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?
