Taebae:

Me:
You don't need to explain.
I know these people can be
frustrating. I've been a fan
for so long now.
Taebae:
Noo..
Me:
Hm?
Taebae:
It was all done by my family.
Me:
What do you mean?
Tae look!
Dont scare me.
Taebae:
I'm sorry

Yes / No
[WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?!
HOW CAN THEY DECIDE
WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT?
AND ARE YOU OKAY WITH IT?
DO YOU EVEN LOVE ME?
OR WAS IT JUST A PRANK?]
[Calm down. Well you're cute
when you're angry]
[HOW CAN I FUCKING CALM DOWN?
I thought everything was getting be-]
[I was kidding!!]
[what? WHAT??]
[I just thought that you were taking it way too lightly. Am sorry... I didn't mea-]
[You think I am cute while am angy?

Are you fucking insane? Or am I a joke to you?]
[No, I was ju-]
[SHUT UP. Will you just SHUT UP? or better still BYE!!]
Call ended
Anger was flashing in my veins, I squeezed my eyelids, trying to calm down the rage penting up - it's different. I am furious, I had been many times, but I want to be angry; its so complicated.
It hurts but it hurts so good? No. It is not how being hurt feels, I don't know this feeling. Its new to me. I sighed at myself being happy while angry, what's with my mood?
And suddenly the songs, the poems made sense. They were made for him.
He softens me in ways I could not believe anyone ever could.
Storms run through my veins whenever he lays his deep brown eyes on me, even on a video call and I feel calm when I hear his soothing voice. Untill him, I was burried under the misunderstanding that i am hard to love but he makes it seem so easy. He does it so effortlessly.
I picked up my phone that was beeping like it would explode any moment.
Taebae
Taebae:
I'm sorry!!!
Please answer the call.
I didn't thought you would think it to be true.

I thought you would not fall into the trap.
I was insensitive.
Please Kaylie, I am sorry.
Me:
Aren't you kidding too much
nowadays?
Taebae:
I'm sorry 🥺🥺
Me:
It's okay next time I'll be careful
of the playful assassin.
Taebae:
No really I never thought that u
will fall in the trap.
Me:
I am still angry you know?
Taebae:
I'm sorry I hurt you so many times.
I made you cry..
I made you angry..
I don't know
I don't know how to love you.
Do I hurt you?
Me:
No. You didn't hurt me.
Don't undermine yourself, Tae.
It was a prank, like we always
do with each other.
I was stupid to fall into the trap.
Yes, you did made me angry but
it's okay.
Now tell me. I know things won't be
easy there as well.
Taebae:
Me:
Ugh..
I can't even be angry on you.
I said its okay and even I am
sorry, I was quite rude.
Taebae:
It happens.
About the agency. Yeah, its a bit
hectic. So its a secret but actually
her contract with her company is
declining and she is joining
Bighit, starting as a trainee. So, she
came there.
We are clarifying our part. But she
isn't giving a statement. Her manager
is still finding 'appropriate words'
Me:
Omg, she is leaving that company?
Wow. I really liked her. Hope she
does good there too.
Taebae:
Really? This is what you have to say?
Me:
You want me to be angry?
How dare she? How can she do it?
I absolutely hate her!!
Taebae:
Wtf 😂😂
Me:
Chill. You'll be fine. But why its
always her in all the rumours?
Taebae:
Is someone being jealous??
😏😏
Me:
Is someone trying to be cocky when he is already is at fault?
Taebae:
😬
Me:
😂😂
Taebae:
So. When are u shifting to the hostel?
Me:
2nd August. The session starts on 5th August.
Taebae:
Cool
Days on, I'll be busier.
But, I'll try my best to contact
you.
Me:
Are we getting something new 👀
Taebae:
Yeah 😉
Me:
What's it?
Taebae:
Nah
Me:
Pweese
Taebae:
Nah naa na
Me:
Taebae:
Are you bribing me?
Me:
Maybe.
*Inserts winking selfie*
Taebae:
Me:

Taebae:

Me:
Time for me to get lost.

Taebae:

TAEHYUNG'S POV
I felt something today, I felt confident.
My muscles moved in sync calling Sasha with a broad smile as if plastered on my face.
[Hel-]
[I love her!]
[Huh?]
[I love her. I truly do. I knew from the way her eyes slightly drooped from not enough sleep the night before that I was in love with her. I knew from the way her fingers softly intertwined
with mine that I was in love with her. I knew from the way her laugh made a pitch black room suddenly fill with colour that I was in love with her. I knew from the fact that friends and family noticed me being happier lately that I was in love with her. I knew from the moment we met and she cried on my shoulder because she felt so safe that I was in love with her. I knew that from the excitement that filled her and I when we first saw each other that I was in love with her. I knew from the way her humour reached unknown heights that challenged mine that I was in love with her. I knew that from the happiness she gave me that I was in love with her. Since I met her I was in love with her. She resonates deep within me, each day a little farther in. She makes a home out of me and I hold her softly each time she does. I couldn't ever not be in love with her.]
[Detailed huh? You just spoke it in a breath. Good job. Be happy guys. My wishes are with you]
[Thanks]

Taebae:
Done packing?
Me:
Almost.
Taebae:
What's left?
Me:
You. Come here and make your
self comfortable in my trolley bag.
Taebae:
🤦
Me:
How's you?
Taebae:
Was good, now better😁
Me:
Cheesy.
Taebae:
😂😂
3rd August, 2:00 PM
Taebae
Me:
.
Woah. This place is cool.
My roommate's name is Stacy.
And she looks like a really
sweet but pampered girl. 😂
4:00 PM : The food here is not great.
6:17 PM : I remembered, I am still an
orphan
8:00 PM : I am not going back to him.
I am done.
10:00 PM : Am I right?
12:00 AM : Should I reconcile?
Taebae:
Sorry sorry.
I was busy.
Me:
Have you eaten yet?
Taebae:
Just going to eat.
Me:
Are you crazy? Just go and EAT!!
Are you a kid?
Taebae:
I'm on a diet.
Me:
Fuck that toxic diet!
You gotta eat to survive.
Taebae:
I've gained weight.
Me:
You seem perfectly fine to me.
Go to the mirror and look
at your handsome face and
perfect physique!
Taebae:
I'm perfectly fine with the diet.
You tell. What about your dad?
Me:
I don't really know.
Taebae:
Don't run from it
Me:
I am not running from it
I think bout it each day.
But I just can't come to a conclusion.
I cannot just forgive him!
Taebae:
Then don't!
Me:
Huh?
Taebae:
But talk to him.
Let him make an attempt
to prove his sincerity.
Then decide. Even after that, if
you're unsure, then leave him be.
You said, he loved your mom, right?
I know he did a mistake, or I should
say, a sin! But he must have felt
pangs in his heart too. I am not
justifying him.
Me:
It must be so easy to say right?
Ask me!
A little child left all alone.
Ask me how many time I
burnt myself trying to light the
gas stove.
Ask me how I've tried to hold
back my tears each night.
Ask me how it felt being awake
each night, fearing nightmares
of loneliness.
He was not there when I needed
him, how can he just pop up
out of the blue and expect me to
resume life from where he left?
How can I possibly just forget a decade
of heartbreak?
I think, I got my answer. I cannot
forgive him.
Taebae:
Are you sure?
Me:
At least for now.
Am working on that artwork
for Sasha's gallery right now.
Taebae:
Show show 👀
Me:
Nah na na
*Someone having deja vu?*
Taebae:
Oh come on!
Me:
Not until I finish it.
Taebae:
Oohkay 🤐
Me:
Are you sure about that diet thing?
I've heard about those
toxic diets of kpop idols.
Taebae:
Is ever so stoic Kaylie caring
for me??
Like wow!!
Me:
Stop joking around.
I am pretty serious.
Taebae:
Don't worry. Its not any toxic
diet.
Me:
Lets see.
If you become sick or something,
I'm gonna burn down that industry
Taebae:
You're gonna make me jobless 😂😂
Me:
Oh ya, right.
Then I'll just hand choke your
dietitian.
Taebae:
I support no violence 😂😂
Chill babe, its just a diet.
I am accustomed to it.
Me:
😗😗
If you say so.
Take care. 💕
Taebae:
Me:
😂😂
