(IV) 'N-no... Nothing's wrong.'

The next day.

Yoongi is sitting at the dining table wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath—he is shaking his legs anxiously grabbing Mrs Min's attention.

Mrs Min asks, 'What's wrong, boy? Why on earth are you shaking your legs like that?'
Mr Min asks, 'Is something wrong?'
Yoongi answers, 'N-no... Nothing's wrong.'

Mrs Min sighs and joins Mr Min and Yoongi for breakfast.

Sometime later, Mrs Min is doing the dishes in the kitchen—she seems to be alone at home.

The doorbell is heard.

Mrs Min closes the tap and wipes her hands dry. She walks out of the kitchen and steps into the living room. She opens the door and spots Mrs Park.

Mrs Min says, 'Ji-Yeon... Come on in.' and opens the door wide.

Mrs Park walks in and Mrs Min closes the door.

Mrs Min continues, 'Make yourself at home. I'll bring some juice.'
Mrs Park says, 'Uh... I have something important to talk to you about.'
Mrs Min says, 'Okay...'
Mrs Park says, 'It's about Jimin and Yoongi.'

Mrs Min's eyes darken.

Quite soon, Mrs Min and Mrs Park are sitting on the couches, facing each other.

Mrs Min asks, 'What is it?'
Mrs Park answers, 'I couldn't believe what I heard.'
Mrs Min asks, 'What did you hear?'
Mrs Park answers, 'Yoongi called Jimin yesterday. He was sleeping and I was the one who answered the call.'

Mrs Min asks, 'Did Yoongi say something stupid?'
Mrs Park answers, 'He called Jimin "Baby".'
Mrs Min says, 'Well...'
Mrs Park says, 'And I think they... Uh...'
Mrs Min asks, 'Slept together?'

Mrs Park nods once in response.

Mrs Min sighs and says, 'I knew Yoongi was up to something.'

Mrs Park says, 'I just can't believe this, Yoo-Jin. I thought they were good friends.'
Mrs Min asks, 'Did Jimin tell you anything?'
Mrs Park answers, 'No...'
Mrs Min says, 'Yoongi hasn't said anything either.'

Mrs Park asks, 'Should I just go ahead and ask Jimin what's going on?'
Mrs Min answers, 'They aren't comfortable talking about their relationship yet. Let's give them some time.'
Mrs Park says, 'Uh... Will that be okay?'
Mrs Min says, 'Yes.'

Mrs Park says, 'I just don't know how to handle this.'
Mrs Min says, 'Don't stress yourself over this.'
Mrs Park says, 'I don't know if I'm supposed to have a problem with this.'
Mrs Min says, 'Don't forget that Jimin is still your son.'
Mrs Park says, 'Yeah...'

Mrs Min says, 'All right. Let me bring some juice...' and stands up. She asks, 'Do you want some wine maybe?'

Mrs Park asks, 'Wine? What is that for?'
Mrs Min answers, 'To celebrate.'
Mrs Park asks, 'Celebrate what?'
Mrs Min answers, 'Come on, Ji-Yeon. Your son has found a lover and it happens to be my son. It does deserve a celebration.'
Mrs Park says, 'I hope you're not being sarcastic.'
Mrs Min says, 'Absolutely not.'

Mrs Park chuckles softly in response.

Mrs Min exclaims, 'Time for some wine!' and walks off.

Sometime later, Mrs Park walks into her house and closes the door. She locks it and spots Jimin sitting on the couch.

She asks, 'Is something wrong, dear?' and thinks for a moment. She continues, 'Do you have anything to tell me?'

He gulps nervously and says, 'Yes, Mum.'

She asks, 'What is it?' and sits on the couch next to him.

He inhales shakily and answers, 'Mum... I'm bisexual.'

She says, 'Oh... That means...'
He says, 'I like both men and women.'
She says, 'I understand.'
He says, 'And Yoongi...'
She asks, 'What about him?'
He answers, 'Yoongi is my boyfriend.'

She sighs and says, 'I know.'

He asks, 'You answered the call yesterday, didn't you?'
She answers, 'Yes... I'm sorry, sweetheart. You were fast asleep and I didn't want the phone to wake you up.'
He says, 'I hope Yoongi didn't say anything inappropriate.'
She says, 'No...'

He lets out a sigh of relief.

She asks, 'How long has it been going on?'
He answers, 'It's a complicated question.'
She says, 'All right. Let's call Yoongi and his parents home tonight. We can discuss further then.'
He says, 'Okay, Mum.'

She says, 'Things are new to me... I don't even know how to handle this. I hope I'm not being rude to you, sweetheart.'
He says, 'No, Mum. You're not being rude. You can handle everything very well.'

She flashes a warm smile in response.
