{Taehyung's POV}

Sitting here between these people you could cut the tension with a knife. I feel like around people that didn't know them better then maybe their fakeness and vague insults could be overlooked. But i notice all of them.

Y/N is very passive aggressive. And its obvious there is a lot going on between her and her mother. I don't see her interact with her stepfather once during the entire meal.

And Jungkook isn't as subtle about his annoyance with having to be here. He doesn't come right out and say it because he has some level of respect for the guests inside the house. But his facial expression tells all.

And then here i sit, in the middle of all this bullshit because Jungkook didn't want to be alone tonight. Since that night on the lake he has been a bit distant with me. And i know i upset him, and im sorry for that. Maybe i did push him a bit to much. I was just worried.

He has pretty much kept his promise though.

The entire week he didn't call me for one thing, even though i could tell he was struggling a lot. He didn't directly ask me to stay with him tonight, but i can tell he feels better knowing im here.

And that's enough for me.

{Jungkook's POV}

All i have to keep reminding myself is 'at least the food is good'.

I scrape my fork along the plate, scooping up more food, continuing to eat. I wish i could pay no attention to the conversation going on around me, but i have no such luck.

I feel bad that Taehyung has to stay and sit through all of this awkwardness. My family is so off on its own, and it doesn't seem like Y/N's is much closer. And then all of us put together is one big train wreck with multiple casualties.

"So, Y/N. What is it like being back in Highland?" My mother asks with a cheery tone. I finally lift my eyes to the girl sitting at the table across from me, her eyes getting big when she realizes someone had just spoken to her. Swallowing the food in her mouth, and clearing her throat with a nervous chuckle.

"Its been fine." She replies uncertainly.

Her mother then sits up straight. "Yeah, its been great having her back. We are one happy family again."

Y/N's eye roll is hard to miss. And the frustration growing within her is clear as well. I wonder how long it will take for her to lose her cool. I want to see how well she can hold it all in.

She seems like a very emotional person, but she does a good job at hiding it. So this could go either way. Im never sure how things will end up when Y/N is involved.

I begin to notice something that i find funny.

You would think two families working so hard to seem perfect would relate a bit. And somehow connect. But no... absolutely not. Its not just the awkwardness within our own families that threatens to get out of hand. There is a bit of hostility between the two families.
