Taehyung's POV:

"Kim taehyung"

My already weary eyes rolled at the back Of my head as I heard my grandma calling my name from downstairs.

I struggled to work my body up from the bed as last night I slept late. Well later than my usual 2 a.m. so. Yeh, I know it's kind of fucked up but I am the only person in this house that is earning and I have to do bills, payments, and an old endless debt to pay off. I like to work as long as my body is physically on the verge of dying, yeh that's how I like to live. Well, I have to live that way whether I like it or not.

I sighed as I looked at the old clock hanging on the dim yellow wall, well it was white when I was little. The clock looked like it would come crashing down any moment if I didn't fix it and not to mention the battery of it seemed to run down again.

Another thing to add on to the endless bills.

A series of curses left my mouth as I finally left my tiny yet comfortable bed. It made a squeaking sound as I lifted my weight. Yeah, the bed is on my second list of things to buy.

There just never seemed to be anything in this two-bedroom two-story house that I didn't need to replace or repair. I can't blame this house though, it's as old as my 70-year-old grandma cooking breakfast downstairs.

I just ran my hand through my messy ruff hair as I padded toward the curtain hanging around in the corner, yeh that's my bathroom. The door fell off one day for god knows what reason and I didn't have enough money to fix it. Well see the room is mine and the door locks perfectly so what is the need for privacy in my own room right!?

I hardly rub my body with the shop, another weird habit of mine being rough with my body. Well, what is the need to be gentle anyway I am not some K-pop star.

The cold water ran down my body sending the last beat of sleep away.

I ran out, butt naked. Well, what is the need for privacy here again? It's just me and my shitty bedroom that's it. I grabbed the towel thrown down on the ground by me yesterday and wiped my body with it.

Yeh, I am a messy bitch, and I can't do anything about it.
I don't have time to clean and when I have I am too lazy to do that. So as a result I have this mess lying around my room all the time.

I heard my grandma turning on her radio downstairs and the news was already playing. That means it's already past 8.

Fuck that son of a bitch is going to slice me into pieces.

I thought of my boss at work as I wore whatever came into my vision and ran downstairs. I stumbled here and there as I fixed my damp hair a little.

I was about to go out of the house when my grandma called again,
"You are never going to have food with me huh!? "

Ouch!!! It hurt to hear my grandma say that, the only person who cared for me enough to stay with me till now.

"one day Grandma, one day I promise"

I run to her and give her a hasty kiss on the cheeks. It warmed my heart every time she smiled at me.
"Kim taehyung you better stand on your words"

"Lee Taehyung grandma... Lee Taehyung"

I said as a pit of my stomach growled with annoyance at my father's surname put before my name. It just makes my name feel filthy just like him.

My grandma shook her head and went back to crocheting probably something she would make me wear in a few days.

I loudly yelled goodbye as I went away locking the door behind me. I know it sounds crazy but I don't want anyone breaking into my house and hurting my grandma. She knows how to find another key if she ever has to go out in an emergency.
