03 ; again

jisoo peeled his eyes open. the birds' chirping and the sun's bright ray greeting him in the morning as he rubbed his eyes tiredly.

he looked out of his bedroom window. he stared at nothing in particular, a sigh escaping his lips. it was a morning jisoo knew well he shouldn't be out of bed.

alas, jisoo eventually had to leave the comfort of his pillows and blanket to get ready for his work shift later in the day.

he lifted himself off the bed lazily, stretching his arms and yawning in the process. he grabbed a set of clothes from his closet and entered his bathroom, ready to start the day early.

he took a box of cereal out of the kitchen cupboard and poured an abundant amount of it in his bowl before pouring in the milk.
(cereal before milk squad 😤✊)

he brought the bowl out into his small living room, settling it down on his small 'dining' table infront of his small cozy sofa.

he then opened the windows wide enough for the fresh morning air to waft into his apartment. the neighborhood he was living in was a small beautiful town located in the suburban city of seoul. the residents were all of kind hearts and welcoming smiles.

he inhaled the early morning dew in the atmosphere with a small smile.

jisoo soon settled down on the sofa, munching on his cereal as he scrolled through several social media platforms. he had about 15 minutes left before he had to make his way to the bookstore for his shift at 10 am.

as if on que, the thought of minkyung popped into his mind. he stopped scrolling and looked up, ahead of his phone screen, pursing his lips into a thin line.

jisoo didn't exactly know why he was thinking of that certain petite lady at this time of the day. maybe it wasn't so strange to think of somone at any time of the day. maybe it was because jisoo couldn't help but notice how incredibly attractive she was.

he didn't believe in love at first sight, that was one thing because looks wasn't something jisoo worried about alot. minkyung was another totally different topic. sure, they only met the day before but he was already mesmerized by her aura after only one conversation.

he didn't know why jeonghan seemed so bothered by the fact that she'd visit the store on a daily basis. maybe one day he'd ask her why. regular customers came 4 times a week. jisoo learnt that he'd come to love that.

minkyung was welcoming, friendly and so beautiful; her beauty almost didn't need to be shown physically. jisoo decided that he liked that the most about her.

a smile started to form on his lips the more he thought about her and he found it so hard to wipe off.

his mind was suddenly so etched on minkyung that morning, that he practically abandoned his bowl of cereal and let the time flow away like a river. that was how much just the thought of her could affect his morning, but in a good way.

when he finally realised that reality existed, he almost fell off the couch when he saw the time.

he hastily ate up the rest of his soggy cereal and rushed to the kitchen to wash the bowl. he then grabbed his pair of socks and his bag from his bedroom, running to the front door to slip on his socks and his shoes.

it wasn't like the mall was a 5 minute walk away. if he didn't rush out now, he'd miss the bus and had to wait for another 20 minutes. on top of that, the bus ride took another 15 minutes of his time.

when he was finally out of his apartment lobby, he was basically sprinting to the bus stop. the bus had arrived and he was flailing his arms in the air in hopes that the bus driver saw him.

thankfully, he did and jisoo managed to get on the bus. he was panting and a small bead of sweat trickled down his forehead.

but even when rushing for his life, the thought of her was still left lingering in his mind.
