So It's You

Ming's POV

I strutted my way to my favorite part of the library where I always go whenever I come by, while others go there to study in my case, I visit there to have a peace of mind or sleep, since he won as the university’s moon both were hard to come by. Moreover, few people were going in the area because maybe the books weren't interesting enough for them. Or I don't know. I would have to agree with them though. If it isn't necessary, I wouldn't read newspapers printed centuries ago.

As I was approaching the area, I could hear a light and steady snore. It gotten louder as I got nearer. At the end of the aisle, I saw a man in-between two huge bookshelves. His back against the shelves, head down, his legs crossed and his hand holding a book by a hair’s breadth. If he wasn’t snoring, I would have thought he was just reading because his face down, facing the book.

Initially, I thought of leaving because it would be futile to stay when someone already took my place. Wow, my place? When did it become officially mine? I grinned at my own teasing. But my feet seemed to have a mind of its own and continued to walk towards the man.

He's cute.

As a man, it isn’t every day that I find my fellow, cute or give any comment for that matter – well, except Yo. His friend just exudes too much of cuteness. My interest was piqued and I always stop at nothing to quench my curiosity about everything or someone, cases like now, my curiosity got to me, I couldn’t help but come close and check the guy out.

Who is he? I wondered. He's probably not an engineering student or else I would have seen him before. Engineering students usually get together at the student center or the auditorium for some collective activities from freshmen to seniors – this man definitely a new face for me.

I squatted to fix my gaze on him closely, he smiled in his sleep and his dimples appeared. I felt the urged to touch it but I restrained myself, afraid I might wake him up and be scared witless with him. If he does though, I can’t blame him.

I noticed him winced, it might be because of the sun that directly hits him through the glass window.

I felt bad for him so I stood by the window to provide shade for him.

Why am I doing this again? I didn’t even know him and surely, he’ll find me creepy standing right beside him when he wakes up.

It won’t do me any good to overthink about his actions so might as well discard them. I was pleased at the thought so I went on watching the guy in his slumber. After seemed like an hour, stiffed legs, sore skin due to the heat, I heard footsteps drawing near. There are group of girls coming their way, giggling. I was worried they will wake him up so I opted to meet them halfway since the footsteps was definitely advancing towards them.

The girls, a group of three, stopped in their tracks when they saw Ming closing in on them. They were in awe and I couldn’t help complimenting my looks in my mind. Talking about being cocky.

"Hi, Ming." they sang in chorus to greet me and chortled. The others were gently pushing for what seemed to appear as their leader towards Ming.

Being the kind and generous person as I am, I greeted them back with my megawatt smile. “Hello,”

"What are you doing here?" ask the girl timidly with a long hair, pink lips and a uniform that hugged her body tightly. She looks familiar but her face wasn’t enough to ring a bell.

"Ahm...” cramming for the right response in my mind. "What about you? What are girls as pretty as you doing here? “for lack of words I returned the question.

Hearing "pretty" made them giggled all the more.

"We were just looking for a book, I didn't know I would find my moon here.” I could sense that she's trying to flirting.

"Are you alone? You should have called me. " she gave her sweetest smile while her hands were touching his shoulder.

"Well, I thought beautiful girls like you have no time for a guy like me. " I flirted back. It's like a reflex to flirt back.

"Even if I am busy, I will always make time for you. " she winked at me and laughed a little louder.

In my peripheral vision, I saw the man sleeping moved.

Kit's POV

When I reached the library, I tried to look around to find a table where I can stay to kill time. But to my dismay, every seats were taken. So I just went on the bookshelves area.

Luckily, I was able to go to the farthest part of the library where I saw no one but me.

Perfect. Nap time.

I grinned at the idea. I sat at the end part of the last aisle, in-between two ginormous bookshelves. I never thought our university library was this huge. I opened my lectures and tried to read. Before I knew it, I drifted off.

I was awaken by a sound of laughter. It was close but I was very sleepy to pay attention. I thought that they won't see me anyway. The conversation went on, he heard the girl muttering something like she was flirting then the guy flirted back.

Of all places, why do it in the library? He ranted. Argh!

He was determined to ignore it when his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Hmmm? " the sound I was able to make because I was too lazy to speak.

"Where are you? " Beam asked. "The class will start soon. " he said anxiously.

Yeah, I forgot. I still have a class. "I'm coming. " I answered. I gathered my things hurriedly and stood up.

I was surprised to see that the two people whom I overheard earlier were just nearby. They were looking at me, the girl with an blank expression and the guy.. amused? Well, I don't have the time to process it. So I moved quickly to make it on time for my class.

As I walked past him, I could feel his gaze. I looked at him and I saw him looking at me. He seemed stunned to see me looking back at him but he winked at me after a few seconds.

"So are you free tonight? I can come over, if you want. " I heard the girl asked.

"I'd love to.. " he answered. I grimaced at his response. Then carried on to walk towards the door.

Flirt. Flirt. Flirt.

Ming's POV

His reaction was priceless when he saw me winking at him. I usually get a smile whenever I winked at someone but with him, he thought that it was gross. Well, he's a man after all. I couldn't help but followed him with a glance. He was half running and half walking.

What department is he from? He doesnt look like someone from engineering department. Hmmm.

"So are you free tonight? I can come over, if you want. " I heard the woman next to me said seductively.

"I'd love to.." I smiled sweetly at her. "But I have plans." I excused myself after.

I was heading out when I noticed something on the floor. It was an ID. I picked it up so I can give it to the librarian maybe the person who left it will come back and look for it.

I look at the picture. It was him.
