"Who are you talking to?"

I could feel my face turning white and my hands getting sweaty. I would never be able to live with myself if anyone at school found out that i talk to a guy I met on omegle.

"Oh it's just a friend of mine" I said with the fakest smile I could muster.

"Oh cool"

"So how about we call it a day and do the finish ups by ourselves?" I asked trying to get him to leave before any of my parents got home.

My parents were the overly protective and conservative type of people.  They were basically a teenagers nightmare. They honestly made me want to go to the furthest college I could find after I graduate this year.

"You sure?" Kangjoon said looking a bit sad actually? Am I seeing this right?

"Yeah" I said helping him pack his stuff. "I had fun today" he said getting up from the couch.

"Me too" I smiled as I got up to walk him to the door.

"Okay, see you at school" he said giving me his signature smile before getting out the door and closing it behind him.

About 4 hours later I heard footsteps downstairs. They sounded like heels, that means that my mum must've gotten back from her trip. Sadly, I didn't care much that she was back and didn't really want to go down to say hi but I still went down to greet her so she wouldn't come up to my room later and scold me for not doing so.

I got up and went downstairs to see her, she was setting her bags and she honestly looked bad. Her hair was a bit messy and her make up was a little smudged. I would ask her if she was okay but she'd just dismiss me if i did anyway.

"Hey honey, were you good while I was gone?"

"Yup"

"Good, where's your dad?"

Should I tell her about him being late? Or should I just lie to her and try to cover up for my dad? I mean I could be jumping to conclusions and it could just be a work thing. If that was the case then I would get into so much trouble and awkward lectures because I lied to mum and didn't trust dad.

"He's not back yet" I could immediately tell that I made the wrong choice because my mothers smile instantly fell as these four words left my mouth.

"Is this the first time that he's been late since I left for work?"

I stayed silent. I didn't want to cause any trouble.

"ANSWER ME PARK YURA" she yelled taking me off guard.

"You're grounded go to your room"

I went upstairs muttering some serious curse words. I know she must be hurt but still it was always like this and over the silliest things too. She gets mad and I get grounded. Its just how things work in this goddamn house.

I went upstairs to my bedroom and laid on my bed, feeling like shit. At times like this I just want a hug or someone to talk to but of course jungkook would be busy with training and my parents are the reason for my misery most of the time. So, I literally have no one.

Maybe. Just maybe, I could talk to taehyung? I'll never know unless I try right?

I looked at my bedside table and stared at my phone. I was feeling really sad and just wanted a friend. Was that too much to ask?

I rolled my eyes, getting frustrated at myself for thinking too much about sending a textーand so I reached out for my phone and clicked on taehyungs icon. Here goes nothing,

yurangel: heyyy

cantbetaemed: did you just text me first :0

yurangel: yeah so?

cantbetaemed: u never text me first lol

cantbetaemd: its good that u talked tho

yurangel: why?

cantbetaemed: I needed someone to rant to about my mum

Could we be going through the same thing? What type of cliche is this?

yurangel: why?

cantbetaemed: I feel like she doesn't care about me yk

yurangel: why is that?

cantbetaemed: today I found a costume shop that sold fake blood

cantbetaemd: so like any person would do I bought it and decided to pretend that I was shot and prank my mum

cantbetaemed: it was so realistic that a woman almost fainted seeing me walk down the street

cantbetaemed: and yk what my mum said when she first saw me

cantbetaemed: my beautiful carpet, I just cleaned it today

yurangel: damn you really are weird

Of course we weren't going through the same thing. How can me and this dumbass actually have something in common.

cantbetaemed: anyway

cantbetaemed: what did u want to talk about?

yurangel: who said i wanted to talk about anything?

cantbetaemed: you're the one who texted me first, remember?

yurangel: well i was bored and i had nothing better to do

cantbetaemed: ok i get it now

cantbetaemed: you missed daddy didn't you?

Okay but why did this make my heart flutter?ーI blinked a few times not knowing how to respond to this. Whatever 'this' was.

yurangel: k

cantbetaemed: don't k me

yurangel: wtf u k me all the time

cantbetaemed: u gotta point

cantbetaemed: but i am ur daddy tho

yurangel: u do know that ur not my actual father, right?

cantbetaemed: the guy u call dad must be shook

yurangel: im-

cantbetaemed: lmao jk

cantbetaemed: or maybe im not

yurangel: ??

cantbetaemed: I am your father *darth vader voice*

yurangel: yeah ok imma leave now

cantbetaemed: nuuu wait )):

cantbetaemd: call me daddy first

yurangel: no

cantbetaemed: i didn't call u baby girl today !!

cantbetaemed: we had a deal :(((

yurangel: i said i'd call u daddy sometimes not every time

yurangel: i choose the time btw :)

cantbetaemed: this is so unfair

yurangel: life's unfair

yurangel: bye daddy

cantbetaemed: !!!!

I locked my phone right after he responded. I had a smile plastered on my face and it actually kinda hurt. Why was I feeling like this? He's supposed to be the pervert I met on omegle, a whiny dude that I 'disliked' not the guy who just made me smile.

I got up to get ready for bed with thoughts about taehyung filling my head like 'is he really the guy in his profile picture?' 'whats he like in real life?' but the sound of a door slamming stopped me.

I heard really heavy foot steps going up the stairs and they almost sent chills down my spine.

My bedroom door slammed open, revealing my dad looking angrier than I have ever seen him before. He was fuming right now and he scared me shitless because he hasn't looked this angry in years now.

"This is all because of you"

"What are you doing here, I told you to leave" My mum said rushing in and grabbing my dad's arm.

I thought he was going to beat me for a moment there. The way he looked at me was was a way I've only seen him give to people before he did something bad to them. It seemed like hatredーalmost like he despised me.

"Jaehee, it's her fault!" He yelled pointing towards my direction.

"She wasn't the one who cheated on me" my mum yelled with tears streaming down her face.

"You're drunk, go find a motel or something to sleep in" my mum continued giving my dad the cold look, something she'd never given him before.

She pulled my dad away and led him downstairs to the front door. He kept yelling and shouting and then just like that she slammed the door shut after she kicked him out.

A few moments passed before my mum came back up to my room. In real mother/daughter relationships, the mother would go in explain the situation, tell her daughter how she's feeling and then we'd comfort each other and make this a touching moment in our relationship. What my mum said though was a simple "Goodnight" followed by her closing my bedroom door.

I sighed and went to sleep knowing that this is just how things have always been with her and how they'll always be.
