"Appa ?" Hoseok repeated the word after him with a candid feel of realisation.

Keeping his gummy smile intact, yoongi removed his huge hat from his head and cowered down onto the bed which was nearby and sat on it swiftly. He looked  at hoseok with his sharp but cute cat like eyes and patted on the bed twice  "Come hoba, sit down with appa. Let's talk..." he spoke calmly.

With a little hesitation hoseok stepped forward and quietly sat down beside the imaginary man. He looked at yoongi with eyes mixed with with guilt and fear and questioned again..
"Appa ?"

"Hob-ah, you know exactly what this means, it's time for things to change" yoongi spoke while lightly patting on hoseok's head as if trying to comfort him already.

"But————" huge tears were already gathering in hoseok's glossy dark eyes but before he could speak anything—yoongi cut him off right away.

" You know, your dad seokjin was so brave........, he wasn't scared of anyone—he wasn't scared of this shallow world or his cruel family members. Your father had  literally confessed his love to me in front of the entire city, he just dint give a shit" Yoongi boasted with a proud smile. Then he looked at hoseok with a playful but heartfelt expression and teased—— "But you hoba, you aren't as brave as him"

Hoseok scoffed with a light sob, he dint have words to speak. He had overshadowed the darkest truth of his life till date.........but now—-at last, he was confronting with his problems. His head ached as he remembered everything. Those happy days with his family, his lovely Dad and appa being there for him. He remembered everything, their undoubted and selfless love for him, the joyful laughter of his childhood, that pretty smile on his dad's face whenever he talked about his appa. His wailed loudly as he remembered that unfaithful day at the circus, hoseok caught his brown locks in frustration as he remembered those dark nights he had spent alone missing his parents.  Shutting his eyes tightly he remembered how he wasn't able to tell a simple 'I LOVE YOU' to his appa.

Yoongi lightly patted hoseok's back with comfort while the brunette sobbed relentlessly. knowing that the brunette was hearing it all despite having a breakdown he continued with a sad tone.

"Hoba maybe your not as brave as your father but that does not mean that your not strong, your the strongest person I know, I want you to let go of all that guilt from that pure heart of yours, my baby— why did you ponder over a simple 'I love you' your entire life ? ."

"Appa, I'm a coward !" Hoseok shouted as he whimpered and cried and onto yoongi's shoulder. "I'm a damn coward appa, I couldn't even express my love to you, I wasn't a good son. You always stayed far from me and dad and worked so hard to be with us. I just wanted to tell you how much I missed you, loved you and admired you ——-but I couldn't !"

Yoongi lifted hoseok's head and cupped it gently with his hands. He looked at hoseok with a feeling of endure and spoke softly  "You silly child, you dont have to express anything.........appa already knows that you love him even without proving it." He let go of hoseok's face and looked at the floor and continued with a broken voice "Your not a coward hoseok, it's me—-I'm the coward !, you always wanted to run away with me, but this worthless magician of yours couldn't offer you anything other than a painful life, I SORRY HOBA, PLZ FORGIVE your APPA" 

Hoseok shook his head violently—-disagreeing to the statement addressed, he cried louder and dint utter a word because of his choked whimpers.

After a while of comfort, Yoongi got up from the bed and put on this huge hat, he looked at hoseok with a small smile and said
