A few days pass.

On a fine afternoon.

Yoongi is typing something on his laptop. He receives a call from Jimin.

Over the phone.

Yoongi: Hello...

Jimin: Yoongi...

Yoongi: Tell me, baby.

Jimin: My parents are going out.

Yoongi: Okay...

Jimin: Are you free?

Yoongi presses backspace a few times and resumes typing again.

Yoongi: Kind of... I'm just composing an email.

Jimin: I suppose you're busy then.

Yoongi: No, not really.

Jimin: Can you come over?

Yoongi: Don't you have things to do?

Jimin: Not really... I already cleaned my room and... I don't really do anything else.

Yoongi: All right. I'll be there.

Jimin: Okay...

Yoongi: Mmm...

Jimin: Bye.

Yoongi: Bye, baby.

Yoongi hurriedly types the email and sends it to someone. He closes his laptop and stands up with it. He keeps it on the table next to the couch and begins to do his chores.

Quite soon, Yoongi is standing in front of Jimin's house—he is wearing a black shirt and black jean trousers buckled up with a black belt. He rings the doorbell and clears his throat.

Mrs Park opens the door and a stunned look fills Yoongi's face.

She says, 'Yoongi... Are you guys going out? Jimin didn't tell me anything... Come on in.' and opens the door wide.

He removes his footwear and walks in. He smiles a little and gulps nervously.

Mr Park walks into the living room and says, 'Let's go, honey.'

Mrs Park says, 'Sure, honey.'
Mr Park says, 'Oh... Yoongi is here.'
Yoongi says, 'Hello...'
Mr Park says, 'Hello, Yoongi.'

Jimin slowly traces the steps with his feet as he walks downstairs. He asks, 'Are you leaving already?'

Yoongi says, 'Hello, Jimin...' and smiles nervously.

Jimin says, 'Yoongi...' and trips over the last step—he is about to fall to the floor.

Yoongi rushes to Jimin and holds him. He makes Jimin stand on the floor and says, 'There you go. Be careful, Jimin.'

Jimin stutters, 'Y-yoongi... T-thank you.' and gulps nervously.

Yoongi lets go of Jimin and says, 'You're welcome.'

Mr Park says, 'Be careful, son.'
Jimin says, 'Yes, Dad.'
Mrs Park says, 'Since Yoongi is here... I think it'll be fine for us to be back home late.'
Jimin asks, 'What do you mean, Mum?'
Mrs Park answers, 'Well... We can be at ease because someone is here with you.'
Yoongi says, 'Jimin will be fine on his own... Don't you think, Jimin?'

Mr Park says, 'He used to say the same until he fell and fractured his left forearm a year ago.'
Yoongi says, 'Oh... I didn't know that.'
Jimin says, 'Dad...'
Mr Park says, 'All right. We'll be back home late then.'
Jimin says, 'Okay.'
Mr Park says, 'Bye...'
Mrs Park says, 'Bye, both of you.'
Jimin says, 'Bye, Mum... Dad.'

Yoongi smiles at Jimin's parents and they walk out of the house—Mrs Park closes the door on her way out.

Jimin says, 'Lock the door and come upstairs.' and begins to walk upstairs.

Yoongi locks the door and follows Jimin.

Jimin walks into his room and sits on the couch. He sulks with a long face.

Yoongi adjusts his shirt and sits next to Jimin on the couch.

Jimin presses his lips tight and sits still.

Yoongi asks, 'How do I look?'
Jimin answers, 'I don't know. I can't see you. I don't even remember your face.'
Yoongi says, 'Ah... I'm sorry.'

Jimin does not respond.

Yoongi asks, 'Why are you sulking now?'

Jimin does not answer Yoongi's question.

Yoongi says, 'Jimin... Baby, I'm talking to you.'

Jimin leans on the couch but does not say a word.

Yoongi cups Jimin's face and makes him face the former.

Jimin brushes Yoongi's hands away and sulks again.

Yoongi asks, 'What happened?' and breathes deeply. He continues, 'Did I do something wrong?'

Jimin parts his lips open but does not utter a word.

Yoongi says, 'All right. Someone doesn't wanna talk. Let me go home then.' and stands up.

Jimin manages to hold Yoongi's hand and says, 'Don't go yet.'

Yoongi sits back on the couch and says, 'Then tell me why you're sulking.'

Jimin lets go of Yoongi's hand and says, 'My parents saw you.'

Yoongi asks, 'So what?'
Jimin answers, 'I wanted to keep it low.'
Yoongi says, 'You said that they were going out.'
Jimin says, 'I did, Yoongi, but I didn't know that you'd be in front of my door within a couple of minutes. You said that you were composing an email.'

Yoongi asks, 'I can't make my baby wait for me, can I?'
Jimin says, 'Stop flirting.'
Yoongi says, 'I'm not flirting, Jimin. I mean it.'
Jimin says, 'I guess you sent the email.'
Yoongi says, 'I did.'
Jimin says, 'Okay...'

Yoongi asks, 'Why did you ask me to come over though? Do you want me to read a book?'
Jimin answers, 'Nope...'
Yoongi says, 'I can do anything... What can I do for you?'
Jimin says, 'I want you to take me into your arms.'
Yoongi asks, 'It's not what I think, is it?'

Jimin reaches for Yoongi's shirt and manages to hold his collars. He pulls Yoongi closer and flashes a flirty smile.

Jimin whispers, 'Yoongi... Fuck me.'
