Merry christmas!

"Ignore me, I'm sorry" Jimin sniffles, wiping at his eyes with the sleeves of his jumper. "It's nothing, I'm just being stupid".

Jungkook gazes over to Tae worriedly and then back to Jimin, moving him to sit down on the couch with both him and Tae on Jimin's right side, but Jungkook being closer, right beside him.

"Hyung, I'm sorry, should I not have introduced you to them? Did you feel awkward? Maybe I should have asked, I'm so sorry. They loved you.."

He places a comforting hand on Jimin's thigh and squeezes gently. When Jimin ends up chuckling through his tears the two guys are confused.

"No it wasn't that. Don't worry, I'm literally crying for such a dumb reason"

"Can you tell us what it is?" Taehyung prompts.

Jimin sniffles and wipes the tears away once more, before finally managing to look up to the pair. Now how was he going to say this exactly?

"I uh..." they can tell he's nervous by the way he tugs at his own sleeves, trying to avoid eye contact now too.

"It's okay" Jungkook whispers.

"Hearing....Hearing them tell me that it's okay to be gay, and just accepting me in an instant. A-And the fact they were happy to know we're dating really surprised me because....Well because my..uh..."

He's struggling a little but he knows the boys wouldn't ever rush him.

"My...My dad isn't accepting of me, and he's never told me it's okay to be as I am, he doesn't allow this. He uh...he divorced my mum because he said their son is broken and not truly a man. H-He never once since then told me he loves me. And just looks down on me for this. For being gay...He'd never allow me to bring a guy home, and to see your parents be the total opposite, so loving and caring, and to accept me right of the bat was just...overwhelming"

Some more tears fall and he ends up wiping away at them quickly, but a laugh follows after. "I'm sorry that's so stupid. To be crying over being accepted, but I guess I was also sad cos I was reminded I don't have that?"

"Baby..." Jungkook whispers out, unable to stop himself from reaching forward to embrace Jimin in a tight hug. "I'm so sorry to hear that. I...I didn't know. I didn't realise. We never talked about this"

Jimin hides his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck and exhales shakily. "I guess I never wanted to admit what a rotten dad I ended up with. I'm so grateful to your parents for saying what they did. It just..took me by surprise I guess".

Jungkook's face gives away how bad he feels for Jimin, but when he pulls away he cups the boys cheek and speaks up. "You don't need a person like him in your life you know. There are many people here who support you, and us, and love you. You're a wonderful man hyung, this doesn't take away from you in any way okay? I love you"

"I love you too" Jimin smiles through his tears.

Taehyung watches the interaction with a sad smile, allowing the pair to have their moment.

"You always will have someone to support you, and someone on your side okay? My parents adore you as you saw"

"They're really great" Jimin nods.

"They are" Taehyung adds.

"So you're okay?" Jungkook questions

"I am" Jimin exhales. "I am yeah. I'm sorry. It was just a lot"

"Is this why you've been down since coming back from Busan?" Taehyung is curious.

"I-...yeah. I guess so. My dad came down to see me hoping I was straight now or something. And he ended up just calling me more slurs, and blamed them breaking up on me and I just wasn't able to hide it well I guess".
