"Um, would you like to come in?" Jimin wonders. He gestures towards the living room that Jeongyeon can see from the doorway, with unsureness in his eyes.

Jeongyeon simply nods, and enters the house. It's small and cozy. Looking like a typical log cabin, one that you might see in a movie or tv show. The furniture is wood based, and the area rugs look worn and frayed. There's a small kitchen towards the left of the living room, and Jeongyeon can see a set of stairs to her right. Indicating a second floor, that probably houses bedrooms. Jimin's bedroom.

She gently places herself on the couch. Watching, as Jimin remains standing. He's looking around, refusing to make eye contact with her as he fiddles with the rings on his fingers. He radiates nervousness, but doesn't seem too uncomfortable with Jeongyeon's presence. He, overall, seems insecure and Jeongyeon doesn't know why.

"It's been a while." She says, still watching Jimin.

Jimin looks at her, and nods his head in agreement. "How did you find me?"

"Does that really matter?" Jeongyeon wonders. It shouldn't matter how she found him. The only thing that should matter is the fact that she did find him, finally.

"You had help, I'm assuming." Jimin continues.

"I had a little help, yes. And before you ask, no I'm not naming names."

Jimin can see the finality on Jeongyeon's features, and decides to drop the subject for now. "Why are you here?"

Jeongyeon isn't sure why Jimin is asking this question. Surely her presence should indicate why she needed to find him. Why she's here.

"Isn't it obvious?" She questions. Watching as Jimin stiffens. "It's time Jimin."

Jimin immediately halts all movement, and starts shaking his head. "No."

Jeongyeon sighs. She knew there would be resistance. "Yes, Jimin. You need to come back with me to Olympus. It's time to be betrothed."

Again, Jimin shakes his head and begins to back away from her. He accidentally bumps into an arm chair, the occurrence stilling his movements. He continues to stare at Jeongyeon. Slight fear nestled in his eyes. The sight is making Jeongyeon's heart break. Jimin looks like a caged animal.

"No." Is the only thing Jimin can think of to say.

Jeongyeon sighs again, and feels her heart constrict. "I know this isn't what you want for your life. But it must be done."

"No." Jimin repeats. Sounding like a broken record.

"Jimin, please-" Jeongyeon gets cut off from her exclamation, by a shout.

"No!" Jimin yells. There's a sudden clash of thunder from outside, and lightening strikes not too long after. Jeongyeon knows that Jimin's emotions are now controlling the weather.

Her patience for the situation has officially vanished due to raise in tone, and she is officially done being nice. She was going to plead with Jimin, make him understand how important it is that they become betrothed. She was going to explain to him the importance of going back to Olympus. But that has all flown out of the window, now.

Her breathing intensifies, and her hands ball into fists. She rises from the couch in an intimidating manner. Facing Jimin with a defensive body posture. All of the exhaustion, mental strain, and confusion from the past few days flooding her emotions instantly, Jeongyeon wants to yell. She wants to fight.

"Goddammit!" She curses. "Stop being so fucking stubborn Jimin! We are going back to Olympus to become betrothed and that is final!"

She can see Jimin's heckles raise, as well. His body posture becomes defensive as he approaches her. "I will not marry you!" Jimin yells back.
