"So you have been ditching your friends to play Cinderella on the streets these days?" The voice is purely blunt,mockery dripping in every single syllable .

Derisive laughters mingle with that of mindless chatters,unlike voices immersed in latest tittle-tattles. The college cafeteria brims with varying bodies, clustering around the the squared,gaudy tables and serving new,sizzling stories.

I take a mouthful bite of the chicken alfredo spaghetti. "Hyungg i-it's not what you think,this Cinderella was actually fighting cheap gangsters" I swallow the food with quick peristaltic movements before diving for another.

"Jesus Jimin,no one's coming for your food,take it slow" Seokjin mocks,concealing the worry in is words and diving in his own platter.I simply nod before taking another enormous bite of the spaghetti.

"So you were out on streets with a bunch of notorious criminals chasing after you with daggers whom you simply knocked out with what? Eggs?" Curious,Jin stirs another conversation,disbelief evident in his voice.

"Jungkook will explain." I gesture towards the brawny,quite male who hastily snaps his neck with a bewildered gaze.

Jungkook was hesitant and fidgety to tag along to the cafeteria, wanting to flee to the same stranded garden to have his meal in complete isolation. He hadn't even asked me to accompany him,partly, because he knew I had friends of my own.

Seokjin tilts his head at Jungkook,anticipating a response meanwhile the other nervously fidgets with straps of his cargo pants.

"Y-yes. Jimin hyung and I threw eggs against their head and blinded t-their vision with eggy fluids." Jungkook voices with a shaky,lil grin over the lips.

I take note of Jin hyung's tender gaze towards the male,his blabbering mouth morphing into a sweet smile and his eyes sparkling with adoration,eagerness to protect.

"That's so far the first phase he has uttered." Hyung faintly smile to himself before speaking yet another trail of words.

"Jungkook-ah be casual,we all are lonely,restless and unpaid creatures. We all are the same." Jin boldly expresses,striving to fill the other with assurance.

"I'm sorry hyung but aren't you older than me?" Jungkook obliviously blurts.

Silence prevails momentarily,before shattering into innumerable pieces with cackles that involuntarily escapes my mouth,uncontrollably loud. My body jerks forward as the laughters tickle the skin,denying to die down

On my opposite,Jin plasters a pretended grin,his lips twitching to break into a scowl,urging to chide the younger all day long but surprisingly maintains his composure.

In between the chortles, I twirl my fork around the creme white spaghetti and devour it,definitely an unwise decision.

The diverted spaghetti soon obstructs the wind pipe,creating a fierce burning sensation down the throat. I wheeze,lunging forward and against the gaudy table all while trying to cease the laughters.

"Oh my god,Jimin. Eat slowly" Jin worriedly passes the glass of water meanwhile Jungkook quickly reaches to pat and stroke the back.

Jungkook nods. "Hyung you can't gain all the stamina at once."

"Had you been this desperate to gain proper education then you would have known that one cannot increase their stamina in spur of a moment." Jin disses.

"HEY! Who said I was trying to increase my stamina!? I just happen to like this dish and what about it?" I cross my arms.

"Sure." Jin and Jungkook speak in unison which makes the latter smile in new found ease.
