@Ω┊lee taeyong -I must have not noticed how much of my scent was beginning to emanate off of myself when focusing on my book. The different situations within the story pulling on the cords of my emotions. It’s when your book falls to your chest, you adjust your seated position and your comment on needing coffee that I take notice-
-My eyes lift to yours, watching as they widen and eventually fall. I inhale a deep breath and close my book. I bring myself to my feet but keep my gaze on you-
You said you needed coffee? I could use some as well. Would you like to come with me?

@α┊lee dongwook /bites at my bottom lip out habit when your eyes lay upon me, i feel a nervous squeeze to my chest as i wait for you to answer, and let out a breath of relief followed by a small, shy smile, whispering/
thank you—really appreciate it
/sets my bag down by the chair and then sits down; my eyes wander for a bit before i go and grab my book for my bag, this time I’ve got an old favorite of mine that i’m rereading just to remind me of all the reasons why i love to read ‘pride and prejudice,’ i flick the pages to where i left off and begin to curl back against the chair with a comfortable smile, slowly let myself fall into a familiar world that i love/
Mm…
/lets out a small sound after a while when a scent begins to make my body a little drowsy; of course, the smell of books has always been a favorite of mine, i can’t help but sense a thicker layer of it, and it seems to blanket over me with comfort, blinks slowly as my book falls to my chest and i try to sit up, murmurs to myself/
Need some coffee
/lifts my gaze to you for a moment when i realize that i’ve been speaking out loud (although softly) my eyes widen a bit, and i look down embarrassed, mouthing ‘sorry’/

@Ω┊lee taeyong -It was always irritating, the beginning of the year, people and their ‘new year’s resolutions’ that they’ll only stick with for maybe a month or less-
-I collect the books I’ve asked to be put on hold and head over to the quietest spot I’m able to find. I sit, glancing between the two books I’ve checked out to decide which I’d like to read first. Both murder mystery. It was a genre I found myself slowly falling in love with-
-Just as I’ve started the first chapter I hear a voice that sounds vaguely familiar. I lift my head to see whom the voice belonged to. Upon seeing your face I smile softly, someone I knew was invested in books like myself. I remembered seeing you around the library when I was looking for new material to read. We never really spoke as I usually just liked to gather my books and do my own thing-
-The question makes me glance around the room, almost as if I needed to verify that this is was the only available spot. I turn my head back to you and gesture toward the open chair-
I don’t mind, please, sit.

@α┊lee dongwook /takes a deep breath in the moment i step into the library, i always love the first breath of books whenever i come to the library, there was something about it that just felt so right, though this time the mingling scents of the surprising crowd interupts my bookish ritual, tilts my head looking around and wathcing so many different faces but then my eyes fall onto a familiar face ‘you’, that oddly eases my small surge of anxiety over the busy atmosphere/
hmm…wonder whats going on—not like they’re giving the books out for free
/mumbles to myself, entirely joking and its cheesy but it brings a faint smile to my lips, i begin to look around for a free seat but most tables and chairs are occupied, i start to wonder if i should just leave early today, maybe a quiet library session is just not in the cards for me tonight, but then when i turn around and see you again i notice that the seat beside you is free, bites my lower lip and walks forward until i’m standing in front of you, speaks in soft voice/
hey…um do you mind if i sit next to you?

Christian taps his chin with considerable wonder;"I'll try to find a really good one next week- and of course recommendations are very welcome!"

but yes it is entertaining to listen

"Same. More disturbing stories than scary."

it’s not that scary as i thought

"How ya feeling so far Micchi? Too scary or just entertaining enough to listen? May need to try harder next Friday."

i’m cleaning while listening

"Ok this coffee stand one is pretty good.. geez.."

Christian shakes his head, continually unimpressed and moves to the next story.

"I'm on a ual child predator story apparently. Not so much scary as it is disturbing."

Weirdo walk the earth

Christian sets his plate down and hugs his knees while listening, bundled in his throw.

"Some of these aren't even scary. It was bad, good, lame kinda good now we are back to lame again. me- sorry if this bores, fellas."

"For the sixth story it's at thirty-five minutes but open it completely and you'll see the stories are seperated by chapter."

"For the fifth story or the sixth?"

Time stamp?

"We are on the fifth story but it's not scary. This one just seems to be about an abusive relationship so you can skip to story six or watch from the beginning."

My listening ears are on

*walks in blindly and sits*

"It is. I used to watch videos about crazy exes, but this isn't really scary." Christian looks very unimpressed.

it’s more like just an abusive person i guess

he is a liddol baby uwu

"So this sociopath story is not doing it for me. Just makes me mad."

Christian looks over at those two and stifles a giggle;"It's like Micchi caring for a liddol baby~"

keeps patting kook

"So if jump scares are not your thing, this is a nice way to enjoy on a calmer note."
