3rd pov

it was another day, another day of a breakdown where somin would cry her heart out. there was so many reasons why she was crying, but she couldn't pinpoint it down to one.

talking with her therapist about her problems, it seems like to her, she just has to deal with it. however, her therapist mentioned a few words that would stick to her forever, depression' and 'anxiety'.

somin was lost and confuse. depression? anxiety? she couldn't have those, right?

oh but she does.

growing up with a close bond with her family, somin didn't have a problem growing up as she loved her childhood and wouldn't change it for anything.

until, her dad got remarried to her step-mum. oh how she knew what her step-mum was like behind those fake smiles and that annoying high pitch voice.

you see, somin didn't really get along well with her step-mum, she never had and she never will. her step-mil tortured her mentally and physically, so how could she love her abuser.

screaming and throwing words like, "worthless", "useless", "disgusting", "a mistake", and often "you're a girl, so you know nothing but clean and cook, your brother (step-brother) will always be smarter and more successful", at somin, mentally messing her up.

slapping, sticking a knife into her hand, forcing her to kneel down, facing a wall, all night long and not able to sleep, pinching till blood were drawn for fun out of hate. these we're all the things that somin went through, but she thought it was normal.

as somin cried and cried for hours on end, she finally manages to calm down and stare off into a wall, spacing out. her phone right next to her, played a ding, notifying her she got a notification from snapchat.

it was taehyung.

"hey, how's your day?"

"hi taehyung, it was alright, nothing much. just the usual school stuff haha. hbu?"

somin wanted to tell him, but she couldn't. she couldn't burden another person.

"yeah same, just the usual too. does your school host any excursions?"

"haha yeah, but my grade is practically banned though, for being such troublemakers."

"really? you must also be a troublemaker too, somin. haha"

"wow, you really think i'm a trouble maker? :(( that's mean"

"haha, i'm kidding. you seem like a nice genuine girl, my ideal type of girl ;)"

"why the winky face, ruined the mood :("

"wow, rude"

as they continued to talk, the sun slowing set and the moon became more clear. both of them were lost in the moment.

till taehyung needed to go to bed urgently.

"well, i need to go now. my mum might yell at me for staying up late again, haha. goodnight somin!"

"haha, alright. goodnight taehyung, sleep well :)"

and with that, somin broke down again. maybe today wasn't her today. but that's okay, there's always a tomorrow.
