Aera had dropped Elijah off at home before heading over ballet practice. She was already dressed, all she had to do was put on her shoes and begin stretching.

She walked inside to see Dae and the other girls stretching and getting ready for the lesson.

"Oh! There she is, Aera look who came to practice with us!".

As the girl turned around, Dae almost dropped her stuff right then and there. It was Hanni, the new girl from school.

Right there.

In the ballet room.

"O-Oh um", Aera cleared her throat. "Hey, I-I didn't know you did ballet".

"Yeah I've done it since I was nine, but Dae welcomed me to lessons so I thought I would come and check it out", she replied, Dae smiling proudly.

"Well I'm gonna go put on my shoes but you guys can talk a little longer before lessons start", Dae left the two girls alone to indulge in their own conversation.

Though while they talked, Aera couldn't get over how cute in a way Hanni looked to her. Seeing her in the same leotard she wore but pink. Aera wondered if everything the girl owned was pink. Some of her hair was in a messy bun but it revealed her collarbones so well. And the way she stretched cutely but simply on the floor.

Aera did notice that her chest was flatter than other girls she's seen her age, the most she's seen in school have bigger breasts and blooming features. But, Aera wasn't someone to judge and never would be.

"Have you always liked ballet?", Hanni asked.

Aera hummed. "I've always enjoyed it, it was a bit of a random hobby I picked up but it's a passion I love. And you?"

"Ah, I learned from my aunt before she passed. She used to do ballet up until her twenties and it inspired me to do the same", Hanni grinned warmly just thinking about her aunt and the memories they made before her passing.

"I'm sure your aunt would be proud of you", Aera replied, the two of them sharing fond looks before continuing to stretch.

"She wants to do what now?", Jin asked in utter surprise, his eyes wide.

Jimin had invited the boys and Jada over to discuss that Aera wanted to join the mafia. And so far, it wasn't going that well.

"She wants to join the mafia, like we did", Jimin repeated, somehow remaining calm himself.

"And you're just gonna let her?", Yoongi asked with a pinch of attitude in his tone.

"She's my daughter, Yoongi hyung. My job is to protect her but also support her and her passions. And if she wants to do this then so be it".

"Jimin is right Yoongs, and we both agreed on it. It's not like we're letting her loose and out on her own, Jimin will guide her and teach her what she needs to know. This is what she wants to do and we're gonna support that", Armani defended.

Jin scoffs. "What the hell has gotten into you two? Do you realize how much trauma and damage this will do to her?"

Jimin sighed, trying to keep his temper under wraps. "I am more than aware of what this could do to her, I'm not stupid".

Elijah was sitting next to his Appa, seeing anger trying to build up. He realized  real man's anger was not something to mess with.

He intertwined his hand with his father's, hoping it would calm his temper. And seeing Jimin glanced at him quickly with a small smile in such a serious conversation made him feel proud of himself. He only liked to pursue quiet, kind actions but never spoke up about them in times like these.

"Okay then why are you letting her do this then hyung? She's 16 she doesn't know how this could affect her or her life. She'll have blood on her hands and she'll have to deal with the fact that she literally murdered people. Does that not bother you?", Yoongi questioned, suddenly becoming pissed himself.

"Guys calm down", Namjoon sighed as he crossed his arms. "At some point, we all learned about what we do now. Honestly, it would be more of an honor for Aera to join".

"An honor? You must be joking", Jin replied.

"No Jin hyung, I think Joon is right. We've never had a woman join before but it would be something special you know? And we would all be there to teach her", Hobi defended Namjoon.

"She is getting older guys, at some point this was gonna happen", Jada pointed out.

Jin and Yoongi looked at each other, almost as if they were having their own internal conversation. They knew they were right though. Even though this would be a bittersweet experience for Aera, this was something she wanted to do. And they didn't wanna be the ones that take that opportunity from their niece.

"We...We just care so much for the kids", Jin started.

"We're scared something bad could happen to her, or Elijah if decides he wants to do this too", Yoongi finished.

"We're not letting one thing happen to them, I promise you that", Jimin replied. Armani got up and walked over to Jin and Yoongi, giving them the warmest of hugs. She knew they meant well, they were just being protective of their niece and nephew is all.

"Everything will be okay, you just have to trust us", She told the two men, feeling them relax in her hold.

Jin was the first to pull away, wiping tears from his eyes as he sniffled. The others laughed lightly or chuckled at the sight.

"Aish be quite grown men can cry too!", Jin scolded mildly.

"Hey uh what's going on?", Aera asked as she walked in from ballet lessons.

"O-Oh", Armani said, wiping away small tears herself. "We were just talking is all, nothing too serious", she excused.

"Oh", Aera replied. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah", Jimin nodded, a little smile on his face. "Everything good, my little blossom. There's actually something we wanted to tell you", Aera say down hesitantly, scared of what they had to say.

"So we talked to your aunt and uncles about you wanting to be apart of the mafia and all, saying how this could be a big step for you", Aera nodded at her father's words.

"And that we'll be here to help guide and teach you, little flower", Hobi added with a reassuring smile.

"And so, we want to make it official. We want you to join this tradition as well and carry it on for us", Jimin confessed, seeing Aeras eyes light up with excitement. She wanted to pinch herself just to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

She quickly got up, tackling her parents in a hug.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you", she said over and over again. Everyone adored the sight, smiles and all.

Elijah was the happiest of them all, seeing her sister finally being able to go after what she wants to do. He hoped at some point he would find the sort of happiness.

Someday.

One day.
