Suddenly, someone starts calling Jimin on FaceTime. He pulls out his phone and looks at the caller. Then he looks up and says, "It's Min Jee." He stands up and walks into another room.

Jimin POV
I get up and quickly walk to another room. Then I answer. "Heyy, cutie. How's it going?" She smiles weakly and then says, "I have a video call scheduled in a minute. From my doctor. And I was scared to listen to it alone. That's why I wanted you to be with me, even if only virtually." I smile and nod. Then she says, "Okay, here we go."
She puts her phone down on the table next to the computer so that I can see her clearly. Then she starts biting her nail on one hand while answering the video call with the other. She says hello and then the doctor says, "Hey, Min Jee. I went over your results and all the test data. So I'm sorry to say that the content of this call is not very pleasant."
She pauses and looks at me, then the doctor continues, "As we feared, you have a broken ankle and it's in the worst possible condition. It looks to me like you won't be able to dance anymore. A broken ankle and at your stage is a very serious injury and it's hard for a dancer to recover from that. I'm so sorry, Min Jee."
"I'll give you a few days to accept what's happening. Let me know when we can start preparing for surgery. Bye for now." Then the doctor hangs up the video call. She blinks a few times, trying to process what she just heard. Then she turns to the phone and looks at me.
Tears well up in her eyes and she says, "Jimin....." I feel tears welling up in my eyes too. I whisper, "I know. I'm so sorry, cutie." Tears fall and she wipes them away, then nods. She says, "It's okay. I'll figure something out. I'll get over it." Then she picks up the phone and says, "Jiminie, I'll text you later, okay? I just want to think about it now."
I nod and say, "Sure. I love you, cutie." She smiles weakly and then says, "Bye, Chimmy." I smile at the nickname and she hangs up. I leave the room and go back to everyone. I sit down on the floor and everyone looks at me. I look at Yoongi and say, "Yeah...umm. She can't dance anymore. The injury is too bad." Yoongi's eyes widen and he takes a deep breath.
Then he nods and bites his lip. I say, "She just needs to be given time to get over it now. In the meantime, WE're going back to our movie, hyung. You need to rest before the surgery." Yoongi nods slowly, and I know he's still thinking about Min Jee. But he's not the only one.We turn on the movie and start watching, but I'm having a little trouble focusing on it. However, I shake off thoughts of Min Jee and try to focus on the movie.
After a few weeks, Yoongi POV
I'm sitting in my apartment, in my office, talking to the guys on video call while they're on a break from training, when suddenly someone knocks on my apartment door. I look at the guys and say, "Turn off the microphone if you want me to take you with me." They do, and I get up and walk to the door.
When I open the door, I get an unexpected surprise. I say, "Min Jee?? What are you doing here??" She looks at me and says, "Can I come in??" I step aside and say, "Yeah, sure. Come in." When she comes in, she takes off her jacket and boots and puts them aside. We go to the living room and she says, "How are you? How's your shoulder??" I say, "Uhh...it's healing. Slowly, but it's healing."
She sits down and I say, "Jimin told me all about your leg and your position as a trainee at SM Entertainment. I'm so sorry. How's your leg??" She says, "Well, as you can see, I can walk." Then she smiles weakly and says, "I had surgery the same day as you. What a coincidence. It hurts, but it must be harder for you."
I nod and ask, "Uhh. Sooo. Why are you here?? Not that I mind." She nods and says, "Uhh, we need to talk." I say, "Wait. Before you start, I just wanted to apologize for everything. I saw that music video. I'm so sorry for everything I said. I didn't mean it. I just said it out of anger. And I don't expect you to want to be with me again, but I had to tell you this. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
She smiles a little wider and says, "That's nice to hear. I wanted to talk about something else, though, not us." I nod and look at her. She bites her lip and clenches her hands into fists. Then she looks down, and when she finally looks up, she takes a deep breath and says, "Yoongi, I'm pregnant."
Min Jee POV
I say what I wanted to say, and then I look at Yoongi. He's sitting across from me on the coffee table, looking at me. But now that I've told him, he looks frozen. I say, "Yoongi oppa?? By the way, it's your child, but that's it. Such a small detail." He doesn't answer, still looking at me. Then he asks, "Uhh, what? Um...how?"
I say, "I think you know how babies are made, oppa." He says, "You know what I mean." I say, "Yeah, yeah. I know. But I don't know. I just found out recently, and that's why I flew back."He looks at me with big eyes and I take a deep breath. I take one of his hands in mine and say, "Oppa. There's no pressure on you and you can be as involved in this as you want. I'm not forcing you to be involved in this. I'm ready to raise this baby alone."
Yoongi is quiet and looks at me. I say, "Uhh, okayy. I can wait." I sit back in my chair and smile. I pause for a few seconds and then say, "Okay. You know what. You think it over and then let me know, okayy?" I stand up and turn to leave, but then Yoongi stands up and hugs me from behind.I turn to him and he says, "Sorry for my reaction. Of course I want to be a part of this. This is my baby and so are you. Of course I want to be involved." I nod and then we both sit on the couch.
He asks, "Sooo...how long have you been...pregnant??" I say, "Uhh. 16 weeks." He nods and takes a deep breath. I say, "Anyways. Since you know, I can go now. I have other things to do." Then I turn to him and say, "Anyway, I haven't told the guys yet so you can tell them yourself if you want."
Yoongi laughs and says, "Uhh...now they know." I ask, "Huh? What do you mean??" Yoongi smiles and says, "Before you came, I was talking to the guys on a video call. When you rang the doorbell, they turned off the microphone while I went to see who was there. When I saw it was you, I put the phone in my pocket. And I guess the call is still going."
He takes the phone out of his pocket and looks at it. Then he turns the phone back to me. The guys turn on the mic and wave at me. Then Namjoon says, "Hey, Min Jee. Congrats to you both." Jimin says, "I mean, I already knew, but congrats again anyway, cutie." I bite my lip to stop myself from smiling.
I nod my head helplessly and say, "Nah, thanks. Now that you all know, I can go and hide somewhere far away from people by myself." The guys laugh and Yoongi smiles. Then he puts the phone aside and hugs me with one arm. I hug him back weakly and then pull away and say, "Okay. Like I said, I have to go. I have...uhh...plans."
Yoongi holds up the phone to me again and the guys say goodbye, then Jimin says, "See you tonight, cutie? At the usual place?" I smile and say, "Sure." Then I grab my things and leave Yoongi's apartment. When I get downstairs, Dohyun is waiting for me. He hands me my crutches, which I actually really needed, and asks, "So. How did it go??"
I reply, "Just like we thought it would." Dohyun smiles and then says, "Okay then. Come on, I'll take you home." I nod and we walk to Dohyun's car.
