oh no.

oh no oh no oh no.

ryewon is falling down the stairs.

how does she even-

scared and worried, i reached out for her small figure, and luckily, caught her in my arms. my heart did a mini summersault. low-key died, to be very honest.

"uhh, you okay?" i asked awkwardly, "wanna touch my hair again?"

she looked at me, then started laughing like a hyena. she then punched me, "nice joke. you can put me down now. thanks for saving me."

"ouch," i put my hand over my heart, "that hurt my feelings."

"how i can hurt your feelings when you don't even have a heart? or a life?" she snickered at my rolled eyes, "anyway, i still gotta bring my dog home. and drink my coke, mind you. see ya!"

"i think," i started, "that you forgot we lived near each other. like, really near each other. plus your dog is still at my apartment. i'll go get her for you."

flustered, ryewon's faced flushed, "okay smartass, you win this time. now let's go. i ain't waiting for no one."

i was just lying on my bed when the one and only bitch, gowon, came home.

"what's up? how was it, hanging out with someone other than me?" she wiggled her eyebrows at me.

i threw her a bag of chips, "they actually appreciate the fact that i play league of legends, even though i suck at it. by the way, i WAS going to drink my precious coca cola, but then i thought, 'maybe i should be nice to the descendant of trash for once', so i saved you some. you're welcome."

she sat down next to me and rambled on and on about her crush, jeno, who posted something new on instagram.

or is it jaemin?

actually scratch that, she probably has a crush on both.

or does she?

confused, i squinted my eyes at her, "wait so i spaced out. again. who do you like, jeno or jaemin?"

she gasped dramatically, "no no no! neither! i mean, they're both cute, but no one in this world can top renjun!" she then proceeded to talk about how injun (?? i don't know i forgot his name oops) gave her a smile today.

wait. now i remember. we sat next to each other last year for like 2 months. he's the one who greets everyone! i actually remember something!

"hey gowon! i remember! he's that kid with crooked teeth who's also super nice and lent me his pencil!" i jumped up in excitement, "i remember! you can now no longer call me ryegoldfish-- wait what's his name again?"

she face-paned in disappointment, "oh god...how are you even alive?"

"i'm not," i reluctantly replied, "i almost, like, died today."

i sound like a youtuber.

"bitch the fuck?? please be more careful. we got school tomorrow and i don't want to be dragging a dead corpse around."

"too bad. now get out. i wanna sleep."

idk what's happening.
