"Are you working, right now?" I text Tae out of boredom
"Sara, it's Monday and it's 11:00 am of course I'm working right now. Why tho?"
"Oh, okay it's fine. I'll text you later when you're done"
"Sure, sorry Sara I have a meeting to attend right now. Talk to you later, okay?"

Everyone seems to have their life going somewhere, either because they have a job, family, or just withdrawing their life from the crowd to heal themselves. And here I am, no job, no money, and, no friends to talk to at noon. You guys knew I quit my job, and I already graduated from grad school. It was a hell of a ride, I mean almost 70% of it was just stressing out and the rest was the real research. To be honest, I feel so grateful that Tae is keeping his words, he is always there for me, to the point that maybe I take his kindness for granted. Or maybe it's all just in my head and not really true, maybe it's because I only have myself now.
"What happened?" an 18.00 pm text from Tae suddenly pop up on my phone
"Nothing, I was just wanting to talk. So, how's work?"
"It's fine, but I feel so tired right now. Where are your usual cats' photos? I need it right now"
"Wait, you have to know that Mouse was making this face LOL" as I send the photo of my cat, Mouse, staring at me angrily.
"What happened to him? LOL Hey don't take his food away"
"LOL, no. And you have to see this one is so cute" I send him the picture of Mouse hugging my hand as he sleeps
"Awww he's cuddling you"
And the similar conversation is always going on and on for almost everyday. It's always about Tae is tired of working and I'm tired of searching for a new job.
When will this tiredness stop?
