Chapter 69: Buying Books

Explore new worlds at M-V-L

Jin was currently walking behind Dylan while holding a stack of books.

Dylan was browsing over the bookshelves and placing one book after another on the already high stack of books Jin was carrying.

After around twenty minutes the stack had already reached a meter in height.

"Alright, that should be enough for now," Dylan said as he placed one last book, the dictionary, at the top of the stack.

He then arrived at the counter with Jin and asked the old shopkeeper to pack them.

The old shopkeeper was more than just delighted to do so.

"Right at it Sir, Thank you for the purchase!" He replied with immense gratefulness in his eyes.

In this age of technology, the number of physical book readers has decreased tremendously, affecting his business.

The books were now being packed with great care by the old shopkeeper. He was glad he could finally afford to give his 7-year-old granddaughter a beautiful present for her upcoming birthday. (A/N: Let us visit some bookstores from time to time and spread some goodwill.)

Dylan looked at the time on his wristwatch and asked Jin. "Where do you live?"

"In a hotel not far from here," Jin replied.

"That's great. Give me your address and take these books with you home. I'll come back after lunch to your place at around 3 in the afternoon and we'll start with what needs to be done.

"Hmm? Why not just come to the hotel with me? We could have our lunch there,' Jin suggested.

"I'll pass, I got a delicious lunch made by my dear wife waiting for me at home," A smile had unconsciously appeared on Dylan's face as he replied.

"I see, enjoy your meal then," Jin replied with an understanding smile on his face as he texted him his address after they exchanged their numbers.

The books were all ready a few minutes later. Dylan paid for them and handed them to Jin.

"See you later then," Dylan said and left in a bit of a hurry. It was clear that he was a bit late.

Jin thanked the old shopkeeper and left. He waved his hand for a taxi and soon arrived at his hotel to dump all those books. It was now Jin's turn to look at his watch. It was around one o'clock in the afternoon.

He still had thirty minutes left.

Jin went out to take a cab. His destination? It was the same as yesterday i.e. Zenith BioTech's branch office.

After arriving at the spot Jin walked towards a tree planted on the sidewalk and leaned on it as he waited. His eyes observed everyone who was passing through this path with a yellow lanyard around their necks.

People didn't pay much attention to Jin as they walked right past him.

Even though he had been interviewed live on TV and had been on a search engine's trending list yesterday, he only managed to make an impression on the minds of a small section of people.

The rest soon forgot about the news and continued with their lives. His appearance thereby turning foggy in their minds. That's how people were.

Jin soon saw the woman approaching.

"Hi, we meet again," Jin raised his hand and waved at the woman to attract her attention.

Just like yesterday, the woman had been immersed in her phone while walking. Hearing a familiar voice she immediately stopped on her spot and raised her head.

'What is this pervert doing here today? Didn't I refuse him yesterday? ...Is he also a stalker along with a pervert?'

The woman looked at Jin as a nervous expression formed on her face.

"W-why are you here again?" The woman gathered up her courage and asked.

"To ask you out again," Jin replied with a smile and continued, "So, will you go out with me?"

"I said no yesterday didn't I?" said with a hint of anger.

"Yes you did, but that was yesterday, and today is the next day," Jin countered.

"What does that have to do with anything?" The woman was truly finding it difficult to talk with Jin.

"It does. Who knows, you might just agree to go out with me," Jin said playfully.

"No, I won't! No matter how many times you come here, my answer will always be no," the woman declared.

Jin just shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Then I'll just keep on being rejected every day hoping that one day you might change your answer,"

"You-" The woman was growing more frustrated with each exchange and was finally reaching her limits.

She finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to ignore him and move towards her office.

"At least tell me your name, I'm Jin," Jin's voice entered her ears from behind.

Jin's last words finally broke her restraints and she acted out on her instincts and said "F*ck off!"

Her middle finger greeted Jin's eyes following that before she turned around and went inside the main gate soon after.

Jin sighed seeing this.

'This is going to take longer than I had expected…well it's not like I'm in a hurry or anything so it's alright,' Jin thought as he turned around to go back to the hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel he first had his lunch in the restaurant downstairs and soon made his way upstairs to his room.

It was around half past two in the afternoon and Dylan said that he would come by three. In those thirty minutes, Jin decided to take a post-meal nap.

Thirty minutes passed and a knock on the door soon woke Jin up. He opened the door and welcomed Dylan in.

"Let's start then," Dylan said as he made his way inside. He looked around the room.

He found a table facing a wall and along with Jin shifted it to the center of the room. After grabbing two chairs the two of them sat on each end while facing each other.

"Here read this, it's the English literature book of class 6th students. Finish one chapter and ask me your doubts," Dylan said as he passed a book to Jin from the bunch of books they had.

"Just this?" Jin felt relieved when he heard this and grabbed the book to read. Just then Dylan's following words entered his ears.

" The book has five chapters in total, after each chapter, you'll have to write a summary of that and give it to me,"

'Fuck,' Jin thought. The one thing he didn't like the most was writing. It was the same when he was in 5th grade and has only worsened with time.

"B-but I don't have a rough notebook here, we'll have to skip that it seems," Jin soon found a loophole and tried to exploit it.

"Don't worry about it, I bought a few before I arrived here," Dylan took out a couple of rough notebooks from his office bag and placed it on the table to Jin's dismay.

"...shit," Jin thought.
