the bell ring before break always feel really long, but the walk to cafeteria isn't. this is awkward, whom am i suppose to eat with?

beomgyu and i made an eye contact after i looked at our usual table. his eyes seemed to call me to sit with him but there's no action from him. so i assumed he don't want to have meals with me.

i'm not close to anyone. i planned to give my tray meal to somebody that need it but by a sudden i got a tap on my shoulder from behind. i turned around, it's taehyun.

"wanna eat together?" he asked with a big smile. cute. i can say. he's not like the nerd that me and beomgyu had made fun of. he looks different. i nodded as a yes as i'm actually kinda hungry.

we walked our way to the end corner of the cafeteria. i never knew these seats exist. "have a seat, areum." he said as he pulled the chair for me. what a gentleman.  i smiled and mumbled an inaudible thank you.

we started our meals with a very awkward situation but we just kept eating until i sneezed again for the thousand-th times. "your nose already turned red. are you sure, you okay? you don't wanna go back home?" taehyun instantly put his chopsticks and spoon down and looked at me. he gave me a handkerchief from his school shirt pocket i declined at first but he insisted.

"yea, i'm pretty sure i'm okay. don't worry." i said as i chuckled. "okay then." he said as he continued eating. "just don't forget to keep yourself warm always. will give you my extra heat packs from my bag when we reach class." he uttered.

i nodded but then i felt someone inserting something inside of my padded jacket. "no need to reach class to get heat packs. i have mine, you should just ask from me earlier. keep yourself warm. i don't want you to get sick." it's beomgyu. he sounded cold. cold just like the night he rejected me.
