The next day.

In the evening, Yoongi is typing something on his laptop sitting on the couch in his bedroom—he looks tense.

A few knocks are heard.

Mrs Min says in a questioning tone, 'Yoongi...?'

He asks, 'What is it, Mum?'
She asks, 'Are you free right now?'
He answers, 'No, Mum. I'm busy right now.'
She asks, 'Ah, can't you come here for a few minutes?'
He answers, 'No, Mum. I'm really busy.'

Without another word, she walks off.

He clicks his tongue and thinks for a minute. He resumes typing on his laptop.

An hour passes.

Yoongi closes his laptop and keeps it on the couch. He walks to the door and opens it. He steps out and walks downstairs. He spots Mrs Min walking into the house.

He frowns upon noticing her.

She says, 'I went to give the vanilla muffins to Jimin.' and closes the door.

He asks, 'What?'
She asks, 'What?'
He answers, 'I mean... Why didn't you tell me?'
She asks, 'Didn't you say that you were busy?'
He answers, 'I did, Mum... But... You could have just said that you wanted me to meet Jimin.'

She says, 'I didn't want you to meet Jimin. I just wanted you to hand over the muffins to Jimin.'
He says, 'It's the same, Mum.'
She says, 'Come on, Yoongi. Chill a bit.'
He says, 'I can't, Mum.'
She says, 'He's just a friend, Yoongi. It's not like you're gonna marry him, is it?'

He gulps nervously and asks, 'Can I?'

She asks, 'What?'
He asks, 'I mean, can I go?'
She asks, 'Go where?'
He answers, 'To my room.'
She asks, 'Why are you asking me for that?'
He answers, 'Nothing.'

She frowns in response.

He walks off to his bedroom and grabs his phone from the bedside table. He makes a call to Jimin and gulps anxiously.

Over the phone.

Yoongi: Hello...

Jimin: Yoongi...

Yoongi: What are you doing?

Jimin: Uh... I was just having the muffins Aunt Min gave me.

Yoongi sits on the bed and eventually lies on it.

Yoongi: I'm sorry.

Jimin: What?

Yoongi: I should have come to meet you.

Jimin: It's okay... I asked Aunt Min and she said that you were busy.

Yoongi: I was working on a file...

Jimin: Oh... I see.

Yoongi: What day is it tomorrow?

Jimin: It's Friday.

Yoongi: Ah, right. I'll be home by three in the evening. Are you free tomorrow?

Jimin: Uh... I'm always home, Yoongi. I don't really have anything to do.

Yoongi: How about we hang out tomorrow?

Jimin: Uh...

Yoongi: I'll take care of everything. Don't worry.

Jimin: I don't know... I should probably stay home.

Yoongi: Don't you trust me?

Jimin: I do... It's not about that.

Yoongi: Things have changed, huh?

Jimin: There are things that don't change, Yoongi.

Yoongi: Like what?

Jimin: Just forget it.

Yoongi: Tell me. I wanna know.

Jimin: I'm not telling you, lazy boy!

Yoongi chuckles in response.

Jimin: What?

Yoongi: Nothing... It sounds cute.

Jimin: What?

Yoongi: The way you talk is always cute.

Jimin: Stop joking.

Yoongi: I'm not joking, Jimin. Do you know something?

Jimin: What?

Yoongi: I like your voice.

Jimin chuckles shyly in response.

Yoongi: I mean it.

Jimin: I'd appreciate it if you could stop flirting.

Yoongi: Why do you think I'm flirting?

Jimin: Well... You're complimenting me for no reason.

Yoongi: I do have a reason.

Jimin: What is it?

Yoongi: I'll tell you if you hang out with me tomorrow.

Jimin: What if you don't tell me?

Yoongi: I keep my word, Jimin.

Jimin: Okay, I trust you.

Yoongi: Let's hang out tomorrow. Yeah?

Jimin: Mmm...

Yoongi: Thank you!

Jimin giggles in response.

Yoongi: I wanna see you smile.

Jimin: Yoongi... You're being a naughty boy now.

Yoongi: Well, I can be anything... For you.

Jimin: Okay...

Yoongi: Are you shy?

Jimin: Why would I be... Shy?

Yoongi: I don't know...

Yoongi hears a couple of knocks on the door.

Yoongi: Just a minute.

Jimin: Okay...

Yoongi asks, 'Who's it?'
Mr Min answers, 'It's me, Yoongi. I've sent you a file attached to an email. Check it.'
Yoongi says, 'Okay.'

Yoongi: Jimin, I'll talk to you later.

Jimin: All right.

Yoongi: Bye, Jimin.

Jimin: Bye...

Yoongi hangs up and gets up from the bed. He walks to the couch and grabs his laptop. He sits on the couch and starts to work on his laptop.
