《No more Illusions | KV ✔》12

Taehyung let his eyes scan over his group of friends, feeling disappointed to see only his five friends. Don't get him wrong, he loved his friends, but Jungkook wasn't with them and that left him disappointed. And sad, but he knew he fucked up and now he had to deal with the consequences.
Jimin sat down next to Taehyung right after their friends left, knowing something was off since Taehyung has been staring off into space the entire time, gnawing at his bottom lip and overall not participating in the conversations until his friends noticed. They shared knowing glances with each other Taehyung also didn't notice until Jimin nudged them out of the room to have a private conversation with the male.
Given the fact that Jungkook was behaving the same way, even locking himself up in his apartment and shooing Hoseok away, it was to no surprise on why the two were pouty. They fought, once again but this one seemed different. So Jimin took it upon himself and sat Taehyung on the couch, ready to interrogate him.
"Jungkook hates me", Taehyung beat him to it, before he could even ask anything, Taehyung has spoken up, unhappily looking up to the ceiling. Jimin snorted, pulling his legs up to his chest.
"Okay, tell me something new", Taehyung threw him a look of disbelief before his head fell to the back of the couch with a soft thud. Yeontan has curled up besides him after receiving the attention of Taehyung's friends and the little puppy was exhausted. Taehyung patted his soft fur.
"No, like-- I fucked up, Jimin. I fucked up big time and I don't know how I can fix it", Taehyung said quietly and he sounded so sad that Jimin immediately got concerned.
"Ugh, what drama do you have going on this time? I swear, I need a recap from last's episode", the male said, flipping his hair and Taehyung snorted, rolling his eyes at Jimin's low blow but he scrunched his nose when he remembered how hurt Jungkook has looked. God, when did his life become so messy?

"Jungkook kissed me", Taehyung dropped the bomb without talking around it, knowing Jimin would find out sooner or later and since he needed advice, it was the best to just tell him.
Jimin spat out his drink. "HE DID WHAT??!", he coughed, hitting his chest. He looked so shocked and taken aback that Taehyung giggled shortly before he composed himself and started to explain himself to Jimin in the hope for his help.
"I saw that he had his trailer next to mine and we fought... he then kinda confessed to me? And kissed me? And then left because I was too slow in saying I like him too. And now he's mad at me", Taehyung said in a tiny voice, fiddling with his fingers in Yeontan's fur. The tiny dog lifted his head and blinked up to his owner with precious puppy eyes before licking Taehyung's fingers.
"What the fuck, Tae. That's a script not even I would be able to write. How? And... how? Give me details, bitch!", Jimin screeched, scooting closer when he saw how teary Taehyung's eyes have gotten. He was Jimin's best friend and Jimin was ready to fight whoever hurt his dear TaeTae.
"I don't know, okay! I just really feel like an ass because I've judged him so fast and didn't let him explain and basically this whole feud between us is my fault...", Taehyung whispered, feeling guilty and stupid. Even though he has felt threatened and insecure, that wasn't an excuse to be an ass. Sure, Jungkook has jumped onto the same train and said some really mean things to him but it was started because of Taehyung. Maybe he wasn't the only one responsible but he wanted to end this stupid feud.
"We been knew Honey but continue", Taehyung shot his friend another glare.

"You are not helping, I hate you", he grumbled with a pout on his lips and Jimin laughed heartily, throwing his entire body across the couch to land on Taehyung. Yeontan released a displeased bark and jumped off of his owner's lap, waddling over to the other side of the couch and plopped down.
"Equal feelings. But you love me though", Jimin said when he composed himself. "Ugh", Taehyung groaned but there was a fond smile dancing on his lips to show everyone that Taehyung did love Jimin for being his best friend. "Can you shut up and help me please?, he then whined and used his best puppy eyes, knowing they always gave him what he wanted. And he now wanted Jungkook.
"Fine, only because I am such an amazing best friend. And as your guardian angel, my first advice shall be: go talk to your man, stupid hoe", Jimin said, nudging Taehyung's shoulder who whined and rubbed over the spot before looked down to his phone on the table, knowing this wasn't possible.
"He's ignoring my calls and not answering my texts... I don't know what to do anymore", Taehyung whispered, he looked so tiny and heartbroken that Jimin hugged him tightly and Taehyung pressed himself into the embrace of his best friend, sniffling silently. Jimin being Jimin wanted to cheer his friend up.
"Weird that you have the number of your arch nemesis but okay. You are a smart boy, TaeTae, you can't keep it lowkey with texts and calls. You gotta go to him and talk it out, properly. Maybe bring him his fave banana chocolate if it's serious", Jimin suggested his friend while caressing his bronze locks. Taehyung sighed softly.
"He confessed his love to me, Jimin, while I've been an insecure coward who didn't have the guts to say it back", he mumbled into Jimin's neck who smacked his lips and rolled his eyes.
"Get a whole truck then."
"Jimin!"

Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

8 106The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
