SORA'S POV

He really left like that. He has not changed at all. Still so inconsiderate, so rash. Tears pricked my eyes and I sank down on the couch. It's not that I am insensitive to his words that I would be taking whatever he speaks.

My phone beeped again and yet another stupid person, wasting their fucking time in pulling me down. The bar is already on the ground, they better bring shovels.

Unknown:
Bitch, you really deserve to die.
You fucking made Yoongi oppa
carry your bags? You gold digger!

Me:
You'd bring me so much joy
as soon as you stop texting me.

Unknown:
I hope your parents realise
the mistake they made.

Me:
Aren't you being too personal?
How dare you speak about
my parents?

Unknown:
Why? You yourself regret
your resentful life, don't you?

Me:
Everyone has the right to be
stupid once in a while. But you
seriously are abusing the
privilege.

Unknown:
If you were to be graded on
your wrongs, you'll top the class.

Me:
Hard luck, I still used to top when
we were graded on our rights.

Sorry that you can't relate.

Unknown:
You really are as resentful as
I thought u would be. Bitch!!!

Me:
Yes. I am a bitch, but not yours.

So, please leave me alone.

What am I even doing? Battling with some stranger? But how dare they speak about my parents when they don't know shit about me?

Why are people so insensitive? Why is my soulmate the most insensitive human being? Why doesn't he realise that he hurts me everytime he's like this?

I threw the phone on the couch itself. It was beeping like anything. Am I so abominable?

The vibration was irking me, so I just muted it. Now what should I do, sit and wait for someone to acknowledge their mistake? I am not even sure that he would accept his fault. He never does.

"I am protecting you," I imitated him. I fucking am capable of protecting myself. I don't need his protection. He wasn't there for me when I went through the hardest times in my life, I bore it all alone. He thinks I am weak! I am the fuck not!

Then why am I crying?

I wiped off my tears but it wasn't in my control. I was angry, hurt and... Scared. He left me all alone in a stranded house, in a new city. This was the time he could have been considerate, but nothing's bigger than his fucking ego.

I glanced at the wall clock, it's eight already. I am not staying here anymore.

I sighed and picked up my phone, and instantly there was a call from Mi Unnie. I sniffled and composed myself before taking the call.

[Hello?]

[Yeah?]

[Oh hey Sora. You left your
sling bag here. It's with me. ]

[It's fine, just throw it or
give it to someone.]

[Oh please. It has the best
shade of pink lipstick. I couldn't
find that shade even after going
through numerous stalls.]

[Yeah right? I found it online.
I'll send you the link.]

[You're totally best friend
material for that.]

[Haha yes. Yoongi never
understands lipstick colors
*laughs*]

[Really? Jin does everytime.
He seems to be vigilant. He
notices even the littlest change
I have in my attire.]

[Wow, he seems to really love
you. *Sighs* Even when my
hair changed color, it took him
like a few minutes to realise that
they were now brown from black.]

[He must haven't thought about that.]

[Yeah, maybe... It's just
me.]

[Hey, wassup?]

[Nothing. We just quarrelled
over something.]

[What's that something. I promise
I won't tell anyone.]

[Unnie, it's just that since our
relationship was out in public.

Some people just texted out of
rage.]

[The euphemism you used for
death threats. Cool.]

[Wait. How did you know?]

[I have been an idol since a
time now, Sora. ]

[Yeah and... Yoongi happened

to see it. He insisted on suing those
people.]

[What's wrong with that?]

[They're just teenagers.
They have their whole life ahead
of them. A legal action can ruin
it all. Literally a hater came today
and she was in her school uniform.
I was shocked!]

[Wait a sec? You met a hater?
Are you okay? Did they do anything?]

[As I told you she was a kid-]

[What if the next time it's
a brawny man? You think the
fandom is limited to a certain
age limit? No Sora, you're so wrong.

What if something happens to
you? Do you think Yoongi could
take that? Think how guilty
he would be then.]

[Guilt, huh! He never feels
guilty. If he could feel it, he
wouldn't have left me all alone.]

[Here? In Seoul? Where are you?
I am coming.]

[It's no need Unnie. I am at his house.]

[*Sigh* you scared the shit
out of me for a freaking second.]

[I'm sorry. He just said he hates me
and my so-called virtues. I am
pathetic to his eyes. *Sniffle*
He says I am stupid. Melodramatic.
Lettuce-head.

What's the difference to when he
said that I don't deserve to have
a soulmate? He hasn't changed

Unnie.]

Hot tears streamed down my cheeks. I felt so dejected as if my heart was buried under tons of gravel.

[Calm down. I know he
shouldn't have spoken that.

But think if he was the one
recieving these death threats.
Won't you be worried?]

[This is no way of showing
botheration. It's purely
selfish.]

[I know. He's like a brother to me,
Sora. I know him. I have worked
with him.]

[I have been his childhood friend
Unnie. I know him too. He speaks
things without even thinking it
through. He just have to win, at all
costs!]

[You said it yourself. Without
thinking it through. He just wanted
you safe. And tbh, I find no reason
to stop prosecution against those
people.]

[But-]

[Sora, it's not about your or me.

Or even Seoyeon or Minji. We are
adults. We can still manage. What
about Kaylie, Yunseo and Goeun?

Think about them. If you let this
continue, people will never know
their limits. One example and that's
it.]

[But he shouldn't have spoken
to me like that...]

[Thrash him.]

[Huh?]

[Take a pillow and smack it
on his face till it's blood red.]

[*Giggles* How would that help?]

[Believe me. Violence is the
answer.]

[Seriously you're not
the best person to be a teacher.]

[I care? Nahhhh. *Laughs*]

[*Laughs* Thanks Unnie.]

[Anytime buddy. Send me the
link tho.]

[Ofcourse. Bye.]

[Byeee.]

Call ended.
