Y/N The Mutual Enabler

Eyy erbody. I hope y’all are having a good day/night wherever y’all are. For today’s rant, I’ll be revisiting Mutual Help coz I don’t think I fully exhausted my frustration with the characters and, quite frankly, these niggas live rent-free in my head.

So we talked about Jungkook being on that bird behaviour, asking his female best friend to be his fake girlfriend in exchange for being her fuck buddy so “help her explore her sexuality” because fucking your best friend is easier and safer than fucking a random guy and hope to the fanfic gods that this doesn’t blow up in their faces and complicate the very thing they hold sacred.

We also talked about Kiko and breaking up with Jungkook to hide that she was pregnant and had to have an abortion after they broke up instead of sitting down with her man, telling him: yo. I’m pregnant. I went to the doctor, and they said that it’s high risk. I don’t think it’s worth the risk, and I’m not ready to be a baby mama. So I wanna yeetus the fetus. And like I said, the reasons for wanting the abortion are fair and valid. Her body. Her choice. But maybe not break up with your boyfriend to “have time away from the relationship” and then get back with him, but not telling him THAT CRUCIAL DETAIL until he caught you slipping and emotionally traumatising the dude, please? Thank you.

Now, we’re going to talk about Y/N’s trifling ass coz out of all the characters in this damn story SHE was the one who infuriated me the most.

I have a…. complicated relationship with Mutual Help Y/N. She does have her moments where she’s an okay character. She’s a sassy, no bullshit girlie and the most loyal and ride or die for her homies especially Jungkook and we love that about her.

But the bitch get on my nerves every time she’s out her playing victims when her choices blow up in her face. I’m sorry (not really). And lowkey she’s an enabler.

And that’s another thing these Y/Ns and MCs do to piss me off and stress me out. Why are y’all bitches enabling and endorsing your ML’s bad decisions and bad behaviour? Especially when these niggas are asking you to do shit that could potentially put your friendship at risk and don’t even exercise or enforce your boundaries.

Coz the way girliy pop was negotiating her boundaries in this story?

Exhibit A → Agreeing to the Mutual Help despite questioning the practicality of being asked to be a fake girlfriend to win back an ex girl when a normal and emotionally mature person would just move on. But as long she gets to explore her kinks with her bestie who may or may not used their friendship and her trust in him as a negotiation tactical to get her to agree to his stupid idea. This was the first domino. The moment Y/N stopped acting like his best friend and started acting like the solution to problems he should've been solving himself

Exhibit B → Being expecting to be nice to the person who “cheated on the bestie” even though she doesn’t owe the bitch her warmth and kindness and is an unfair expectation and ask. But justified her hostility toward his boo thang is hurting and draining him and he doesn’t want to see his two girl fighting. Though to be honest, Y/N didn’t have to be overly cold, rude, petty and immature towards Kiko. Like sweetie, I know you’re angry on his behalf but dial it back a bit okay? Thanks

Exhibit C → Raw dogging and having unprotected sex TWICE at the Hawaii Trip. This wasn't just a boundary compromise.

This was an executive committee meeting of bad decisions.

Both of them.

Equally.

Nobody gets out of this one.

Because by this point they already knew:

• they were emotionally attached

• they were jealous

• they were messing with other people to make each other jealous instead of communicating

• boundaries were collapsing

Then they were like:

“Know what would help speed the process?

No condoms

EX FUCKING CUSE ME??

And still to this day I am pissed at the both of em that it took A PREGNANCY SCARE to make them be like: hmmm. yeah if we keep moving like this the consequences will really concequence and there will be no coming back from that.

AS IF PARK JERMAINE JIMIN DIDN’T WARN BOTH OF Y’ALL STUPID ASSES!!!!

There was also the incident with Y/N’s ex boyfriend, Hanuel, a college guy younger than her who she date after the Mutual Help ended. So this nigga throughout the New Years trip was noticing there was more going on in Jungkook and Y/N’s friendship. The dude ain’t stupid. So he asks her: hey. what’s your relationship with your home boy like.

Y/N is like: It’s nothing babe. We’re just really close friends.

There was a point when someone asked Y/N if she was going to tell him about her and Jungkook and she was like: well we haven’t been dating for that long so I don’t see the point in telling him.

…

Y/N that man asked you TO YOUR FACE: what’s going on.

And you think telling him that you were hooking up with your bestie before you dated him was not necessary?

Especially when your bestie was out here acting like a jealous ex boyfriend for the duration of you dating your nigga.

And that’s another thing: Jungkook how are you out here acting all jealous and hostile to your best friend’s boyfriend when you JUST GOT BACK WITH YOUR EX BITCH. YOU KNOW, THE REASON FOR YOUR MUTUAL HELP. Pick a lane my guy. You can’t have it both ways.

Back to Haneul and Y/N.

So Haneul is still fixated on the fact that Y/N aint giving him the full story. Until he asked Kiko if she’s comfortable with the type of relationship her mans has with his girl. And that’s when Kiko tells him that they used to fuck.

And Haneul wasn’t happy about that.

Not because of her sleeping with Jungkook. But because he ended up finding out the truth from someone else and not directly from her.

Now was it out of line for Kiko to be spilling Jungkook and Y/N’s business to Haneul. Yes, this was a conversation that Y/N was going to have with Haneul at her own time. But I personally think the narrative and the readers were quick to villainise Kiko just coz she answered a question she was asked. And I’m assuming that at the time she was under the assumption that Y/N had already told him just like how Jungkook told her about it. And I do believe that his question was how she felt about their friendship. Not are they fucking.

And sure, Y/N didn’t own Haneul her sex history. She didn’t have to tell Haneul that she and Jungkook were fuck. But the moment the nigga asked, “hey. what’s the tea between you and your homie”, I think giving your nigga some context or a rough idea on what your relationship with your bestie giving away too much would have sufficed instead of withholding such info and saying “we’re just friends” and say “we weren’t dating for that long so I didn’t feel the need to tell you that and no one casually mentions that on the first date.”

GIRL

The nigga could see the tension between both of y’all and how y’all were moving. Not to mention your bestie was acting like a subtle jealous boyfriend EVEN WHEN HE GOT BACK WITH HIS EX BITCH. And he had to find out the truth from the ex bitch in question.

And you’re surprised the nigga is mad at you for not being honest and felt lied to when he asked you directly what your relationship with your bestie was?

The only thing I don’t agree with Haneul was calling her a slut. That was uncalled and uneccessary. We don’t condone slut shaming.

And don’t get me started on the way Y/N was pissed at Jungkook when he brought a female friend with him, her name is Esther, to a FRIENDS’ trip.

🙂🙂🙂

Imagine being pissed at your friend for inviting another friend to a FRIENDS’ trip. Like Y/N. I though you and Golden Boy were jUsT fRiEndS. 🙃🙃🙃

Was it out of nowhere and on short notice that Jungkook decided to bring Esther to the trip. Of course, it would have been mildly annoying to add another person to the squad on such short notice. But getting mad at him from inviting a FRIEND to a trip for FRIENDS and yet this person never DID ANYTHING TO YOU EXCEPT EXIST AND BE FRIENDS WITH YOUR BESTIE and in retalitation and to be petty you invite a nigga (Yoongi) from work who BOTH OF YOU DONT LIKE just to spite him and prove a point?

I swear, these two communicate better when it comes to sex but THEIR CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS IS TRASH. They fight like CHILDREN.

They’ve done their petty cold war at the friends’ trip. They’ve done their petty cold war AGAIN at the Hawaii trip because Y/N suggested to see other people even though Jungkook expressed that he wants to spend the trip WITH HER but when he DOES hang with another chick SUDDENLY SHE’S NOT FINE WITH IT AND SHE GETS WITH THE CHICK’S BEST FRIEND JUST TO SPIT HIM?!

And both of these cold wars ended in both of em fucking.

First time was, they were hate and angry fucking in the forest after they argued again. And after that they decided to “take a break and focus on being friends”. That didn’t last until the Hawaii trip when they were angry fucking in the changing room and had unprotected sex in their room TWICE.

And the moment they DO communicate, it when it start negatively impacting their friendship.

Are y’all seeing this pattern?

Are y’all seeing what I had to put up with for damn near 60 chapters?

Are y’all seeing how EXHAUSTING these two are?

I’m out here watching these mutha fuckas like a tired friend like:

This is just the icing on the cake.

Coz the MAJOR thing that has been making my ass itch SO MUCH about Y/N was when they started sleeping with each other TWO MONTHS after Jungkook broke up with Kiko after he found out the truth.

This is just me. But how can you as the best friend after seeing how emotionally devasted and traumatised by his ex’s lies and be fine with sleeping with him again just two months after the fallout?

I mean sure, both Y/N and Jungkook consented and agreed that he wasn’t using her as a rebound and it was mutual between them and they both wanted it.

BUT.

Was it something Jungkook NEEDED.

Did he NEED his best friend to be riding his dick when he was still grieving his ex girlfriend AGAIN and refusing to go to therapy or at the very least talk to someone and unpack what Kiko’s lies did to him.

Personally. No. I don’t think. And I don’t think it was a healthy thing to do.

I expected some level of responsibility and resistence from Y/N. Like this was the ONE MOMENT where she SHOULD have been his best friend. Not the best friend he loves to fuck. Not his sex therapist. Not his parent. JUST a best friend without sex or their unresolved sexual tension feelings being thrown into the mix and being expected to fix problems he should be fixing on his own without avoidance.

And this just proved that these niggas can’t even BE friends without them sleeping with each other.

But Lizzie. Why are you putting more blame and responsibility on Y/N and acting like Jungkook didn’t have autonomy in this. He’s a grown man.

And you’re right. Jungkook is a grown man. He chose to sleep with Y/N.

But can we REALLY trust the emotionally raw and heartbroken nigga to be making logical decisions especially when all he’s been doing was avoiding addressing the Kiko thing?

Hell, I’ve been in Jungkook’s shoes when I got into a toxic situationship with a friend back when I was in uni only a year after I broke up with my boyfriend. I thought I was making an adult decision, thinking I could handle it without realising at the time I found myself in that situation because I was avoiding talking about how the break up affected me.

I wish allowed myself space to heal before jumping into a relationship with another guy coz I didn’t like the person I became when I got out of it.

But that’s just me.

So that’s where I’m at with Y/N. I’m hoping that these two ACTUALLY take putting distance between them and use that to sort their feelings without them fucking. And I’m hoping Jungkook actually unpacks the Kiko thing with someone.

Damn this was long. But I hope y’all enjoyed this segment of the Rant Café. See y’all in the next one. Byeeeeeeeeee.
