i groaned as my alarm went off, the endless beeps forcing itself past my hands that covered my ears. i grumpily got out from under my covers, pouting and whining as i threw my blankets to the side of my bed frame. i was exhausted from the lack of sleep i needed but nonetheless, i forced myself out of bed anyways.
i headed to the kitchen, expecting my mom to be there getting ready for work, but much to my surprise, there was nothing but a note:
sorry love, i left early today due to an important meeting i have. your breakfast is on the table for you. i hope you enjoy it, its a bit different. i made some oatmeal and hot cocoa for you. a bit foreign, wouldnt you agree?
have a lovely day at school sweetie, im going to be home later as well. i wont be back until after supper at least, as im going to visit a friend.
love you lots!

i smiled at the note. reading the words, knowing she cared so deeply about me made my mood better in an instant. but- if shes not gonna be here to see me leave and come back from school, do i really need to leave at all?
i grinned at the thought of staying home, not doing anything, not having to talk to anyone, ill be free from everything! i grabbed my phone from off the counter and messaged hyunbin.

i finally sat down at the table and began eating breakfast, when suddenly my mind reflected back on the not my mom wrote. foreign, foreign... foreigner? foreigner. but who.. its on the tip of my tongue. why cant i remember? ...foreigner.. new student? ah! kenta! right!
my eyes went wide, realizing i both dipped from his house the night before, and was planning to ditch him at school. what kind of friend am i?
at that moment a knock was heard from my front door. i opened it, and as expected, it was hyunbin. i put on my shoes while simultaneously trying to shove him back outside, and then closed the door once i was out.
"dude, why are we outside? i thought we were staying at your place-"
"c'mon."
i grabbed onto hyunbin's arm as i ran down the street, trying my hardest to get to kenta's house as fast as possible. the look on hyunbinnies face was priceless, i must admit. the amount of confusion and anger mixed together can make some pretty weird expressions.
about 5 minutes passed by the time we got there. i ran to the door and knocked as loud as i could, hoping for a response. please be at the door.
the door opened almost instantly, actually. i was pretty surprised. "donghan, how come you're here? we have school-"
"wanna come to my house instead? hyunbin's coming over too."
kenta looked hesitant. he looked at me, then at hyunbin, and back to me.
"hold on." he muttered as he shut the door on us, leaving the both of us puzzled, although it wasn't long until the door opened once more, revealing a bag over his shoulder.
"ok, we can go now." he sighed, a limp smile across his thin lips. of course kenta wouldn't ever have a problem with skipping, i mean, he lives alone so its up to him if he wants to attend or not. we began walking down the street, each of us just awkwardly glancing at each other from time to time, the scilence becoming more and more apparent as time goes by.
after what seemed like forever, we finally reached my house once again. i opened the door and let the other two inside before i shut the door once again, leaving the three of us in the doorway attempting to get our shoes off without knocking each other over.
-○-○-
i wanna know what kenta has in the bag. im curious. is it a secret? a gift? heck, maybe its just his school supplies and such. one thing was for sure, though.
i need to stop being so nosy.
we ventured into the kitchen and sat down on the stools placed by my counter. hyunbin and kenta tried their best to introduce themselves to eachother (which i just laughed at, they were so awkward i almost choked) and then we chatted. most of the time it was just me and hyunbin laughing about school and such, with kenta staring down at the marble counter, but once we noticed, we tried our best to make sure he felt included.
it was getting to be around lunch (or at least we thought, we were starving). i was planning on getting some leftovers from the fridge, already on my way to do so, when i noticed: 'wait, where the fuck did my fridge go? uh-'
"hey donghan, wheres your fridge? im starving!"
how did i legitimately not realise my fridge was gone? am i stupid? is this why mom made oatmeal this morning? cause there was no fridge for anything cold? i put my palm to my face, just sighing in disappointment and sadness. am i just gonna have to starve?
•°*kenta*°•
i noticed that hannie and binnie were sad, but i didnt know why. was something wrong? i looked around the room trying to find what made them sad. was it me? i hope it wasnt me.
soon enough i find myself looking at an empty spot in the kitchen. why were they looking there? whats missing? ... a fridge? is that what it is? are they hungry? i decided to ask, in which they just nodded.
perfect!
"hold on." i said as i took the bag from off my shoulder and placed it gently on the table. inside i had three bento boxes (i always pack extra just incase) filled with the food i made. i toom them out and put them back down in front of them. "i brought these for you. i hope you like it." i mumbled, nervously waiting to see if they would enjoy it or not.

after losing almost all hope in eating a decent lunch, i notice kenta looking at the both of us like a lost puppy. he always looks so innocent and concerned. it makes me smile a bit. suddenly he starts taking his bag off his shoulder and pulling out what seems to be containers? what is it? he puts them in front of us, and then quietly says, almost even whispers, "i brought these for you. i hope you like it."
i smiled. knowing he cared so deeply about me made my mood better in an instant.
