Taehyung's POV
"Taehyung, could you come down please?" My dad called from the bottom of the stairs. I began making my way down the stairs, not forgetting to close the door just in case dad snoops around in there again. It was a starry night and 12:00 was definitely the best time to watch the shooting stars. Alone. I entered the kitchen waving at my dad and step-mother and sat on the table. My two younger half siblings were already there- Yuri and Jala. "Hi" I whispered and looked down. "Hey Tae, dad made ramen" Jala said, stating the obvious. This was the seventh time we've had ramen for dinner now in a row and I was starting to get bored of it. Yes, a whole week. However, it was the only food we had right now and I can't complain, that would be selfish. I'm just grateful there's enough food for all five of us.

7:39pm
"Tae, aren't you going to eat?" asked my step-mother her face full of anxiety. "Is the food not nice? I can make something else if that's what you want dear". "N-no it's fine" I whispered once again. Picking up my fork I began playing with my food. It's not like the food wasn't nice or anything, it was just that I didn't feel like eating- not after another day at BigHit high.
(I couldn't think of anything else lol 😂)
You see, I'm actually the school freak. So I guess I'm not meant to be treated the same. In other words, I'm bullied. This has been going on for the past 2 years now so I'm pretty used to it. The snarky comments, the beating up, the harsh words and the spitting on my face part(ew) is all just a part of my life. It's a part of me. All because I'm gay. My parents don't know and I'm glad, I don't want anyone worrying about me, especially my little sisters. I love them with all my heart even though I don't talk that much. I'm always there watching out for them. Just in case something happens.
"I c-cant I'm sorry" I said leaving the room. Now just isn't the time. I open my room door and lock it. The stars are out but I'm waiting for the right time. I set my alarm for 11:58 pm and drift of to sleep.

Taehyung's stepmother POV
So once again I'm left feeling worried for my step-son. I know he's starving himself, I'm not thick. My husband on the other hand is too consumed in his work to even realise his own son is not eating food. I don't blame him through, we've been a little short on money but we'll manage. My husband is a trainee architect so that brings in enough money to put food on our plates.

"I'm just going to check on Taehyung Junnie" I shout to my husband holding the railing on the stairs. No answer. I guess he's working. I step up the stairs quietly because the girls are asleep (I think) and head to Taehyung's room. I knock on the door twice. "Taetae?" I whisper softly enough to allow him to hear me. I knock again. No answer. This time I try to open the door. It's locked. 'Of course' I think to myself chuckling. How could I forget- Taehyung never leaves his door unlocked. He's probably sleeping. I'll let him be.

Taehyung's POV
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-
I slam the off button on my alarm and groan. My eyes are heavy and itchy. I look in the mirror and see my reflection.

Ugly. (Lies(_))
The one word that crosses my mind. I look into my own eyes and all I see is red. Oh great, I cried myself to sleep. I go to reach for some tissues when I remember- the stars. I smile to myself and go to the windowsill. I open the curtain and the windows and check my phone for the time. 11:59. 11:49. 11:39. 11:29. 11:19. 11:09. "What the fuck?!" The curtain begin to fly around and rip off from the window. Where the fuck is this wind coming from?! Everything in my room begins to fly around. My notepad with all my notes fly out of the window. "NOO!" I scream hoping somebody would help me. The wallpaper begins to rip of the walls until it's bare. Everything is flying round and round like a fucking tornado. "HELP ME!" I catch one glance out of my window and see a boy around the same age as me with a shocked expression on his face like he's seen somebody been shot. 'Oh shit'. I know that boy.

Jeon Jungkook.
