"So I'd rather be alone
I wish you well
I'll keep to myself
'Cause you played me for a fool"

TAEHYUNG'S POV|

I groaned before pulling my hair in frustration. My math teacher assigned me to be the leader for our activity which is called "Math Jingle". We're going to make a song related to Math and the group that gets the highest rank will be exempted from the last and hardest periodical test. The pressure is all on me and the fact that I'm not great with socializing made me want to throw up. Just great.

I thought my day could have been worse but then a random guy just decided to bump into me and my research papers flew al the way to the school's fountain. My research teacher is merciless and decided to give me a minus ten because he said I was being careless and shit. Just wow.

I was so stressed, that I had a breakdown while trying to strip off my tight pants, it just won't get off my ankle.

I'm currently working on the lyrics but no words seem to appear inside my head.

"She really had to force me into being the leader saying it'll boost my fucking communication skills. Communication skills my ass." I grumbled and cracked my neck, trying to loosen up.

"And my fucking groupmates didn't even bother to help me or even ask me if I need help. I'm not Einstein." I inveighed.

I plopped into my bed with a loud and exaggerated sigh. "Beep boop~" I sang loudly, it's weird but it works for me whenever I'm stressed. I sound like a kid's fake phone toy but who cares. "BEEP BOOP, FUCKING WORK YOU BEEP BOOP, I WANNA DIE IN A BEEP BOOP WAY-- LIKE-- BEEP BOoOoOP~ SHIT, IT'S NOT WORKING." I kicked my legs frustratedly. I thrashed like a salted worm, messing up my well-kept bed.

"I should go to our special spot, maybe it'll help me or something," I said to myself.

I sat slowly, "Should I get changed from my pajamas? Ahh, Nah..." I shook my head and slowly went outside my house.

My shoulders slouched as I made my way to my rarely used bicycle. "I'm too stressed to even pedal my way there. Wait no-- I'm just being lazy...but pedaling my way there? Nah, I can walk... But I'm too stressed to walk... I'm too stressed to even use my bike... I'm too stressed to go inside my house--" I pursed my lips when a group of kids stared the life out of me.

"Are you okay, mister?" A small girl asked while tilting her head slightly. "No... But it's alright." I said and offered them a small smile.

"Are you having a bad day?" Another girl asked. There were four of them. Three girls and a boy.

"Well... Kinda." I shrugged. Is it weird to talk with a bunch of kids about me having a bad day?

"Everything will be fine, mister. My name's Zoozee." The aforementioned girl said before making her way to hug my abdomen. Trying to lighten up my mood, which worked.

The rest of the group of kids ran to hug me, too. I crouched to their level and embraced them because I just badly need a hug.

"I'm Lynn, she's Keila, and he's Ali. Don't be sad anymore, mister. We gotcha." A girl that has cute chubby cheeks said with a smile.

Her aforementioned friends nodded in agreement. I smiled at them, "I'm Taehyung." I introduced.

"Can we call you Taetae?" Zoozee asked with hopeful eyes. "Of course! Thank you for cheering me up, cuties." I said with a grin.

"No worries, Taetae oppa! Let's get going, it's getting dark." Keila said and they waved at me before leaving me alone once again.

They're so cute. But I can't come inside now, I'm not in the mood to write the lyrics.

I decided that I'm just going to walk.

♥

I walked through the breathtaking forest that leads to our special spot.

As I neared the cabin, I heard Jeongguk singing. Our cabin was lit up brightly as the door and window are open.

I felt quite relieved to hear his angelic voice, it never fails to cheer me up.

"You're all I ever need
Baby, you're amazing
You're my angel, come and save me
You're all I ever need
Baby, you're amazing
You're my angel, come and save me~"

As I was about to come inside, I saw a girl wearing a white silk dress who's holding Jeongguk's hand. It's Jiyeon.

Why is she here? Since when is she allowed here?

My eyes widened while I hear my heart shatter into a million pieces. Jeongguk and Jiyeon are kissing, inside our special spot. And I realized that Jeongguk was singing for her.

The best day ever. Wow.

I ran away from our cabin but the leaves and weak branches made a loud sound. So I ran away quickly while tears started to gather around my eyes. This is too much.

I saw Jeongguk running after me. I hope he doesn't catch or recognize me.

Fuck my heart really hurts.

"Hey! Who are you?!" Jeongguk yelled while running. I wish my hair was black right now. My grey hair can still be seen. Shit.

Jeongguk is a better runner than me. I rarely ran. The last time was when a dog was chasing after me.

He grabbed my elbow, forcing me to stop sprinting. I panted but I didn't let him see my face just yet, or else my tears will just flow like waterfalls. I don't want him to think I'm weak, but me, myself, know that I'm weak as fuck.

"Taehyung?" He spun me around to face him. My eyes widen, "H-hi..." I stuttered.

"Why were you spying on us? Why are you crying?" Jeongguk asked, releasing me from his metal grip.

I furrowed my eyebrows while staring at him. Tears poured from my eyes subconsciously.

"Me? Spying on you? You sound like I'm an utter stranger who just wants to sort his mind inside a special cabin. But I know it isn't that special now, you managed to get that snake inside our special spot like it was nothing. Ha. Nice." I said before wiping my tears furiously.

"It's just a cabin, stop being so selfish. You're crying just because of that?" Jeongguk asked.

"See? Just a cabin. Why didn't we let our hyungs hang out in there when it's just a motherfucking cabin? Whatever." I was about to completely leave but he gripped on my wrist tightly.

"Let go!" I asserted while trying to pull my hand away from him.

"Stop being so fucking selfish! It's just Jiyeon! What's wrong with that?!" Jeongguk exclaimed.

Am I really being selfish?

"Don't I have the right to be selfish about this?! You could've asked my permission first!" I yelled, successfully pulling away from his bruising grip.

"This is so immature of you, Taehyung. You're acting like a kid. It's not that serious! Gosh, I don't know why I'm friends with you."

I don't know why I love you either.

And with that sentence, it drove me to the edge. My hand made its way towards his cheek with so much force, he stumbled back.

Jeongguk's eyes widen as he stared at me with shock and fury. My hands trembled and my heart beats two times faster.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" He yelled.

"What the fuck is right with you?! I can't believe you right now. Think about it Jeongguk. Think about it" I said before leaving him alone.

M

y tears continued to stream down my cheeks. I heard the sky grumble before small droplets of rain came falling down on me. The rain got stronger while I squint my eyes to see where I'm walking.

It's so fucking cliché, really? Rain while crying? Nice.

I saw the highway and I ran towards it. My tears blurring my eyesight and the rain isn't helping.

"FUCK! THIS DAY'S SHIT! ARGH!" I screamed my lungs out and lightning struck simultaneously, making the scene much intense.

I was in the middle of the road when a loud honk and a bright light made me freeze and stay where I am; on the middle of the road.

Shit... Am I going to die?
