(A/N: Jungkook and Kaylie once contacted before when he thanked her for the IU merchandise. Sorry I forgot to explain this earlier😓😓)
9:00 AM
Kookie:
Hi!!
Me:
Hello.
Kookie:
So, I know I am intruding out of
nowhere but can you tell me why are you mad?
Me:
I am not mad.
I am hurt. There's a difference.
Kookie:
Then, why are you hurt.
Me:
I feel really guilty while saying this. But I am not comfortable in sharing it. Sorry.
Kookie:
Ahh.. Its completely alright.
Is there anyone you can share it with?
Me:
No, I guess.
K
ookie:
Then why not taking it out at once.
Me:
I don't feel like it.
I have a habit of penting up rage and I'll
continue on it. Its always easier to say that you are fine than to accept that your heart is a little bruised.
Kookie:
Oh! Well, when I am sad then I convey it to my friends, my band mates, my family.
Sharing sorrow, divides it.
Me:
I am really happy for you.
Sincerely. Ok, I need to study, bye.
It was nice talking to you.
Kookie:
Bye.

Handsome Scholar
Handsome Scholar:
Kaylie!
The album released!!
You heard it? Did you like it?
You heard my solo??
Heyyy
Why aren't you replying?
Come on! Are you still stuck with that
fight?
I was really busy at that time.
Me:
I could not hear it for now.
Handsome Scholar:
Then do it right now
Me:
I am not in the mood.
Handsome Scholar:
How much time it takes to listen to a music, huh?
Are you still angry? I told you I was busy!
Me:
Not everything is about you, Tae! My life should revolve around me and I have learnt it, pretty hard way tho. People have their own lives, they have their own time schedules. Not everyone is free for you even when you are always available to them.

And don't you dare say that I am over reacting. Feelings and emotions are no joke. Human heart is capable of making you suffer in the most treacherous ways.
I don't even know why am I messaging you when I clearly decided not to. Bye Taehyung, lets never talk again.

AUTHOR'S POV
(The right one is Kaylie while the left one is Jimin)
[Hello.
Kaylie? Is that you?
I thought you weren't talking to me]
[Hi. Jimin.
Sorry for being a jerk]
[Its alright.
Any reasons for calling?]
[Are you busy?]
[I am always free to have
a conversation with you]
[Don't speak words you don't mean, please]
[I mean them, truly. I will never forget how you helped me back when I was there.
How can I not stand up for you?]
[Jimin, I am really depressed. I don't know what to do, where to go. I don't want to live anymore. I want to end it. I cant take it. I am dying, evry single day. Its killing me, I dont know what. The emtiness of each day, the heaviness. Save me Jimin please. Help me. I am drowning. Please. Help me. Please.]
[What do you mean, you are drowning? You are the one who made me feel enough of myself. How can you speak these words? How can you go back on your life principles]
[I can't take it anymore. The future seems bleak and murky and my present had always been dark. I just want to give up. But I didn't knew giving up was more difficult. ]
[Calm down. Don't do anything stupid. Where are you?]
[Somewhere where no one can see me, I don't know where. I think I have been penting up too much, it feels I am going to explode of the weights. What should I do? I have no option, I cannot bear to live anymore.]

[Kaylie, wherever you are, go back right now!]
[I don't want to. Maybe if I die here, no one would ever know that I died]
[Thats utter nonsensical thing I have ever heard. Go back. Right. Now.]
Jimin was scared, sweat covered his forehead as he was rushing throughout the dorm, trying to find Taehyung. Cause he had no other way.
[You don't understand Jimin. I can't. My life has nothing left now. My dreams are all fettered. What is the point of living an aimless life?]
[Will you just shut up and go back?]
Finally, he found Taehyung, shoving the mobile in his hand. Taehyung was taken aback by Jimin's weird expressions as he spoke on the phone.
[Umm... Hello?]
[Tae?]
[Kaylie? Are you crying? Why?]
He practically panicked when he heard Kaylie on the other side of the call. Her voice was shaking almost as if she was out of breath. Her dolorous voice made it clear that she had been crying.
[ I am dying Tae.]
[What? What happened?]
[I don't know. I don't want to live anymore.]
[I don't have reasons to live anymore]
He could not think of anything at the moment. He can't be there. All he could do was stall time as he gave his mobile phone to Jimin and asked him to call Patrick.
[Just imagine a bunch of tiny versions of yourself working inside of your body that sing and push blood cells around and have romantic encounters and have sword fights with bacteria and have so much fun keeping you alive! You gotta take care of yourself for the tiny people inside of you! ]
[That doesn't make sense]
[THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.]
[Why is Danny here?]
[Listen, whatever is going on-it's okay. It's okay if you're confused, if you're hurt, if you don't even know who you are and what you're doing. It's okay to be lost and it's okay to be hurt. Because when you look back it's not the ave moments that you felt lost and unsure that you'll remember. It'll be those moments after-like how you found something that you have fallen in love with and you've made it your life's work. It'll be what those dark Send moments lead you to- happiness. So don't be afraid. Your moment is be right there, it's so close. You just have to believe in it.]
[You called her?]
[Yes. I did]
Call ended.
