(VIII) 'Can you dance with me?'

The next day.

Jimin sits at the dining table with a long face. He starts to nibble on his food, grabbing Yoongi's attention.

Yoongi sits at the dining table and presses his lips tight. He watches Jimin nibble on his food for a minute.

Yoongi asks, 'Is something wrong?' making Jimin flinch.

Yoongi says, 'I mean... Maybe we can fix things...'
Jimin says, 'Father called me.'
Yoongi says, 'Oh... Did he upset you?'
Jimin says, 'All he does is irritate me.'

Yoongi presses his lips tight and gazes at Jimin.

Jimin grabs a piece of lettuce and starts to chew on it. Yoongi takes his chopsticks and begins to eat his food.

Jimin swallows and says, 'He called Eomma a whore.'

Yoongi leans forward and gazes at Jimin.

Jimin continues, 'Eomma was the sweetest lady I've ever known. She's the only woman I'll ever love.'
Yoongi says, 'You must be missing her.'
Jimin says, 'I miss her every single day.'
Yoongi says, 'I can understand.'

Jimin says, 'Father tricked Eomma into marrying him.'
Yoongi says, 'Oh...'
Jimin says, 'She didn't know about his illegal activities. She got to know after my birth.'
Yoongi says, 'She's a nice person to have loved you despite what Park Ji-Sung-nim did.'

Jimin says, 'I came out to her as gay when I was fourteen.'
Yoongi says, 'Oh... I suppose she supported you.'
Jimin says, 'She said that she'd never hate me.'
Yoongi says, 'I'm so sorry that you lost her.'

Jimin says, 'Father killed her.'
Yoongi says, 'You don't know that for sure.'
Jimin says, 'Even if he wasn't directly involved, he was the reason for her death. Even if the one who killed her was his enemy, it's all because of his mafia shite.'

Yoongi does not respond.

Jimin continues to have his breakfast. Yoongi nibbles on his food.

Shortly, Yoongi is doing the dishes. He looks deep in thought.

Jimin is sitting on the couch in the living room. He leans to the couch and sighs heavily.

Quite soon, Yoongi walks into the living room with a serving of butterscotch ice cream in his hands. He steps closer to Jimin and offers him the ice cream.

Jimin gazes at Yoongi.

Yoongi says, 'Have it.' and smiles a little.

A small yet shy smile gleams on Jimin's lips. He gets the ice cream from Yoongi and begins to have it.

Yoongi sits next to Jimin and watches the latter devour the ice cream with a fond look in his eyes.

Soon, Jimin takes the last bite of his ice cream and swallows it. He looks at Yoongi with a childish look on his face.

Yoongi chuckles softly in response.

Jimin says, 'Thank you, Hyung.'
Yoongi says, 'You're welcome...'

Jimin gives Yoongi a quick hug, making the latter exhale shakily.

Jimin grins at Yoongi and the latter smiles a little at him.

Hours pass.

Jimin is listening to songs in his room. He says in a singing tone, 'Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?'

He stops the music and stands up with his phone. He walks to Yoongi's room and knocks on his door.

Yoongi opens the door and asks, 'How can I help you?'
