Chapter 20

  Now:
Jimin's POV:

I don't know for how long I have been walking. The weather felt even more depressing now, than it already had been this morning. It wasn't raining, but a couple or raindrops would fall on my face every now and then.

There were more cars on the road now. Yet, I felt so fucking alone. I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I was in the middle of nowhere, with no cash and no idea about what was going to happen to me.

I stuffed my hands into my coat's pockets, and stopped dead in my tracks to take a breather. I was fucking exhausted. Exhausted from walking for so long, and exhausted from my life.

He fucking left me. That asshole actually left me. I wanted to scream and tear my hair off from my head, but I couldn't find the force to do so.

I had what, around fifty thousand crumpled up won that have been left forgotten in my jacket and nothing else.

Where the fuck was that going to get me? Where the fuck, was I going to go, anyway? There was nothing in sight. I had to maybe walk for another twenty minutes to even find a gas station or a rundown motel.

My feet hurt, I was starving and I hadn't even taken a shower since I had been woken up. Everything was just fucking perfect.

As I regained some of my strength back, I zoned out the few passing cars and the terrible weather. I don't know for how long I was walking, but I know that my feet hurt even more now.

As I got closer to the motel-that I didn't even notice when we were in the car-I knew why Taehyung had passed by it. It was one of those tacky, romance motels where mostly cheaters or sex workers would pass the nights.

Finding the receptionist was even harder than I thought it would be. The front desk was empty and I rang the tiny bell on the desk so much, I had the tiny 'ding' stuck in my head.

"Alright, I'm here. Don't go on a rampage.", she probably didn't want to be here as much I did.

"I only have this much with me.", I put the money gently on the table, as to not piss her off even more.

She glanced at the money, touching it only with the back of her hand, acting as if this place was worth much more. "This isn't even enough for one night."

"Aunty, please. I swear it's the only money I got. I've got no car, no phone, and I don't know what the hell I am going to do. I just-please.", it was quite pathetic really, I never would have thought that my life would play out like this, and yet here I am.

"There's a landline phone right there.", she nodded her head towards an even tackier red phone to match the environment created.

"I don't know who to call.", I couldn't call my brother, and I sure as hell wasn't going to call Taehyung. Fuck, just what the hell has become of my life?

She sighed, "Fine, I'll give you the cheapest room. But only for tonight."

"Thank you.", I bowed down.

"You hungry, boy? You look like you've had a rough couple of days.", I nodded, ashamed. I was fucking starving, and to say that I've had a rough couple of days, would be an understatement.

"I'll bring you something up, on the house."

The room was bright blue. From the king-sized bed, to the small table and even the wallpaper. Luckily there were no sex toys lying around, but at this point I wouldn't even care, as long as I got somewhere to sleep.

I wanted nothing but to take a long shower, yet as soon as I sat down on the bed, I couldn't help but sigh. I didn't know what I was going to do tomorrow, and I didn't want to think of it.

I just wanted to sleep and pretend that the past twenty-four hours had never happened, and that Taehyung and I were together.

A/N: yes i am alive and back again. Enjoy the angst.
