∞ cafeteria

@ⓛ jaebum i. /there's the prelude of hunger rumbling in the pit of my stomach, muffled sound ringing in my ears and proliferating milld anxiety that instills me, petite scintillas dancing across the surface of my skin, evoking a particular shiver and i know, i know i should have eaten something, my insides reminding me of it in the manner less subtle than i would want to ; an effervescent sensation tingles the space that should be occupied by the fluttering wings of butterflies flying in the grand swarm upon seeing the loved one, the feeling elicited not by a comely, charming person but the smell of the food teasing my nostrills, making me blindly follow the shapeless, invisible traces that bring me to the cafeteria, where i am met with the sight of plethora of unknown faces ( perhaps i have seen them, but the visages imprinted in my head have so far belonged to the superheros ) ㅡ and it seems like the literal hunger games, various groups forming, none being attractive to me/
i'll just eat
/the timbre of my voice is the tranquil, quiet softness encasing the words uttered under my breath, hesitant small steps grow bolder as i advance, a small gleam simultaneously appearing in the dark canvas of my orbs, gamboling in innocent felicity at the sight of something ( probably ) edible. lithe yet strong fingers take the tray, knuckles dangerously close to painting themselves white as i indulge myself in the world of smell and silent brooding over possibilities of indigestion, judging from the quality of some products/
"i know you look sick kid, but where's the money?"
/the lady behind the counter halts abruptly the train of my thoughts, eyes widening in the momentary shock, accompanied by the parted tiers unable to elicit any coherent explanation of my goldfish memory.
well, uhm, funny story, you seeㅡ
