βͺ mental breaker : kkm & jjg
life goes on. as kyeongmi would find it,Β her life wasn't particularly set back in any way by the recent news shaking busan. she still had school, still woke up to root beer and cereal being the only option to breakfast; as it is, the high schooler finds herself more perturbed by the amount of snow (most of it's ice now--thanks to the storm that occurred over night) lining the streets and sidewalks.
she had already slipped and ate asphalt on school grounds earlier thatΒ morning.
it is with sore forearms and an iron-will that kyeongmi scales the cold (iced) metal bars to the back of the school with a lot more difficulty than usual, finally making her way over the gates after a few tries.
there's the slightest bit of a rip in her uniform, but kyeongmi pays no attention to it as she heads, school bag in hand, to the arcade a few blocks over.
time to reward herself with some initial d 5th stage five.
as expected, activity is slow in these hours, borderline deserted save the half asleep employee that simply nods and goes back to his comic at her entrance -- nothingΒ too fun, but kyeongmi finds it better than school.
always.
without a thought she makes her way toward the right, navigating blindly as her eyes fixate on her phone, browsing through the usual parade of messages (jokes from her friends, invites from her crew). she slows to a stop once her eyes (and ears, it's hard toΒ not hear the parade of gunshots and ghoulish groans from the undead on the bright screen) settles on the shoulders of a boy (no older than her, kyeongmi guesses from his build) rapidly just--going at it.Β there's no stop, if anything, the score points on the upper right corner just keeps rising and rising.
"whoa--" she utters the word before she could help herself, decidedly taking a step closer as her lips form a friendly curve, "you areΒ way too into this."
