05 ~ Kim Taehyung hates me

Mimi

"Hey Momo, you know Kim Taehyung hates me. He told me by himself that he hates me.” I sigh while petting her head, “You know I'm a little hurt, a little bit. I've a crush on him for the last four years. Can you imagine? And he doesn't even know. I know he has a daughter but crush is crush, right? But I never want him in my life. Never, I don't even dare to think about that but I never thought I'd meet him in this circumstances and he'd hate me like this." I inhale and exhale deeply. I know she can't talk or understand anything yet my mind feels light now.

She begins to cuddle with my hand flipping continuously as she's so happy to see me here with her, after I'm done with my long seven hour shift in the store. Finally, I'm with her, she is expressing her happiness by flipping over and over again. I smile.

"At least you're happy because of me." I play with her for half an hour and check my watch, it's already Ten Thirty five and I'm late again. My mother is going scold me again tonight. I want to live alone often, leaving behind all of the chaos, screams, scolding, everything, however, I'll miss my family.

Some of my friends already shifted to dorm or new apartments and they offered me to be their roommate yet, I refused. No matter how much my mother scolds me for some silly matters, yet she cares for me a lot.

"Momo, I've to go now, be a good girl, okay? And don't leave this place. I'll be back tomorrow." She barks softly and I stand up, I turn round to leave the allay but I feel something stuck on my ankle, I look down and see Momo, the creature grabs my ankle with her four legs. She doesn't want me to leave her, I bend down and pick her up on my arms and star to massage her head lightly.

"I'm sorry, Momo, I can't take you with me, just stay here for few days, I'll make my angry mother agree no matter what. Trust me— " I smile. She is barking continuously, the creature doesn’t want me to go. I pick her up and press her on my forehead. I wish I could take her with me.

"Oh, Momo, I'm so sorry, my baby. I wish I could take you home with me but my mother would think you as an extra problem and nothing else.” A sob leaves from my mouth unknowingly. I didn’t realize when did I start crying unknowingly.

After a while, I feel her not barking and she's already sleeping. Peacefully. I let out a huge sigh and place her down to her hut carefully.

"Good night, have a sweet dream, my baby. We'll meet tomorrow.” I whisper  and get up to catch a bus. Hopefully I'll be able to find a bus quickly. My whole body is burning means I'm having a fever again, the body temperature is increasing and I'm already shivering. Hopefully I'll be able to reach home.

"Do you know what time is it? Or you just forgot to check your watch, Mi?" The first thing that my mother says whenever I step into the leaving room. Typical mother behaviour. "You didn't even return home last night." She yells and I sigh, bending down and putting off my sneakers, I start to digest her words. There's no willpower left in my body to answer her questions. Let her speak and yell, she'll stop automatically.

"Why are you not answering my question, Mi?" She asks and I look at her, she's crossing her arms with a raised brow while demanding some valid answers from me. I flash her a small smile.

"Mom, I'm hungry. I'll answer everything later, I'm too hungry to speak, Ma—” I coax softly while rubbing my belly.

"Go and freshen up, then come directly to the kitchen, I was waiting for your arrival, when my great daughter will arrive and I'll feed her then finally go to sleep." She says and I chuckle. “I'm here, Mamma—” I say as I directly take a seat on the chair and my mother scrunches her nose.
