it was past ten o’clock in the evening and kinam hasn’t gone back home yet. it’s been a terribly tiring day where he had just returned from seoul in a stressing train trip, after visiting his parents for a couple of days. his legs hurt, in fact his entire body would ache where he couldn’t even start pointing where it was bothering him the most. the further he would step toward the sharehouse he’s been established, the farther it seemed to be located. deciding to take a short break, kinam spotted a food stall across the street. the warm, spicy scent coming from the stall made his stomach growl so loud he couldn’t help but unconsciously cover it with a hand, soon crossing the other side of the street to check it out. fried chicken. man, he craved some fried chicken as if he’d never seen food in front of him before.
there was a short line waiting to be attended but it didn’t take as long as he thought it would when it was finally his turn. not wasting time, kinam ordered a portion for himself ─ already salivating at the moment his eyes met with the delicious spicy meat in front of him. after the payment, the man immediately lifted a piece of chicken to slip into his mouth at the same time he turned around to leave. he didn’t expect however, to bump onto someone, making the chicken jump from the stick and hit the girl right on her chest, consequently damaging her clothes.
“dammit─sorry about that.”
