just another love story

recollect

we passed by the window, and I took the moment of brief silence as he looked outside to recollect my thoughts.

I fell over and hit the ground because a taller boy who coincidentally was the boy that sabotaged my brain ran into me at full speed, and now we're walking together with only a two-inch separation between our shoulders.

what did I get myself into?

"damn, the buses left," he muttered, but I most definitely heard and most definitely panicked.

"oh, shoot, I'm sorry," I apologized, slapping my face in my imagination.

of course, I had to be the chosen one to cause this.

"no, it's okay. I don't particularly like buses anyway," he assured, though I wasn't convinced. "they're too loud."

well, that was shocking.

maybe it was the fact that I actually found something I could relate to on a spiritual level, or that I had a big weight of guilt on my shoulders, or that my brain still wasn't functioning with how close we were to each other yet I just formerly met him - but my mouth spoke words before my mind said "what the hell are you thinking."

"do you want to walk home with me?"

I wasn't expecting any specific answer. the chances of him living near me and my small rich neighborhood were pretty slim anyway.

"sure, but where do you live? I live on Spring Dove."

okay, maybe it wasn't as slim as I thought.

damnit.

Yoo Kihyun, one of the few that haven't been out of state more than twice. he knows his neighborhood like the back of his hand.

only recently, he got so busy that walks around the block weren't so common, but it never came to mind that property actually sold on his street.

not until now, at least.
