[ abandoned food ] you were minding your own business when heejin decides to take your bag of chips away from you.
“stop eating these, it’s not good for you.” she said in a tone that was too soft to be anger.
“and why do you care? i’m just stress eating, it’s only nine days until exams. i need to eat. so let me?” even though you wanted to sound somewhat intimidating and certain, your last sentence came out as a question instead.
heejin looked at you with a face that said “please just listen to me this one time.” and you sighed. nodding an okay and letting her clip the bag up unwillingly.
you watched as she walked towards the locked cupboard, the place where once food is in, never comes back out. you eyes pleaded for her to not store it in there, and you were so close to just telling her “anywhere but the food destroyer”.
it was a name you gave the shelf, the first time was when heejin discovered you casually laying on your couch inhaling the tub of chocolate icecream she bought a couple of days ago.
that was the first time she took your food and kept it in the shelf. well, technically it was hers but you really needed to destress.
at first you were fine with it, thinking it would only be that one time. but it continued to happen. choco chip cookies, red velvet cakes, pizza slices.. everything that heejin thought was unhealthy was taken away from you. and these times, you were the one who bought the food.
obviously, you knew she was just worried for you and your unending appetite, but you really just needed to consume calories sometimes. so you thought up a small plan that could help you win the chips back.
“could i please just finish that bag of chips?”
heejin knew that voice, your last resort to get what you set your eyes onto. she looked at you, then down at her hands that were still holding the bag and sighed. she tossed you the bag and you happily took it.
“you knew i would never be able to say no to that..” heejin pouted at you, hoping you would reconsider your choice to finish the chips.
“sorry bunbun, but i needed it just as much as i need you.”
at that, heejin’s face flushed bright red as she continued to mumble on about how bad potato chips are for your health, while you continued to munch on them.
