My Psycho Stalker (Taekook)
chapter 3
Sometimes I have very dark thoughts about my mother - thoughts no sane daughter should ever have.
Sometimes, I'm not always sane 😑
Taehyung
Please mom📞 ( irritated)🙄
Tae's mother
"Tae, you're being ridiculous,"📞
mom says through the speaker on my phone.
I glare at in response, refusing to argue with her.
when I have nothing to say my mom Sigh loudly
I wrinkles my nose. It blows my mind that this woman always called grandma dramatic yet can't see her own flair for the dramatics🙄.
Tae's mother
Just because your grandparents gave you the house doesn't mean you have to actually live in it. 📞
Tae's mother
It's old and would be doing everyone in that city a favour of it were torn down".📞
i thumb my head against the headrest, rolling my eyes upward and trying to find patience weaved into the stained roof my car.
Taehyung
" and just because you don't like it , doesn't mean I can't live in it," 📞
i retort dryly
My mother is a *****. Plain and simple. She's always had a chip on her shoulder, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why.🙄
Tae's mother
"You'll be living an hour from us! That will be incredibly inconvenient for you to come visit us, won't it?" 📞
Taehyung
Oh, how will I ever survive? (thinking)💭
Pretty sure my gynecologist is an hour away, too, but I still make an effort to see her once a year. And those visits are far more painful.
My patience only lasts an entire sixty seconds talking to my mother. After that, I'm running on fumes and have no desire to put in any more effort to keep the conversation moving along.
If it's not one thing, it's the other. She always manages to find something to complain about. This time, it's my choice to live in the house my grandparents gave to me. I grew up in daegu, running alongside the ghosts in the halls and baking cookies with Grandma. I have fond memories here---
memories I refuse to let go of just because Mom didn't get along with Grandma.
I never understood the tension between them , but as I got order and started to comprehend mom's snarkiness and understand insults for what they were, it made sense.
My grandma always had positive, sunny outlook on life, viewing the world through rose coloured glasses. she was always smiling and humming, while mom is cursed with perpetual scowl on her face and looking at life like her glasses got smashed when she was plugged out of grandma's v***na.
I don't know why her personality never developed past that of a porcupine -- she was never raised to be a prickly *****.
Growing up, my mom and dad had a house only a mile away from Parsons Manor. She could barely tolerate me, so I spent most of my childhood in this house. It wasn't until I left for college that Mom moved out of town an hour away. When I quit college, I moved in with her until I got back on my feet and my writing career took off. And when it did, I decided to travel around the country, never really settling in one place.
grandma died about a year ago, gifting me the house in her will, but my grief hindered me from moving into daegu. Until now.
Tae's mother
sighs again through the phone "I just wish you had more ambition in life, instead of staying in the town you grew up in, sweetie. Do something more with your life than waste away in that house like your grandmother did. I don't want you to become worthless like her."📞
A snarl overtakes my face, fury tearing throughout my chest.💔
I hang up the phone, angrily smashing my finger into the screen until I hear the telltale chime that the call has ended.
Taehyung
How dare she speak of her own mother that way when she was nothing but loved and cherished? grandma certainly didn't treat her the way she treats me, that's for damn sure.🤬🤬
I rip a page from Mom's book and let loose a melodramatic sigh, turning to look out my side window. Said house stands tall, the tip of the black roof spearing through the gloomy clouds and looming over the vastly wooded area as if to say you shall fear me.
