Ai's sweet determination triggered Jun's heart, overwhelming it with fluffiness to the max level. He grabbed the back of her head and pushed his lips onto hers. He narrowed his eyes and dove his tongue inside her mouth, slurping everything that came in his way. He tugged her silky hair with his fingers that hung on her neck and caressed her waist with his other palm.
Her words always managed to stir his heart to the point that he couldn't hold himself back. Jun recalled her expression of when she said she would rebel. Her puffed up cheeks looked so adorable and cute that he wanted to suck and bite them.
That's not a bad idea...
His lips curved into a smirk, and his lips found his way to her red tinted cheeks. At first, he dropped light kisses but soon, his teeth took a chunk of her cheek and dug into his feast.
Ai flinched with the pleasure and heat igniting within her, making her gasp. When his tongue flicked over her cheek and he bit onto her skin, the delirious sensation caused her to jump. It wasn't helping that his hand was wandering inside her dress and tugging the straps of her bra.
"Jun..." she whispered. As she lightly held onto his neck, she shuddered with how hot his skin felt. She sighed in ecstasy, feeling his hot palm cup her breast. She bit her lip hard and said, "L-library..."
Jun wasn't really listening to her and continued his sweet onslaught of her cheek and breast. He then traced his kisses towards her neck and when he was finally satisfied, he looked at her flushed face. "This is what happens when you make my heart skip beats," he gave a firm squeeze to her breast, weakening her knees.
Ai said in protest, "I did nothing."
"Hooo..." Jun smiled. As his thumb played with the soft bud on her breast, making her brain sizzle with blankness, his raspy voice sexily said, "How about we discuss this thoroughly in bed? I will properly explain the things you do to my heart which makes me do things to your body."
She blushed hard and looked away. "I...I have to go to the library..."
"Don't try and run away," he bit her lower lip.
She vigorously shook her head. "I am not m-making any excuses..." It was hard to concentrate with Jun playing with her chest, "I-I have to continue with my story and want to refer to some books for that. It's the truth."
"Oh..." He finally let go of his breast, making Ai sigh in relief. She was sure she would have fainted with pleasure had he not stopped. Her breaths came back to normal.
"I will come with you too. I want to meet Mrs. Quan," Jun said, "I want to thank her."
Ai asked as she hooked her bra again and straightened her disheveled dress, "Thank her? For what?"
He hugged her waist and tapped on her nose. "She was the one who made me realize my feelings for you. She brought it out in the open on Chocolate Day until I had no place to hide. She gave me the push to confront my love for you. I am indebted to her."
Ai beamed. "Oh. Indeed, she is a very kind woman. She offered me her house even though we really didn't know that well," she cleared her throat, "Even though I never went to stay with her..."
Jun dangerously narrowed his eyes.
"I appreciate the offer and kindness. Jun, why don't we thank her with a gift?" She asked in anticipation.
Jun liked the idea. "Sure. Let's do that."

At the Beijing Central Library, Mrs. Quan was piling up some old books for donation when she saw Jun and Ai coming in.
"Jun! Ai!" Her small face brightened. She hugged them and chirped in excitement. "Ai, I watched the Summit. Congratulations for winning it! I am so proud of you," she wiped the corner of her eye, "I loved your story so much. You were wonderful."
Ai's gaze softened. "Thank you, Mrs. Quan."
"I had no idea that you were a writer. Oof, I am so excited! Oh, oh! Will you continue your short story? Ever since I watched you, I wanted to ask this. You ended it on an open note, so I was wondering the reply of the man the protagonist confessed to," Mrs. Quan was squealing in excitement. "I have been thinking of it the whole time. So much so that I couldn't get any sleep!" She pouted.
Jun said, "Well you don't have to wait anymore now. The reply is a yes."
"Ah? How do you know? Did Ai reveal her next story to you?" She sparkled. "Tell me too, Ai! I want to hear it too!"
His mouth twitched. "Not like that! I mean that the man is in front of you to whom the protagonist confessed."
Mrs. Quan was confused. "Ah? I don't understand. Are you bullying this old lady?" She harrumphed.
"..."
Ai quickly explained. "Of course. You are the sweetest," she cleared her throat, "he means that the story I wrote was actually...me confessing to Jun..." her ears turned red, "And Jun accepted it so..."
Mrs. Quan gasped. "What!?"
The other patrons gave her weird looks by her sudden exclamation.
Jun chuckled. "This is a library, Mrs. Quan."
"Who cares? Tell me all the details!" She hastily pulled them towards her desk and intently leaned to hear it.
Ai shook her head helplessly and recounted what happened.
Mrs. Quan covered her mouth, feeling a mixture of shock, thrill and disbelief. "Oh my gosh! You are a couple now!? That's...that's such great news!" She clapped in delight, "I am so happy for you..." she felt emotional, "this idiot finally told the truth."
Jun's gaze darkened. "Hey!"
"Shut up. You were so stubborn. Hmph. But whatever it is, I am so glad to see you together. I knew it. My eyes cannot deceive me. You two are made for each other!"
