His Sweet Taste || Seungjin

28. 🌷

The next day.

Jisungs pov.

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my parents arguing yet again. Who knows how many times I have been woken up to screams and the sounds of glass getting slammed against the wooden floor of our living room. To say that I was used to this was an understatement. I had to live my whole life knowing that my parents love was a lie. Though they tried their best to hide it away from me, a childs intuition stays strong. They never divorced because they didn't want me to grow up without a father figure in my life.

My father used to be a superstar when he was my age. Music was his passion and due to that he lived a reckless life. Always out at night clubbing, drinking, smoking, doing the deed with countless women... He lives recklessly even now, while my mother on the other hand was a psychologist who fell in love with her patient, my father. Now even I know that it was the dumbest decision my mother had ever made, but love isn't something we can easily control or choose who our heart leads us to. I was told by my aunt that my father had changed his life style upon marrying my mother, however one night he decided to switch back to his old self leading to many arguments afterwards.  What surprises me is the fact that they were able to create a child together, me.

"You were a son that was made purely out of love." - my mother used to tell me. Pure lies. They never loved each other, at least my father had never loved my mother.

Flashback.

"Bye Seungmin, talk to you later!"

"Bye Jisung, take care!" - waved Seungmin

I was at the doorstep to my home, coming back from school. Though before I could ring the bell I heard a loud thump coming from the other side of the door.

"HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME, AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS OF MARRIAGE? HAVE THOSE SLUTS DONE ANYTNING THAT I HAVE FOR YOU?!"

"Listen Geum-hi, I understand your anger but-"

"But what?" - I heard my mother say coldly

"I was living a life that I knew wasn't for me. A perfect, calm life isn't something I'm used to or know how to live."

"You... I even gave you a son. What a waste. He looks just like you."

Hearing that at a young age surely wasn't pleasing. The pure hatred my mother had shown towards me in that moment stung my heart at the time.

"Don't bring Jisung into this, we both know that he wasn't a mistake. He was a child we made to strengthen our bond."

"Bond you say? A bond you broke so easily for some whore pus-"

I finally collected the strength to ring the doorbell in hopes of stopping the fight. My father was quick to shush my mother before opening the door for me. His face filled with nothing but shock.

"Hannie, you got home early?"

"Yeah..." - my voice cracked, I tried my best not to cry because in that moment I knew nothing would be the way it was before.

Oh how I wish I never came home that day.

End of flashback.

A tear slowly made its way down my dimples upon awakening the memory. If I stayed in bed for any longer I would break apart. So I slowly made myself get up and headed towards the bathroom. My hair all messy from sleeping, face puffy and eyes red. I looked a mess. A mess my parents have made. At that moment I wished I haven't been born at all.

My thoughts started eating me alive, I tried to come up with something that could possibly distract me from this misery. A hot shower sounded about right. I let my hand go through my hair, took my sweatpants off and hopped into the shower. Wanting to forget about everything . Who I was, what I was and where I was. I was no one, which for once made my heart feel at ease.

At school.

I ended up not sleeping the rest of the night, instead I chose to draw while headphones were playing music in my ears leading to many ideas flashing in front of me like whispers in the wind.

"Yo Ji, for once you aren't late in the morning. Everything alright?" - asked Seungmin

"Couldn't sleep through the night." - I said through a sigh

"Don't tell me they fought again...?" - he said with a worried expression

"You are right on point, but don't worry about it. Let's go."

Seungmin hesitantly nodded, we then made our way towards the school. A morning that reminded me of my cruel fate and took me back all of the "living in a fairytale" thoughts which roamed my mind these past few days.

What else could possibly await for me today?
