After looking around the painting in the room behind the closed door, Jimin called his Dada Namjoon nervously.
"Jimin don't hesitate to ask anything. Because soon it will become very rare for you to see me. So don't hesitate for anything baby." Namjoon smiled at him and said.
"Nothing dada. I just thought to say how beautiful these paintings are. Not even the paintings we kept outside are this beautiful. Why did you hide this from everyone dada?" Jimin asked with his innocent eyes.
On the other hand Namjoon was on cloud nine. He hugged Jimin tightly and pecked all over his face. Jimin giggled at that. "Ooo my dear! Just your appreciation is enough for me. I don't even want anyother person to acknowledge my art. Just you are enough for me. I'm so happy now." Namjoon said and teared up lightly.
"But dada, why are you hidding your talent inside a closed door? Are you nervous about your skill? Dada..... look how beautiful they are! These paintings look so lively. But why you kept these in dark dada? Why you don't you let people see these arts and enjoy?" Jimin was confused is an understatement. He felt furious because he thought his father was having a low self esteem.
Namjoon said, " Honey, my Jimin, Listen to me dear. I'm not feeling myself low dear. This world will appreciate only the people who have power and wealth in their hands. You know th old king of Goryeo right? King Jung-joon-jae? One time, he gathered an art councelling. There they gave him a title called, "Lion of arts". But those arts are just common one. Still, no one dared to degrade it. Same as him, King Hoseok also had many titles. Do you know why? Because he had a huge huge army. Because his Goryeo kingdom was wide and vast. Baby, God will never show any difference or partiality. King and a mere beggar is same for god. But we people think that even God is on the sides of people who are powerful. Both king Joon-jae and Hoseok are good in acting. They fooled the people with their acting. Every person desired to visit the art gallery of Goryeo kingdom. They will praise them. Because they are from powerful people. That is why I don't want to show these to people. Until Silla is like this, under control of someother kingdom, people will say that, 'Ooo! Namjoon started to draw? Ya ya..... he have no work so what will he do'. People will make fun of me. Jimin, you have forget another one thing....." Namjoon stopped his talk there.
"What is it dada?" Jimin asked him.
"These are not just drawn to show my skill in painting. But these are my dreams Jimin. These dreams kept me awake in nights. They never let my heart at peace. If people see this now, they will talk like, 'Namjoon is desperate for something he can never reach' or 'How can Namjoon be this selfish'. So that's why I kept this room dark and locked. When these paintings happen in our real life, when my dreams become true, only then this locked doors can be opened for public. But it will never happen in my life time Jimin. I wish this will come true atleast in your reign. That is my desire now. This is why I'm not taking you with me to the war. Do you understand dear?" Namjoon asked Jimin calmly.
"Yes dada. I understand." Jimin nodded his head.
"You have to live for fulfilling my dreams baby. The glory of Silla should be your ONLY focus. You have to work hard day and night for that baby. Our tiger flag should never bow to any other kingdom's flag. I will leave for the war day after tomorrow. I'm not sure about my return alive, Jimin. Baby, the ancient books says that, who ever loses their life in a war will go to the heroic paradise. But I won't go there. I will return to Silla as a spirit, and roam over our han river and see how our Silla grows with its glory. My soul will be roaming in the fields of our Silla kingdom. That time, if i hear people saying, 'Namjoon's son Jimin made it. He made our Silla a powerful country once again.' That is more than enough for me Jimin. Only then I will rest in peace. Baby, do you promise me that you will do that for me??? Will you fulfill my dreams?? Promise me darling.....? " Namjoon showed his pinky to Jimin.
Jimin who is listening to his father locked his pinky with his father's and made promise. His eyes were sheding tears non-stop and he said, "I will do it dada. Jimin will make you proud. I will surely fulfill your dreams dada." Jimin hugged Namjoon and sobbed on his chest. He loved his dada alot. The thought of losing him made him go insane.
Yoongi who kept listening all these time, also teared up. He hold his mouth with his free hand not to let out any sob, so it won't disturb the father and son.
Namjoon looked at his side and saw Yoongi standing at a corner holding his mouth. "Yoongi! You heared everything right? As I'm leaving, I need some trustworthy persons to protect my child. He is still not matured enough to understand the wicked people. That's why I'm asking you to stay behind. I trust you Yoongi. So stay here and look after my family, my Son. You will do that right?" Namjoon asked.
With wobbling lips, Yoongi said, "I will do as your command, my king".
Hearing that, Namjoon smiled and hugged Jimin even more tighter to cherish his last minutes he have with his son.
