Chapter 26

Yoongi sat alone on a bench in Banpo Park, his eyes fixed on the gentle flow of the Han River.

The events of the day still weighed heavily on his mind, especially what had happened with Jin today.
He couldn't shake off the worry that had settled in his heart.

As he sat lost in thought, he felt a presence beside him.

Startled, he turned to see Jimin standing there, concern etched on his face.

"Yoongi, what's on your mind?" Jimin asked softly.

Yoongi didn't immediately respond, but Jimin's eyes widened as he noticed tears glistening in Yoongi's eyes.

Panic surged through him. "Hyung, what's wrong?"

Yoongi took a deep breath, trying to compose himself before he spoke.

"It's about Jin."

Jimin's expression grew more worried. "What about him?"

Yoongi's voice was filled with sadness as he began to share the painful truth.

"Jin is gay, and his journey of accepting himself hasn't been easy. His parents didn't accept his sexuality, and they abandoned him."

Jimin's eyes filled with tears as he listened to Yoongi's words. He couldn't imagine the pain Jin must have gone through.

Yoongi continued, his voice trembling slightly.

"He would cry for his parents, but they never came to take him back. He ended up living in an orphanage until his aunt found out about his situation and took him in. He's been living with her since then, but he still misses his parents."

Jimin's heart ached for Jin. "It's so wrong for parents to treat their child that way just because of their sexuality."

Yoongi nodded in agreement. "Exactly, Jimin. That's what's so sick about our society. They don't understand that being gay is just a part of who someone is. Nobody chooses it, and nobody should be abandoned or mistreated because of it."

Jimin felt a surge of anger and sadness. "It's heartbreaking. How could anyone think being gay is a shame?"

Yoongi continued to share Jin's story, "And it didn't end there. Throughout his middle school years, Jin was often called names and bullied because of who he is. Until he met Namjoon."

Jimin listened attentively, knowing how important Namjoon was to Jin. "Namjoon hyung?"

Yoongi nodded. "Namjoon was always there to protect Jin whenever somebody tried to make fun of him or hurt him in any way. And then we met them, Hoseok and me, and we became friends. Now, Namjoon and I together protect Jin."

Jimin couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for Namjoon and his friends. "That's incredible. You guys are like a family."

Yoongi sighed, wiping away a tear that had escaped his eye. "We are, Jimin. We've been through a lot together, and we'll always stand by each other."

Feeling overwhelmed with emotions, Jimin suddenly wrapped his arms around Yoongi in a tight hug. "Everything will be alright, hyung. We'll make sure of it."

Yoongi returned the embrace, holding Jimin close. "Thank you, Jimin. Your care means the world to me."

Jimin pulled back slightly and reached into his bag, taking out two bottles of orange juice.

He handed one to Yoongi, offering a small smile. "I know how much you like orange juice. Let's spend some time together, just the two of us."

Grateful for Jimin's gesture, Yoongi smiled back. "Thank you, Jimin-ah. I couldn't ask for a better friend and partner."
