2. New normality Vs World Vs Me

"Love is a reincarnation of a bird. Let it fly and come back to you whenever it wants; not onto the cage but your shoulders."

Months before how different the world looked. Oh, God! Who will believe that one of the top cities of the world is empty in the mornings and nights? It's good though. No pollution, no people, no loud and crowd. What a peaceful place!

Isn't this is what introverts loved? Yeah, but a little different. The stupid three-layer mask and sanitizing per minute was not in the plan.

Roads were empty, footpaths were clear. The evening snow is covering the ways slowly. Everyone was chanting one word inside their head- 'social distancing'.

The blond-haired male opened the umbrella with one hand and adjusted his gloves on the other hand. He then locked the door and stepped out for the first time.

The male has never seen New York like this. God, he couldn't even imagine a place like this; empty and dim under the snow and evening lighting. He looked around and spot not even a single soul. The blonde-haired male decided to go on with his plan.

The November snow is cold and merciless for his fragile body. He still loved it. While pulling his trench coat, the male breathed heavily and clutched onto his phone. He stopped talking and shut the umbrella, put it on the corner.

"Hyung, wait a minute"

The male said on the phone while pushing the glass door with his full force and entering inside. He then walked to the counter and said:

"One big breaker beef burger and one Oreo McFlurry to go, please "

He waited to get his order and walked outside with the cover. Taking his umbrella, he sighed in half relief and then realized the ignored call and incoherent shouting on his phone.

"Yah, why the hell are you going outside and eating that stuff? "

"You went out to MacDonald's at this time? How come they're open?
Are you out of your mind?
Yah, yah, don't avoid me..."

"Oh my God, I can't believe this. The world is suffering and here you're eating this unhealthy food and going out like this. Will you let me die peacefully one day, you brat?"

The blonde-haired male wanted to laugh and cry at the same moment. He walked through the empty footpath, waiting for the person on the phone to take a deep breath so that he could answer back.
And when the other side went silent, the male gasped. Here we go!

"Hyung, calm down. will you? I'm totally safe. And yes, MacDonald is open and I  was craving for them. It's fine, trust me, hyungiee..."

"Yah, Kim Taehyung. Don't 'hyungiee' me now. Nothing around you is safe, you dumbshit. How can you go out like that? 

Wait- did you wear gloves ? "- the male on the phone asked.

"Yes"- Taehyung replied.

"Beanies? "
"Sweater?"
"Coat?"

The nonstop questionnaire made Taehyung laugh at the male.

"Hyung. I'm looking like a stuffed bear now with all these. Are you happy? I'm really fine."- he said.

The walk halted as he reached the door of his apartment. The blonde took out the keys from his coat's pocket, opened the door, and entered inside.

"Why did you go out in the first place? I'm worried about you, Taehyung-ah..."

The male on the other side of the phone said as Taehyung walked and placed the cover and phone on the table. He switched on the speaker mode and said.
