It's that boy.

He never talks.

I, on the other hand, talk too much.

The canteen is considerably noisy. What else would you expect if you're going to put a bunch of teenagers in an enclosed area with food? You're going to have noise. I'll tell you right now that I'm one of the main contributors to this noise.

Too much of something in one place is a bad thing, right? So noise must move around. Spread itself to the quieter areas, that's what I think, anyway. (I've been told many times that my logic is flawed, but there's no one around to tell me that it is today, so...) 

I find myself being drawn to what I feel is the quietest area of the canteen. I find myself doing this everyday. Something about the boy that sits here is just too intriguing.

"Is itweird that I'm staring at you, I'm just wondering why you aren't eating and...uh...yeah..." I trail off awkwardly. I've spoken too much. Kibum has returned to stirring the food around, none of it actually entering his mouth. Did he even hear me?

I need to escape this awkward situation. "Anyway, yes, you need to eat, I'll leave you to it then, bye!" Scrambling off the bench, I m
