'Please,' I reach over and hold her aged hand in mine, 'Enjoy it on me, I insist' 'Let me just pay for my book and I'll leave you two be' She waddles back over and I shake my head. 'Excuse me Miss- I'm really sorry but I'm just about to to take my lunch break' she turns around and looks at Hoseok, and then to me again before smiling widely. Hoseok squeezes past one of the book table and leans on the counter.

He raises his eyebrows st me as to say hello. Just his little ears poke out from either sides. His face covered by a thick dust mask, and his hair being completely covered by a beanie. She's going to live a health remainder of her life, filled with family and happiness. I discretely raise my hand and mumble some words. 'You are too kind Miss' she rests one of her hands on the counter briefly before turning around and looking at some more of the ancient books.Ģ0 years, she must've read half the books in here by now. '20 years? How old were you when you first came here? 15 years old?' I joke with her and she laughs, her wrinkled cheeks rise up as she smiles.įor the first time in a very long time, I laugh my little comment making myself chuckle loudly at the little lady infront of me. 'I've been coming to this store for nearly 20 years now, but I always forget to check the back' she laughs a little and inspect the back of the book closer. 'All prices are on the back miss' I bow my head at her and she chuckles slightly. I smile at her and turn over the book, revealing the price tag sticker on the back. 'How much is this dear?' The elder lady says putting her 5th book on the counter.
