taehyung
koo. seriously.
just talk to me please.

jeongguk
hyung. i said i'm fine!
stop talking about this
please. i just got grounded
for staying out too long.

as usual. it's something
stupid. please. drop. it.

taehyung
of course i won't!
koo, come on.
i care about you.

jeongguk
no. you're just forced
to stay with me. or else
your parents will cut
you off. my father has
been paying your parents
for years to be your friend.

you think i don't know about
the deal?

yes, i care about you as well.
you're my best friend.
but it's not because you want
to. so i'm not going to discuss
my feelings with you just so you
can report everything to my father.

you're just stuck with me.

that's the deal.

now please. just leave me be
for a while. i'm sorry.

jeongguk
i fucked up again.
i hurt someone i care about
because i was angry with someone
else. now he's mad at me.

he's my only friend.

the only person who gives
a crap about me and i keep on
hurting him. every time.

because i fucking let my anger
take the best of me.

anonymous
sorry i'm still
processing how you
texted me first this time.

koo, calm down.

it's okay. take deep breaths.

just talk to him.

if you really believe this friend
cares about you that much, then
he'll absolutely forgive you.

i bet he's dying to talk to you
and hug you right this second.

just calm down, everything will
be okay. i promise you.

i'm just glad you decided to talk to
me :3
it means a lot to me!

jeongguk
it's easier to talk about
these stuff, my emotions. with
someone who you don't know.

that's why some people
love internet friends so much.

it's easier to talk about these
stuff when you don't know the
person. someone who can't judge
you no matter what.

thank you.

anonymous
you're welcome koo.
you're welcome to vent
whenever you want!

now go try to sleep
and talk to your friend
tomorrow.

good luck! and nighty <3

jeongguk found himself smiling at the silly emoticons. he took a deep breath, feeling a little relieved after talking to him.

jeongguk
goodnight.

jeongguk turned off his phone before looking up at the ceiling. 'things will be fine with taehyung. i'm sure of it' he whispered to himself and let himself succumb to slumber.

he will talk to taehyung tomorrow. hopefully the stranger will be right.
