Monday, 1:22pm

It was Thursday that day when I texted Seokjin, it was only the beginning of the beginning...

- = ғʙ = -

The flashback caused my chest to feel heavy; empty even. Regularly, I would grab the cigarettes and think about what I could've done to help the situation from happening but something distracted me from doing so. That something was Seokjin's invitation.

Maybe it'll be better if I go? Maybe it'll prevent me to be stuck inside of this gloomy house. They were all maybes, but I should at least try, no?

With the knowledge of my tantrum I took a couple days ago, I met myself with a pile of dirty clothing- digging out a cracked phone from underneath.

Fucking fantastic.

Somehow, the phone in my hand was still able to turn on. Though, seeing the screen was incredibly hard from all the visible cracks- I was still able to make out what the picture was on screen. The lock screen of my Hoseok smiling took up half of the device. His red hair, gorgeous smile, and silly pose, only caused another sharp pain in my heart to be formed.

I inhaled- deeply. Trying my all to keep calm and not break.

It was still incredibly hard to see, I admit, but somehow I was able to unlock the phone and open the messaging app- scrolling through all the contacts (all 9 of them) and starting a conversation with Seokjin.

I started to type...

'seokjin hyung?'

The message was sent. Now all I had to do was to wait for h-

'Yoongi! I am so glad you messaged me! Is this about the get together I'm hosting for all of us?'

I blinked in disbelief. How could he write- or type- so fast? Jesus, was he waiting for me to message him this whole time or something? I shrugged it off, all I needed was to tell him I'm going to wherever he wants me to go.

'yeah where is it at?'

...

'Fantastic question! But you really have no need to know :). My generous and humble taxi driver will come pick you up tomorrow to drop you off the destination.'

...

'hold up- its tommorow?'

...

'Right- I completely got carried away with the excitement that I didn't put the date on the card, :( my apologies! But yes, it'll start tommorow. It'll take up Friday through the morning of Monday, I'm very happy to have you come!'

...

'See you tomorrow, Yoongi. It'll be fun, I promise you!'

...

'ok see you tomorrow then'

...

'bye'

Turning off the cracked screen, I sighed. So, the 'get together' starts tomorrow and ends on Monday morning. Understandable- kind of.

It didn't really bother me as much. I just needed to get ready and I'll be set, so that is exactly what I did. Grabbing a book bag on the floor, I stuffed anything I could in it so I could survive these couple of days. A small chuckle filled up the room, "Survive- I'm not going to die or anything, relax."

I couldn't blame myself. I was entering blindly.
