FOG

It was late November, Taehyung looked at the sky and saw how fog had covered everything. He wasn't  able to make out what was 10 steps ahead of him. Everything was so confusing just like his life. He wanted to leave everything and go home. But he couldn't, he had a very important lecture today. He signed and walked ahead with difficulty.

After a long troublesome walk, he reached school. He looked above at the place he dreaded visiting the most. He was thinking if he could cover today's lecture by self-studying, which he always preferred, but he got anxious thinking that his teacher might give some handy information that he would miss and would be left behind by others. So he pushed that thought to the back of his mind and walked ahead. 

Another reason why Taehyung couldn't go home was that he had a good image in school, he was the most attentive child and one of the top students in his grade. If he starts constantly missing his classes then that would lead to his loss which he could never bear.

It was hard, very hard for him to maintain this respectable image in school as everyone now had great expectations from him, if he behaved in a way that was not pleasing to others he would receive immediate comments that would hurt him deeply.

While contemplating his life decisions he heard someone call him

"Tae"

"Tae"

"Taehyung you bitch listen"

"BRUH don't ignore me at least now "

Taehyung turned around and looked at his best friend with cold eyes.

Jimin signed. He was used to Taehyung's new, cold behavior by now. He missed his old friend who was always bubbly and cheerful. He still loved Taehyung with all his heart as he knew that even though Taehyung was cold from the outside,  he was still soft and sensitive like before.

"Taehyung, what the fuck dude why don't you pick up my calls or text me back! "

Taehyung signed, he was tired of his best friend constantly texting him for stupid reasons, he remembered how he and Jimin used to always text each other for long hours, but now he felt that texting was a waste of his time and he would rather do something productive. 

If Jimin wasn't Taehyung's best friend, he would've just ignored him. But he cared about Jimin a lot so he always tried to talk nicely to him even though he was annoyed by Jimin's behavior.

He faked a smile and looked at Jimin.

"Sorry Chim, I didn't check my phone yesterday ", he lied.

"Dude you missed Jack's party, " Jimin said

"Yeah I know, I don't wanna waste my time with them doing stupid stuff "

"Taehyung, you cannot always study, sometimes you have to take brea-"

Taehyung rolled his eyes, turned around, and walked towards school, he was not in the mood to listen to the same thing Jimin told him for the nth time.

Jimin couldn't do anything, he tried his best to bring Taehyung out of his house to do something refreshing and fun but the younger would never oblige and stay inside studying all day. Jimin did this for the latter's sake, as Taehyung wouldn't even take 5 min of his day to breathe peacefully, he would constantly keep studying and would only get up from his desk to eat, use the restroom, and sleep for around 4-5 hours which he would reduce if he needed to.

Jimin knew if Taehyung continued this, he would face some issues not only his physically but also his mentally. He was scared that Taehyung would get depression because of his lack of social activity. 

Taehyung wouldn't even take time to communicate with his parents properly, he would only talk to them if he needed something. His parents were  worried because of his behavior. They tried to talk to Taehyung many times, but he just ignored them thinking that they did not understand him.

Due to all this Jimin decided that he will always stay by the younger's side even if that meant annoying him, he knew that Taehyung always appreciated his company even if his actions said the opposite.

So just like everyday Jimin went inside the school yelling to catch the latter's attention.
