Essence (1/1)

The alarm clock goes off at 7:00, like every morning…You lazily turn it off and try to wake up, but you’re way too sleepy and the courage required to leave the warm bed covers is just too great.After a while your sense of responsibility takes over as you manage to slide one leg out of the covers.That’s when you wish you at least had SOMETHING to wake up to. “Ready for another boring day, Jiyong?”You don’t know exactly when you started talking to yourself, but it’s become a habit and doesn’t seem so strange anymore. At 8:00 you’re ready to leave for work. You get in your car and turn on the radio as some random hip hop song blasts through the speakers. However, even with the music blearing, your ears hear nothing but silence. The chaos of the early morning traffic jam doesn’t even bother you as you begin your daily self-analysis. “Why am I even doing this? This isn’t what I want, it’s what THEY want.” And it’s been like this for as long as you can remember. All the things you have achieved in life were just to make your parents happy, just to hear them say “We’re so proud of you”.Everything. Your college, your so-called friends, your girlfriend… everything.And then you start to blame yourself for not having enough courage, for not being able to say “no” when the time came. You reach your destination and the inner turmoil is momentarily forgotten as you reach your office, where you’ll be just too busy to even think. You get ready to leave the office at 6:00 pm, heading towards the parking lot. When you reach your brand new Mercedes, you notice a figure leaning on it and you almost immediately realize who it is. There he is, the only reason why you haven’t given up yet.The only thought that keeps you going… the very essence of your life… “Hi, Seungri.”  -------------------------- A/N: The next chapters will be a bit longer, I promise :) I'm not sure about the point of view I used... It's kind of hard to describe things like this lol What do you think? Should I change it in a more "normal" POV? XD
