it had been around half an hour since the three had left the two in the storage room and they never came back.
"im pretty sure they went to the cafe down the road" taehyung whispered.
"i wanna go home. i'm hungry"
"want a protein bar?"
"i'd eat anything right now"
taehyung took a protein bar out of his pocket and gave it to jeongguk.
"where did that come from?"
"my pocket?"
"you don't bring food to school, though?"
"i bring protein bars"
"why?"
"i went on a diet?"
"why would you do that? you need nutrition!" jeongguk exclaimed and taehyung shrugged.
"mother said i need to lose weight if i want to become a model"
"you want to become a model?"
"yeah..wanted to. i kinda changed my mind now"
"then why are you still dieting?"
taehyung shrugged again, "i dont know. out of habit, i guess"
jeongguk shook his head and lied down on his mat.
"that's so wrong. stop dieting. you're skinny enough already"
"how would you know?" taehyung teased as he looked down on his clothes. he was wearing an oversized hoodie and shorts.
"just look at your legs" jeongguk answered and shook his head. he gave the protein bar back.
"eat this. you need it more than i do"
"i'll eat once i get home anyway"
"i will, too"
"just eat it"
"no"
"let's share then"
"fine"
they shared the protein bar.
"so, what's with you?"
"what do you mean?"
"you've been offering me lunch boxes since the beginning of the year"
"it's still the beginning of the year"
"we're nearing the end of this semester, jeongguk"
"okay we're in the middle of it, i guess"
"so?"
"so?"
"so, what was your goal?"
"well, to be friends with you, i guess"
"couldn't you do that like, i don't know, like everyone else?"
"what's the point in that? i wanted to start a friendship in a unique way"
"fair enough"
"you don't seem like you appreciate it enough, though"
"what?"
"instead of taking the lunch boxes i gave you, you could've rejected me from the very first day. you didn't have to show me some attitude" jeongguk said annoyed.
"what? i thought you'd get the message after the first few days!"
"well, i thought you'd change after the first few days!"
"well i didn't!"
"i can see that!"
and then silence.
