Chapter 35

Jimin had reached his breaking point. The walls of his room had felt like a prison for too long, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

His love for Yoongi, his longing for freedom, and the realization that he couldn't be someone he wasn't had given him the courage to confront his father.

With fury burning in his eyes, Jimin stormed over to where his father was sitting, determined to make his feelings known.

His voice shook with a mix of anger and desperation as he confronted his father.

"You can't keep me locked in here, appa!"

Jimin's words echoed through the room.

"Your oppression won't change who I truly am, and you can't cage me forever. I thought you loved me enough to accept me for who I am, but maybe I was wrong. All you care about is your image and status!"

Jimin's father's face contorted with rage. He grabbed Jimin by the collar and dragged him toward the main gate.

His grip was tight, and his words were laced with venom as he spat, "You want to be free, right? Fine, I'll set you free!"

As the main door swung open, he pushed Jimin outside the house.

Jimin stumbled, his heart pounding in his chest as he teetered on the edge of falling. But just in the nick of time, a pair of strong arms caught him, preventing him from hitting the ground.

Jimin blinked through his tears to see Yoongi standing before him, his face a mixture of worry and anger.

Yoongi steadied him and stepped in front of him protectively, his eyes locked onto Jimin's father.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Yoongi's voice was seething with anger.

Jimin's father's face reddened with rage, and he shouted, "I have nothing to do with you two now! He's dead to me!"

Those harsh words struck Jimin like a dagger to the heart, and he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

They flowed uncontrollably as his father's rejection cut deep.

Yoongi couldn't believe what he had just heard. He stammered, "He's your son! How can you say something so hurtful?"

But Jimin's father was beyond reasoning. He yelled at them to get lost before he did something regretful.

Yoongi, still furious, took Jimin by the hand and led him away from the toxic environment.

They reached Yoongi's bike, and without a word, Yoongi pulled Jimin into a warm embrace. Jimin's sobs racked his body as he clung to Yoongi, his voice trembling as he asked, "Am I a bad son, hyung?"

Yoongi's anger melted away as he held Jimin close, whispering soothing words.

"No, Jimin, you're not a bad son. You're brave, and you deserve love and acceptance just like anyone else."

Jimin sniffled, wiping away tears with the back of his hand. "I love my father, but it feels like he doesn't love me for who I am."

Yoongi nodded, his arms still wrapped protectively around Jimin. "Sometimes, people are blinded by their own expectations and prejudices. It's not your fault, Jimin."

Jimin took a shuddering breath, trying to regain his composure. "What do we do now, hyung? I don't have a place to stay."

He whispered softly to Jimin, "From now on, you'll stay with me, Jimin. I won't let anyone hurt you again."

Jimin hesitated for a moment, his eyes searching Yoongi's for reassurance. After a deep breath, he nodded.
