CHENLE TOOK A deep breath, held it for a moment, and then proceeded to groan loudly into his pillow.

it had been an extremely boring day. his teachers at school seemed to drone on and on about the subjects they were learning in the most bland way possible. plus, his favorite teacher was out of school that day. they also had yet another beginning of the year assembly, which meant talking about expectations, exams, etc.

he had to go home alone, too. renjun, jaemin, and donghyuck went out after classes ended, mark was hanging out at taeyong's place, jeno and jisung were at dance classes. even chenle's mother was out doing who knows what. all chenle had done since he got home was either sit on the couch or his bed, stare at the ceiling, check his phone, and then continue staring at the ceiling.

he considered eating food the entire time, but he didn't let himself, knowing it would lead to him eating the whole kitchen as a way to relieve his boredom.

chenle sighed as he checked the clock: 17:46. jisung's dance classes wouldn't get out for another hour or so. he groaned, pulling his phone back out. he would text jisung anyway, and maybe his classes would magically end.

dolphin boi 🐬: jisuunngggg
dolphin boi 🐬: i'm so bored it hurts

he locked his phone and stared at the black screen waiting for a reply. call him desperate, sure, but... well, you wouldn't be wrong.

a few minutes later, his screen lit up with a notification. bingo!

jisungpwark: shut up we're on break rn

dolphin boi 🐬: i miss u come back

jisungpwark: too bad
jisungpwark: go take a walk or something

dolphin boi 🐬: but walks are better with u ):

jisungpwark: go hang out with renjun maybe?

dolphin boi 🐬: he's with our other bitchass friends

jisungpwark: welp idk man
jisungpwark: break is over, sorry lele :/ i'll text you later

dolphin boi 🐬: jisUNG NOooOoOOOoOoOO

chenle whined, rolling off the couch and hitting the ground with a 'thump!' he stayed there for a moment, his face pressed against the cold hardwood floor, before he decided to listen to jisung's recommendation.

he pushed himself off the floor and threw on his shoes and a jacket (even though it was august). he made sure to shove his earbuds in, blasting day6 on high volume. chenle grabbed a few dollars from his backpack, which was still lying in the middle of the living room, and left his house.

he chose to walk to the nearest convenience store, which was only about ten minutes away. the warm summer air hugged chenle's skin, but it wasn't hot enough to convince chenle to take off his jacket. the sun was just starting to fall, leaving the soft clouds a light peach against the still blue sky. chenle admired the view as he strolled down his street.

his neighborhood was fairly quiet tonight. there weren't many people around, minus the little kids playing in the backyard of the house on the corner. it was peaceful, and the slight breeze blew through chenle's blonde hair.

he passed the street jisung's house was on and briefly considered visiting mrs. park, before deciding against it. maybe he'd do that after grabbing a snack and a possible banana milk.

it didn't take him long to reach the store. it was a small little place, owned by a japanese family that chenle knew quite well. their son was off in college, so they ran the store to pass time. they were friendly, always offering homecooked kimchi to customers. he walked into the store and greeted mrs. terada with a warm smile and a hello before walking over to the ramyeon.

after picking out his favorite and making it in the microwave that mr. terada had recently repaired, chenle paid for it and left the store.

chenle brought his ramyeon to the little picnic table out front and placed it down, eating it as he watched the sun set from behind the buildings. he took his phone from his pocket and sat it in front of him, scrolling through instagram. wow, even my instagram feed sucks today.

chenle finished his ramyeon and laid his head down on his arms, closing his eyes and just enjoying the breeze.

jisungpwark: we just got out
jisungpwark: chenle ?? did u go to sleep or something u normally answer immediately
jisungpwark: wHY ARE U SLEEPING IN FRONT OF THE CONVENIECE STORE
