it is now lunch time, and i'm currently waiting in the line for food, usually with gowon, but she's not here right now. where is she, anyway?

jeongin:
you guys wanna eat lunch w/ us? :)

me:
one, sure
two, the smiley face is creepy. please remember to never use it unless you're threatening someone
three, where?

jeongin:
rooftop, since we have 11 ppl

me:
k
seen, 12:57

"yah! gowon!" i called from the line, "over here!"

gowon ran over to me, "sorry. got off socials late. guess what? we have to do this project, and i got partnered with jisung."

"ooh yes. ship is sailing," i clapped furiously, "when's your first date?"

"...no. just, no," she rolled her eyes, "anyway, i did say i'm treating you to lunch today. i'm guessing you want the bento box?"

i grinned, "my one and only."

"alright. i'm gonna say this just once. this is my treat because one, i told you that i would buy you lunch this morning, and two, for uhh, the whole jisung thing," she breathed out while grabbing our orders.

"sure sure. you're welcome, and thanks for the lunch," i gave her my ugliest grin i could muster.

she turned away, grossed out, "someone please remind me why we're friends again."

———

lunch consisted of various types of screams, shouts, and yells from different people. there's your regular loud boy jisung, and then there's jeongin with his iconic dolphin imitation. of course, you cannot forget changbin's gay ass.

sigh.

isn't lunch great?

"it is."

i turned around, only to find minho shaking his head.

"i swear. everyone's crazy except for us."

"well bud, you might be wrong on that. remember last week? yeah. i might've embarrassed myself just a little."

"...right. i forgot. i guess i'm the only normal one."

i nodded, "yup. that sounds about right."

suddenly, low and behold, the most common scene in stories was reenacted right in front of me. too close, actually.

"watch out!" i heard, but it was too late.

the basketball hit me, square in my face.

bullseye.

my mind blurred as i tried to open my eyes, but i could only see black.

is it a basketball?

"you okay?"

"someone call a teacher!"

"where's the kid who hit her? i swear to god."

however, one person shook my shoulders just a tad too much for me to forget.

"hey," jeongin frantically slapped my arms, trying to wake me up, "stay alive. holy crap."

yeah...nope.

then, my mind shut down completely.

i'm editing this, and eun.exe has stopped working.
