Chapter Text
Unknown 5:15am
sometimes it feels like the room isn’t big enough for me but at the same time it’s too small and i can’t breathe too much space that feels stifling
do u know that feeling?
idk why i’m texting a random number
it’s 5am and i’m kinda sleep deprived kinda suffocating in my own misery
i’m sorry about this
i hope i didn’t wake u up
wherever u are
Unknown 12:23pm
good morning
i just woke up
sorry about last night idk what came over me
i guess i’m just lonely
anyway have a good day
Unknown 2:40pm
just took a walk
i don’t think i’ve been up with the sun in a long time
too holed up at the studio
it was nice
got myself an iced americano
saw a cat running after a squirrel
did u know squirrels’ front teeth never stop growing
i mean it makes sense considering they never stop gnawing
they wouldn’t have teeth otherwise
sorry
i’ll leave u alone now need to go back to work
Unknown 7:12pm
idk why i keep texting u
thanks for not telling me to fuck off tho
i’m ordering kalguksu for dinner
do u like that?
i find it very cosy
if food can be cosy
idk if that’s the right word
anyway
have u had dinner?
i’m putting on some anime to wait for my food
i like watching something while i wait
or eat
Unknown 7:15pm
i just realised i didn’t tell u my name
but i kind of like the anonymity
i usually don’t have the luxury of just pretending i’m not Someone uk
ah idk what i’m saying
have a good night
me 7:54pm
[picture.png]
having shrimp
Unknown 7:55pm

Unknown 7:57pm
[Picture of a foot obstructing the TV. The sock has a hole in the toe, Spider-Man print.]
me 8:03pm

Unknown 8:10pm

it was a joke
me 8:11pm
you seemed to be fine when i was leaving you on read this whole time
Unknown 8:12pm
yeah but now i know ur tone
and i like it
i’m selfish want u to keep giving me attention
me 8:13pm
i need to get off the floor
my back is killing me
Unknown 8:14pm
i can give u my chiropractor’s contact
if it’s a common occurence
how old are u
wait don’t answer that i kinda like not knowing anything about u
me 8:15pm
you’re really enjoying this anonymity thing aren’t you
cute
Unknown 8:15pm
:p
sometimes it’s nice not being perceived
like i said i can’t really be no one
well
that sounds a bit odd doesn’t it?
me 8:16pm
i don’t think it does
i kind of get it
i also don’t have a place to hide
Unknown 8:16pm
it’s nice here
cosy
might make a nest
me 8:17pm
i’ll let you
Unknown 8:18pm
i’m glad
i’m sleepy
but it’s only 8
me 8:19pm

Unknown 8:19pm

me 8:21pm

Unknown 8:22pm

i feel like once u hit 24 u can’t sleep anymore
and ur joints start to hurt
ah i just gave myself away a little
me 8:24pm
i wasn’t going to comment on it

Unknown 1:14pm
decided to stay home today
i usually don’t have much of a choice
considering my schedule is kinda insane
but they gave me the day off
im still gonna work tho
always get the best ideas at home
also good morning
i mean afternoon
its morning to me
i just woke up
me 1:17pm
i’ve been staring at a blank doc for an hour
i should probably get up and do some stretches
i hate the moment before you start doing something
it feels like you’re suspended in time
waiting for your brain to register you need to be doing something instead of just staring into space you know?
Unknown 1:18pm
i get what u mean
sometimes it takes me half a day to actually start being productive
like i can do what i have to do but it always feels like i haven’t clocked in not really
it feels like i’m on auto pilot
idk if that makes sense
me 1:20pm
i totally get what you mean
it’s kind of frustrating
Unknown 1:21pm
real
and it’s hard bc u know ur moving but it doesn’t feel like u are
it’s so strange
got too deep there lollllllll
anyway what are u wearing
me 1:22pm
?????????????
are you really trying to sext me right now
Unknown 1:22pm
NOT LIKE THAT
i’m straight
i think
me 1:23pm
you Think?
Unknown 1:23pm
never really thought about it
i don’t have time to even wipe my ass sometimes
me 1:24pm
What.
Unknown 1:25pm
oh wow i keep putting my foot in my mouth
i do IN FACT wipe my ass
it was a hyperbole
me 1:26pm
i’m laughing respectfully
Unknown 1:26pm
