Taehyung POV

"And there it is, all done" I hear mom's excited cry from upstairs. She is unpredictable, one second we were in there helping her set up my room, the next we were shoved out for making an absolute mess there, but let me tell you all we did was open the boxes that had the supplies.

We climbed up to my room, honestly, there wasn't much to do, just gotta fill up the cupboards, decorate my desk and spread covers on the mattress, and mom did it immaculately.

Amidst the astonishment a tint of dread storms up as I stride to my desk, reaching to one particular belonging of mine, my purple friend, unsaid words all puked in ink, Zen, my diary.

"I swear Taetae, I didn't read it, I dare not peek into your obscene fantasies"

"Mom!!!!"she never misses a chance to embarass me now, would she?

"Ohh my baby!!" she chuckles ruffling my hair, and drags out dad with her downstairs.

My smile withered once they were out, eyes drifting to the portal of my unpleasant past.

"Trust me mom, you wouldn't like what you see there" I mumbled to myself, and set my purple possession underneath all the books, before moving down to join them.

It was nearly dusk when we decided to bid our farewell.

Mom hugs me for one last time and dad pats my shoulder with a proud face, the one that always made me feel loved, accepted and....worthy. I can see mom is this close to tearing up, but all she does is give me the smile that says everything's gonna be okay. Honestly I needed that, all I have ever known until now is Daegu, and had only visited Seoul a couple of times in my past seventeen years, but now, coming here, to a new country, a city full of admirers of art and fashion, people from different ethnicity and what not, it's quite a lot to take in, might I say I kinda feel alien in this new land, and quite skeptical if I could have the friends for life at least here in my uni days.

Nevertheless I wave at them both, standing my ground, shutting my pessimistic foe for now, as I watch them take a ride for the airport.

This is it, they will leave me here, to figure out life, all on my own. No more crying and ranting to mom, no more deep chats and night rides with dad, no more being the troublemaker or throwing any apple of discord between them, and the worst part is no more big screen, like mannnn, I live to binge watch netflix and specifically only and only on TV.....arghhh....and one thing that's still haunting me about dorms is my privacy....to hell with getting along with roommates, I sure as heck would be more than fine if my roommate were a rock. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a human or just a robot that doesn't need to be charged ever, programmed to work under isolation and to totally despise human interactions or any emotional connect.

Once the cab hits the left and can see them no more, I head back in, through the huge main gate leading uphill to the dorms and departments in a twisted pathway. I was too nervous to look around when I came here first, but now I need to notice, as this, is my only distraction.

This place has got an era of its own, it's rather enchanting to be part of this golden timeline, everything apart from the technologies required for a basic uni to run, are all traced back to the royal realm, with tints of magical dust littered to beautify. And it's high time I'm gonna get late for class if I don't figure out this tangled mess.
