Chapter 3

Eggs


I hated everything.

"What are you staring at, bitch," I growled at the golden retriever whose eyes were set on me, grinning with its pink tongue lolling out of its mouth.

All the shock and calm wore off and now all that's left is a brittle bitterness. It felt like when you put in like fifteen packets of sugar in coffee, at first it tastes sweet, but you can tell it was still freaking bitter. 

Again, everything sucks.

I swung the bag of ingredients back and forth, careful not to break anything. I took just enough money to make the meal, I didn't even have enough money to buy band-aids to put over my cheek, in the place my 'mom's' ring caught when she bitch-slapped me. Ha-ha, good times.

My fingers ached to brush over the wound, but I clenched them close to my side, not wanting to infect the wound. I wanted to say it didn't hurt, I wanted to say it was just a scratch, I wanted to say I was only talking about my cheek.

The dog whimpered lightly lowering its head down, it golden fur shimmering in the streetlight. I sighed as I dropped to the ground next to it, my hand going forward toward its nose. The dog moved its fluffy head away from my hand indignantly as if offended.

"I'm sorry for cussing at you, love. I just had a really bad day, and you didn't help with your judgey eyes," I said my voice soft and apologetic. The dog simply leveled me with a dark look.

"Oh, don't look at me like that. You know exactly what I'm talking about." It turned its head refusing to look at me.

"Fine, be petty, I don't care," I declared, whipping my head to stare in the direction opposite of where the dog was sitting, acting like the extra bitch I am.

Focused on the bright headlights of the car approaching, the warm body next to me shifted, leaving the other half of my body cold.

"Where are you goi-" My eyes widened in horror as I watched almost in slow motion as the dog that was just next to me, ran into the path of the car, plopping fearlessly down in front of it.

Holy shit. My eyes were the size of golf balls while I shot up faster than a bullet, running into the path of a coming car like a lunatic.

"I'M SORRY FOR INSULTING YOU, I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT! I'M NOT WORTH LOSING YOUR LIFE OVER! DON'T COMMIT DOGGY SUICIDE!" I screamed erratically, my voice flooding the street, sprinting so fast Usain Bolt would get jealous. I reached up to move my hair out of my face, only to miss and hit my glasses instead, causing them to fly off my face.

"Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit," I whispered clasping onto the golden blob around its soft underbelly, waddling as fast I could away from the oncoming vehicle. I screamed an apology to the driver, who looked like he was about to piss himself, the dog wiggled in my arms like I was a death trap, instead of me being a savior of what I figured out was a not a bitch, but indeed a male dog.

Ew.

I finally made it to the sidewalk, dog, and groceries intact, letting a smug grin from the accomplishment take over my face. The moment I loosened my guard it/he flew out of my arms, the momentum throwing me forward into the poor unsuspecting blob exiting the dance studio just a few feet away from my flying form.

My body collided with his lean form, eliciting an oomph from his lips. My hand instinctively slipped underneath his head, burying itself into his silken hair. My hand struck the concrete, tearing the skin on my knuckles open, my brain briefly recognizing the sharp pain. I slammed on the body beneath mine, not having any free hands to support myself my body kept going. It smells nice... like rain? Eyes widened, our mouths collided, teeth clanged. He let a pained groan into my mouth as I snapped back.

"I'm so sorr- OH SHIT! MY EGGS!" I screeched, my voice so high and shrill, the person winced under me. I didn't pay any mind to him, too focused on the plastic bag cutting into my skin. I dove my hand into the bag, carefully pulling out the carton with the eggs. I pulled open the tabs keeping the box closed and cautiously pulled a pale egg out.

I let out a distressed shriek as I felt the crack in the delicate shell, the thick liquid dripping onto my fingertips. I couldn't take it anymore. At that moment holding an inedible egg and straddling a random dude, I broke down.

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!" I wailed thick tears pouring down my cheeks.

"MY POOR EGGS! I JUST WANTED ONE NICE DAY BEFORE I GRADUATED, BUT NOOOO! MY BOYFRIEND FUCKING CHEATED ON ME, WITH MY BEST FRIEND TOO. I WONDER IF HIS ACTUAL DICK IS JEALOUS OF HIS PERSONALITY. BUT OF COURSE, THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, THE SCHOLARSHIP I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR YEARS GOT CANCELED BY MY BITCHASS MOM WHO SMACKED ME SO HARD I BET MY ANCESTORS FELT IT. I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD FUCKING BANDAIDS BECAUSE ALL MY MONEY GOES TO FOOD, MY SIBLINGS, RENT, AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN EAT A GOOD MEAL. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE MY FREAKING EGGS BROKE!" I howled, half screaming half blubbering.

"AND NOW-" I continued, "I HAVE SOME RANDOM DUDE GROPING ME-" He hastily pulled his hands off my butt like he's been burned. I couldn't even feel offended as I was literally still sitting on him. 

"AND MY TITS HURT! AND MY HEART FEELS LIKE I'M BEING REPEATEDLY STABBED, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE HELL TO MAKE IT STOP. I CAN'T EVEN SEE SHI-" 

A deafening grumble cut through my sentence. It took me a second to realize it was coming from my stomach. I slumped my shoulders and just wept silently, not even bothering to brush off the strands of hair sticking to my dampened cheeks. All the strength inside of me just seeped out, leaving my bones and mind leaden, I was so tired. I slipped off the stranger and settled on the concrete burying my face in my knees. I hated that I was crying over people who I shouldn't give a shit about, in front of a stranger no less.

It's been a few minutes of me sobbing like a baby when I heard a nervous cough to my left. I sluggishly pulled my head up and look at the blob through bleary eyes. I couldn't even see him properly and I could still tell he was uncomfortable.

"You should go," I whispered, my voice still thick with emotion as I attempted to pull a smile, "Thank you for staying with me." I was starting to see a bit better, as the tears clouding my vision began to dry, but I still couldn't see his face. I watched in confusion as instead of running away he stayed down and resignedly squared his shoulders.

"Are- are you hungry?" His voice was low and smooth, it was like soft, rolling thunder that billows across skies on a stormy night. I had half a mind to have him speak into my phone and listen to his voice when I'm sad.

"Uh, yeah?" I said my voice still shaky. I pulled a deep breath in and out, the air laced with a sweet, fresh, powerfully evocative smell of fresh rain. I wonder if there was an air freshener with that scent, I'd buy it in tons. I cleared my throat, trying to keep weird thoughts out of my head.

"Yes," I said, stronger this time.

"There's a 24-hour convenience store 2 blocks down," Sexy voice said, offering his hand. I don't know what compelled me to slip my hand in his, but when I did, I prayed to whoever was listening that I wouldn't be kidnapped, raped, or brutally murdered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was slurping up ramen like I hadn't eaten in days.

"So, yeah I basically caught them in the act. At least they weren't stripped naked or some shit. I think that would have been better, that way they had a dumb, but still, a reason, to cheat, instead of just being bitches," I've cussed more to Sexy voice in the last hour, then I have to anyone in the last year.

He barely even looked at me, much less talked to me. Either he was severely regretting his decision, or he was sleeping with his eyes open.

"It's not like it hasn't happened before-" I paused, choking on my ramen when I realized what I just said. I literally never told anyone about Hanuel cheating on me before (willingly, of course, Soo Ji found me crying and told me she'd 'gouge out his eyeballs with a spoon, then force feed them to him,' if I didn't tell her what he did. Oh, the irony.)

"W-water" I spluttered my hands searching the table wildly, as coughs racked my body. He quickly handed me a bottle and I gulped it down desperately.

"What did you mean by that," he asked, his velvety voice caressing my skin when I got over my coughing fit.

"He cheated on me before. Not with Soo Ji, of course. I walked in on him and this girl in a grade above ours making out in his car. He had this big gesture and he promised to never do it again, I believed him. Hell, I probably would've still taken him back if it hadn't been Soo Ji, " I sighed and laid my head on the counter, peering up at him through my lashes.

"Pathetic, right?" I sighed, bitter laughter clinging to my words.

"It's not pathetic... You were just a better person then he deserved," He said quietly, voice softer than his hair, which was saying something.

"I wanna be you when I grow up," I whispered, staring at him in awe.

"huh?"

"Oh, nothing. Anyway, what about you? What's your story?"

"I don't have o- Oh, wait I actually got myself in a bit of trouble." He said, scratching the back of his head.

"You got a girl pregnant?!" I whisper-yelled, blurting out the first thing that came to mind. When a young guy (and I'm assuming hot considering how firm his body was) says he got in a bit of trouble, my first thought went to pregnancy, because I'm a totally normal person.

"What, no! Where did that even come from? I've been overworking myself, so now I'm in trouble with my management!" He said rushed, the whites of his eyes becoming more prominent. I laughed sheepishly.

"Oops?"

"So, what's your name?" I asked, realizing I was eating with someone who was nameless. He didn't answer, just continues to slurp up his ramen. A mischievous smirk appeared on my lips as I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively.

"Is your name homework? Cuz I'm not doing you, but I should be."

I cackled sadistically as a noodle flew out of his nose.

"Okay, okay, but I'm serious what's your name? I'm tired of calling you 'Sexy Voice' in my head," I said, laughter stilling clinging to my words. He opened his mouth then closed it again, scratching the back of his head.

"Uhrm, Justin Seagull?" He asked more than said in a cute accent as if tasting the words.

I slammed my hand into the counter-top snickering so hard my whole body shook before pain reared its ugly head in the direction of my knuckle. I looked down in surprise at my bleeding hand. I forgot scraping it during the fall.

Seagull Boy simply stood up and bought some bandages before I could protest. He gently took my hand and began wrapping it with a practiced hand. He knew what he was doing. I could easily do it myself, I took a year of nursing courses, but it was nice being taking care of.

"So, Justin Seagull, huh. I think I prefer 'Homework'." I asked when he finished wrapping me up and smirked before adding, "But nice to meet you Seagull Boy, I'm Aemin." I bowed theatrically, almost touching my knees with my nose. As I started to straighten my eyes zeroed in his thighs.

Oh no.

"O-oh well look at the thighs- I mean time! My siblings are probably waiting for me, uh BYE." I squeaked abruptly, standing up so fast my chair clattered to the floor. I practically sprinted away from the seductive thighs. If I stayed any longer, I might have started groping him, and that wouldn't be good for anyone.

"Have a nice thigh- NIGHT! NIGHT HAVE A NICE NIGHT!" I cried, walking backward and searching through my pockets for some money, forgetting I was dirt poor for a second.

"Oh, shit I'm broke. Um, write this down," I read out the number for the cheap flip phone I managed to afford.

"Thank you for the food, and the bandages, and not calling the police when I jumped you," I said, my mouth moving a mile a minute as I crashed into the chip aisle.

"OKAY, BYE, LOVE YOU" I screeched making a giant heart with my arms before racing out into the night, leaving Jeon Jungkook dazed and confused as he stared at the egg girl's racing form.

"What a weirdo," He said smiling to himself and finished up his ramen, about to finish hers too when he realized she had finished before him.

Jin hyung would be ashamed.
