Chapter 2
[Group Chat: Library Late-Nighters]
Kim Namjoon
Why am I always stuck in this library at midnight? 😩
Kim Taehyung
Because you’re a nerd, Namjoon. A lovable nerd, but still… a nerd.
Kim Namjoon
Taehyung? What are you doing here? You hate studying.
Kim Taehyung
I’m not here to study! I’m just… people-watching. 🤫
Kim Namjoon
At a library? At midnight?
Kim Taehyung
Hey, people are fascinating everywhere, even in libraries. And besides, I saw you struggling with those books. Figured I’d come say hi.
Kim Namjoon
Sighs My brain feels like it’s about to explode. I’ve been trying to finish this essay for hours.
Kim Taehyung
What’s it about?
Kim Namjoon
It’s about art history, actually. You’d probably love it. The role of modern art in social change.
Kim Taehyung
Ooooh, now that’s interesting. Why didn’t you say so sooner? Want some help?
Kim Namjoon
Wait, you actually know about this stuff?
Kim Taehyung
Dude, I may not look like it, but I’m an art enthusiast. 🎨 I love how art can tell stories, change perspectives. Here, let me see…
Kim Namjoon
Hands over the notes Okay, impress me, then.
Kim Taehyung
grins Alright, listen. Art isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about emotion, revolution, a reflection of society. It’s like… it’s like our music, you know?
Kim Namjoon
*Nods slowly* You’re right. Music and art are just two sides of the same coin. Both express what words can’t.
Kim Taehyung
Exactly! You get it. Now write that down — it’ll get you an A for sure.
Kim Namjoon
Laughs You’re something else, Taehyung. You really are.
Kim Taehyung
And you’re smarter than you look, Namjoon. 😜 But don’t stress too much. Sometimes you just need a different perspective.
Kim Namjoon
Smiles Thanks, Taehyung. I think I needed that. You know, you’re pretty cool.
Kim Taehyung
I know. And hey, we should hang out more. I think we could learn a lot from each other.
Kim Namjoon
Yeah… I’d like that.
Namjoon looks at Taehyung, feeling an unexpected sense of camaraderie. They’re so different, yet somehow, they fit perfectly. Maybe, just maybe, this could be the start of an unlikely friendship that neither of them ever expected.
