*thud.

This was the 10th time he bumped into something while walking for nearly 1 or more minute.

Hi everyone, I am Kim Seungmin, 23, male. Welcome to my boring , weird as pufferfish life.

Seungmin sighed. His hands tightening in frustration. Well how could you expect someone to walk straight when your eyes are stuck on the road while walking instead of looking up?

"10 minutes ahead" the Naver map assistant spoke in a loud voice. Well it was not the unreal person who spoke loudly but the microphone volume that was kept high mistakenly by Seungmin. He had kept it high because some minutes ago he was at a crowded place.

Now that the place he was in was much quiet he felt embarrassed as the people esent around him turned their heads towards him at the loud sound. He bowed multiple times to them. And ran out of that way as soon as possible.

"Huhh" he let out a sigh of relief as he reached the bus stop he was searching since half an hour.

He walked towards the bus stop as fast as possible. There he sat on the one of the benches placed there. He layed his back as his legs were sore from walking since a long time. Many people were there waiting for the bus. Normally he would get anxiety but now with a heavy piano bag on his back, and worn out legs, he did not care about the surroundings anymore.

He just sat there for a few seconds when some people started to cluster in front of him. There was some space left beside him. And an women sat beside him. He sat in an awkward position as he was the getting sponged between two big women by both sides.

And obviously he wouldn't dare open his mouth to speak about his discomfort to them. A women stood in front of him. She kept looking at him for who knows why. He thought maybe she was looking somewhere else. But it kept making him uncomfortable.

Not able to take the gaze anymore he looked up to see that women actually looking at him. He immediately looked somewhere else feeling awkward.

He felt get burn under her gaze. The bloody sun was already a reason. And he was being a sandwich between the two ladies already.

He got up from the seat. The women who was looking at him sat on his place in instant.

"Tsk she wanted me to get up." He chuckled dryly.

Now with no option left he was standing under the burning sun. He was getting a feel of having sunstroke. But he controlled himself. He didn't know what would happen if he fainted. He didn't want to create a scene. Also he will be late for class. He will be shown weak in front of everyone. He didn't want that. All unnecessary attention will be on him. In end he will be burden to everyone.

Gosh Seungmin stop overthinking so much.

He opened his bag which had his water bottle on the side. He took it. And drank the water to distract himself from his thoughts. The water numbed his tongue.

Omg this sun. I remember I bought fridge water. No it became boiled hot water. He still drank it.

"Ahh this summer, I am so thirsty." A grandma who was sitting on the bench said while wiping her sweat.

Seungmin looked at her. She looked tired. He felt bad for her. She is so old and still working while he is fresh young bachelor complaining about sillys.

Seungmin here she is old but still so strong and enthusiastic about working
and you are complaining about your life just because this is your first experience. So weak. So dumb. A burden.

Ah my overthinking is taking the end of me.

"Halmonim, please take this bottle of water. Sorry it's not cold but you can fly your thirst away" seungmin said turning to her.
