headache

Hyunjin, 8am

A hot, warm coffee is what I need this early morning.

I can feel my head pounding every few steps I make - god, I shouldn't have drank so much.

I couldn't sleep at all after I returned back home. I felt nauseous each turns and positions I made to try and sleep the headache off, but to no avail, I immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up. Feeling the acid burn in my throat making my face scrunch up, displeased. Just thinking about the taste of soju made my stomach do twists.

To make it all worse, when I wasn't in my so stable mind - I remember how I pulled out my phone with no single thought in my head, thumbs clashing onto the keyboard typing my feelings out to my crush. I was still conscious at that time, so why the hell did I do that? Did I think that letting all out would make me move on? That's just plain stupid. "Do it now, regret it later." That's the last thing I thought before all this mess.

I swear to god I'm never drinking that much ever again. Though I can't deny, it felt good not feeling anything.

After struggling to walk properly to the bakery nearby, I've finally arrived safe and sound with a head's that's about to explode its brain out.

As I placed my hand on the doorknob, my brows frowned.

The door wouldn't budge.

I tried giving it a few pushes and bumps but it just wouldn't budge.

I tried, again and again, trying to open the door in any way I could - it wasn't even THAT early it's only 8am, they should be open at this time! I swear I'd bust the door open if I had to-

"Hm?"

A tiny cough behind me stopped me before I was going to actually bust the door open. I slightly turned around, my eyebrows perking up upon seeing a feminine figure watching me with her arms crossed.

Woah,

She's undeniably pretty. Like really, reeeaaaallyyyy pretty. And the air blowing her long, black hair made her even look ethereal.

Am I still drunk?

The girl pointed at a sign on the door and slightly smiled - is she making fun of me?

"Closed. Oh." I awkwardly read out loud scratching my head as I watched her unlock the door, holding the door for me.

"Haha, uhm. I totally knew that, I swear. I was only fixing the doorknob. Yeah, fixing th- uhm yeah when I a-arrived it fell haha! So, yeah I tried t-to put it b-back to its place ah! Haha."

I should stop talking. I can't believe I just stuttered out all of that.

I stuttered?!

After explaining my so lame excuse, the girl let out a heavenly laugh echoing through the room. My eyes automatically pinpointed onto her face, smiling at how her eyes would squint into two archs when she laughed.

While she was going back n forth in the kitchen with a tray full of goodies to put as display in the front, I stood in the middle of the room frozen into place. It was just me and her in there, and it felt extra awkward.

I waited for her to finish readying everything, watching every move she made. At a certain point, she was struggling to tie a knot behind of her apron and so, with all my courage and mental stability left, I walked over to her pulling her close to me.
