Misunderstood

Father's home. The dining table had already been filled with delicious meals and more.

Y/N's father is very strict, another day would be another problem for Y/N.

Y/N sat on the dining table with your family, including your father. You play the usual act on the dining table. But to Y/N, your father is starting to give you less attention and you feel it. Y/N is the only one who doesn't speak up but you listen to your family speak instead. Your father is focusing on your other siblings, and you feel neglected and hurt that your own father doesn't care about you and gives you less time and love.

Dinner is here, the family ate. Then Y/N's father spoke up, "don't eat too much, you look fat already, Y/N." Y/N immediately stops eating and does not have the mood for it anymore. Your body isn't as fat as what he told you. Now, you feel insecure. Y/N replies, "you think so? Then i will not eat in that case, Father." You stood up and cleaned your table. Your father is shocked and didn't say anything after you called him by that name. Your mother was silent, she doesn't want to intervene with her husband. The other siblings are just staring at you.

Your father spoke up again, "Don't talk back to me like that." His voice is cold. "Sit your ass down." You immediately sit down, and now you feel miserable and depressed. You don't have the feeling to eat anymore. Because his words made you feel like crap about yourself. Suddenly Y/N speaks up, "That's how conversation works. I have the rights for what to say. Do not control me like my body is a puppet. And yes, i dare to talk back." You are literally defending your side right now. Your father can't take this. His face is now red hot, and he can't stand the thing you said to him at their dining table. "You have the right for what you're saying. But still, i am your father. You have no right to insult me like that!" He stands up to yell at you, as he was standing in front of you, you know that crossed the line but you're just not thinking straight and you still stand your point.

"was i not enough, father? Are my fucking grades not enough to make you proud? WAS MY MEDALS AND TROPHIES NOT ENOUGH TO SATISFY YOUR NEEDS? i am sick of this, father." You clinched your fists, can't take this. Your father is in shock with your statement. You feel the silence in the room, and all family members are shocked after what you just said. Your father is speechless and he doesn't know what to say right now. Your mother was trying to calm the situation but she's afraid that it's going to get more chaotic and she feels anxious for her children. "Y/N, that's enough!" Your mother try to intervene, but her daughter is too mad to listen. "Why wont you guys treat me fairly? Why do i not get the same attention? ... Where did I go wrong?" You were clearly shaking and emotionless , your eyes didn't sparkle anymore.

Your father is stunned with what you're saying. He is speechless and he doesn't know what to say or how to make you forgive him, no words can come out of his mouth. He is shocked with your statement that he is treating you unfairly. It's like you are revealing all the hidden secrets about you, and they are starting to realized you're hurt. Your siblings are feeling awkward to say something. Your mother then takes the lead, and speaks calmly to you."Y/N, I think that your father just wants the best for you... "Leave me alone. You never understood me at all." You then prefer to go outside in the garden taking fresh air.

You leave the dining table as your mother speak to you. But you don't have the mood to hear her words, you just want to escape from it. You left the dining table and your mother, and you are now outside taking a breath. You feel the air is peaceful than your own family, you feel the quietness of the garden. And there you sit alone in the dark, as you look up to the night sky. You feel sad and your eyes are filled with tears, which you are trying not to cry. A few minutes later, you see someone sitting next to you, it's your bodyguard (name). In these peaceful dark nights, he's trying to calm you. "Y/N, why are you alone here?" He speaks with a sad tone and the light from the moon is making it shine on his face. You feel his presence, but you're too occupied with what's in your mind and heart right now. You don't reply to his question.
