Later at night, Yoongi and Jimin are standing in the latter's room.

Jimin says, 'Good night, baby.'
Yoongi says, 'Good night, honey.'
Jimin says, 'I wish I could sleep with you.'
Yoongi says, 'We already did that today.'
Jimin says, 'No, I wanna sleep holding you.'

Yoongi smiles a little in response.

Jimin asks, 'What?'
Yoongi answers, 'I'll go sleep. Another bodyguard will stay until the morning.'
Jimin asks, 'Don't you stay here?'
Yoongi answers, 'I do stay here but... We have shifts. I'll sleep now and get back to work in the morning. The bodyguard on duty at night goes to sleep in the morning.'

Jimin hums in response.

Yoongi brushes Jimin's hand and steps to the door. He unlocks the door and walks out. He closes the door and smiles a little. He walks off leaving Jimin to sigh all alone in his room.

The next day.

Jimin is reading a book in his room. Yoongi is standing outside of the former's room.

Mr Park walks to Jimin's door along with a girl. Yoongi bows to Mr Park and stands still. Mr Park knocks on Jimin's door.

Jimin opens the door and stares at Mr Park.

Mr Park walks in and gestures asking the girl to walk in. Yoongi's eyes darken but he manages to stand still.

Jimin asks, 'What?'
Mr Park answers, 'This is Yang Ga-Eun.'
Jimin asks, 'So what?'
Mr Park answers, 'I want you to sleep with her.'
Jimin asks, 'What?'

Mr Park asks, 'Did you not hear me?'
Jimin answers, 'I did... I mean, why should I?'
Mr Park says, 'You're fucking 30. I can't let you stay single anymore.'
Jimin asks, 'Do you want me to date her?'

Mr Park answers, 'No, definitely not.'
Jimin says, 'Father, I don't understand.'
Mr Park says, 'Spend some time with her.'
Jimin says, 'No, I can't.'
Mr Park asks, 'Why?'
Jimin answers, 'No reason.'

Mr Park says, 'Park Jimin, stop testing my patience.'
Jimin says, 'You're the one disturbing my private time, Father.'
Mr Park says, 'Bastard, stop acting like you're busy doing no shite.'

Jimin rolls his eyes in annoyance.

Mr Park slaps Jimin making Ga-Eun flinch and Jimin wince.

Mr Park says, 'You're not a man, Park Jimin.'
Jimin says, 'I don't have to sleep with a woman to prove my manliness.'
Mr Park says, 'You're nothing like a man.'
Jimin says, 'You can't force me into anything, Father.'

Mr Park exclaims, 'Useless son of a whore!' and walks out of Jimin's room.

Ga-Eun spares a glance at Jimin and follows Mr Park.

Jimin slams the door and takes his blazer off. He puts it on the couch and sits next to it. He begins to sob silently.

Yoongi looks lost in thoughts. He keeps flashing glances at Jimin's door.

Jimin stands up and walks to the bedside table. He grabs the bottle of whiskey and sits back on the bed.

He starts to sip on it with a gloomy face. He sips almost half of the bottle and starts to sob again.

He whispers, 'Yoongi Hyung...' and begins to chug his whiskey.

Shortly, he manages to keep the bottle on the bedside table and falls to the bed with his legs dangling. He loses consciousness within a minute.

Yoongi feels restless. He slowly tries to open Jimin's door and succeeds. He walks in and closes the door. He sighs heavily and steps closer to Jimin.

Yoongi lifts Jimin and tucks him into the bed. He plants a kiss on Jimin's forehead and smiles at him.

Yoongi closes the bottle of whiskey and stands upright. He walks to the door and spares a glance at Jimin.

Yoongi opens the door and walks out of the room. He closes the door and stands next to it—he looks lost in thoughts.

The next day.

Jimin opens his eyes and groans faintly. He grabs his phone and makes a call to Taehyung.

Over the phone.

Jimin: Hello...

Taehyung: Jimin-ah! I called you a lot of times yesterday. Are you okay?

Jimin: Uh... Yeah... Yeah, I'm okay.

Taehyung: Is something wrong?

Jimin: Just my father trying to piss me off. I'm fine.

Taehyung: Are you sure?

Jimin: Aye...

Taehyung: All right then.

Jimin: Why did you call me though?

Taehyung: Jungkookie and I are moving to the States soon.

Jimin: Oh... Okay... And?

Taehyung: And... We even have plans to get married. Not very soon though.

Jimin: That's cool. Congratulations, mate.

Taehyung: Thank you, Jimin-ah.

Jimin: I wish I could do the same with my boyfriend.

Taehyung: You'll have to. Someday.

Jimin: Aye.

Taehyung: Did you drink?

Jimin: Mmm... Yesterday.

Taehyung: All right. Get some rest. You sound super sick.

Jimin: I'm not sick.

Taehyung: I know.

Jimin: Mmm... Bye.

Taehyung: Bye...

Jimin hangs up and sighs heavily. He tosses his phone onto the bed and stands up. He grabs the bottle of whiskey and gulps a mouthful of it. He keeps the bottle back on the bedside table and goes to the bathroom.
