Nobody's hero. //KTH AU.//

11.

Later that day, I sat down on my bed, it was still pouring but I liked it this way, it did match my mood right now because dad wasn't picking up the phone and neither was mom, that made me worried about them more than I already was. I kept on dialing their numbers while eating a bag of chips with a movie playing on my laptop, the faint sound of the water droplets hitting the window was all that could be heard apart from the characters on the movie.

It was too much for me, the day kept on getting boring after every passing second as I let out a sigh. Not knowing what to do now because the movie turned out to be more boring than expected and I can't believe I wasted 2 precious hours of my life in watching that crap.

Just then I saw my mobile blink, picking it up I saw a text message from Jade, my aunt, my eyebrows furrowed since we never really talked that much after I moved to South Korea.

But whatever crap it said was enough to make my heart fall down into a deep pit of darkness, this was impossible, this wasn't real, she was lying wasn't she? She must be lying, I always knew she hated my mom and dad but this was too much. Maybe it was just a prank, but why would she do something like this to me.

"Your mother signed the divorce papers." It read, I felt my mouth go dry, and my palms get sweaty all of a sudden, if it really was true, then it depended on dad to sign them or not. I don't get why my mom wants divorce so bad when some months earlier she was so madly in love with him, just because he cheated on her this one time, she is taking such a big step, she should have just talked it out, heard my dad but no, she has to act all selfish, why?

I felt tears threatening to escape from my eyes but I held them back, the walls around me, suffocating me after every passing minute and I decided to leave my apartment to go to the only place where I could finally breathe, the park.

I was soaking by now but I didn't care, as I quietly entered inside to see rain water everywhere, from the ground to the rides that were half broken and rusty. I looked around, trying to take in everything about this place, just to divert my attention away from the divorce papers, that were bound to destroy my life somehow.

I quietly sat down on my rock, the tears never seemed to stop escaping from my eyes and it hurts to know how much I loved my parents and what they did to me, never once did they think of me, although they knew that a divorce always effects the child, they were too blinded by their own lives to even notice me breaking apart just because of them.

I understood my mother's feelings but that didn't mean that I supported her in all of this, I understood my father too somehow. Gosh this all was a little too much for me to handle at once. And to be honest, I felt like breaking down any moment now, I was too close to having a panic attack and I did not want that right now.

I felt my ring tone of my recent favorite song blare loudly from my jeans pocket and I quickly took it out after getting scared to death by it, as I wiped away my tears and took in a deep breathe to calm myself down a little. But looking at the caller ID made me more furious, sad or whatever emotion I was going through right now. How dare she call me now after finishing off everything without even asking or at least telling me.

I accepted the call, making me realize how sweaty my shaking hands were, and I took in a sharp breathe after hearing her voice, so weak and rough, she always sounded so chirpy and sweet whenever I called her and hearing this tone made me cry even more.

"Audrey, I'm so sorry my child." She whispered, her voice breaking, indicating how she was crying too. But it was too late to apologize now, a sorry wouldn't turn everything the way it was before.

"Why mom? Why did you do this? How could y-" I started but wasn't able to speak anything more, my voice breaking away in the midst of my falling tears, all the energy drained out of me as if I was just a mere structure of a human right now, heck, I didn't even feel like I was a human. All I felt was numbness, all over my body, a weird kind of numbness where I did feel like my heart was beating all right, probably a little faster than usual but I felt like it was all dark around it, as if it was in a deep pit of darkness, and I wasn't able to find the light even though I was searching tirelessly for it but every single time, I seemed to be failing.

"I-I had to, he cheated on me Audrey, he never loved me." She whispered, her voice shaking, as a shiver ran down my spine at what she said. How can she be so sure he never loved her? Maybe she never loved him enough to see his affection, but I saw the look in his eyes whenever he looked at mom, if that wasn't love then I guess love doesn't exist.

"Are you sure mom? Because I oppose to this." I spoke, narrowing my eyes as a new spark of anger ignited inside me.

"Yes he never did, he cheated on me Audrey can't you see that?"

"Did you talk to him about this? Did you even once confront him? No, you never did, then how can you make these types of statements? I thought you knew dad more than me, because as much as I know him, he would never do such a thing." By now my heart beating a hundred times faster, although I tried my best to calm myself down but it was all in vain.

She didn't say a single word, the other end was silent for a long time before she spoke lowly, "I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry Audrey." And after that, the call ended, and all I could hear was the beep that I always used to be sad to hear after talking to my parents, but right now I was thankful, happy to not face it again.

I wanted to throw off my mobile but it was too precious and they were not worth it.

What the hell was happening to me, to my own life, it was turning upside down right before me and I was unable to do anything to save it. What if dad really signs those papers, it would be a problem for them and for me too, I will be dragged into this unwillingly and I have no intention to be dragged into the court and stuff. Heck I don't even want to pay for their mistakes.

I never realized that I was crying until I felt a hand on my shoulder, I quickly wiped off my tears and looked beside me to see Taehyung sitting there with his hand on my shoulder, a look of concern etched on his face. For a whole minute I didn't know what was going on or what I was supposed to do right now as I stared back at him, completely surprised by his actions all over again.

"You're crying." He spoke, his deep voice softer than usual.

"Wow thank you for informing me, I never knew I was until you told me!" I wanted to say but stopped, instead never replied. I didn't feel like saying anything because I knew that if I open my mouth to speak, I would have a break down and cry my eyes out and I didn't want that right now.

"Your parents are splitting up, I don't know how that feels like since my parents are never with me but, It'll all be fine in the end, you shouldn't worry about it." He spoke, as he turned around so that his side was facing me as he stared ahead of him, with a sad smile on his face.

"It won't be, I love my parents a lot and I just can't believe this is happening, they loved each other and this is just so-" I started, as the tears started streaming down again and my voice cracked.

"You're crying again, please don't. You look ugly when you cry." He spoke while looking at me with the bored expression that suited him better than any other look, that concerned expression looked surreal on him.

I wiped away my tears but more seemed to come. And that's when I heard him sigh as I felt hands wrap around me. He hugged me, Kim Taehyung was hugging me. Am I dreaming or am I dreaming? It took me a minute to recover from this shock but I was too caught up with my own problems and I hugged him back, letting out all the tears I wanted to hold in.
