sitting right under the AC vent is solacing, cooling against his damp skin after a hot shower. his frustration from the three consecutive losses of pick-up ball in the early afternoon simmer quietly in the back of his mind now. the boy sits beside his roommate in quiet company, tangled in disheveled bed sheets, clad in shorts and a t-shirt that probably hasn’t been washed for a solid week or so.
he bypasses an impending laugh after watching a video of a cat doing very cat-like things, opts for the shift in atmosphere when he hears the subdued rumbling of thunder. his dorm room, bathed in the glow of a cloudy day, is strangely pacifying; rain a gentle pit-a-pat against the window screen. he remembers then, of a girl (big eyes, sweet smile, and lulling voice), he’d dropped off at her dorm building on a rainy day like this, and in consequence, a dilemma.
“oi,” he looks up, stretches out an arm to nudge ryuwon, a gentle pinch to his tricep for extra measure, “look at this.”
he pulls up the picture she’d sent him three days ago, her messages left on read since then. It’s a cute selfie. it looks like she’s on her tip-toes, bright smile dimmed next to the girl that stands beside her. her sister.
“this sounds shitty, but uh,” he snorts out a cheeky laugh before zooming into the girl’s face, lightly tapping a thumb to her dimpled cheek, “think i went for the wrong sister.”
there are earbuds shoved loosely in his ears, and the content, despite what the general public might think, is not music. third year classes have him wound up so tight, he’s barely got time to study let alone review shitty notes, so his phone plays a constant loop of his voice; pre-recorded textbook terms and definitions. he’s half there, intermittent static buzzing in his ears now and again. the boy pauses in his dull, zombie-like funk, when he feels an odd stickiness at the sole of his shoe. squints in vexation then, and yeah, would you look at that – there’s gum stuck on the bottom. fucking hell.
it starts here, the dismal onset of a bad day.
he thinks he sees it coming, wired and hungry, a tightness in the back of his neck when he looks down at his options in the vending machine. he goes for his regular, a habitual slip of a coin and press of a button. drops his eyes to his phone, a lazy scroll through messages before he’s looking back up, and— “ah.” it’s stuck. okay. this is fine. he can work with this. a quick glance down the hallway confirms he’s alone before he lifts his foot for a shameless, rough kick to the base of the machine. once, twice. nothing. third time’s a charm? nope.
it’s late, he’s starving, it’s been a long, long day, and he’s usually not one for such extremes measures but, “fuck it,” he dips into a squat, locked jaw, pursed lips, before shoving his arm straight up into the machine. it’s a bit of a twist, he’s not exactly sure how he gets there, but he’s got long arms and fingers. he breaks out into a smile; a genuine, unadulterated smile when the bag of chips settles into the palm of his hand like it’s made to be there. holy shit. he tugs. and this is where it comes full circle. his smile plummets, along with his blood. cadaverous shock, right down to the tips of his fingers.
he’s stuck.
“oh. oh no.”
saturday, 8 p.m, kim seokwoo, age 23, immaculate poster boy: squatting deeper than your girl on a weekend night, metal arm wrenched into a vending machine.

- like puts up a bit of a front when out in public; that hard working, immaculate, extremely accomplished, neat as a pin dude etc.

- he smokes but also has healthier habits so to speak? knows how to take care of his food intake, loves his protein shakes, enjoys cardio (sports only bruh), etc.
