(VII) 'Your boyfriend isn't going anywhere leaving you behind.'

Mrs Min says, 'Yoongi and Jimin have something to tell us.'
Mrs Park says, 'Yoo-Jin and I know it already because they told us first. It's time for them to tell you both.'
Mr Park asks, 'What is it?'
Mr Min asks, 'Yoongi, did you mess up your work?'

Jimin says, 'It's not about work, Uncle Min.' and gulps nervously.

Yoongi says, 'I'm pansexual.'
Mr Min asks, 'What?'
Yoongi answers, 'And I'm dating Jimin.'
Mr Park asks, 'What?'
Jimin answers, 'I'm bisexual.'
Mr Min says, 'I don't think I understand.'
Yoongi says, 'Dad... I like all genders and Jimin is into both men and women. Also, I'm dating Jimin.'

Mr Min asks, 'Did you know about this, Yoo-Jin?'
Mrs Min answers, 'I kind of assumed earlier. He talked to me about it yesterday.'
Mr Min asks, 'Why am I the last person to know this?'
Yoongi answers, 'Dad... I'm sorry... I was scared that you might turn out to be homophobic.'

Mr Min says, 'It's all right. I'm okay with this. Yeah?'
Mr Park says, 'Jimin... You'll always be my son. Nothing can change it. Do you hear me?'
Jimin says, 'Yes, Dad.'
Mrs Min says, 'Let's give them some time to see if they're serious about this.'

Mr Park says, 'Yes, boys. Do you have plans to get married?'
Yoongi says, 'We haven't decided anything yet.'
Mr Park says, 'Our son... Jimin is blind. I don't want that to be an issue in the future.'
Yoongi says, 'I understand, Uncle Park.'

Jimin flashes a shy smile.

Quite soon, Yoongi and Jimin are standing on the balcony—the former's eyes are musing on the sky.

Jimin asks, 'Are you here, Yoongi?'

Yoongi steps closer to Jimin and embraces him by his waist from the side.

Yoongi whispers in Jimin's ear, 'Your boyfriend isn't going anywhere leaving you behind.'

Jimin chuckles softly and leans on Yoongi's left shoulder.

Yoongi asks, 'Do you wanna get married?'
Jimin answers, 'I've always wanted to get married.'
Yoongi says, 'I didn't know that.'
Jimin asks, 'What about you?'
Yoongi answers, 'I never really gave it a thought.'

Jimin asks, 'Why?'
Yoongi answers, 'Because I thought I lost you forever.'
Jimin asks, 'You wanted to marry me, didn't you?'
Yoongi answers, 'Yes, baby.'
Jimin says, 'Hold my hand.'

Yoongi holds Jimin's hand and brushes it a little. A smile gleams on Jimin's lips as Yoongi's noisy bracelet makes a noise.

Jimin leans on Yoongi's shoulder and takes a deep breath.

Yoongi says, 'I was worried for nothing.'
Jimin says, 'But it's understandable. You weren't worried for nothing. It's just that we're lucky.'
Yoongi asks, 'Do you believe in luck?'
Jimin answers, 'Maybe.'

Yoongi plants a kiss on Jimin's head and gazes at the sky.

Mrs Park is watching Yoongi and Jimin. She smiles a little and walks off.

A few days pass.

On a fine evening.

Yoongi and Jimin are sitting on the couch in the latter's bedroom. A disturbed look fills Jimin's face.

Yoongi says, 'You should have joined them.'
Jimin says, 'I don't wanna go, Yoongi.'
Yoongi asks, 'Why?'
Jimin answers, 'I'm scared.'
Yoongi asks, 'Why are you scared?'
Jimin answers, 'Things could go wrong.'

Yoongi holds Jimin's hand and strokes it as he says, 'They're your parents, baby. They can take care of you better than me. If you didn't have to face any problems while you went out with me, what's gonna be the trouble if you go out with your parents?'

Jimin says, 'I trust you, Yoongi.'
Yoongi asks, 'Don't you trust your parents?'
Jimin answers, 'I do trust them... I just don't wanna make them feel worried.'
Yoongi asks, 'What do you mean?'
Jimin answers, 'If something goes wrong, they'll be worried.'

Yoongi says, 'That's okay. It's normal for your parents to feel worried about you.'
Jimin says, 'I don't want them to worry.'
Yoongi says, 'I can understand... But... You know...'
Jimin says, 'You don't know how much my mum cried when the doctor said that I've gone blind.'

Yoongi says, 'I'm not trying to give you false hope but... I believe your corneal transplant will be done soon.'
Jimin says, 'If it ever happens... I want you to be the first person I see.'
Yoongi asks, 'Why me?'
Jimin answers, 'Because you'll be my husband.'
Yoongi asks, 'What?'

Jimin answers, 'I wanna marry you.'
Yoongi asks, 'Are you sure?'
Jimin answers, 'Yes, I'm more than sure.'
Yoongi says, 'But you wanted to get the surgery done before marriage.'
Jimin says, 'I did say that... But...'
Yoongi asks, 'But what?'

Jimin takes his head off Yoongi's shoulder and answers, 'I lost you once already. I don't wanna lose you again.'

Yoongi chuckles softly and says, 'You never lost me, baby. We just stayed away from each other. You've always been in my mind. That's also a reason why I never got into any relationships. I wanted to stay loyal to you even though we weren't close to each other.'

Jimin says, 'How can I let go of such a gem? That's why I wanna marry you.'
Yoongi asks, 'Should we talk to our parents?'
Jimin asks, 'Are you ready for that?'
Yoongi answers, 'Of course. I'm not scared anymore.'

Jimin hums in response and rests his head on Yoongi's shoulder again. Yoongi begins to stroke Jimin's waist over his T-shirt.
