loud noises echoed through the crowded halls of Raven High, hyunjin kept his eyes merely open when he pushed through the teenage students walking past them. some making out, some ready to take each other's souls, and some gossiping

neither of it phased hyunjin as all he was trying to do right now was make it out of this mess somehow in one piece, he let out a sigh through his nose when he felt the fresh air of the garden behind the school hit his face

it felt nice to be out of that zoo of wild animals who had zero intellect, well at least that's how hyunjin saw all of them. animals who had no brain to live with decency, their brains occupied by survival, mating, and hunting

hyunjin had divided the humans he saw daily into two forms, prey and predator. both being something to describe animals, he never put himself in that category it was just a way he saw the world

and it was safe to say he never liked either of the two.

he sat down on a bench glancing at his wristwatch, he still had some time before his class so he decided to listen to some music. he didn't like studying but he didn't hate it either, just like living. he didn't have any particular thoughts about life

he didn't have any plans for the future either, he was just simply existing. that was it

while hyunjin was sitting on the bench quietly listening to music peacefully he was unaware of the hazel eyes watching him through the window. a girl stood behind the window tucking her blond locks behind her hair 'so handsome' she whispered finding hyunjin unexplainably attractive

"riya, what are you staring at?" another girl with blond hair walked up from behind wrapping her hand around riya's waist "hm? nothing" riya mumbled glancing at her friend who appeared to be taller than her "let's go then. I'll walk you to class" her friend spoke running a hand through her long hair

riya smiled back at her, before shooting one last glance at hyunjin she held her friend's hand and walked away from the glass window

"thank you for the cake cutie" a man in his near 30s spoke to felix passing the tip, despite feeling uncomfortable felix smiled back "you're welcome sir" the man wiped away the frosting from the corner of his lips soon licking it off while felix picked up his dishes

the brunette boy turned around to walk away but he held his wrist with his large hands stopping him in the act "I didn't catch your name" felix sighed silently "lee felix" he spoke smiling. the had a rule at this job, no matter what the customer is saying. you always have to keep smiling and be nice

although it was no problem for felix as he always smiled anyway, but in situations like these he failed to hide the clear uncomfortableness in his eyes "what a pretty name" he spoke making felix nod and begin to turn around again so he can continue his job "are you free on Sundays by the way?"

his question completely threw felix off, "no, he's busy chopping dicks that day. why don't you try Monday hmm?" a girl with dark red hair spoke walking up from behind felix, she gestured him to walk away. the look on her face explained she'd deal with the man

felix showed her a nervous smile before disappearing from the scene "and you are?" he questioned, felix glanced back then shook his head walking into the staff room

felix groaned feeling his fatigue get worse and worse, he blinked away the tears that blurred his vision as he focused on his hands which were constantly working on cleaning the bar table. he had many jobs and all of them were of server or a barista, due to his lack of education it was impossible to get a job that paid enough
