Note!
(b/f/n) : best friend's name

"See you tomorrow, guys!" you waved to your classmates after the class professor dismissed the class. Your classmates bid goodbye to each other and the class professor then walked out the class, either in groups, by themselves, or in pairs. "Are you going to that bookstore again, (y/n)?" asked (b/f/n) while you two wait for the lift.

"Yes, I am." You answered. "If it's for buying or browsing books, I can understand that. But if it's for that cliché love at first sight thing..." (b/f/n) gave you that look. "Of course, I'm not!" you firmly answered. "Alright, suits yourself then. See you tomorrow.". "See you too!" both of you split ways and you went to the bookstore you've been visiting for the past few days.

There's some truth from what (b/f/n) said, the reason you kept going there is because there was this guy who's been coming there too. You have no idea why he kept coming but you've observed him close enough that you can guess that he might be looking for a new book or a specific book. You came in after arrived and coincidentally, you were looking for a new novel.

'Novels should be around... here.' You found your way to the novel section after passing the biography section. You carefully scanned the shelves, from top to bottom until you find the book. The novel you've been looking for was almost glinting from the corner of your eyes. "There it is!" you excitedly exclaimed but your excitement didn't last long when you saw where it was put. High shelves aren't your best friend.

"Aww man..." you sighed and tried to reach as best as you can. You stretched your arm and stood on the tips of your shoes but the book barely touched your fingertips. "Come... on..." you groaned in frustration and even with small hops, you still couldn't reach the book. "Damn it." you exhaled in defeat. You were also getting tired.

Then a hand casually pulled the novel from the shelf and gave it to you. "Is this the book you wanted?" a voice asked. "Yes! Thank you so much!" you happily took the book with a big sense of gratefulness. You looked up to see and it was the guy who has been coming here recently.

He has a medium dark brown hair, split through the middle, and he was wearing a white tee under a sleeveless black hoodie with matching pants, shoes, and a watch on his left wrist. He was also carrying two books and a magazine.

"You're welcome." He smiled. "Ah! There you are." And apparently he found what he has been looking for. "Is that what you've been looking for?" you asked, breaking the silence. "Yes. I'm glad that it's finally here." He happily answered. "I-I'm (y/n)." you shared your name and extended your hand. "I'm Ryuichi. Nice to meet you.". "Nice to meet you too." Both of you shook hands. Ryuichi asked if you regularly come here and you confirmed.

He guessed that you always come to spend your time and you admitted in a blush. "Are you the same too, Ryuichi-san?" you asked. "Just recently.". "Is it because of the book?" you teased. "In a way." He innocently smiled. You asked if you can take a look of his book and he showed it. It was a classic English novel. The ones that has fancy words in it. "May I see yours?" he asked and showed him yours. It was just the usual teen romance novel.

Both of you then went to the cashier to pay your books. "Will we see each other again? I-I mean if you like." You shyly asked and Ryuichi said you can try to find him in campus. "Wait what? You study there too?" you were surprised. Ryuichi nodded, "I'm taking my second degree in music." And explained. You told him your major while both of you walked out the store. "I hope you can find me tomorrow in campus, (y/n)" he half teased. "I'll see you there too, Ryuichi-san." You shyly smiled.

A.N : I might need to get my mood back for Sakamoto XD I'm slipping... I decided to write that cheesy cliché love at first sight in the bookstore and I think I wrote it good. And I think this book will overrun Async easily. I'm a bit scared and surprised in the same time about this. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next one! RD out!! Boi!!!
