jeongguk groaned, rolling over in his bed and grabbing his phone from the nightstand.
he forced one eye open and squinted as he unlocked the phone, he didn't care about his other notifications, quickly swiping them away until he got to a message from yoongi and replied.

"so much for my day off." he sighed heavily, tossing the phone back on the nightstand and laid back down.
jeongguk laid in bed for as long as he could before finally forcing himself to get up and take a shower.
he padded into the bathroom and stripped off his clothes before stepping into the water, sighing as the hot water poured over his body and forced him to relax.
after his shower he lazed around, randomly flipping through tv channels until he settled on some kdrama that had been playing lately. he missed a lot of the episodes so he didn't really know what was going on, but whatever.
oh.
wait.
shit, he had plans today, he wasn't supposed to be working.
cursing under his breath, jeongguk snatched up his phone and hit call, chewing on his bottom lip as he waited for taehyung to pick up.
"heyggukie!" taehyung greeted happily.
"um, hey tae..."
"... what's wrong?"
"uh.. well, someone called in sick so my boss wants me to work instead." jeongguk grimaced, he really hated having to cancel plans with taehyung, he missed his best friend.
it was silent for a few moments before taehyung spoke up, his happy tone dimming at the news of their canceled plans. "it's ok, we can just hangout another time."
"i'm really, really sorry, tae."
jeongguk scrubbed a hand over his face, he felt guilty and it was hard not to when they never really had time to hangout anymore.
after his dads passing from a car accident, his mother had then fallen ill, later passing away because she wasn't strong enough to fight it.
he managed to get accepted and start college, it was his dads dream for him and he wanted to fulfill that final wish, but he had to start working as a stripper during the night and at a café during the day just to pay his rent, tuition, and the medical expenses from his mothers treatment.
taehyung didn't know he was a stripper, he knew jeongguk had a hard time trying to pay everything but he didn't know what jeongguk had to do to get that money, and jeongguk never wanted him to find out.
"ggukie, its ok, i understand. i hope you have a good day at work, make sure you get some rest after, ok?"
jeongguk let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and slumped against the couch. "thanks, tae, i'll see you at school."
