TAEHYUNG

He hadn't gotten to sleep. He was just a zombie now, following orders at a sluggish pace, which just made him get punished more and more.

He just needed to make it until Monday.

Make it until Monday.

Monday.

Taehyung started to clean his dad's car. He'd cleaned it yesterday, but it needed another wash, since his dad had driven it this morning.

After the car wash, he had to wash the walls of the house. All of them.

Then he had to clear out the attic. He dreaded this. He didn't know what he had wanted to keep or get rid of.

So, he went inside to wash the walls.

His hands shook, his body asked and a blood dripping from his skin.

There was a doorbell sound.

Or so he thinks. Taehyung might be starting to have hallucinations, so he ignores it. No one should be here anyway.

Ding dong.

It was the door. Someone was at the door. So, he grabbed a baseball bat and hoodie and went to the door. No one should be here, his dads not even here he and walked to work an hour ago.

He opened a door a little bit, the locks only letting the door go so far.

Yoongi.

And Jimin.

Worried.

Fuck.

"Taehyung? Is that you, are you okay? Can you let us in?" Yoongi asks.

Taehyung shakes his head.

"You sick?" Jimin tilt is his head to see under Taehyung's visor.

Taehyung gives a convincing fake cough. He avoids looking at anyone and ties to hide his hands.

"See? he's just sick." Jimin says.

Taehyung sways with a nod.

Yoongi gets in close and whispers something Jimin wouldn't be able to hear. "Did your dad do something?"

Taehyung shook his head. he was fine. he just needed to last until Monday.

Monday.

Monday.

"Can we come in?" Yoongi asks, louder now. It hurt Taehyung's ears.

Taehyung slams the door. He falls to the ground on the other side, feeling my immensely dizzy.There were knocks and bangs, shouts even. It all died out after a while. Taehyung felt himself drifting off, so he went and made some coffee. Then got back to work.

Monday.
