightly hits the table with her fist, wanting to hit it harder but at the same time being aware that she's in the library*
*stays in the same position for a couple of minutes before slowly lifting her head up with her hair in front of her face and with some of it covering her lens*
*blows her hair away from her face and then stands up from the chair, thinking to herself that maybe if she reads something an idea will come to her mind*
*makes her way to one of the shelves and runs her eyes along the books, mouthing some of its names quietly before starting to chew on her bottom lip*
*her eyes stop on a young-adult novel and she reaches her hand up to it, startling slightly when an unknown hand stops on the same book as her*
*blinks her eyes a couple of times and turns her head to the side to see that the hand belongs to you, a young girl, probably in your teens before clearing quietly*
Er... Do you mind if I take the book?
