sadboitimes: i guessssss

sadboitimes: the school didn't call my mom about me missing class so like im confused - send

Fuck, Taeyong thought as he almost pressed send. He hadn't actually been sick. No one knew he had planned to kill himself. No one knew he skipped school for that reason. His parents didn't even know he skipped school at all. That was a close one.

The only reason they didn't find out was because they leave early for work, and Taeyong carpools with Doyoung to school. They're neighbours, so Doyoung doesn't mind having an extra person in his car if they're going to the same place. Usually when Taeyong is late to show up outside at the appointed time, he waits outside his house for a while and then proceeds to knock in a worried manner, and Taeyong would almost immediately barge through the door in a hurry.

This week, Taeyong was late for two days. For two days he heard the knocking. For two days he waited until Doyoung left and drove to school on his own. But he wouldn't maintain his streak any longer.

MountainDewMe: aight, I'll leave you to it then

MountainDewMe: text me when Doyoung picks you up

sadboitimes: yeah, yeah, Mom

MountainDewMe: if anything, Doyoung is the biggest 17 year old male Mom that I know

MountainDewMe: when your stomach decided to be gay, he hung around me because he probably thought that I was lonely. He even bought me food. Best mom

sadboitimes: I wouldn't really know, I barely talk to him when we're going to school

sadboitimes: the air always seems suffocating and I'm too embarrassed to talk

sadboitimes: it's mostly just small talk about school or whatever

Though I wish that I could get to know him better. He's one of the few people in school that doesn't shoot me dirty looks. He knows that Ten is a bitch towards me, so that's probably why he's so awkward around me. Talking with the weird kid -> automatically makes you a weird kid. That's why everyone stays away from me, right? If so, why does no one pick on Mark? Why? Because talking to a victim of bullying doesn't mean you'll get bullied too. Fucking inconsiderate pricks. I mean, Mark is only a freshman while I'm already a senior. Does there really need to be four years of an age gap for me to have a friend? I mean, I don't mind, but I should have friends in my own grade. I'm a loner in my own classes. Just because people are too scared to help me.

MountainDewMe: he asked about u not answering the door in the morning the first day u were sick. I just told him you probably felt too bad to get up and were probably sleeping

sadboitimes: that must have been what i was doing since i dont remember him knocking. I did wake up pretty late on Wednesday and yesterday.

MountainDewMe: lucky

sadboitimes: ima get ready for school. Bye normie

MountainDewMe: bye weeb

sadboitimes: no u

Taeyong stretched and then slumped towards his drawers. He took out a random t-shirt out and a black-buttoned blouse. As he put on his shirts, he quickly observed the dark, purple bruises scattered over his body. He looked away from his own body as he threw on his ripped, black jeans, almost tripping over himself. He really didn't care if he matched or not. He decided, just for the fun of it, to put on a choker. Just like a dog, he told himself. Just like a dog, Ten had said as he brutally beat him up. As he walked into the bathroom, he noticed in the mirror that he didn't have terrible bed hair, so he didn't put much work into it. He quickly combed it down, making sure to cover his awfully huge forehead, at least that's what Ten said.

He put water to boil for his ramen, but once he heard the whistling of the kettle he realized he wasn't hungry. Plus, he could lose a few pounds, at least that's what Ten said.

Taeyong plopped himself on his leather couch, waiting for Doyoung to come out of his house, and then he would go outside. Go outside and face the world. This took a lot of courage for Taeyong considering the fact that the only world he knew of was one full of torture, cruel words, and kicks to the stomach, though today he decided to face it. Today was full of false confidence.

The brown-haired male saw through his window as Doyoung walked down the cement and onto the sidewalk. He leaped from the couch and grabbed his backpack. This time Doyoung wouldn't need to wait for him and knock on his door.

As he approached the young male/mother, he forced on a smile. ''Sorry for not coming out the past two days. I was sick,'' he explained briefly, though he knew Mark had already gone over this with him before.

''It's fine,'' Doyoung mumbled as he turned the car engine on. Taeyong felt uncomfortable as he walked around and opened the passenger's seat to the car. 

Doyoung drove faster than normally. ''What I'd miss at school?'' Taeyong asked, avoiding looking at the driver's face.

''Oh, just a lot of schoolwork.''

And bullying, Taeyong thought as he gulped down the saliva forming in his mouth. ''But I'm sure you figured that out already,'' he added with genuine laughter.

''Yeah. It's going to be so much fun catching up,'' Taeyong concluded as he looked at his phone.

He remembered to tell Mark that he'd been picked up already.

MountainDewMe: i need proof that you're not lying to me

sadboitimes: wdym?

MountainDewMe: send me a picture

sadboitimes: of what?

MountainDewMe: your dicc, what else?

sadboitimes: haha, hilarious. Here

MountainDewMe: i hate you

sadboitimes: doesn't everybody

MountainDewMe: shut

Taeyong stifled a laugh, catching the attention of Doyoung. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the curious boy glance at him. He pretended not to notice.

sadboitimes: lmao

MountainDewMe: u dont have to send a picture of you lol i just wanted to find a way to make sure u were actually going to school since i miss talking to u in person

sadboitimes: dw, im on my way

Taeyong lifted his gaze to meet Doyoung's, who quickly reverted his own towards the road.

Fuck it, Taeyong thought as he turned on his camera. Doyoung won't say anything. He quickly took a picture of himself. The moment he did, Doyoung gave him a surprised yet confused look, though Taeyong was aware that he was looking at him out of the corner of his eye while he had taken the picture. The older boy quickly explained, feeling bad for treating Doyoung like this. ''Mark asked for a picture of me.'' He forced out a giggle, his cheeks turning pink right afterwards.

''Oh,'' was all the male/mom responded with as he shifted his glance back to the road.

Oh, Taeyong repeated in a mocking manner in his thoughts as he looked at the picture he just took. He hated the way he looked. But Mark always told him his only flaw was being flawless. So he pressed send.

MountainDewMe: thanks

sadboitimes: your turn

MountainDewMe: oh, what's that? someone got stabbed by Shrek? I have to go check this out, bye!

sadboitimes: fucc u
