Pop idle's Dove | Tae Young x Reader

Endless calls and arguments

Y/n pov.

Once I got home having already eaten my cat biscuit I notice my phone is buzzing in my pocket and take it out to see Tae Young is calling! I immediately answer and say hi and I thought he had to work so I asked him about it but he said that his family gave him the day off. I then open the door to go inside my house but when I do open it I find my mum and my eldest sister bickering. Just then my sister threw a bowl of porridge at the floor and started screaming at my mum with tears and black mascara running down her face. 

"YOU NEED TO GET A JOB! GET A LIFE AND GET OUT OF MY ATTIC ROOM! I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE IN UNI AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW BUT EVER SINCE YOUR FATHER DIED YOU HAVE BEEN A LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING B-" My mum rants in a frenzy

I rushed to my room in a hurry to avoid the scene. Usually, my mum would pull me in to make me confront my sisters but today she saw a was on a call and I breathed one huge sign of relief.

Although Tae, unfortunately, heard the bowl come crashing to the floor. "Y/n? Are you ok, what was that loud bang?" He questioned and I answered saying it was just family problems.

"What are you hurt, if it's bad I can come to pick you up from your house?" I laughed and said that it was fine but as always I secretly did want someone to save me from this house. 

Everyone was always fighting no matter what happened. I'm sick of it but I can't intervene because if I do I'll just get pulled along and get involved. I do not want to split up my family. 

"It's always like this." I sighed but Tae heard the crack in my voice when I said always so he must have assumed I was crying, which by now I was. I raked my hands through my hair and my eyelashes became drenched and running with clear mascara.  

"I'm staying on the phone ok? I don't care how long it takes I just want to cheer you up and make you happy." Tae whispered which made me happy already that he cared.

So here I am in my sage green, white polka dot bedding with strings of fairy lights hanging above my head texting this boy, I ignore the calls from my mum and the arguments and the music outside the neighbor's house. We chat endlessly about art and English and in general things we love. We both like animals though, he prefers doves while I am obsessed with parrots but then again swans are cool too. He is absolutely a geek, yet I don't seem to be phased by it.

Usually, I get annoyed when somebody rambles about things I don't care about but this person seems to be different. I like listening when it's him I'm listening to, his voice is addictive to me but not in the same way someone would be addicted to alcohol, like a child in a sweet store running about and never being able to get enough of the sweet sugary taste.

I notice while calling him that to me everything about him even his very few flaws seem to be perfect to me. He is like the only soul in this world that fits right in with mine.

We chat about meaningless stories of our past like that one time my best friend from year one got a straw stuck up her nose or when her uncle gave her alcohol because he was drunk, and she was only seven. I get to hear his laugh so much and like Tae's voice, it is addictive. We talk about life, who we are, and what we want to be. He has dreams of being this big pop star with albums while I wish to b,e a singer and then settle down to be an author when I am older. We both have dreams of moving far away from here, somewhere better where nobody can tell us what to do and what to be. We talk about endless dreams and fantasies of what we want to make of ourselves.

After only one day and I am helpless. And then, I look over and see the time and holy cow-

It's 3 AM?! How?! I haven't eaten or slept!
