Track 16: I'm so tired

Picture of Taehyung's mother above.
Chapter's song: I'm so tired- Lauv ft Troye Sivan
TAEHYUNG'S P.O.V:

"What happened out there? Jungkook. I'm really disappointed. You've never been in my office before and you're one of the best students with a scholarship. What was it all about, huh? Look at you two, all beaten up like you're in gangs not in a bloody school!" Mr. Lee snapped his forehead wrinkling. I wanted to explain but he kept shouting with his face turning red as he paced back and forth.

"This asshole happened."Jungkook snapped glarig sideways.

"You -."

"Language you two!" Mr. Lee snapped raising his hands to cover his ears. "Why did I ever think being a principle would be easy again?" he spoke more to himself and we both shrugged.

He stopped pacing turning to us with a deathly glare his mouth in a thin line. "I don't tolerate fighting under the school's premises. Kim Taehyung you made it through to the auditions so this consider this as your last warning and I can get you out of it. I swear I would. Even your mother being on the school's board won't stop me!" he gestured with his finger pointed at me. Everyone at the school board threatened me with my mother. I sighed running a hand through my hair.

"You two will have to do school work and cleaning of the stadiums for the next two weeks and I hope I won't see you in my office again- although this might be hard in your case Kim Taehyung. You're both dismissed from attending classes today and I'll have to call your parents to inform them." He gestured to the door and we both got up from and made our way to the hallway.

"I don't ever want to see you near my sister again.Ever." He threatened when we were out managing to brush his shoulder angrily against mine before turning a corner. I sighed heavily cursing under my breath and made my way to my car.

I didn't wanna start a fight with him considering we were friends but he just misunderstood everything. It's not like we fell over each other on purpose or that I'm happy that the whole school are talking about us. I wouldn't allow anyone to talk to her like that-not even her brother.
I know that the person behind this picture wanted to ruin our reputation at school and there's only one person I could think of at this moment.
I know for a fact that the person I call mom will as usual lecture me about how immature I am and that I always get into trouble and ruin her reputation among her employees.

I directly went upstairs to my room falling face first on my bed just trying to zone out of everything around me right now.
I sighed in relief when I felt the soft quilt against my skin. I only realised I dozed off  when I heard a knock on my door.
I groaned and rubbed my eyes trying realizing it's dark outside.

How many hours have I slept?

"Come in."

"Mr. Kim, your mother and brother are waiting for you for dinner." Mrs. linda spoke soflty. I grumbled an 'I'll be there'.

I realized I was still wearing my school uniform so I changed into comfy grey sweat pants with a long white t-shirt  then washed my face and fixed my messy hair to freshen up.

I entered the dining room then stopped midways when I couldn't endure the sharp wincing pain in my back.
After taking a sharp intake of breath and managing to regain my strength, I continued my way to find the usual setting I see every day with my mom sitting at the base of the table wearing expensive clothes while eating her usual Cesar salad but today she seemed a bit off than usual and guess the answer is me.

Sometimes I wonder when was the last time I saw her. My brother sat at her right wearing his eyeglasses and looking extremely tired. It's not like they talk about anything other than business except for my brother who always asks about my day.
Finally there's Mrs. Linda, the person I consider my second mom because she's always been there for me when my real mom wasn't and that says something.
