minhyuk's fingers ran along the crease of his mutant biology textbook, its weight resting against his lap as his head leaned back against his resting place-- a tree. studying didn't come without a price, minhyuk thought, and that price was always his sanity -- he had never managed to sit still for long, and being confined in the plain walls of his dorm room drove him into a fuzzy state of not being able to focus, always becoming stir crazy by the time he read the first paragraph of a textbook. being outside gave him a greater peace of mind, but along with that peace came distractions, mostly in the forms of exhaustion and starvation. while easily remedied by sleep and a meal, minhyuk had settled for the former about an hour ago, now being jolted awake by a growl emitting from his stomach.
he hugs his textbook to his chest as he stands up to his feet, taking a moment's rest to thwart the dizziness that came with the quick moment, and then begins his walk back towards the institute's dormitory, his eyes squinting in order to adjust to the bright sunlight that had dawned over the grounds. great, that means it's probably mid-afternoon by now, minhyuk sighs, already noting the waste of a (what was going to be) productive saturday morning. he had been lacking on his studies for the last week and with mid-semester arriving, exams were -- which meant that he had to hurry back to get in the routine of studying if he hoped to pass exams in the future. that's what the morning was going to be devoted to, then he'd get a break and then return to it later that evening -- but that plan had failed, so why even bother with the rest of the day?
he nods to himself, noting the lazier plan in his head, too fascinated by imaging what he'd eat for lunc when he feels his body collide with someone else's. and in this moment, he feels like he's in some cliche piece of literature, because who bumps into anyone anymore--
"omph," minhyuk grunts, stumbling forward, but manages to catch himself before he fell forward-- and managed to keep the heavy textbook within the hold of his arms. "sorry, i wasn't paying attention--" obviously, "you okay?"
