[Hands] JJK

jeongguk

jeongguk stared at his dorm door.

a weak sigh tumbled out of his mouth as he proceeded to remove a black backpack from his shoulders and place it onto the ground, lowering himself to his knees as he did so.

he tried his best to ignore the fact that his legs were indeed touching the ground.

the boy reached out his right hand and grasped the zip between his thumb and forefinger.

he begun to open the bag, revealing its contents.

jeongguk needed to make sure that everything was where it should be.

his chocolate eyes began to observe the items.

three textbooks; chemistry, physics, psychology. three notebooks; red, blue, purple. three pens; black, black, black. one water bottle. one phone pouch. one plastic zip-lock bag; money, keys, student ID.

the boy let out a staggered breath he was unaware he had been holding, and reached down to the zip-lock bag.

he slid the plastic lock across the seal and reached his right hand inside to retrieve his dorm key.

jeongguk could feel the plastic of the container grazing his cracked skin, the spare change teasing him as it bashed against his fingertips, the filthy and exposed lanyard clipped to his ID taunting him by ravelling around his skinny fingers, the coldness of the metal key chilling him, from which the bacteria was making its way onto his skin and into his body through the thousands of microscopic cuts, holes, gaps, tears, wounds and cracks in his hands which would enter his blood and travel throughout his entire body until he developed a life-threatening illness all because he needed to open his fucking dorm-

jeongguk grasped onto the key and pulled his right hand out of the bag.
