can you even make ramyeon?

0011

we both walked in silence.

every time my shoulder grazed against his, i felt like screaming out—i thought i was going to explode. these foreign feelings were making me feel strange and i did not appreciate them.

at all.

as we walked up my drive, i turned to jaehyun. he stood, hands in his pocket, waiting for me to go inside.

but i knew solitude was not what i needed right now.

i gathered the courage to speak.

"um, can you come in? you see, i'm alone and i just feel like some company."

he stared at me blankly.

"pleaeeeease?" i started, "seo-yun is all alone you shouldn't leave her like thi—"

"open the door then." he shot me a bored look.

i grinned at him, "thanks."

i clumsily made my way into the house, before showing him into my living room. he looked around, almost taking in every detail. i gulped and excused myself so i could get out of these stupid uncomfy jeans.

coming back moments later, feeling much more like myself in long winter pyjamas, i sat next to jaehyun on the couch.

i was starting to relax when yet again i came to the realisation this essay was not about to write itself. in the process of getting up, my grumbles were interrupted by the sound of a rumbling stomach. i chuckled and glanced at the guilty-looking jaehyun, who looked away sheepishly. rolling my eyes, i dialled, dialling the familiar number of the pizza place i found myself contacting frequently.

i then proceeded to the dining table, opening my laptop and grabbing what seemed like hundreds of annotated sheets i had written prior to that evening. to my surprise, jaehyun got up and sat opposite me, resting his chin lazily on his hand and watching me work.

"no pressure, eh?" i laughed nervously.

he rolled his eyes and gestured his hand for me to continue.

rude.

we chattered away for a while as i worked. and by chatter, i mean i relentlessly talked whilst he nodded in understanding (whether it was genuine or fake, i did not know) and chuckled occasionally at what i assumed was simply my talkative nature.

40 minutes later, the pizza arrived and i blew my hair out of my face in frustration as i groggily stared at the screen. only one paragraph?!

i groaned, and got up to answer the door when jaehyun reached over and pushed me back down, giving my shoulders a reassuring squeeze before answering it himself. i smiled at the gesture, feeling my eyes become ever so heavy.

i rested my head casually on the table and got lost in an abyss of unconsciousness.
