The Unexpected Point of View|2022

9. Date of four

Soya was right in front of you, standing beside Taehyung. How could you forget the first interaction where your own father held her hand and let you, your bother and mother suffer! He chosed her. So did everyone.

Even the man beside you, who was looking at you with nervousness. Meeting face to face with her was your biggest nightmare and trigger point. She was a reality who couldn't be denied. You flinched when a warm hand held your fingers. "Please, calm down" Jungkook requested. You repeated the words in mind that it was all for him. Him to get that nasty pig back.

"Hey, Y/N." Taehyung pulled you in a hug and you returned it. Once upon a time he was your friend. "Glad you came. I thought you won't come."

" What a coincidence! I thought the same." Sarcasm was dripping out of it. "But had to see what made you fall for her." Rolling your eyes you glanced at Soya.

She shook her head in disappointment and said," Welcome, Y/N. This place might bloom sibling love between us, sisters."

You scoffed. "Yeah, hope so.." You literally wanted to drown her in the lake.

Unfortunately, she knew how to swim.

Taehyung cleared his throat and said," Why don't you guys do fishing? I and Jungkook will prepare korean BBQ. Won't we?" Taehyung grimaced. Jungkook aas confused but nodded in sequence.

Soya walked first to the sunbed and you followed her to grab a fishing pole. Fishing would be better than tolerating her stupid face.

Taehyung sighed," She's still hot headed."

"Who?" Jungkook asked as Taehyung pushed his wheelchair forward.

Jungkook could use joystick but the battery would reduce more.

Taehyung said," Both of them. Haven't you seen that verbal battle? I swear, these girls could drive anyone mad in both double meaning."

"True." Jungkook chuckled. "So how did you convinced her to come? You lied." Taehyung asked as he prepared the sticks. "Kind of." Jungkook hesitated to let it out. "I told her I'm still into Soya but honestly, I moved on. Who wants to go back to their ex? You enjoy the girl you got. I'm not snatching anything back from the great Kim Taehyung."

He laughed and handed him a stick to grill. "Hope this plan doesn't backfire. So are you back into Y/N? Grew feelings for her?"

"I don't know. I hurted her. She won't accept me. I'll be thrown in trash the second I'll think about getting back at her. Not to forget her grumpy brother. But whenever I see her meeting guys like Jimin or anyone I cannot stop but blame myself for ruining her standards. I could see it in her eyes. She is subconsciously doing it to show that she's fine, okay, alright but she isn't. I often find her sighing in the lawn."

"She's still suffering her post traumatic stress. Being at the top and still struggling with past memories is horrific. I think bringing you back in her life was a right decision. In this way, she not run away from her problems and eventually heal herself, adapt the acceptance that now everything came to an end."

"You sound so mature, Taehyung. Where's that flirty saxophonist?"

"Soon to be married. What about you? Are you gonna hit on Y/N?" Taehyung flipped the chickens. Glancing at his fiancee and old friend sitting close but emotionally too away.

"Girls like her aren't made for flirting but for love." Jungkook whispered while looking at Y/N, sitting by the bonfire while Taehyung turned his gazed at him.

Taehyung scoffed with a chuckle." You are reinforcing the binary between the 'hot girl' Soya who a man wants to flirt and hook up with and the 'girl next door' Y/N who a man would want to pursue a more serious relationship with, a girl 'worthy' of long time love. In this way, you end up stereotyping, both women, limiting Y/N's sexuality and desirability on the one hand while dismissing Soya's emotions on the other."

"It wasn't intentional." Jungkook flipped the BBQ which were almost ready. Taehyung took out the plate and said," This reflects a broader problem in our society where we create a binary between sexual desirability and respectability, especially for women, forcing them to make a choice between being respected and being desired. And that's why you should find what do you actually want."

"You're making me feel like a bad person."

"Maybe you are. Just wear someone else's shoes. You'll understand how you act and how it affects other's emotions towards you."
Taehyung winked at him and went to the girls with two plates of BBQ. He observed that you were getting along with Taehyung more than taking his care.

He was used his controller to move as had no one to take care of him. Suddenly a wheel got blocked by a stone and his wheelchair flipped. Jungkook fell into the mud.
He groaned loudly. You all turned towards the voice with a frown and understood that it was none other than Jungkook calling for help. In one fast moment you left everything and ran towards him. Picking him up you supported his body around the shoulder. Taehyung came and picked him up in his arms and carried him to your room which used to be your bedroom once upon a time. A doctor came and examined him; just in case. He was fine. Only a sprained ankle.
