Sweat trickled down an already damp forehead, creating a cooling sensation when the light early morning breeze would hit the boys face. He took deep breaths and stared out of his window, taking in the dimmed view of his neighbourhood that wouldn't see him again.

As he watched the sky grow lighter into a calming blue shade, his cut fingers reached out for the pen and paper that had been sitting beside him for some time.

He began carelessly write, yawning every now and then due to not having enough sleep. Once he was done, he read over the letters with a bored face.

'Dear dad, I'm leaving to jump off a bridge, don't come find me or call the police even though I know you won't but just INCASE you use a brain cell please don't listen to it. By the time you read this I'll definitely be with mum and definitely not somewhere else.

— Taehyung (your son, incase that brain cell doesn't work)'

Taehyung placed the note on his bed with a satisfied face, picking up his backpack of clothes and necessities, and then his folder full of art supplies and art books. Once he decided that he was fully equipped for his journey, he quietly moved out of his room and down the creaky stares.

His hands shook a little out of fear, sharp eyes casting themselves upon the poor excuse of a father passed out on a chair downstairs. Taehyung sucked in a breath when he reached the last step, then he dragged his feet towards the front door and opened it as quietly as he could.

The breath left him when he shut the door behind him and stepped into the crisp autumn air. He no longer felt clammy due to how fearful he was thanks to cold breeze than caressed his bruised face.

Right, where did that dodgy landlord say he had the house available? Taehyung took out his phone and walked as he read through the texts that dated back from weeks ago. It was a random bloke he had met on Facebook with a horrible attitude, but it was his best deal for someone who was unemployed.

annoying landlord

th
Okay sir can you send the address please

annoying landlord
Sent a location
Meet me here at 7 am and I'll show you the place

Taehyung placed the address into google maps, sighing when he remembered that he had to travel across the country. It would be a 3 hour train ride all the way down further south, but he didn't mind it too much since it would give him time to sleep and it would be worth all the trouble.

He plugged in his earbuds, taking out the train tickets he had booked using the last of his pay check once he arrived at the empty train station. Once he inserted them, he stood at the first platform with a raised chin, head turning to the screen that showed the train times.

Just in a time. A satisfied smile appeared on Taehyung's face. He gripped onto his backpack straps tightly before taking a look around, when he saw there was no station staff he quickly leapt over the gates and jogged towards the platform.

Within five minutes, his train came shooting past and slowly slowed down in front of him. He extended his boney finger and pressed the open button and then shortly stepped on. It was relatively empty since it was a random Wednesday morning and it was the first train of the day, no one else would want to be at the station at 4 am.

However, that wasn't the case when Taehyung sat down and caught a glimpse of a male pacing around in the carriage opposite him.

The boy took out one earphone and leaned to the left to get a better view, raising his eyebrows when he saw a boy around his age yelling on the phone through the doors.

Probably some crackhead, let me not get caught staring and then stabbed. Taehyung shuddered at the thought and went back to leaning against the window.

As much as he wanted to sit and watch the scenery go by like an edgy music video, he was far too exhausted. He decided to just close his eyes and let sleep take over, keeping his music at a high volume to make sure that he wouldn't fall asleep completely.

I hope I'm not getting scammed.

hi guys 😁
