(XVIII) 'We are lucky enough to be alive now.'

The next day.

Min-Ji is sitting on the countertop of the kitchen. Jimin is preparing toast.

He says, 'Little one...'

She hums in a questioning tone as she begins to dangle her legs.

He asks, 'How about having a little brother?'
She asks, 'What?'
He asks, 'Would you like that?'
She answers, 'No. I don't want any brothers.'
He says, 'Not brothers... Just one brother.'
She says, 'No.'

He turns around to face her and asks, 'Why?'

She answers, 'Because you won't love me anymore.'
He asks, 'Why do you say that, dear?'
She answers, 'My best friend... Sophie... She has a sister now and nobody cares about her.'
He asks, 'Did Sophie tell you this?'
She answers, 'Yes.'

Yoongi stands at the entrance of the kitchen watching Jimin and Min-Ji.

Jimin notices Yoongi and sighs heavily.

She says, 'Appa...'

Jimin hums in a questioning tone.

She continues, 'I'm your princess and I'll always be.'
He says, 'Of course, dear.'
She says, 'I don't want someone else to come among us three.'
He says, 'It'll be nice to have a sibling...'

Her lips start to quiver.

Jimin spares a glance at Yoongi and looks at Min-Ji as he asks, 'What's wrong, little one?'

She answers, 'You don't love me anymore. You care more about him.' and begins to sob.

Jimin steps closer to Min-Ji and embraces her as he says, 'That's not true, sweetie. You'll always be our princess.'

Min-Ji wraps her hands around Jimin's nape and sniffles.

Yoongi steps into the kitchen and asks, 'Why is my sweetheart crying?'

Min-Ji lets Jimin go and looks at Yoongi.

Yoongi lifts Min-Ji and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

Jimin says, 'She doesn't want a little brother.'
Yoongi says, 'Babies are cute... Also, you'll have someone to play with every day at home.'
Jimin says, 'The more... The merrier.'
Min-Ji says, 'You have to promise me that your love for me will not change.'

Yoongi shows his little finger and Min-Ji interlaces her little finger with his.

Yoongi says, 'Promise.' and smiles at Min-Ji.

Min-Ji lets go of Yoongi's finger and looks at Jimin as she says, 'Now, it's your turn, Appa.'

Jimin shows his little finger and Min-Ji interlaces her little finger with his.

Jimin says, 'Promise...' and lets go of her finger.

Min-Ji buries her face in Yoongi's neck and stays still.

Yoongi flashes a smile at Jimin.

A few days pass.

At night, Yoongi and Jimin are in bed next to each other.

Yoongi moves closer to Jimin and nuzzles up against his neck.

Jimin chuckles softly and asks, 'What are you doing?'

Yoongi whines and stays still.

Jimin pulls Yoongi closer—the latter rests his head on Jimin's chest.

Jimin says, 'Baby...'

Yoongi hums in response.

Jimin asks, 'Do you think I should go meet him in jail?'
Yoongi asks, 'Do you want to?'
Jimin answers, 'I don't know...'
Yoongi says, 'He's your father. I don't have anything to say about this. If you wanna see him, go meet him.'

Jimin says, 'I'm not sure...'
Yoongi asks, 'Why do you say that?'
Jimin answers, 'No matter what he does... He's still my father.'
Yoongi says, 'Yes, he is.'
Jimin says, 'But when I think of what he has done to us, I feel like pushing him off a building.'

Yoongi says, 'He won't be able to step out of the jail until he dies. He'll be here in London for a few years. Before he gets moved to South Korea, maybe you should pay him a visit.'
Jimin says, 'I don't know what to tell him.'
Yoongi says, 'You'll have to decide that yourself.'

Jimin asks, 'Do you think he'll ever change?'
Yoongi answers, 'I'm afraid no.'
Jimin says, 'We are lucky enough to be alive now. I can't ask for more.'
Yoongi says, 'I'm glad that the London police helped us.'
Jimin says, 'Me, too...'

Yoongi plants a kiss on Jimin's chest over his T-shirt.

Jimin says, 'I'm gonna give it some time.'
Yoongi asks, 'For what?'
Jimin answers, 'To meet Father.'
Yoongi says, 'Whatever you decide to do... I'm with you.'
Jimin says, 'Thank you, baby...'

Yoongi hums in response.

Jimin continues, 'Let me do this alone.'
Yoongi says, 'Sure.'
Jimin says, 'I wanna let him know how happy I am with the life I've chosen.'
Yoongi says, 'You should.'
Jimin says, 'Aye...'

Yoongi closes his eyes and stays still. Jimin stares at the ceiling for a while.
