(VIII) 'I'm breathing freedom.'

Later at night, Yoongi and Jimin are sitting on the bed—the latter is merely wearing pants.

Yoongi begins to apply ointment to Jimin's wounds. Jimin hisses and Yoongi says, 'It's all right.'

Shortly, Yoongi and Jimin are in bed—the latter is resting his head on Yoongi's chest.

Jimin says, 'I wish I could tell Taehyung about us.'
Yoongi says, 'It's not safe. We can't let anyone know where we are.'
Jimin says, 'As long as Father is alive, we gotta stay like we don't exist at all.'
Yoongi says, 'It's gonna be all right.'

Jimin says, 'Jungkook deserves to know where you are... You're his only living kin.'
Yoongi says, 'He's in the States with Taehyung. He'll be fine. Don't worry.'
Jimin asks, 'We gotta wait for a few days until we get to move to London.'

Yoongi says, 'And I don't speak English. I'm really bad at it.'
Jimin says, 'I can speak a little. I'll teach you.'
Yoongi says, 'Okay...'
Jimin says, 'You gotta be a quick learner though. I'm not really patient.'
Yoongi says, 'I know.'

Jimin chuckles softly and nuzzles up against Yoongi's neck.

A couple of weeks pass.

On a fine evening.

Yoongi and Jimin are sitting on a plane holding each other's hand.

Jimin asks, 'Why do you think Father didn't find us yet?'
Yoongi answers, 'He's on a mission. He must have started searching for us now.'

Jimin hums and closes his eyes.

The next day.

Yoongi and Jimin are standing in front of a café—a few people are walking around them.

Jimin says, 'I'm breathing freedom.' and holds Yoongi's hand.

Yoongi looks around and gulps nervously.

Jimin holds Yoongi's face and smooches his lips.

Yoongi pushes Jimin away gently and says, 'We are in public.'

Jimin says, 'It's London, baby. Nobody cares. You can even fuck me here.'
Yoongi says, 'Honey, I... Let's just go find a place to stay... Yeah?'
Jimin says, 'Yeah.'

Yoongi blushes a little and begins to walk and Jimin follows him.

Soon, Jimin walks into a place and Yoongi follows him.

[In English]
A man in his 40s says, 'Hello, young men! How can I help you today?'

[In English]
Jimin says, 'Hello... We are looking for a... Place to... Stay.
He says, 'As in a house... I suppose.'
Jimin says, 'Yes... Sir.'

Yoongi looks at Jimin with a confused look in his eyes.

[In English]
He says, 'I can show you some places... I hope you've got money with you.'
Jimin says, 'Money... Yes.'
He asks, 'Where are you from?'
Jimin answers, 'Uh... Japan.'
He says, 'You both don't look Japanese to me. I know a couple of Japanese blokes.'

Jimin smiles nervously in response.

[In English]
He says, 'All right. Danny is gonna show you some places.'
Jimin asks, 'Who?'
He answers, 'Danny... Daniel Dust.'
Jimin says, 'Okay... Thank you... Sir.'
He says, 'Happy to be of help to you.'

Jimin smiles a little and Yoongi bows to him.

Jimin says, 'Stop bowing. They don't understand it.' and holds Yoongi's hand.

[In English]
The man exclaims, 'Danny!'

A man in his 20s walks to him.

[In English]
He says, 'Show them a couple of places. They've come from Japan.'
Daniel says, 'Sure, Dad.'

[In English]
Daniel shakes hands with Jimin and says, 'Hello, mate. I'm Danny.'

[In English]
Jimin says, 'Jimin... This is Yoongi, my boyfriend.'
Daniel says, 'Oh, I see.'
Jimin says, 'We... Don't have a car...'
Daniel says, 'That's all right. Come with me.'
Jimin says, 'Thank you... Danny.'

Daniel flashes a smile and begins to walk; Yoongi and Jimin follow him.

Shortly, Daniel parks the car in front of a house. He unfastens his seatbelt and gets out of the car; Yoongi and Jimin follow him with their backpacks.

[In English]
Daniel says, 'This is quite cheap... Lemme show you around.' and begins to walk; Yoongi and Jimin follow him.

Quite soon, Daniel shows Yoongi and Jimin around the house.

Yoongi says, 'I like it, honey. It's cheap, too, isn't it?'
Jimin says, 'Aye. Let's take this one.'
Yoongi says, 'All right.'

[In English]
Daniel says, 'If you don't like this place, we've got two more on the list.'
Jimin says, 'We... Uh...'
Daniel asks, 'Yeah?'
Jimin answers, 'My English is... Bad...'
Daniel says, 'That's all right. I can understand what you're trying to say.'

Jimin says, 'Fuck. I don't know how to form the sentence.'
Yoongi says, 'Let me try talking to him.'
Jimin says, 'You don't even know how to say "Hello".'

[In English]
Daniel asks, 'Do you want me to show you both the other places?'
Jimin answers, 'No.'
Daniel asks, 'Are you both okay with this house?'
Jimin answers, 'Yes. This... Good place.'
Daniel says, 'All right, mate. I'll talk to the owner and let you make the payment.'

Jimin smiles a little in response.

Later at night, Yoongi and Jimin are sitting on the bed; the former is using his phone.

Jimin says, 'Baby, we gotta learn English. I had a hard time talking to the owner. He was a sweet person though.'
Yoongi says, 'I never thought London could be a cool place.'
Jimin says, 'Homophobic people exist here, too.'
Yoongi asks, 'Why do you say that?'

Jimin answers, 'A lady in her... 70s at the airport was staring at me with this disgusted look in her eyes.'
Yoongi says, 'It can be racism.'
Jimin says, 'It could be that or she didn't like the fact that I held your hand like that.'
Yoongi says, 'Perhaps... It doesn't matter.'

Jimin hums and grabs Yoongi's phone as he says, 'Let's learn English.'

Yoongi says, 'All right.'

The young men spend a few hours learning English.
