eyes ; ha yoonbin

"sijin honey, you gotta wake up" my mom nudges me awake. i looked at her with a squint on my eyes and a confusion plastered onto my face.

"it's 6.50am. you have 25 minutes to get ready or else we'll be late" she kisses my forehead and walks out of the room.

another day. i got up and walked to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. i don't do morning showers because it takes too much time to dry my hair. i always tend to sleep in for 15 minutes so showering is a no-no for me. unless i wake up early, or when i feel like i have to take a shower. i do leave out my hair though. i shower the night before i go to sleep so i am still fresh when i wake up. 

i put on my uniform and placed my bag over my shoulders. i wen tout of my room and greeted mom and dad with a quick wave and smile. i ate cereal quick and slid on my shoes.

"mom, are you ready?" i shout.

"yes, dear. 2 minutes." she shouts back a reply.

my mom brings me to school on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays. my dad on tuesdays and thursday. since he brings me to school the least, he drives the family around on weekends if we're going out. reason why they give me a ride to school is because their work is around my school timing. 

"you should take the keys and wait for me in the car" my mom tells me and i fetch the key from the key hook beside the door. 

i got down to the carpark and pressed the key as i held my hand up high. it's really cool. reason why i want a car real soon.

i got into the car and waited. i scrolled through my social media as i wait for my mom. 5 minutes pass and i could see her running to the car.

"good morning dear" she says as she enters the car.

"morning" i cheerfully said.

"how's school by the way? i didn't had time to mention it yesterday because work was hectic" she starts the engine and drives off almost immediately.

"it's fine. i made a new friend. her name is jiwoo. she's really nice and a cool person. i also have this table mate that pissed me off. i asked to be his friend but he doesn't want to. he also acts coldly. to everyone." i say about the day.

"wow, i'm sure he would be more warmer if you talk to him more. and you should invite jiwoo to our house next time and spend time together. your friends are always welcome." she says as she focuses on the road. she drives faster as i was going to be late. 

"hmm, not sure about him though. apparently, no one dares to touch him because of his attitude and i might talk to him if necessary but i'm not sure if he'll be "warmer" as time grows by" i tell her. she looks at me with a face clearing saying that she doubts my words.

"but i'm kinda getting interested in his attitude. it's quite fun to piss him off when he ain't in the mood like he always do." i smile at my mom and she doesn't reply as she focuses on the road.

both of my parents drive safely. they do talk at times when the road situation is calmer but they prefer not to talk when there's a lot of cars to avoid any distraction and an accident.

my school could be seen from a far and i have 5 minutes left on the clock before i get booked on my second day in school.

as we drove nearer to school, i see a familiar person walking at the side way from a far. yoonbin. he's still strolling despite the 5 minutes that we have left.

"mom, can you pull over at that guy at the front and press a honk?" i pointed at yoonbin and my mom follows.

he looks at the honk and i pull down my window. 

"hey, there's 5 minutes left. at your walking speed, you'll be late. hop on and we'll ride together" i shout because he doesn't walk nearer to the car.

"if you didn't know, i'm always late" he says loud enough for me to hear. he's literally implying that he doesn't want a ride.

"see you in school then" i shout and told my mom to go on. 

"is that the guy you were talking about" my mom looks at me and i nod.

"at least he replied" my mom shrugs and continues speeding to school.

we reached school 2 minutes before the bell rang.

"bye mom, love you" i wave a goodbye and she waves one back too.

i look back at the road side to see how yoonbin is coping with the time restrain to see him still strolling his way. i shake my head and ran into school to save my ass from detention.

i shouldn't even be worrying about him.
