What's One More

Clarity

The three weeks away had given Jimin clarity or so he thought. The moment he stepped out of the car and Jungkook rushed into his arms with a little whimper, the clarity flew out the window. He thought he was coming here to tell Yoongi to give him some space, that maybe they weren't on the same page, but he is having a hard time sticking to that resolve.

Yoongi had insisted on taking him to lunch, just him. Jimin's heart plummets lower with each passing moment that they are in the car together. Should he do it? Should he tell Yoongi to leave him alone? To let him take a step back. Was that the best thing for him? For Taehyung and Jin or was he just running away?

Jimin seems so dejected right now and it makes Yoongi about ten times more nervous about where they are heading. Yoongi pulls into the driveway of their destination.

"Where are we?" Jimin sits up straight and stares at the approaching house.

"We're here to look at a house," Yoongi says shortly.

"Yoongi!" Jimin protests as Yoongi parks. A woman waves at them from the front steps.

"Just look at it, ok? That's all I'm asking!" He tries to keep the desperation out of his voice but he doesn't know if he's succeeding. Jimin's jaw is tight and he looks like he wants to say some not so nice things, but he just nods and gets out of the car.

Jimin closes the door a little bit harder than he needs to. He's not sure why he feels irritated, maybe it's the simple fact that he feels like he's been ambushed, like Yoongi's pushing too hard. He shivers as he looks up at the house, the biting winter air making itself known. The house is a modest two story house, mostly white with dark brown accents. There's a large front porch with a bench and some covered patio furniture along with a small front yard.

Yoongi takes his hand and leads him to the woman waiting for them, "Jimin this is Park Daeun, she showed me the house last week." She has a cute, warm smile, not fake or chirpy like Jimin expected. She's probably in her late thirties. Her shoulders are pulled back, her posture is inviting and confident. Her make up understated and everything about her groomed well in a way that shows she cares, but not enough to let it consume her. She extends a hand to him.

"A pleasure to meet you Jimin! Come in, let's get you out of the cold!" She leads the way inside. In the doorway she switches her wet shoes for house shoes and hangs up her jacket. Yoongi and Jimin do the same.

"So Yoongi told me you teach dance professionally, how long have you been doing that?" She asks politely with another warm grin.

"A few years now," Jimin smiles in spite of himself.

"Dancing is such a beautiful form of expression! And Yoongi said you have a few more artists in the family?" She walks them into a living area.

"We both have exotic cat hybrids who are artists," Jimin comments, impressed she remembers what Yoongi told her last week. Jimin looks around the room. The walls are a pleasant white, the ceilings high and the windows large letting in beautiful sunlight. "Speaking of cats," he gestures to the windows and Yoongi smiles in response.

"That's one of the best features of this house, lots of windows," Daeun smiles, "There are two living areas, which is nice with a bigger household." She begins to move through the living area and towards the back of the house. They turn left and walk past glass doors that open up onto a large backyard to the right and into another open area on the left. This area also has large windows and high ceilings, but the main feature is the artificial fireplace. Jimin groans internally, he can already picture Y/N and Tae curled up in front of it.
