After Jimin received a message from the Inner Thoughts chat, he was a bit creeped out.
He just couldn't believe anyone would start a conversation like that.
Jimin just assumed it was probably some gang or some spam thing to get his address, but as time went on and the only sound was the tick of his clock he realized how lonely he was. So he messaged the person and told them he wanted to end his life.
They didn't have a spectacular conversation that night, but it wasn't too bad either. It was better than Jimin sitting in his room alone, listening to the ticking while trying to banish the demons who so badly wanted to break Jimin farther and farther.
The boy was pulled out of his thoughts by the sudden drop of temperature and wrapped his shivering body in a blanket. Small air clouds were visible in front of the boy, but he didn't dare turn the heater on.
He was afraid that if he used too much money, his parents would come home and see what a disaster their son was with his slashed up body and patchy hair.
The clock seemed to continue ticking for what felt like hours before Jimin grabbed his phone.
A reflection of the boy stared at him in the small screen. Puffy eyes, runny nose, and hair that was missing clumps.
His throat seemed to tighten a bit, a clear sign he was ready to sob again.
"How did I get this w-way?"
The scratchy fabric of Jimin's sweater rubbed against his eyes as he tried to wipe away the oncoming tears.
He needed someone to talk to.
i'm aa mess
He sent it to the only person he could talk to.
Daddy
Most people would start
a conversation with a simple hello.
Jimin didn't set the strangers name as Daddy because he believed it would satisfy this person's fetish. He just thought it would be funny, and he rarely found things funny anymore.

Daddy
