⇡ ALL MY PRIDE

Yongha didn’t usually drink on campus, nor did he make a habit of smuggling alcohol into his dorm -- but without realizing it he must’ve brought a bottle of vodka back with him when he returned from one of his nightly escapades. Or so he assumed, when he woke up with booze hidden under his pillow. Say what you will about drunken Yongha, but hiding things had never been his forte. It was still there in the morning though, and now he needed to figure out a way to use it up: preferably without drinking the entire thing straight from the bottle. He might even have in idea.
Following a quick shower after a few hours of solo basketball practice he decided to check the communal kitchen, just a tad bit too lazy to go grocery shopping until he absolutely had to. All his limbs were aching, his wrists were sore and his knees scraped -- he didn’t want to leave campus at all. But unfortunately he could go through all the cupboards however long he pleased, that wouldn’t magically make what he was looking for appear if he closed and opened the doors enough times. Nor was the fridge of much use to him.
Okay, time for plan b.
The cafeteria had stopped serving dinner over an hour ago, and Yongha was fairly certain that they were done prepping for the coming school day. If not he’d get caught for sure. But that never stopped him, and the first year did have a knack for getting into places he wasn’t necessarily invited. Quite a pest, as some would attest to. It took a fair amount of crouching, continuous looks thrown over his shoulder and tempering with door -- but once inside the kitchen and his head stuck in the fridge he finally found what he was looking for. The fact that he went through this much trouble for a single pineapple was laughable, but if anything he needed the distraction of such a stupid challenge.
Yongha made it out not only alive, but unseen, and there was a slight triumph to his steps as he walked through the dining hall and opened the door -- maybe a bit too confidently. Because as soon as it swung open he locked eyes with a fellow first year, her name long forgotten but her face clear as day. It was fairly easy to remember when people thought you were a royal creep, which the girl further in front of him definitely did. Admittedly he didn’t blame her, but he couldn’t explain why he had near stalked her to snap a picture of her the first week of school, so he might as well keep letting her harbor these lowly feelings towards him. There really wasn’t much to redeem either way.
Regardless he smiled every so sweetly, pineapple under his arm and head ducked just enough to not hit the door frame above. “This isn’t what it looks like?” At 9:30 pm? Sure.
