-11:40 AM in front of Sky Bookstore
Jinhyuk, heart pounding, arrives early for the appointment and loiters in front of the bookstore. He fiddles with his elaborately styled hair and mutters to the wall reflecting his reflection.
“Oh, did I dress up too much..?”
Jinhyuk practices through a wall that reflects his own image.
“Hello! Nice to meet you haha. You’re more handsome than I thought!”
He suddenly feels dizzy at the sight of himself practicing his lines through the wall, and he sits down, messing up his hair.
“Haa…what are you doing, Kim Jin-hyeok…what is it that makes you tremble like this..”

Tiring-
[book_love_] Sorry, I'm going to be a little late because of the traffic.
[gggh_o] It's okay, come slowly. Inside
I'll be looking at some books.

“Yeah... That’s fortunate. I can’t face that kid in this blushing state right now..! I guess I’ll just stay inside and look at books for the rest of the time.”

Ding-
As you enter the bookstore, cool air and the smell of books fill the air.
Jinhyuk habitually wanders around looking for a book to show the child as soon as he gets home.
-am12:10
Jinhyuk looks around twice to find the child who has not arrived even though the appointment time has passed.
[gggh_o] Where are you?
[book_love_] Coming soon.
Jinhyeok was browsing books when he spotted a boy entering the entrance. He was too small and skinny to be considered a man. Perhaps because his alcohol was too strong, or perhaps because his eyes were too small, he looked around with a foolish look.
I just wished I wasn't that kid because he looked so ugly and stupid.
"Surely not... right?"
[gggh_o]Have you arrived?
.
.
.
.
But the child doesn't respond. Worried about what's going on, Oda tries to go back outside.
Crash-!
A boy bumped into Jinhyuk as he was walking around. It was the same boy he'd seen at the entrance earlier. Jinhyuk, enraged, jumped up and yelled at the boy.
"Ugh... Where on earth have you been thinking..."
The boy who had bumped into Jinhyeok had fallen across the room. His glasses had fallen off, and he was groping for them, looking up at Jinhyeok.
He was small and thin, too small to be called a man. He had pale skin and a puppy-like appearance. Jinhyuk was momentarily struck by the child's face, speechless.
“Sorry…could you please…please give me my glasses…”
Jinhyuk looks at the child's appearance blankly, then comes to his senses and gives the child his glasses.
“No. I wasn’t even looking properly..”
When I put the glasses back on, his eyes were small and his stupid face was visible again.
Jinhyuk gets her up from her seat, turns on her phone, and starts sending her DMs.
[gggh_o] You haven't arrived yet?
Tiring-
A notification sounded from somewhere. It was clear the child was nearby, but where on earth could he be? Jinhyuk looked around for a moment and finally saw the phone of the child he'd bumped into earlier.
There was a DM on the screen from Jinhyuk's ID.
(instagram)
[gggh_o]You haven't arrived yet?
The child gets up from his seat, picks up his phone, and tries to reply.
JinhyukHe panicked and grabbed the child's hand and spoke.
“Uh.. Wait a minute..!”
The child looks at Jinhyeok in confusion as if asking what is going on.
“Uh..why are you like that..?”
Jinhyuk trembled. He was so happy to see such a cute child, the one he'd only ever talked to on Instagram.
Jinhyuk shows the DM window to the child and says.
“Are you by any chance the person I was supposed to meet today?”
The child blushes and looks embarrassed when he sees Jinhyuk's phone and appearance.
“Uh…uh…by any chance…”
Jinhyuk answers with a bright smile.
“Yeah, that’s me. gggh_o”
The child stands there with a red face and a look of bewilderment.
“Shall we go outside and talk about it?”
