THE PIZZA
PLACE.

right now i'm sitting here at a pizza place i've never been to before. completely clueless and waiting for a certain someone to come out the bathroom. might i mention, this certain someone has been in the bathroom for almost an hour.

i look at the clock and contemplate whether or not i wanna just leave.

it was only yesterday ever since i've met my second rival.

-

"excuse me, do you know where i can find the library?" actually, i already knew where the library was. i just had to make up an excuse to get his attention.

"you're asking me? oh, well i'll go show you!" yeonjun said, maybe a little too enthusiastically. he seems nice, but i'm not here to make friends.

yeonjun leads me to the library, asking me plenty of questions along the way. i didn't even get to answer some of the questions he asked since he talks so much.

"so did you just move here soobin?" he turns around to look at me walking right behind him.

"um- how do you know my name-" i was confused until yeonjun cuts me off again.

"wait a minute, did you try that pizza place near our school? i heard they have unique different types of pizza. i'll go take you there next time we meet! do you like pizza?" yeonjun was literally talking at the speed of light that i could barely understand him.

"umm.. yea i guess." i shrug. i seriously don't know what this dude's problem is.

"great! then meet me tomorrow after school, it's friday so if you bring a friend you get another pizza for free!" ah shoot, i had plans to bump into another rival of mine. taehyun is always in the library after school.

"oh actually- i can't-" once again, i was cut off by this talking machine.

"oh don't worry soobin, the pizza is all on me! don't worry about the money." yeonjun straightens his back, feeling proud of how much of a good friend he is. "although, you wouldn't mind if you payed for my bus ticket right?" i sigh and give him a forced smile.

"no, i don't." i furiously nod my head and yeonjun starts to nod his head with me.

"great, great!" then yeonjun looks at his watch and gasps at the time.

"oh no, i've got to go soobin! i've got football practice!" yeonjun starts running off, "make sure to meet me tomorrow!"

-

and that's why i'm here, still wondering what the heck yeonjun is doing. we haven't even started eating yet and it seems like he's taking a huge dump.

"are you ready to order now?" the waiter asks me for the fourth time.

"ah, no sir. not ready yet." the waiter squints his eyes at me, a little suspicious at my response.

"are you sure? it's been two hours and you still haven't ordered yet." he asks, seeming quite annoyed.

"yes i'm sure." i sigh.

"are you really sure?"

"YES, i am. now stop asking me for god's sake." i huff out. he was beginning to get on my nerves.

the waiter squeaks, "i'm sorry sir." and he scurries off.

i'm going to kill choi yeonjun once i land my eyes on him.

YEONJUN'S
POV. (two hours ago)

i walk into the bathroom, wanting to use the toilet. that was until i opened one of the stalls to see a homeless man sleeping there. my eyes widen.

"AHHH!!!" i scream, causing the homeless man to jolt awake.

"WHAT THE FU-" i cut him off, since i was so terrified at the moment.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" i ask in fear. the bathroom looked disgusting, but then again he too looked kind of gross.

the man sighed and looked at me straight in the eye.

"look kid," he starts off, "i won't hurt you or anything. i'm just in need of a place to sleep." my eyes instantly soften.

"really? why's that?"

"well don't you see me kid, i'm homeless." my eyes widen again. a homeless person!

"oh my gosh! do you need help? do you want me to call my mom?!" i grip onto the man's shoulders.

"what no- wait- well actually.. i do. i'm in need of food." i gasps, knowing the right thing to do.

"do not fear kind sir! just hold this for me, i think i have a few coins in my pocket." i hand him my wallet that was also in my pocket. but as i was searching for spare change..

"hey, i found some coi-" i look up to see the man already running off.... with my wallet.

"HEY! GET BACK HERE THIEF!" i run out the restaurant, following the man's footsteps. i run and run, but then i suddenly lost track of where he went.

i was already in the middle of the sidewalk, way past the pizza restaurant. oh yea, speaking of the restaurant.. soobin. and right on time, i see soobin walking up to me. i was going to wave at him until i noticed he seemed angry as he got closer.

"oh, soobin! you will not believe what just-" and before i knew it,

i was punched in the nose.

[looks like someone is back from writer's block. hope not a lot of people forgot about this story yet...]
