The city was filled with commotion, as any city usually is

Heros walking in the daylight

Villains roaming in the night time

And you... you had overslept. again. Your insomnia had been kicking your ass lately and you couldn't afford to lose your job at the pharmacy

After all, it was your only source of income for your tuition

You took out a pair of dumplings from the fridge you had made that weekend and place them inside your bag

You grabbed your lab coat and made your way out the door

Running through a pool of people you were struggling to put on your labcoat on one arm while balancing your lunch bag in the other

You turned a corner when you felt your face get buried in something hard

You stumble back and tripped on your feet

Nice going [y/n] it's not like you're running late already

"Easy doc, careful who you run into" you heard a raspy voice speak to you

Hurriedly you scramble trying to get back on your feet while glancing down at your watch

Crap, I'm definitely going to get fired today

Completely ignoring the person in front of you, you sputtered a "sorry" while fixing your lab coat and running off. Accidentally leaving behind your bag on the floor

------------------------------------

"I'M HERE" You blurted, gasping for air and clenching your chest, "I-I , don't fire, I promise I won't be late, I- I just need some.." you gasped trying to get some air

"Yikes  [y/n] don't die on me. It's fine, just start sorting out the antibiotics I need to head out" your co-worker instructed

You made your way towards the back and started sorting out the antibiotics

"Get it together" you muttered to yourself

Stain's gone, and you're no longer a kid. Time to grow up

------------------------------------

The day went on with you greeting customers, helping them out, and handing out prescriptions

You saw the clock

1:00

Lunch time you devilishly smiled

Thinking of the yummy dumplings you had made last night

When suddenly it hit you

You dropped your bag when you ran into the stranger this morning. Your bag. The one carrying your precious soft homemade dumplings

"No no no no" you hissed

Not my dumplings

Not to be dramatic or anything but that was the only thing you were looking forward for today. Those lumps of bread filled with meat and steamed vegetables... man just the thought of them was making your mouth water

And now they were lying down somewhere in the streets being eaten by birds

Or worse in someone else's mouth

You slammed your head down on the counter letting yourself drown in despair

When suddenly a voice interrupted your thoughts

"𝘿𝙤𝙘, 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙨?"
