seriously?

bad joke

hey hey!

 

i am not mad i was like 50% sure

it was a joke

 

dont worry dude!

 

was just busy for a moment

 

have been a while since i

visited my cousin

 

its his dog actually

 

oh

 

but!

 

you have to make up to

me for that!

 

i want your name

 

and how do I know that you

aren't some creepy old dude?

 

yo sorry for disappearing again

 

it really had been a while since

I visited my aunt and uncle you know

 

had a lot of catching up to do with

my favourite cousin

 

he's a really cute kid

 

barely 7 year old

 

and honestly you really had to ask

that?

 

dude I am just 17

img

wait hold on

 

are YOU the creepy old man? shit

i told you my full name and sent you

my picture

 

please don't murder me

 


 

 

dude with the dog

1 apr

has

has anyone ever told you

about stranger danger

and thinking before you do

stuff

and hello to you too

if it's any consolation I don't

have enough energy to

murder you

 

my soul has been sapped

away by the subject that deals

with life

 

the irony

 

why are you awake

couldn't sleep

 

staying over at cousin’s place

always had trouble sleeping in

new places unless I have someone

to cuddle to

 

and this pillow is not meeting my

cuddle requirements

 

at least you're not awake

because of homework from

hell

also did you indirectly acknowledge

you're a creepy old man

so many years and all I know is

that mitochondria is the power

house of the cell

 

???? wait what?

“don't have enough energy to

murder” implies that yes you

are a creep, just not in the mood

to murder

 

*illuminati theme*

 

THAT THEME DOESN'T

EVEN GO HERE

you also didnt tell me your

name yet

 

I can't believe you

Jimin

hello police I know a pedo

called Jimin thanks

why would an oldie be doing

homework you idiot

 

i don't suppose you are good

at biology

…best subject actually

 

and you can't sleep?

yeah thats what i said

 

o great one

light of my life

sure

my beloved

help

Jimin I already agreed XD

that was quick

its not like i have anything

else to do anyway

 

and i love that subject

 

well not homework but the

subject is p interesting

I HATE SCIENCE

come on learning is good

 

the homework and tests ugh

 

I could do without that

amen

 

but I still hate science

 

you're the first person my age

whom i have heard say learning

is good are you sure you're not

old

please

 

can we drop that joke my poor

youthful heart weeps

 

tragic

my older brother is a genius

okay?

and most of my early

memories of him are basically

him reading something or

the other and he looked

so happy doing that

 

that learning always seemed

like such a wonderful thing??

oh you're actually answering

I was confused where the sudden

bro came from

I used to wonder how he could

enjoy that so much

 

and i guess knowing new

things is fun there's seriously

so much out there and science is so

goddamn fascinating

 

you're so passionate about this

 

omg sorry for rambling

really next time i go and on

about something just stop

me

why????

 

i like hearing people when they're

passionate about something

thats exactly what my brother

says too 

Taehyung

 

i am your father brother

 

but honestly

 

your brother sounds really

cool

he is!! Namjoon hyung is the

best bro to ever bro

 

he seems tough but is actually

really clumsy and soft and sweet

 

and he's super smart

 

very into philosophy

 

like remember the passionate thing?

your brother seems

wonderful seriously

he said something about how rather

than asking what someone's favourite

thing or hobby or color is it's so much

more fun to know what makes their

heart BEAT, what sustains them through

the hard times, if they are willing to

look like a fool for their dreams, their

fears, their passions, the center of

what makes them, them

whoa

I know right

 

hyung has a tendency to go off

about some deep nonsense thing

like 20 times a day

 

but some of the things he says

just stick with you forever?

exactly!

 

some of the things he says

 

god I'd never forget them in

my life

 

like that text dump ^

OH

 

TAE

 

this was really interesting and I

would love to talk more no lie

but

 

BIOLOGY

 

I have approx 3 hours to

complete this AND THERE'S

TOO MUCH OF IT

 

ITS THE START OF THE SCHOOL

YEAR WHY IS THERE SO MUCH

WORK

GLAD YOU REMEMBERED

IN TIME

 

text me whatever you need help

with and I'll try to explain

 

bad with words though you

are warned

don't worry I'll understand you

anytime


Jimin

20 apr

how bad do you have

to be at romance to

use the line

 

''remember me? oh wait

i have only met you in my

dreams"

please tell me someone

didnt actually say that

to you

oh thank god no

its this really bad

movie

and youre watching that

because?

see

 

one of my friends reaaaally

wanted to watch this movie

and she dragged this other

friend along

 

and he dragged ME along for

''moral support''

lmao

 

you can talk to the other

guy then, anything better than

what you seem to be watching

 

well

 

friend #1 and friend #2 are getting

along

 

a little two well

 

I moved to a seat 4 rows back to

give them space and they didn't

even notice level of well

 

so in conclusion i am stuck here

with 2 options

 

1. watch this movie



2. cockblock my friends



3.talk with your best friend

best friend?

youre my best friend Jiminnie!

 

oh damn are we not best friends?

 

no no no!!

 

that's not what i meant!

 

i mean

 

i considered you to be my

best friend but i thought it was

just me cause i really don't have

that many friends

so we are best friends!

 

right?

of course!! i just didn't think

that you would think of

me as your best friend

too

 

you seem to have lot of friends

Jimin i have talked to

you for hours nearly

every other day

 

and i know i am way more

energetic than the

average human

you're as energetic as

the average puppy

but i dont talk that much with

just anyone

oh

okay this officially went too

mushy mushy for me

bad with heart to hearts?

bad with every emotion except

fun and happy tbh

well then allow me to switch the

topic to this very ''fun'' movie

 

go on

 

entertain me

I zoned out through half

the scenes so far but from

what i can get

the main character is a desperate

piece of ass with all the

personality of stale bread

charming

and i dunno just what the female

lead sees in this guy

she legit left her well paying job

to be with him

 

good job chun-hwa

wait

 

is the name of the dude

gyujong?

I think so

 

probably

oh you're going to enjoy

this movie all right

Tae did you read even

a word of what i said

this movie is B A D

 

and not the weird kind of

bad either

 

it's just cringey and full

of cliches

trust me my child

 

the ending makes all the

suffering worth it

i still have half the movie

left so at least keep me

company till the ending is

here

 

if this is a joke i swear to god

Taehyung I'd personally go

to daegu to murder you

while chanting lame pick up

lines

im terrified

you should be


Jimin

20 apr

OH MH GODHSKSKS

youre welcome

DID SHE

yes

THID IS GLORIYS

 

lmao begone with your and

your 'fun' you shittty MC

 

chun-hwa you made some

veeery bad choices but killing

the dude was the best thing ever

how to deal with assaulters, a guide

by chun-hwa

 

thanks Tae

I had the exact same

reaction when i watched it

 

unfortunately i had no one

to tell me when the good part

kicks in

 

ie

 

in the last 10 minutes

 

so i had to suffer through the

whole thing YOU BETTER

BE GRATEFUL

 

I AM

 

THANKS TAE

 

I APPRECIATE IT

 

YOURE WELCOME

 

but the real question is


I know what youre going to ask

 

I was bored okay

 

you can't be that bored

that you watched this

movie to the end

i make questionable choices

sometimes

"sometimes"

 

might I remind you

no

ㅋㅋㅋ


Jimin

that's pretty!!

did you take that?

yep!

 

i love the countryside with

all it's greenery

I can't say anything

about that I pretty much live

near the center of the urban

area and have never left it

in my life

 

but it looks so pretty!

ehehe

 

it is! my fav area is

grandma's strawberry

farm

 

where I currently am

 

you're visiting her??

 

holiday from school?

no you idiot

 

I live with her

hey!

 

how should I have known

that you lived with her? -3-

 

dumbass

fair point

 

but still

 

idiot Chimchim (。・ω・。)

really feeling the love here

Tae

just to clear the whole story and

enlighten you

 

my parents are super busy with

business and are usually at

different places for work so I live

with my granny and my brother is

in college in seoul and no this is

not some tragic anime back story

where I hate everyone

that does sound like a

tragic anime back story I'd

be honest

 

no wait

 

this is more like the narrator's

monologue in the beginning

IKR

 

sometimes people think they

are dead and give their

condolences and I am like….

 

no

 

this is not what you think

although thats rare nowadays everyone

knows everyone in a small town

lmao I FEEL YOU

okay this is getting a bit

personal

you don't HAVE to say anything

no it's fine Tae

 

it's not a traumatic

story or anything

 

so my mom is a single parent

and everyone is like

 

oh poor child

 

and it's so far from the truth

cause I never even knew him

I don't even want to

and my mom is p much the

most fabulous 'I love life and I

am full of energy' kind of person

who gives no shit

your mom sounds so awesome

come to think of it you and

her would get along like a house

on fire

I am NEVER letting you two meet

you got no say in this my sweet

summer child

I wonder if she has…

 

baby photos

oh god

 

NO

 

you don't even know

what I look like you can't

see my baby photos

I am guessing you are short

if nothing else

i came here to have a good

time and i am honestly

feeling so attacked rn

 

i am not short!

 

you can't even know that

why would you think i am

short?

def short

 

only short people get that

defensive

 

things I know about Jimin

- hes shy

- hes snarky once you get

to know him

- he loves big bang

- hes smol

i am leaving

nooooooo

 

jaaaack

 

come back!

why do I put up with

you

for my charming

personality ofc ( ˘ ³˘)❤

you're lucky I love you

but i haven't even seen the

face of the light of my life

 

woe is me

you never give up do you

img

 

ALSJDKSLS

 

THOSE SQUISHY CHEEKS

 

I WANNA SQUEEZ THEM

 

YOURE SO SMOL

 

AND CUTE

ahhhhh shaddup Tae

have you even seen yourself

SOFT MOCHI

 

WHAT

SMOL SOFT MOCHI

 

SO CUTE

 

ONCE AGAIN

HAVE YOU SEEN YOURSELF

YOU'RE LIKE 10X BETTER

LOOKING

me???

 

hey no i am not cute or handsome

or anything

 

i mean there are so many

better looking people out there

"not cute or handsome" he

says

 img

with this face

 

ohh you saved that?

i save all photos

you can't convince me you

don't do the same (●`・(エ)・´●)

 

touche

 

your ddosun spam is

cute af and gives

me life can you blame me

 

and your memes help

me get through school so

kudos

 

mutual benefit

 

symbiosis

 

I swear one of these days

i am gonna leave you in the

jungle and never look back

congrats

 

you lost

oh did you beat my high

score?

not that bet

 

remember the two friends

that dragged me to that

movie

ah

 

so they broke up?

yepp

damn 2 more weeks and

i would have won

WAHAHAHA

bow to your king peasant

you want me to reach your

height then?

 

guards kindly escort this

man to the guillotine

please

 

I have 5 children

 

I am sure your majesty's

heart is very big

 

to compensate for the

height

why must you cause

trouble for yourself sweetie

what can I say

 

i live the dangerous life

 

such brave

 

nothing scares me

except geese

GEESE ARE SCARY OKAY

 

YOU CITY BOYS WONT

UNDERSTAND THE POWER

OF GEESE

 

PRETTY SURE THEY

SPAWN FROM THE DEPTHS

OF HELL

come on they are just…

birds

you uncultured swine

 

let me tell you about geese

 

wow

 

fascinating

 

do tell me more

 

such an interesting topic

 

harmless birds

"harmless"

 

imagine you're ladila-ing on a

fine day and feeding ducks

 

WHEN SUDDENLY

 

THEY APPEAR

 

the next horror story

these fuckers thing every

part of the human body is

food

 

seriously they would try

to eat your hand NEVER FEED

GEESE

 

and they would chase you

around for miles they never

get tired good lord

 

and they have the patience

of a Buddhist monk

 

you can't run

 

you can't hide

 

you can't wait them out

 

img

are you sure we're talking

about the same animal

here?

 

img

yes

 

yes we are

 

AND THEY HAVE NO FEARS

 

NOTHING

 

you could conquer

the word with an

army of geese I am

completely serious

here

 

you literally cannot scare

them away no matter

what you do

 

that awfully sounds like

personal experience

it is

 

14 year old me was traumatized

 

traumatized I tell you

 

you poor baby

don't worry I'll protect

you from geese

thats the sweetest thing

anyone has ever told me

1 Oct

 

me and Eunmi

 

we broke up

!!

 

are you alright?

yeah

 

it was nice

 

you know?

 

we dated for 3 months and

it was really nice

 

like

 

she didn't cheat on me

or anything like that she was

perfectly great

you broke it up or?

it was more on mutual

terms I guess?

 

like sure

 

we liked each other but

it kinda lessened

 

we are still friends though!

 

no hard feelings on

either side

 

still made me sad

at first cause

 

1/4th of a year isn't

that less

 

oh Tae

 

it's okay

 

just because there's nothing

romantic attached to it

doesn't mean that you

can't be close

I know

 

and i plan to be good

friends at least

 

:)

its enough to tell me the

potential scenario

cant argue against that

 

okay I promise

then I promise too ´・ᴗ・`


"Hi, ah, Tae?"

 

"Jimin! Hey!"

"Happy birthday!"

"Thank you! I can't believe this, you called! That's the best birthday gift!"

"I spent an hour debating whether you'd be asleep or not actually, but then I remembered that you are the kind of dork that stays up till 2 am to watch a cooking show."

"Just because I can't cook doesn't mean I can't appreciate those who do!"

"Yeah yeah, bu–"

"And who doesn't stay up on the night of their birthday!?"

"Well Tae yo–"

"I have got a feeling it's going to be one of your snarky comments."

"You know me so well, I am flattered. Anyway, as I was say–"

"I am not letting you comle–"

"You're old–"

"LA LA LA I HEAR NOTHING!"

"–and old people get sleepy quick–"

"Excuse me? You're older than me Chim Chim!"

"I thought you heard nothing."

"You tricked me!"

"What!? Hey don't blame me when you're the one that's an idiot!"

"Such mean words, and on my birthday too, my best friend is so cruel! Ah! My heart shall never be healed!"

"I am so sorry my dear princess! Anything I can do to make up for this grievous mistake?"

"Jimin if you're going to act along at least stop lau- laughing!"

"You're laughing too!"

"That's because your giggles are infectious!"

"Hey I don't giggle! I chuckle."

"Suuuuure you small mochi."

"I am hanging up."

"Nooo don't go! I still haven't told you all my plans for my birthday!"

"I wasn't seriously about to hang up Tae. Go on."

"I really don't have much planned ehehe, just going to have a small party with friends maybe?"

"That sounds nice! I always preferred small gatherings than large parties."

"Parties are fun but when it's something like your birthday, smaller groups are better, yeah?"

"Yep, I get you. Anything else you're going to do?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I would like to spend the day with my grandmother, but I usually do that. Hmm, maybe I could go to the

nearby hill! It's very tiring to go there and I am really really bad at this whole athletic thing–"

"You can't be that bad, I thought you helped out at the farms?"

"Okay not that bad, but it's still a bit of a walk to the base of the hill and then I actually have to hike up too. It would take a lot of time too...ah! Maybe I could hold the party in the morning and go there in the afternoon? The walk in the sunlight would feel nice! And if I time it right it would be nearly sunset when I reach the top. I always loved watching the sunset Jimin, it's honestly so beautiful. But night time is even better, you know? When you're alone in a clearing and the rest no one there and just...you and the sky. It's a feeling I can't explain it's like, like time seems to wrap and bend? I am so sorry I am bad with words and I have been rambling for so long!"

"It's fine Tae, I enjoyed it. Really!"

"But I've been talking for so, so long! You really should have said something this is a phone call not a podcast."

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a really nice voice?"

"I get that comment sometimes."

"It's like a warm hug, you know? Just like you! I could honestly listen for hours."

"Ahh now you're the one who's doing the flattering!"

"As you yourself said before, it's not flattery if it's true."

"I can't believe you'd use my own words against me. Betrayal, I tell you."

"Have you considered choosing theater as a future major because you are a natural at drama, Tae."

"What can I say? I am fabulous. So where were we again?"

"Your birthday!"

"Oh right! Brace yourself you're going to be here for hours."

"Hit me with your best plans, captain."

came up with the idea of

exams

you'd rise from the grave to

dance to it don't lie

Taehyung grinned at Jimin, who smiled back. The video was grainy, and there were some audio problems, but they sorted it out the best they could. He wished his brother was there, Namjoon was always better at all this technical stuff. He did major in the field and is an employee in a robotics firm in Seoul after all, of course he would be better at this.

"I told you I would figure something out, didn't I?"

Jimin laughed in that cute little way of his that never failed to make Taehyung smile in return. "Tae, you just opened up a website that lets you stream a video while video calling."

"Ah ah ah, but who do you think found the website in the first place?"

"I am pretty sure you asked your brother."

"Yeah, but whose brother do you think it is? Mine."

Taehyung felt his smile widen as Jimin's laughter rang out through the screen. He hasn't had much of a chance to hear it yet, with them preferring texting as a better mean of communication, but he decided he really liked it. If there was something that could top his love for Jimin, it was a happy Jimin ( and ddosun, and his hyung, and his grandma, and his parents- he decided to stop there ).

"Hey," Jimin said, finally selecting a movie, "How about Grave of The Fireflies? I haven't seen it yet."

Taehyung scrunched his nose. "I just finished crying over finals, choose something happier.''

"The Wind Rises then?"

''Try again.''

''When Marnie was There? That's not too sad, I have seen that one before."

The Daegu boy sighed and brought his laptop closer. "Remind me to never let you choose again. We're watching Princess Mononoke."

"Haven't you seen that one before?"

"Yes and I would rather rewatch that rather than get my heart stabbed a million times from your choices."

Jimin spluttered and tried to convince him that the movies weren't that bad, they're a beautiful piece of storyline Tae! , but Taehyung quickly shushed him and pressed play. He knew he would give in if the other boy requested him to watch his choices, so it was better to stop him before it came to that.

Halfway through the film, Jimin pouted and declared that they would have to watch Grave of The Fireflies next, he was curious to see just why it was lauded as a masterpiece.

So much for his plan.

Tae predictable grew teary eyed from the first fifteen minutes alone, and he was pretty sure Jimin spent most of the remaining time consoling him and tearing up himself. The reviews were not kidding when they said it was heart wrenching.

They decided to go for one more round, rewatching Spirited Away to cheer up. Jimin ended up falling asleep near the end, and Taehyung had to force himself to tear his eyes away from the frankly adorable sight. But it was lowkey creepy to stare at your sleeping friend, and he did not do creepy, thank you very much.

Not wanting to wake Chimchim, he closed the website, knowing that it would automatically close on the other side too. He debated watching another film on his own, but then discarded the idea. It wouldn't be as much fun, he would rather wait for the next movie night with Jimin ( he planned to make it happen at least once a month, and he had a feeling the other boy had similar ideas ).

He worried his bottom lip, wondering if he should just turn in for the night. It seemed inviting, and even though it was nowhere near the usual time he went to sleep, he wouldn't mind waking up early enough to watch the sunrise. It was something he rarely did nowadays, with his less than healthy sleep schedule.

Maybe he'll begin his second year of high school with better habits. Maybe .
