Taebae:

No. I am not telling you.

Me:

Whyy??

Dont you love me?

Taebae:

Dont try to blackmail me.

Me:

Okay. So lame 😑

Taebae:

So.. what about you?

Me:

Ukw?

Taebae:

Me:

You don't have to pretend like you don't wanna ask me about my exam when your curious ass must be on fire rn

Taebae:

Oh love, you know me so well.

😓😌

Me:

So. The paper was fine.

The results are coming out

tomorrow.

Taebae:

Coooool.

Where are you??

Me:

I just saw a video of you falling in the gym. 😂😂

Taebae:

The floor needed a hug.

Me:

Uh huh. And so you cried? 😂😂

Taebae:

Yeah it was a very emotional moment

Me:

😑😑

I can't win.

Taebae:

Never 😏

Me:

Are you flexing on the fact that u fell in the gym? U are unbelievable!!

Taebae:

So, I fell. You have something else to say?

Me:

If you're waiting for me to care, hope you have something to eat. That'll take reaaaallly long

Taebae:

Me:

Make sure to make a video.

Wait. I'll ask Jimin to film you.

JIMINAAAAA

Taebae:

Me:

Are you gonna kill your one and only girlfriend? 😂😂

Taebae:

I would, no doubt.

Me:

On a scale of one to ten how much do you want to kill me.

Taebae:

I am hovering in the higher thirties.

Me:

Damn. So.

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you wanna kiss me?

Yaaa!!! Where are you??

Damn. You are leaving me on read!!

Taee?!!

Are you okay??

Baby Flirt

Me:

Sorry to disturb you, can you please check on Taehyung.

Baby Flirt:

Umm... Why?

Me:

Idk he isn't replying to my texts.

Baby Flirt:

Okay wait.

Me:

Hmm

Baby Flirt:

Did you really had to show me this??

Me:

What?

Baby Flirt:

Ahh.. he was literally rolling on the bed with his face in the pillow.

Ouch. My eyes.

Me:

Oooo..

Baby Flirt:

What were you guys talking about?

Me:

Baby Flirt:

So, you aren't gonna tell

your fairy Godfather?

Me:

Really? Fairy Godfather?

Baby Flirt:

I made you call him and then

you two confessed. I am your

fairy godfather.

Me:

😑😑

Change Baby Flirt to Fairy Godfather?

Yes / No

Taebae

Me:

Are you done rolling on the bed?

Taebae:

Wait. How did you?

Me:

Sixth sense.

Taebae:

JIMIN!!!

Me:

So. All good?

Taebae:

No.

Me:

Wait. Why? What happened?

Taebae:

I miss you..

*Message deleted*

Me:

Taebae:

Ahh.. fuck.

Yes. I miss you.

Me:

I

Miss

Taebae:

Go on.

Me:

Y

Taebae:

Complete it.

Me:

Yeontan 😂😂

Taebae:

I hate you.

Me:

I love you

Taebae:

🥳🥳

Finally.

He has a childlike charm and that's what fascinates me the most. Everytime his message pops up or whenever I am talking to him, my lips unknowingly bear a semblance of a smile. I thought I had forgotten this feeling - being happy, excited to even be alive.

Me:

Taebae:

😁😁

Me:

Oh! Do me a favor please

Taebae:

Lemme hear it out first and I am not telling you anything about the shoot.

Me:

Not that.

Can you please check on my result tomorrow. Like pretty please.

Taebae:

Why can't you?

Me:

I'm unlucky for myself.

Taebae:

No you are not.

Stop this luck shit.

Me:

Forget it. I'll ask Sasha.

Taebae:

I would see it. No problem with that.

But I can't let you look down upon

yourself.

Answer me one thing-

If you have an exam tomorrow

but there are no stars in the sky,

will you study?

Me:

Why would stars affect my study?

Taebae:

Exactly!

Thats why we use 'stars' for destiny.

They are fickle, always twinkling but

that doesn't mean you will fail.

In fact they mean nothing.

Me:

I think I got 1% of what you said.

But, you are still seeing my result.

I'll send you the link, no if-buts.

Taebae:

Why did I even try

Me:

And don't break this news to me casually.

If I pass, video call me

If I am in the waiting list, call me

Else just text me.

Okay??

Taebae:

😑

Okay.

Me:

Taebae:

Byee..

Oh. What time, the results will be out?

Me:

1:00 PM, 12:00 for you

*inserts picture of hall ticket*

*Inserts link*

Bye. Thanks.

Taebae:

Anytime 😊

The clock was ticking, 1:00 PM, it read. I gulped and it felt like sand paper grating my throat. I opened Taehyung's chat, incase I have any message. I exhaled a huge sum of half utilised air to take another column. A little "typing" appeared under the name "Taebae", my heart sank.

Taebae:

So. Umm...

I placed the phone on the table as my vision became blurry. I covered my eyes with my hand to stop the water go down my cheeks. I stopped them halfway, shaking tumultuously, trying to muffle my cries with the sofa pillow.

The phone rang.

Incoming video call : Taebae

Accept / Decline.

As I picked up the call, the sound of the confetti bomb made me flinch and I almost dropped my phone.

[Wait. Why are you crying?]

[You messaged me, right?]

[I was just trying to scare you. Did you really got so much scared?]

[YOU SON OF A BITCH!!]

Tears were streaming down my tears, still, from the unexpected beatitude. The reality took time to sink in me. Sasha entered the room and after probably looking into my blood rimmed eyes she started consoling me while Tae was still on line

[Ya! She passed]

"What? Really?" Her eyes widened and her face bore nothing but content, I nodded and she hugged me while I was still sniffling.

[You guys continue. I'll call back later]

I nodded.

Call ended
