pacman [DAY6 JAE]

-seven-

"don't hurt me, leave me
no i don't mean that
love me all the way to death"

it was the next morning and jae had just gotten out of the shower. he was about to start off his day by succumbing to the lifestyle she wanted for him.
he sat in front of the mirror to do a basic skin care routine. one that she taught him.
"it's necessary, jae. if you're going to be beside me, you need to look presentable."
those were her exact words and he had no say.

he was laying in bed when he realized eaj didn't show up all through his skin care routine.
"you said you'd be here if i called," he grumbled as he tossed his stress ball in the air. "...psshh not that i care." he was too distracted to grab it as it came back down. it hit him in the eye.
ow.
he placed a palm over it.
that's what he got for lying, something annoying eaj would've probably said if he was there.
jae promised himself he won't sound too desperate for eaj but at this point he felt so restless he hadn't seen him all day.
"i don't need you. i hope you hear that."
ugh he didn't even sound convincing to himself. he just sounded more sour about eaj's absence.
he began to throw a fit. he wiggled his entire body out of discomfort and rolled off his bed, striking his arm on the legs of the bed.
ow. again.
"it hurts!" he cried in a loud voice. "do i really have to beg you to come here.. alright please?? i miss you..."
his voice trailed off when he realized he just acknowledged what he felt.
it was silent for a while.

he looked at his watch and saw an incoming call from her. sigh.
he also hadn't responded to her message from the previous night.
