Yeah, that was a grown man telling a pre-pubescent boy that he's just graduated to the "big stick".

pairing: gyuvin x f! reader METALLIC GREEN, WRAPPED WRIGLEY’S 5 GUM IN SPEARMINT RAIN. that’s what you always chewed. gyuvin wasn’t going to lie, the first few weeks of being your seatmate drove him crazy. the graveyard of crushed, bright green wrappers, the constant chewing and crinkling of new gum packets being opened. it bothered him. there was just something that ticked him off seeing you popping stick after stick into your mouth, crushing wrappers and folding them into hearts and random lobs.

or maybe it wasn’t the gum and noise. instead, it was you. the owner of the gum. the cause of the noise. the cause of distraction. it wasn’t the gum, no, it was you that bothered him. it was you, and the fact you paid more attention to the gum instead of him. gyuvin wanted to deny it, but the more he complained about it to ricky and gunwook, the more the feeling of realization creeped onto him. and then it became undeniable. kim gyuvin had a fat crush on you, and you seemingly had zero interest in him.

the most gyuvin had talked to you was when you had apologized for elbowing him, or when the two of you were paired up for an interpersonal in japanese class that he miserably failed . other than that you always hung around in your friend’s classrooms, and when he did see you all you did was unwrap, unwrap, unwrap. there was never conversation unless mandatory, and it drove him absolutely nuts. but he was going to change that, and he was not going to let a pack of gum stand between him.

the ticking of the clock echoed throughout the silent classroom, only the sound of mr.lim in the front talking about some history or something like that. gyuvin only watches the clock, the end of class seemingly hours and hours away. he glances towards you. you had long stopped taking notes a while ago, and instead, had taken to folding origami flowers, gluing petals together. a pile of six flowers lay on your desk, and gyuvin watches as you start to fold another one. this was his chance.

“how do you do that?” he whispers, laying his head down on the desk to face you.

“hm?” you answer, glancing toward the boy staring at you.

“that,” he points.

“the flowers?” you whisper, “it’s easy,”

“show me,” gyuvin retorts. you smile at him.

“what color do you want?”

“what’s your favorite?”

“lilac,” you answer, grinning. you reach into the compartment under your desk, and hand him the stack of your lilac post-its. gyuvin takes a post it, staring at you expectantly.

“okay, you gotta remove the stick part of the post-it first. . .” and as you direct him, he’s barely listening, his eyes watching you and you only. your voice becomes a welcome background noise amongst the sound of scratching pencils, flipping pages, and chalk on a board. and as he watches you, he could care less about the origami flower in all honesty, he only cared about you.

oh how he suddenly wished history class would never end.

the color lilac is associated with the blossoming of a new romance and of new beginnings

“[bruce] would just pick up the guitar look straight at the floor or at us and say again…again…again…again… now, you do that for fourteen hours you can really, really mess with somebody’s mind. i had a piece of wrigley’s spearmint gum, took the gum out of the wrapper and i chewed on the aluminum foil. the pain was so severe that i knew it would wake me up.” — jimmy iovine on recording born to run

breakdown of my day and what i ate + did + feel bad/good about

BREAKFAST: 258

mango - 7oz - 129 cals - for the fiber, although i do feel i ate more (maybe an ounce or so) than i should've

peanuts - 3/4oz - 129 - for the fats, same thing as mango

review: overall okay. felt guilty about the number of mango and peanuts i was eating, so wasn't made happier by what i ate. but nothing super unhealthy so it's a win, albeit almost a tie.

LUNCH: 276

vegan miso soup, mcdougalls - 1.9 servings (to match my calorie app's info to the nutrition information on the back of the packaging) - 190 cals - main part of lunch, for the slight protein and feeling satisfied, yummy!

baby carrots - 4 - 14 cals - for the fiber and color in my soup

tofu, firm - 1 1/2oz - 36 cals - for the protein and texture

chocolate non pareils - 2 pieces - 36 cals - for dessert.

overview: good! it's what happened after that i regret.

"DINNER": 386

here's where i faltered.

power crunch triple chocolate protein bar - 1 serving - 220 cals (logged as 226 because my calorie app has it listed as 200, which it most certainly is not) - eaten for protein before fencing practice, let's see what happens next!

pretzels, mini bags - 1 serving (logged as 1.2 because of issues with listing in the app) - 60 cals - supposedly for the salt, actually because i was weak and didn't resist.

soft & chewy granola bar - 1 bar - 100 cals - was at fencing and felt like i was about to faint. fainting in a public space is a no-no, because i am not trying to get sent to the doctor, so i ate one of these that was available (for free at least) at the front desk of the fencing place i go to. was not happy to eat this but was worried about the possible consequences of not doing so.

overview: this is a study in weakness and poor planning. jiminy crickets. i ate the protein bar too early and didn't actually receive its benefits during fencing, only before, making me (unnecessarily) eat the pretzels, and requiring me to eat the granola bar. not happy with this :|

SNACKS: 63

wrigley's spearmint gum - 1 stick - 10 cals - remember how i said i was going to give it away? well that didn't happen. i'm not mad at it though because it helped stop me from buying a high cal snack at a student store on-campus, and gave me a reason to tell my mom as to why i wasn't getting a snack. +1 point for the gum.

gerber's lil crunchies, tomato flavor - 16 pieces - 35 cals - was hungry, at the store, and knew these bad boys were only 2.2 cals per piece. not mad about this at all!

chocolate non pareil - 1 piece - 18 cals - wanted a sweet treat. this is bad because i had it at 9pm, way past my set end time of 7pm, and because it shows a lack of self-control.

EXERCISE: 116 cals burned

walked a lot today - not logged due to counting towards my 'somewhat active' daily activity

fencing practice - 2 hours - logged as 25 mins of fencing - 116 cals burned - i tend to take a lot of breaks during fencing, because we do cardio and plyometrics for the first hour, and i like to take my sweet time putting my gear on. 1 hour is subtracted on principle of counting towards daily activity, and 35 minutes are subtracted because i didn't do much during roughly a quarter of the time there.

SAD ABOUT:

the pretzels and the granola bar. if i had been stronger it wouldn't have happened.

the last non pareil. again, lack of strength, and it was way past 7pm.

my poor planning in terms of timing the consumption of the protein bar. if i had done it later i probably wouldn't have wanted the pretzels and/or the granola bar, and would feel better now.

PROUD ABOUT:

my time in the student store, where i didn't buy any food at all. top-notch work here, because that was what my mom expected me to buy, but i didn't. huzzah!

the flavor i bought for the lil crunchies. i got garden tomato, which i don't hate but i definitely don't like. this helped me stick to the 16 piece serving size, when usually i can clean out a whole tin of the white cheddar flavor (and then feel like shit about it). i think i'll continue buying that flavor, because i know i don't like it.

went to fencing!

CONCLUSION:

self control is not exactly present here. it'll be a top priority in future days.

i have my metabolism day tomorrow, so i will probably ask my mom if we can go to subway (she knows i like it and might even be suspicious if i don't ask) and will have a smoothie that i'm known to like (and i do like it, it's just 290 cals so off-limits!) that day too. no snacks though, to work on self-control.

fiber today probably could've been better, but i logged 36.2 grams of protein (admittedly down from yesterday).

ate 983 cals today, minus 116 for exercise. 333 under my (stated to the calorie app) goal of 1200.

NET CALORIES: 867

wish everyone the best on their 4n@ (or just weight loss) journeys!
