Taehyung looks up from the illegible scribbles on the scrap of paper in his hand up to the giant letters gracing the store he stands in front of. The giant glass windows are just as his instructor had described, and as he rereads the piece of paper again, he can distinctly make out the words Chapter One. Stuffing the paper into his pocket, Taehyung frees his hand to push open the door while his other is occupied by his bitter lemon drink. Despite its bitterness, Taehyung feels relaxed and comforted by it, almost as if the drink agrees with him on his views about the world. While he silently sips it through a straw, he wanders the first few shelves eying their titles and colors. Taking a moment, Taehyung looks around the store to see who is present considering the lack of noise or voices aside from the soft music playing in the background. He shrugs his shoulders as he continues down another path towards bigger shelves with bigger and heavier books. Despite being their only because of his instructor's orders, Taehyung takes his time to browse through the store to see if anything will catch his interest. He sees something from the corner of his eye and it takes his focus as he debates with himself if he should bother with it or not. In the few seconds that it takes him to think this through, his body is already moving back. Before he knows it, Taehyung feels himself colliding with a tower of books that had been stacked on the side of the shelf. Out of reflex, he reaches out to try and stop the books from tumbling to the ground. Of course, to his dismay, he forgets about the drink in his hand and it flies out of his grip during his unexpected reaction. Along with the books, his drink drops to the ground exploding upon contact before splattering across some of the new books. Taehyung doesn't remember the last time he was this distraught nor clumsy. As a body rounds the corner, Taehyung gulps out of fear as he sees their face. He's never met them face to face, but he's heard enough to know that the woman standing before him can make his life a living misery. The Goddess Nemesis, Lee Soomin.
