The next day, Taehyung didn't go to school. He told his mum that he is feeling sick and that he can't move properly.

Taehyung didn't want to go to school the next day after, either. He has been laying in his bed without any movement. He didn't even eat for two days.

The third day came by, but Taehyung's mother dragged him out of the bed and forced him to go to school. Yet, he didn't feel better.

Physically he was okay, but mentally he wasn't.

During the break, Taehyung meet Hoseok by his locker. Taehyung ignored Hoseok and was about to leave when he shouted his name.

He still ignored Hoseok, even when he deeply wanted to turn around. The boy grabbed Taehyung by his wrist and turned him around.

"What happened to you? You look so pale."

"I was feeling sick, but my mother told me to get back to school." Taehyung smiled but yet it was a weak one.

"Did you eat anything at home?"

"I nearly ate the whole fridge." Lies. Taehyung laughed which made Hoseok laugh as well. Taehyung looked at the time to notice he had five minutes left until the end of the break.

"Hey, I, um, have to go." Taehyung swung his bag over his shoulder and smiled softly. "Okay, fine," Hoseok said and waved.

Taehyung walked towards the toilets, soon as he turned around the corner. He encountered Jin, again.

"Look it's the gay guy! Where's your cuddly boyfriend, huh?" Everyone in that hallway started laughing, except for Taehyung.

He started running through the crowd towards the toilets. "Hey! Don't disrespect me like that!" Taehyung didn't hear what he said due to his inner voice attacking him.

Finally, he reached the toilet. He shut the door and walked over to the sink. Taehyung looked at his reflection. "Look how ugly you're."

"No wonder, why he hates you. Have you seen yourself."

"Watch when Hoseok is going to start hating you too."

Those voices couldn't shut up. Taehyung took a metallic case out of his bag, opened it. Revealing two sharp blades. Without second thought one of the blades sharply cut through Taehyung's skin.

There was pain, but this was just piece of cake according to the pain he has felt before. Taehyung thought that depression is going to disappear, but he was wrong.

It became worse.

Taehyung dropped the metallic case and started crying. The quiet tears turned into sobs. He didn't care about anything else anymore, not even Hoseok.

Taehyung was now on the floor sobbing his head out. The boy kept crying until somebody touched his shoulder.

Taehyung looked up to see someone familiar.

"Taehyung?"
