Limerence (Serendipity #2)

Chapter 5

The lecturer's voice drained out the existence of exhausted students. Almost like a chant to send everyone off into a deep slumber. The sounds of rhythmic typing and pen clicking setting the ambience of the room. It felt as if I was stuck in a time warp where time was exponentially slowing down.

"Class Dismissed"

"Finally gosh i'm starving" a girl muttered.

"I'm screwed for the upcoming quiz man" Another said.

I walked out with a sigh, losing hope and thoughts of failure shuffling in my mind. The stress began to stir inside of me.

*beep*

Jungkook - Are you off class now? Did you want to get lunch together?

The fragrant aroma of Asian spices infuses the warming atmosphere. The dimmed lighting, the loud ambience of mutters and distant chatter and laughter.

Students lining up in a disorderly fashion, with white slips in hand. Trays assembled along the benchtop, like an army of men preparing for war.

"Do you eat here often?" Jungkook asked.

I shook my head in response,

"I'm usually busy with studies and projects, so I often just get something quick and call it a meal" I explained.

"Order 71 and 72!" the cashier called out. Before I could get a firm grasp on the tray, a pair of hands lifted my tray along with his.

"I got it, just choose a table" he said calmly. We sat down and I looked in awe at the delectable dish. The curry sauce, like a light gravy, mingling through the crevices of the rice mound. The pieces of fried chicken shielded by a golden coating, like armour for a shining knight. A white body swimming in sauce. The golden yolk peeped out from it's white exterior.

Pigging out, as if it were my last meal.

"Omg this is so good" I exclaimed. He chuckled.

"I'm glad you are enjoying it"

My expression grew dull at the call of Jungkook's name. The group approached us, one of the guys tossed a water bottle in Jungkook's trajectory.
