Note: This book may not be that detailed. I want to get straight to the point.

Days passed;
they were fighting more.
The arguments never ceased.
Taehyung felt more exhausted overtime.
Though Jimin was there to cheer him up unknowingly at school, what happened when he would go to his so called 'home'?
More fights.
More screaming.
More damage.
More brokenness.
It was starting to become too much.
He wanted an escape.
No, he needed an escape and just having his best friend wasn't enough for him.
So what did he do?

He shakingly held his phone in his hand.
The voices were crowding the atmosphere outside.
Back and forth; they continued to shout.
It wasn't as bad as other times.
This time there wasn't any hitting included.
Just harsh words being spat at what's supposed to be their 'family' and reasonable words trying to fight back.
Positive and negative.
What a combination of parents to have right?
He was thankful that at least one of them was sane or else Bogum and himself would be doomed.

He scrolled through the apps.
His heart was racing with fear.
He wasn't sure what he had been looking for but something just something to at least help him escape his home life for the time that he was away from school.
He didn't keep in mind that escapes could be harmful sometimes.

He mindlessly clicked on an interesting app;
'Tweer is an app where you can make friends internationally as well as your residence. Live streaming, chats, post your favourite photos and watch your feed blow up! You'll never feel alone again.'
'Alone'
'Friends'
Those were the two words that caught his eyes.
If it would make him feel less alone and he can at least tell a stranger about his problems then what's there to lose...right?

He hesitated before pressing the install button.
He watched the app slowly become closer to being on his phone.
He bit his lower lip anxiously yet something inside of him gave him a rush.
He had a good feeling about this.
Maybe this was it.
Maybe this would help his life become a little less horrible.

Once downloaded his eyes twinkled with happiness.
That little tweak of happiness that engraved itself inside of him for a second.
He opened it.
Here goes nothing.
He won't have to rely on only Jimin anymore.
Maybe he wouldn't be much of a bother to anyone after he gets friends on this app.

The app loaded.
The logo lit up the screen and reflected on his face.
'Sign up or Log in' it read.
His finger hovered over the two;
'Sign up'
He typed his email and password.

Another message popped up making him raise an eyebrow;
'To complete your account, Please snap a photo of yourself in real time'
He was hesitant at first.
Didn't his dad tell him something about these kinds of things once?

He shrugged.
He lifted the device and snapped a photo of himself;
'Congratulations! Your first photo was uploaded!'
He frowned.
He didn't click for it to be uploaded but okay.

'Please input your name'

As time went on he felt a bit uncomfortable.
Was it supposed to ask all those things?
Again, he shrugged it off and typed his name in;
Kim Taehyung.

'Your profile is completed! Allow Tweer to access your media?'

Yes            No

'Allow Tweer to access your audio/microphone?'

Yes          No

'Allow Tweer to access your location?'

Yes       No

After that the app directed him on how things work on it.
What he didn't expect was a sudden notification.
Then another right after.
He clicked on it without any hesitation.
His heart raced in an unknown yet known feeling when he read what it said;

'Jeon Jungkook has liked your photo'

'Jeon Jungkook wants to be your friend'

Accept                or            Decline?

He clicked on the suspected male's name.
His eyes widened as the profile loaded to reveal the male that seemed quite known based on his 12 k followers.
He didn't bother reading the bio.
He scrolled down in awe of every one of the male's post;
'He's handsome' he thought.
He continued to scroll down only to accidentally like one of the other's photos.

"Crap!" He cursed under his breath.
He stared at the screen, wondering what he should do next.
"I might as well accept his request now huh?" He sighed.
His thumb finger hovered over the button.
Something inside of him felt off.
He wasn't sure what it was but he decided to ignore it for now.
Maybe it's because this was his first time.

'Jeon Jungkook wants to be your friend'

Accept                or            Decline

He threw his phone to the side and took a seep breath.
His heart raced with anxiety.
Did he make the right decision?
Is this Jungkook guy a good person?
His thoughts were interrupted by another 'ping' from his phone.
He grabbed it and looked at the notification.
His eyes widened in surprise as to what it read;

'Jeon Jungkook sent you a message'

He opened it;

Jeon Jungkook:

Hi beautiful :)

Author's note

Sometimes I wonder if i'm doing the right thing by making a book like this

Then I remember why i'm doing it in the first place...

I really hope this turns out the way that it's meant to be. Buckle up bunnies

Reminders for today:

Be careful on the internet. Not everyone, especially on the internet is worth trusting

Sometimes parents do actually know what's best for you. They may not always be right but there are some things they must do in order to protect you whether you like it or not

Trust your gut. Sometimes that hesitant feeling is a warning from your body that something isn't right

Be safe. Always please. I love you all like my own family, friends, loved ones, etc. Take care of yourselves hm?

See you in the next chapter.
