School days : 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑰

Tae's POV ✦~

"Sigh" I say calmly, today has been so stressful to process, my homework is basically all over the place and my days of freelancing are over. My assignments aren't hard tho.....I just feel to be lazy but at the same time that doesn't mean I should hurt my brain. "Taeyung, you're gonna be late" my friend Min hae was calling me non-stop, she's basically my alarm clock at this point, I quickly packed my bags and headed out with her to my house. On our way out I spotted a couple making out and whispered to Min "they look awfully cute today, sure hope she doesn't cheat again" Min nudged me hard in my stomach and told me to mind my own business but I can't help it, I've been pessimistic from day one and it's pretty common to hate on people who are in toxic relationships nowadays. Right now, I can't seem to find a good girl in my life because of my past, sure Min is an exception but she's taken and I support her relationship with her Bf. All I can't do is sigh and dream, relationships are pointless.

At the house~

"Mama, I'm home" I shouted as loud as possible, pissing off my mom is fun, especially when she's watching K-drama. Siblings aren't home yet since there school isn't over till 6pm. To clarify that, my siblings take extra lessons to up their grades, personally that could never be me. "Gwi-chan-ke guji maigo" my mom said, I replied back "Dangsin-I -geuleouge malhandamyeon" and snickered. She turned around, huffed and went back to her K-drama.
I went upstairs to get my room ready and do my assignments.

36 minutes later~

Ahh......I said in agony, these assignment killed the hell outta me, I swore I'm reincarnated. I checked the time and it was 4:49pm, groaning in pain I decided to sleep for an hour or two.

I fell asleep after staring at my phone...but I entered a weird dream land.

Into the dreamland~
"My my, you look so weird wandering like a sad useless beggar" said a voice , "Do you even have parents at all " laughed another voice, all the voices joined together and laughed at me. The voices all sound familiar somehow but I couldn't make out who they we're. "Well if looking like a beggar pays off, then atleast it doesn't make me a cold heartless bitch" I said coldly. Taken aback the voice said "at least I'm rich, your sentence didn't help defending you, try some proper dissing sometime it helps with the brain" the voice snapped.....silence broke and no one moved. I finally mouthed "atleast I had one, you threw yours away the minute you got in this school". The crowd gasped and after a short silence it was just me and the voice. In this dream land everyone's face was covered a bit but not clearly shown. She came closer and tried to touch me but I quickly moved....something was wrong, I could feel it, I quickly turned and ran away as fast as possible.
At last I reached my house and ducked, as I saw a flying pink bag. My mom and dad we're arguing and Dad threw multiple things out the door. He shouted at my mom for cheating on him and continuously cried as my mom tried to defend herself. " You heartless bitch" he said crying "I trusted you with everything, all day you went out with him and then you two fucked"....the pain in his voice was so sad and harsh that my mom cried along with him. " Im sorry" she said "but what was I supposed to do, you left me here with 3 kids to raise all by myself, for all I care you could be cheating too". I was shocked and my dad shouted at her " You fucking filthy attention whore of a mother cheated on me just because 7 business days left you unsatisfied,...you know what fuck you and fuck Bae Chan, I hope you both end up in hell". He packed his bags while my mom pleaded, "Please don't leave me here, I'll die alone" she said. "Die alone? Thats your excuse for all I know Bae chan has all the money you could imagine, I gave you kids, worked my ass off and this is thanks I get, I used to love have a beautiful gracious woman by myside, I even called you when you got lonely.................but I see now, nothing I do is good enough, have fun with your lover and have fun raising 3 kids because from now on, I won't be giving you any money or attention, you clearly don't want it or deserve it." Silence broke and my mom got bitter, she mouthed something I wouldn't expect from her. "So you don't love your kids, hmph I knew it, all this time you left me here to tolerate the annoying brats without a fucking father....only on weekends you came home, then at night you vanished.......only when I decided to cheat you care? God knows how many times I prayed for you to get home but no.............fuck you too and fuck all your co-workers, I don't want anything from you.................ever". Dad didn't anything he just turned around walked slowly and slapped my mom. She cried and burst into tears" I knew it! You obviously don't love me! Your just as heartless to hit me and leave me....................we're both the same then." Dad again slapped her, this time harder and more with rage. She screamed and shouted but it was no use. No one heard anything......but I did....the fear took over me, but this wasn't the first. My mom has been cheating on Dad for 2 years, she previously gaslighted my siblings but I purposefully hid and never spoke a word. Right now Dad doesn't care about what she thinks and he's right. Bae chan, his co-worker is as sly and manipulative as my mom but Dad manages to get through, I always thought we were a happy and contented family....I even tried to smile and fake it.......but deep down .........I knew I was wrong. Dad shouted at mom and told her she is cold, useless, manipulative and horrible as Bae and he told her if she forces us to keep her affairs as a secret, he'll take our house and sell it to his boss. After that he left.

I hid in the bushes and my mom cried and ran after my Dad but of course she failed. This dream was basically a timetravel because now I remember why I'm so pessimistic and biased in the first place. I went into the house through my back door and tiptoed up to my room. I saw my mom crying downstairs, I felt bad but deepdown she derseved it.

After the dream~♥︎✦♥︎~

I woke up tired and checked the time, it was 7:17pm, I shooked my head and sighed, what a dream. The dream was probably a reminder of how things were, after that I was never the same and was never happy. My mom tried to be there for me now more than ever, but I can still see she didn't take that blow very well. She cut ties with Bae Chan and he tried to convinced her to get back with him but he failed, in this instance my mom was never the same and my siblings don't know yet. Dad filed for divorce and successfully got his own house and money, he still talks to me often but he barely connects with my siblings, I think he's trying to protect their innocence but it doesn't always work. My mom shouted "Tae, dinner's ready!" I groaned and walked downstairs, my siblings we're already home and they didn't look to happy. "How was school?" I asked them. Eun my sister, said "today was stressful and I basically failed two exams, now Mama is mad at me". I consoled her, she's my little sister after all and I can't let mom bash her. "So how was your day Dohyun?" my younger brother responded "pretty much neutral, nothing special". My family has been like this all the while, so I have to take care if my siblings and juggle homework and school projects. It's not so bad since Mom tried to help but seeing her emotional state, I had to step in.

After Dinner....

As I walked up the stairs, I saw my little sister crying, I ran up to her and hugged her. " What's wrong Eun?" I asked. She said "Mom slapped me, after dinner she assumed I was dating a boy just because I failed two exams, I hate it here". She cried and sniffled in my jacket, I just washed it out yesterday now her tears ruined it, but she's my little sister after all. I got some of her favourite chocolate and give it to her, she cheered up a little but I could still sense her sadness. She obviously felt hurt and mistreated, so I sent her to bed and went to mine.

~~~~~~~~~~

I contemplated again wondering how I could help my sister, but fell asleep into dreamland, strangely enough I got back we're I picked up.

Into dreamland~
1 week later~

My mom cried all night while my siblings were sleeping, I couldn't sleep, I know this is a dream but God was she annoying......basically I felt so......irritated but that's how life goes.
I woke up in my own dream, just to hear screaming,.......oh I remember this one......someone broke into our house and left a note....but I wonder who. I quickly put my clothes and rushed down stairs, my siblings we're shocked and my mom got angry. She basically threw herself on the floor and cried her heart out on some useless note, she picked herself up and called the repair man, she argued and shouted until she got her answer. Since Bae Chan got cut off by mom, she started taking things seriously and since Dad left he never came back to help, now mom just sits here at home, doing nothing at all but crying. Luckily our neighbor's help her from time to time but they too left her. I headed off to school and never once looked back at my sorrow filled mother.

At school~

"Min!" I shouted happy to see her, but she didn't hear me. "Min!" I shouted ,no answer. That's strange, normally she would wave but all of a sudden she vanished. I was shocked and scared. Why did Min vanish and why is there fog spreading around me, the fog spread till nothing remained, I felt lifeless and confused so I passed out. "Taeyung! Taeyung!......taeyu-

I gasped for air, and touched myself and looked around. It was just a dream but why did it feel real for some reason. I got out of bed and checked the time, it was 1:34am, I sighed, drank some water and sat up, something is wrong here in my dream if I can even call it that. My dreams feel like puzzle pieces all of a sudden, I loose an answer everytime I wake up. I have to find an answer somehow, but this just the beginning.

hey lovess I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I started it pretty dark but this is just an intro to Taeyung. Hope you all have a
great week so far. Byeeee😘
