OhmFluke A Day

18 June 2021

"Excuse me, is this book available?" Fluke asked the librarian in excitement.

He's just finished reading the first book and is eager to continue on with the saga but since he's a cheapskate and he knows all the series are available in this library so why spend money on stuff he can get for free? Okay, it's borrowed but still.

The lady looked at the poorly written title on the crumbled piece of paper and typed it on her computer. "I'm sorry, this book's currently being borrowed by someone right now."

Fluke's smile is flattered by the new info. "Oh, when will it be returned?"

"Well, based on this, the book is supposed to be returned in a week's time from now. Maybe you can try again later?" The lady was kind enough to help him and Fluke was back to his enthusiastic self with the new information.

A week, it's not that long. In the meantime, he can just reread the first book while waiting for the second book.

A week had passed and Fluke was smiling as he made his way to the library. With a skip on his steps, he entered the library and made a beeline towards the counter.

"Excuse me."

The lady looked up from the computer and flashed him a smile. "Oh it's you."

"You remembered me!" He giggled.

"Of course, let me check if the book was returned. Give me a minute." Fluke nodded and let the woman do her job. "Hm... It seemed like it hadn't been returned."

"What? But hasn't it passed the returned date?" He asked with a frown. As someone who's always punctual, Fluke doesn't like it when this happens.

"Yeah, but there's actually a week extended time for them to return the books without any penalty." She replied. "Maybe you can come another week?"

With a pout, he nodded and left the library with a disappointed look.

Another week came and Fluke went to the library with hopes.

However, when he was met with the disappointed look from the lady on the counter, he frowned. "The books still haven't been returned?"

"Unfortunately, no." She replied.

"Can I have the borrower's details? I want to find them myself." He asked determinedly. The lady looked at him.

"I'm sorry, you know I can't just give you that information."

"Aw! Come on phi~ I'll help you look for this person and make sure the fines are paid and give them the scolding that they deserve!" With a lot of convincing, Fluke finally got the information on the borrower.

Once again, he left the library with a gleeful gesture.

"Ohm Thitiwat, just you wait."

And so Fluke uses all the resources, read; his friends, that he had and looked for this Ohm Thitiwat.

He came to the library occasionally to check if the dude came and returned the book but alas, it was all in vain as the male was never spotted in the library and the book was never returned.

"I got it!" Boun shouted. Fluke scrambled his way towards the older male and peered into his computer.

"He's currently studying in the same university as us and is taking Architecture. Based on his friend's latest Instagram update, they've just finished another discussion and it looks like they're going to have lunch at McDonalds."

"Wow, that's significantly detailed."

Boun smirks. "His friend posted it, I just read it."

And true enough, there was a picture of a group of friends with the caption, Done studying! Off to McDonalds with the gang! Posted nearly 3 minutes ago.

"Since the nearest McD is just 5 minutes away, I can go and attack him there."

"Attack?"

"I mean, confront him. Hehe. Okay I'm gonna go now, thank you P'Boun! I owe you one!" He said before taking his bags and running out of the room.

"You sure did midget!"

Ohm was laughing around with his friends, sipping on his coke while munching on his fries. Easting on an empty stomach is such a bliss when all you've done for the day was to study.

They were chatting and laughing when suddenly an unknown person came tapping on their table.

"Which one of you is Ohm Thitiwat?!"

They all looked at each other and gulped. As much as the stranger was a small person, his menacing aura was enough to terrify them.

His friends however were a bunch of shits they all pointed at him almost instantly.

"You!"

"W-What?"

"Why didn't you return the book you borrowed from the library 3 weeks ago!"

He raised his eyebrow and frowned. "What book?"

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!" The smaller male's vein was about to pop open and Ohm was scared for him. He didn't want to cause anybody's death by something he didn't know about.

"I don't read Harry Po— Earth! Did you use my bard to borrow books again?"

Fluke straightened himself and looked at the male that this Ohm dude was talking to.

"Oh... Hehehe. I guess I did."
