Taehyung quietly groaned as his alarm went off, The loud noise ringing through his ears irritatingly. The male throws his blue blanket off of his body and gets out of bed and decides he should take a shower. He doesn't smell bad but he doesn't smell great either, he doesn't want others to be able to smell him then judge him about it, he does this a lot, always checking how he smells, looks, even sounds, too scared to risk being judged by others if they noticed something off about him. Even though other peopls don't get to know him enough to tell if certain things aren't normal.
He quickly shuffles into his cluttered bathroom, which has a bunch of skincare and makeup products. He starts to get undressed, tossing his dirty clothes that he fell asleep in onto the cold tiled floor. Then he quickly turned on the shower and got in, sighing in content at the feeling of hot water on his shoulders, a few minutes later he heard his alarm clock going off again in the other room. The alarm that told him he should leave at this time so he's not late for his classes, he cursed softly under his breath and quickly finished cleaning himself thoroughly. He hopped out of the shower after turning the water off and ran out of his bathroom in a hurry, blue towel that he set out a few days ago long forgotten as said male runs to his closet.
Taehyung slips on a pair of grey boxers and opens his closet doors, stress levels starting to rise every second as he searches for something to wear, finally pulling out his favorite black hoodie with a small white flower on the front, it's not too distracting and it keeps him hidden well enough, he throws on a pair of random pants he found his small drawer and quickly put on his shoes and socks, hoping people wouldn't notice that they're mismatched and ugly. He grabbed his backpack and phone, then scurried out of his apartment in a rush, trying to run as fast as he could resulting in him hitting people and making him overthink the situation.
When he's about to turn a corner to get to his bus stop he hears a loud meow behind him, his feet automatically stop and he turns around to see a cat standing in the alleyway searching for food, he rushes to the small creature and kneels down to pet it, letting the animal sniff his hand before caressing it's soft fur, he smiles subconsciously and grabs his boring grey bag that rested on his shoulders, reaching in and finding an old granola bar that he packed in a rush hoping he'd get a chance to eat it, he never did, he doesn't eat too often, telling his brain he's too busy and he needs to do something else, just like this cat who searches the streets for any source of food, he splits the granola bar into pieces and gives them to the animal, watching it eat every last crumb before petting it one more time and saying goodbye, the cat meows in response and runs out of the alleyway.
