my eyes started to open from my phone ringing about a hundred times.

ugh.

I reached for my phone over by my nightstand and saw that the time was 8:10 am plus 5+ unread messages from jisung.

well, I already know what he's gonna ramble about.

I put my phone on my bed and as much as I wanted to stay in my cosy bed I had to use the toilet badly.

I checked myself in the mirror and my fluffy hair was all over the place. I fixed it then I washed my face and dried it with my towel.

it was 8:30 am by now. after I was done I went downstairs to see what my mother had made for breakfast or what she was making.

I didn't get to tell her that I didn't go to school so I'll tell her now.

the smell of eggs woke me up a bit more than I was while washing my face.

I greeted my mother in the kitchen, she has a shocked reaction.

"oh hi felix, I thought you left for school already" she said.

"I didn't feel like going to today" I answered while sitting down at the table.

"why not? are you sick?" she asked.

I didn't know if I was sick due to yesterday?
I don't think I was feeling sick so I wasn't.

"no I'm not sick" I said wanting the conversation to end.

"okay well I made a rolled omelette, would you like some?" she asked me while flipping it in the pan and then putting it on a plate to cut into pieces.

"yes please, I'm hungry" I said.

she handed me over a plate with the omelette already cut in pieces with a side bowl of rice.

I was done eating my breakfast and placed my dishes in the sink, then headed upstairs.

I got in my bed and just sat there. I didn't know what to do.

the time was 9:45 am and that meant that jisung was in second period I'm guessing? I don't know.

I was distracted by my phone vibrating again but it was on and off like it made a buzzing noise for two seconds then stopped for around five seconds then it buzzed again.

that's a normal notification felix...

when I checked the time it was 12:58 am. I didn't realise I was listening to music for that long. I got lost in my own world with music again.

I checked the notifications I thought it was jisung but it was an unknown person.

uhm. why is a random number texting me?

I opened up the messages and they read.

unknown
hey why aren't you in school today?
I need my umbrella back felix 😑.
sent 12:56 am

why does it bother him?
all he wants is his umbrella back.

sent 1:07 pm
