4. How worst it can get?
Taehyung's morning started with the loud noises banging his ears, coming down from the hallway. He woke up getting irked and went downstairs to analyze what was happening.
The sight of his Mom and Dad hits him who were having a heated argument, mouths spatting right at each other's face.
"Enough!"
"Both of you shut up now!" He yelled out of distress as the tension in the air thickened. The formers both fell silent, staring at him in surprise.
Taehyung left for the college, slamming the main door with a 'bang' that clearly showed how frustrated he was as his morning got ruined because of them...once again. He didn't even eat breakfast.
His mood was already off. He hadn't covered much distance when he stopped in his tracks as something reminded him.
"Oh shit! Did I pick up the Pen drive?" His tone was barely audible as he mumbled to himself, his hands engaged in rummaging his bag.
"Thank God! I took it." He heaved a deep sigh.
Everything happened in a blur of moments and before he could process anything, someone came sprinting and accidentally bumped into him, causing him to jerk off and the Pen drive that contained his Maths assignment flipped out of his palm. His failed attempt of flailing his hands couldn't help and the device drifted right into the river below as he hovered over the railing in disbelief.
The person who committed the mistake didn't even apologize. Taehyung shouted at him but to no avail because he had hitherto unseen from his vision.
Unfortunately, the first lecture was of the same subject that he wanted to avoid the most...Maths. The professor called out everyone's roll numbers one by one for submitting the assignment.
After hardly five minutes which felt a lot more shorter, Taehyung's turn came. He explained the whole incident to his professor.
"What are you talking about? I'm sure you haven't completed it on time that's why you are making excuses now. They're not gonna work on me this time!"
Taehyung again tried to illustrate to him that how much it took him to finish that after the effort of a whole freakin' month. But as if Taehyung's words weren't deciphering in the latter's mind, he totally refused to believe him and deducted his marks without even listening to his concern further. Instead, he told him that he could only get his marks back when he would do it all again and submits the assignment by tomorrow morning only.
Taehyung just felt blue in the face. Getting infuriated, he moved to his seat and smashed the book in his hand on the desk with a 'thump'.
"What happened? Why are you looking so down today?" Jungkook asked as worry was laced in his voice.
"Nothing! I-I... just don't want to talk about anything right now!" He replied with a colorless shine on his face which was usually smiling and brightened up.
"Alright hyung," Jungkook put his hand on the former's shoulder in assurance, understanding the seriousness of the situation.
Nothing normal resulted till then.
The heavens planned to pour heavily, of course when he forgot to bring his umbrella. He halted in his steps and looked back over his shoulder when a recognizable voice was heard in his ears.
"Taehyung!"
"Why aren't you listening? I've been calling you for so long." Moon's breath hitched in her throat as she had basically rush all over.
"And why didn't you come to Cafetaria today? Why aren't you picking up my calls? Where were you the whole day? and what happened in the maths class? Jungkook told me about it." She flooded him with all the questions— ironic for someone who was all huffing-puffing just a few seconds ago.
"Moon, please don't talk to me right now...I'm in a cranky mood." Taehyung calmly responded.
"But why?"
"What happened, Tae? Tell me, maybe I can help you out," Taehyung's stoic expression shifted a bit at his sudden nickname as she asked in a reassuring tone while squeezing his shoulder.
"No. I don't want to converse anything, just let me go!" It was an understatement to say he didn't sound rude as he nearly flicked off her hand from his shoulder.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting up like this? Why can't you tell me if we are best friends?!" Her voice came out hoarse as she now looked disappointed.
"Argh! Why are you forcing me again and again?"
"I told you that I'm not in a mood of having any kind of conversation currently!" He couldn't hold on anymore as he finally raised his voice.
"But why?!"
"I can't see you like this, it hurts me too! I thought we were best friends...I thought we both can share our concerns with each other without any hesitation at least." She yelped as tears started to pool in her now questioning eyes.
"Please for god sake, leave me alone!" Moon flinched as he screeched a little too exasperatedly.
"Okay, fine! At least take this with you. It's raining so much, you'll catch a cold," She placed the umbrella above his head as cold raindrops clattered against its cloth.
"Why are you bothering me? Just let me go!" He shouted, flipping the umbrella in her hands due to which it levitated in the air before falling down to the ground, exposing both himself and her to the drizzle, and left from there leaving her all alone. The tears previously formed in her eyes were now freely cascading down her cheeks.
Taehyung arrived home all drenched, water dripping down from his clothes. As soon as he opened the door, his Mom and Dad were already quarreling with each other, having some stupid war of words yet again.
But this time he was too drained to stop them or to argue with them so he better chose to ignore them and headed to his room.
"What's up with you?" His dad stopped him as he turned back.
"How are your studies going?"
"Are you studying well?"
Instead, Taehyung sighed and began to walk again, completely disregarding him.
"Taehyung! Why aren't you answering me? You know you have to study hard, success isn't something that grows on trees."
"Please don't start it again. I've already told you infinite times,"
"I want to become a Pro-gamer, not a damn businessman!"
"You punk! You are always busy playing games and spends your whole day sitting on the computer table. What will you achieve from becoming just a 'Gamer'? How much will you earn from it?"
"It's just of... no use." His dad scoffed loudly.
"What are you even saying about?... In fact, I should ask both of you, what's going on with you two? Why are you two bickering all the time? It literally gives me a nuisance. Both of you are nothing but disgusting!" Taehyung spoke in monotone as if it released right through his heart, his eyes burning with anger.
"Taehyung, mind your own language!" His dad lashed, his brows raised as he did so.
"Argh!" Taehyung's irritated self went up to his room and slammed the door behind. He threw his bag on the bed then began to throw all the things here and there madly.
He was fed up with those daily quarrels. He was fed up with those nonsense advices. He was fed up being told what to do or what not. He was fed up with his life. He just wanted to run away to a peaceful place where there is silence, nothing else.
He hated his parents. He hated himself for disputing with Moon over nothing, even there was no mistake of her. She only tried to help him and he did what?...only made her cry.
He was feeling absolutely shattered. He dropped to his knees, holding his head within his palms that felt so heavy, and screamed his lungs out of frustration.
Instant confusion came when a booming sound of a huge thunderstorm rumbled in his ears, almost deafening him. Lightning blazed in the dark sky concealed by the storm clouds. All the lights went off.
Before he could figure out anything, his computer screen flashed and a beam of bright golden light struck him straight in his eyes. It was too strong that he wasn't able to open his eyes. So his eyes shut instinctively.
And when he opened his eyes, he was in a whole another world which he couldn't even imagine that something like 'that' could happen to him...
