25: "yes, father"

Song recommendation: Bad Religion by Frank Ocean

  *Tae POV *

I felt trapped.

This relationship with Jimin was suffocating me. I knew I did not love him and knew even more so that I never will. But, I pitied him.

I felt bad for him. His feelings for me were genuine, and here I was...using him.

Yes, I was using him for my own pleasure. I had gotten a small taste of being single, and I knew that I didn't want that for myself. I also knew that Jungkook and I weren't getting back together anytime soon, so I chose Jimin to be my boyfriend.

I had no real intentions of loving him. I just wanted to belong to someone. And it really helped that he was attractive, nice, popular and that my friends liked him. It also helped that he had an amazing body.

You may be shaking your head in disappointment about how I'm using the boy to make me feel better about myself, but I can't help it... I miss Jungkook so much.

"He was so toxic"
"Jimin seems nicer"
"You and Jungkook didn't match"

All of those phrases were said by the same people who supported my relationship with Jungkook the most.

It was crazy how fast people switch up.

*MONDAY*

The sound of my phone woke me up out of my sleep

Mochi 🐣 is calling...

Damn. I stared at the screen and watched the phone ring until I couldn't ring anymore.

I wasn't in the mood to talk to the blonde this morning.

I rolled off of my bed and lazily put my duvet and the pillows back into their rightful position. I contemplated crawling back into bed and getting some more rest, but I decided against it, given the fact I had an hour to get to school.

Mochi 🐣 is calling...

Are you serious? Again?

I didn't want to be a jerk and ignore his call for the second time, so I answered it, grabbing my phone and taking it with me to the bathroom.

"Hello," I grumbled.

"Hi baby," I heard his voice, but couldn't see his face.

"What do you need Mochi?" I used his nickname to disguise the fact I was irritated.

"I wanted to tell you I'm not going to be at school today. I have a tummy ache," he pouted as his face finally got in the camera.

I'm not going to lie, he did sound cute.

"Awww! My poor baby! You want me to skip with you?" I kind of wasn't looking forward to going to school today.

"Ah no Tae, you already missed enough days of school," his eyes closed tightly as he laughed.

"You're right," I laughed lowly and grabbed my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it.

"Well, Im going to let you finish getting ready, have a good day at school bear," he kissed the camera screen as if it was my lips.

"Okay baby. I'm will come over after school and give you a billion kisses," I kissed my camera back, internally cringing.

Jimin chuckled shyly and hung up the phone leaving me sitting there in silence as I finally began brushing my teeth.

Kookie 🥺 is calling...

I didn't let the phone ring one time before I answered it.

"Good morning," my voice was a little bit too enthusiastic.
