"Let's go now." Lily, Wonwoo, and Somi's mother command them.

The cousins with Taehyung and Mingyu nods and walked together to the restaurant near the hotel that they've booked earlier.

They were waiting for Sora and her family to go down which took them almost half an hour to wait for them.

Sora was rushed to walk beside Jungkook and cling herself on Jungkook's arms.

"I'm sorry to make you guys wait." She said with an apologetic smile.

The Jeon cousins just gave her a half-smile before looking away rolling their eyes.

Taehyung can't do anything and just lets out a sigh with Junho walking beside him, holding his hand.

Sora was wearing a red summer vibe dress that brings some 'innocent' aura around her. 

Taehyung just smiled not wanting to say anything bad about Sora

Taehyung just smiled not wanting to say anything bad about Sora. He suddenly felt arms around his small shoulder and a peck on his cheek.

"Don't worry Tae, you're so much more than her," Soyeon whispered to Taehyung and got a cute giggle in reply.

Soyeon just wants to melt at that moment and kept Taehyung inside her pocket.

Jungkook notices that Taehyung was quite from the moment Sora clings on him glance at Taehyung with worry in his eyes.

He tried to shake off Sora but he just can't when his father was keeping an eye on him and Seungho smirked at him.

He knows that his actions will probably hurt Tae but he just can't ignore his father, he still has to respect his father.

On the other side, Yoona was ready to murder Jiyoon and his husband who made his son suffer.

Yoona knows that Seungho and Jiyoon is plain evil, wanting to get their empire and vanishing them.

She knows that Seungho is not good news and kept trying to tell that to her husband but Jungho just didn't want to listen and keep befriend with the evil guy.

She doesn't know what's behind her husband's sleeve but she just hopes that her husband knows what he's doing.

"Jiyoon, I didn't know that Sora is turning into some gold-digging slut when she's a model who needs to keep her image nice. I think she needs her own man so that she doesn't cling into Jungkook. Don't you think?" Yoona said sarcastically with a smile on her face.

Jiyoon who felt humiliated puts on her fake smile and said, "I don't think that she's turning into a slut, she's just proud of her body and wants to show it off. And for clinging into Jungkook. Don't you think it's normal when she's going to be Jungkook's wife in a couple of months. You know, Taehyung is the one who should wake up, I mean, he's a guy who dressed as a girl. Do you think it's normal?"

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you that I don't accept slut as my daughter and don't insult Taehyung in front of me when you still need our money to survive." Yoona claps back and walked towards Taehyung who was spacing out while walking.

"Taetae."

Taehyung jolts surprised when someone called his name. He turns to the voice direction and found Yoona smiling at him.

"Aunt Yoona." Taehyung called Yoona softly and gave her a weak smile.

"Aww... Pup, why are you sad?" Yoona frowns.

Taehyung lets out a small giggle and shakes his head.

"I'm not auntie... Just tired from the beach earlier." Taehyung smiled.

Deep down, Yoona knows that Taehyung was hurt by her own husband's game. Sacrificing two feelings to an evil man.

"Just hold it a bit, okay bun?" Yoona encourage Tae and rubbed his shoulder, telling him to stay strong.

Taehyung nods and lets out a sigh.

After 15 minutes of walk, they finally arrive at the restaurant. The place wasn't too fancy and wasn't too casual too. It's just a semi-formal restaurant that's connected to the beach.

They all seated themselves after the waiter led them to the private area near the beach.

Taehyung who was almost seating next to Mingyu, was being pulled by Jungkook to be seated beside him. Sora who was seating on the other side frowns and glared at Tae.

Taehyung who felt someone staring at him turned his head and found Sora glaring at him, he just rolled his eyes and pulled a middle finger to her making the woman taken back.

She never knows that Taehyung would be this brave against her. Well, guess she didn't know that Taehyung's attitude was taught by a little meow-meow and a worldwide handsome.

The younger Jeon laughed at Sora's face when she got a middle finger by Taehyung, high fiving Tae as he sat down while Jungkook just kissed his cheek and placed Junho beside Taehyung.

Jungkook's sudden kiss made a fuss over the table where his cousins were teasing them and the Lee family scrunched their face in disgust.

"I think someone didn't know a table manner." Jiyoon with sarcasm.

"Well, at least I know how to respect someone who supposed to be respected." Taehyung sassed back to Jiyoon.

The older Jeons were holding their laughs while the younger Jeons were already laughing their ass off when they saw Jiyoon's face gone red.

'This bitch, I need to get rid of him.'

"And you don't need to get rid of me because you're the one who will be getting rid of. So, I must say, enjoy your stay before you suffer Mrs. Lee Jiyoon."

Jiyoon got embarrassed when Taehyung actually reads her mind.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Lee Jiyoon, but I'm not a mind reader. It's just... Your face tells it all." He then gave Jiyoon a smile before looking back at the menu book.

The entire Lee family was flustered with Taehyung sudden sassiness this night. He stayed quiet for the whole day and didn't fight back when they mock and insult him.

Taehyung who was fed up with all of that decide to fight back and barks when they bark first.

He doesn't care about what Jungho and Yoona's siblings think of him but he just wants to stand for his own and not letting himself be attacked.

That's not what he was taught in his household. When someone attacks you, you should attack back with elegance. And that's totally what he's doing right now. Not letting the Lee pull him down.
