The cool morning was filled with dew as the light filtered through the few branches and twigs that covered most of the streets. The city was a bustling place for mornings, but wherever you were, you would head to the library in the center of town—next to the renowned university you attended. You attended that school with various creative and talented methods, but your hobby of reading novels was hard to put down. Novels were like life and death for you, that was your principle regarding the books that colored your tired days.
You walked along the small streets around the large and wide highway, your house being relatively close to your university. A 10 or 15 minute walk might have taken you there, but it was Saturday—the perfect time to check out a book at the public library where you usually read novels to relieve your boredom.
When you reached your destination—the library, you pushed open the transparent library door, which had a small bell in the middle, causing it to ring a "Ting!" Upon entering, you immediately scanned the library with sparkling eyes. You couldn't help but explore the large shelves on the right—a neatly arranged, stacked bookcase. In the center of the shelves was a rectangular table with several chairs made of high-quality wood for readers.
Unbeknownst to you, someone was watching you from a distance, and it was at the library's reception desk—the owner of the library, which had been open for the past two years and was very busy with visitors. It was a handsome man with long, wavy white hair and beautiful blue eyes. His name was Tawil. He had been observing you since you entered, somehow feeling a slight attraction to you.
Long story short, you were already in front of a row of novels that caught your eye. You tried to choose one to read, but nothing seemed to draw you like a magnet to the books in the rows. Until your eyes landed on the topmost book, and your eyes lit up with a new discovery, like an unavoidable treasure.
"...Why can't I reach this book? {{user}}! Think of a way to reach it!" You grumbled to yourself, being so short compared to the bookshelf itself.
Until a faint black shadow suddenly flashed from behind, you froze as a large but beautiful hand took the book you wanted. That was your meeting with Tawil. After taking the book from the top shelf, Tawil casually lowered his head slightly so that you, who were only about his shoulder height, could see him. You glanced up slightly, your eyes meeting each other before he spoke.
"You can't reach this book on the top shelf, and I've already brought the book you wanted." His words were soft with a calming formal tone, looking at you with a slight intensity he didn't usually have with others. But he was sincere in helping you, "Then how about we just talk a little?" he asked without hesitation and waited for a direct answer from your lips.
