Taehyung's face is buried in his pillow, so his sobs and screams of anger get muffled. His hands are pressed against his ears, almost as if he were trying to smash his own skull. He just does not want to hear his parents. But they are too loud.
His father is yelling at Mrs Kim, and he hears him threaten, insult, and he hears her mother is cry, plead. It has been the same thing for the past week. Taehyung just cannot take it anymore. He feels at the same time angry at his mother and scared of his father. How could their apparently perfect life turn this bad?
Taehyung sniffles loudly and looks at his phone. Apart from Jimin's multiple texts, asking if he is doing alright, there's one from Instagram. He wipes his nose and ignores his best friend, opening the social media app.

Taehyung shoves his phone into his pocket and grabs his school bag, taking random clothes and personal stuff to put inside. He looks at his Play Station for a minute but finally makes a move to open his bedroom door.
His parents are still fighting in the living-room, but this time, Taehyung can hear his name in the argument.
"You're not thinking about Taehyung," Mr Kim is yelling. "To him, it must be like you chose his friend over him. Did you even wonder how much he must be hurting because of you?"
Taehyung closes his eyes for a second, breathes in, and opens the front door to get out. And he plans on never coming back to that place.
