Yesterday I was out with Taehyung so I couldn't spend time with my girlfriend. So that's why, right now I am now on a call with my girlfriend.
She told me she wanted to go to the club together today. I didn't want to go, but agreed because she asks to go to the club once in while.
But now she suddenly cancelled our plans. Like- what the fuck!? Last time she cancelled our plans too. She always ditches me.
" Lisa why don't you want to come!?" I asked, more like shouted because I was already dressed up and waiting for her for like an hour.
" B-Baby some work came up....please don't be mad at me. 'M so sorry..." She said and I cringed. She tried to talk cutely but it doesn't suit her. It only suits Taehyung.
" No Lisa. You literally made me wait for an hour just to know that you aren't coming!? Do I look like always free or something to you!?" Jungkook yelled a little as he was frustrated.
" Baby I don't do it on p-purpose. I promise I will make it up to you. But don't be angry at me. You know I hate it when you shout at me." She whined but awfully failed at it too. No one whines better than Tae.
I sigh and cut the phone without saying anything. I fall on my bed. I don't even know what wrong I have done in life do deserve this loneliness.
I don't have friends to contact, my girlfriend is busy, my parents are extra busy. I want to just spend some time outside with someone, but looks like no one has any time for me.
" Let's go." Taehyung said and I just looked up because I was lying on the bed.

" Where?" I asked him sadly.
" Somewhere. It's a nice night so just let me take you somewhere." Taehyung said. I exhaled and got up.
He wanted to select the car and whined like a baby when I said no and showed me his puppy eyes, so I just said yes.
And this how we ended in my Ferari Portofino.
It was already 9:15pm or something and he was taking me through a hilly area.
The air was fresh and cool to be honest, but we were the only once on this road so it was getting scary for me.
" Ok- now take a left turn and then we will reach our destination." He said while smiling his boxy smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
We reached in the middle of somewhere.
" Open the top please." He said excitedly. I nodded.
I stared up and the scenery I saw above me was very beautiful and calming.
" Wow....This is beautiful." I muttered and kept gazing at the sky.
" Beautiful, isn't it? I don't know I just remembered this place so I took you here. I remember coming here with two people but I don't remember their face." He softly said and pouted.
There was silence for sometime but was not uncomfortable at all. I don't know why I had the urge to talk to him, so I did.
" You remember the three people who broke in a shop?" I started. He looked at me and nodded. I just kept staring at the stars.
" They used to be my friends. They are like me. From a rich, top class families. We used to break in the shops or do something like that once in a while for some fun. Basically even though I didn't have my parents to keep company with, I had my friends to hang out with. I wasn't alone." I said and remembered my memories with those guys.

" They used to love each other you know. And I supported them in that. We were so close."
" Then why don't you talk to them now? You don't even send them a message." Taehyung asked me with his soft voice.
I just took a heavy breath and closed my eyes because tears had started forming in them.
" I started liking Lisa. She was very sweet and caring and gave me a lot of time and attention, more than them and my parents. She was the one who was with me most of the time and I couldn't help but started liking her. She proposed to me one day and I said yes. But when I told them she was my girlfriend, they showed no interest in her." I told him and looked at him just to see his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
" I asked them what the problem was but they said that she is not the right girl. They think something wrong about her. From that day we used to have fights. One day, they suddenly told me she was cheating on me. I just couldn't take it anymore. I thought, 'why couldn't they accept my love like I accepted theirs?' So I said many bad things to them and their relationship. They just saw me in disgust and we broke our friendship. From that day, I'm mostly alone or with Lisa." I told him and he looked at me in sadness.
" Did you ask them about the cheating thing?" Taehyung asked. " Did you ask them why they said that?"
" No I didn't. Why would I? They were accusing my girlfriend of cheating! She is one of the most sweetest girl." I told him.
We both continued gazing the stars.
" Hey, it's 11:00 already! Let's go back or your parents might shout at you!" Taehyung giggled.
" Yeah you are right." I told him and he nodded while smiling.
I closed the top of car and then started driving back to my house.
" Tae?" I started and he hummed.
" Thank you. I felt calm with you today."

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

8 98The Swimming Pool from Another Freaking Dimension
When the world’s on fire and your garden sprinkler is not going to cut it, there’s only one thing to do: just dig.

Just dig, baby. Stranded in a mountaintop suburb monitored by military drones and plagued by wildlife and weather gone crazy, Dezzy and his teenaged neighbour, Sonia, are just trying to save their homes from the next megafires – by digging the biggest, deepest, most badass swimming pool possible. A chlorinated moat at the edge of their derelict suburb that might also provide a refreshing dip in between raging infernos. Only they dig up more than they bargained for, a hell of a lot more. Never mind the secret military base, the burn-scarred locals and their Truth Church, or those birds attacking people out of the blue, because Dezzy and Sonia have bigger things to worry about, things perhaps not of this freaking near-future reality.
