"Are you going to tell me why the hell I found makeup in your dresser or are you going to sit there looking like a fish out of water?"

Jimin's nerves are throught the roof. He doesn't even know what to say. He wonders if his mother saw what had just happened with him and Yoongi. His lips feel a bit cold from the lack of Yoongi's on them so he licks at them while staring at the ground.

His mother steps forward and analyzes his face, especially at the light eye makeup he wore tonight. "You're wearing makeup...where did you even get it from?"

"Taehyung..." Jimin says quietly, fiddling with Leonardo. His mom glances down at the thing before snatching it out of his hands.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from that boy? He's negatively influencing you!" She scoffs, shoving the narwhal to the floor.

Jimin sighs and meets his mother's gaze. He tries, he really tries not to cry but the tears well up and his throat becomes restricted. This isn't the first time he's had this conversation with his mother but she just doesn't listen.

"I'm gay mom."

"No, you're not."

He sniffs, wiping under his eyes as his mascara starts to run. "I-I like makeup, mom. It makes me f-feel pretty-"

"You're a boy, Jimin. You're not supposed to be pretty." She huffs, rolling her eyes.

"I also like Y-Yoongi hyung. He makes me feel safe-"

His mother rarely loses her temper but when she does, she becomes similar to his father. Out of angry impulse, she pulls her hand back and slaps him in the face. Jimin's eyes widen as he steps back, cowering away as his mother's eyes also widen at what she had just done. In her own eyes, there are tears, but they don't fall.

Jimin is still for a second, reddening cheek burning from the impact of the hit. His heart is sunken, feeling like it was crushed. His mother would never understand how he feels. She'd never understand how much pain he lives with knowing that all he wants is for her to accept him.

With the break of a sob escaping his mouth, he rushes past her. He slams the door to his room, unable to lock it because his dad had taken the lock off years ago, and slumps against the wood.

His head hurts and all he wants to do is cry. So that's what he does. He turns off his lights and crawls under his blanket. It takes about thirty minutes for him to finally stop and another thirty minutes to fully calm down. His phone vibrates in his back pocket and he pulls it out, winces at the bright screen.
