I had been keeping a close eye on Jimin ever since he hurt himself. Every day he'd greet me with a smile but I know it was an act he put up to shield his emotions from me.

"Are you sure you feel okay?" I asked sounding worried. When he hesitated his response I yell "JIMIN DON'T LIE!" I immediately regret yelling at him, he's so fragile and now I feel bad. "Baby.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell." I say. "THEN WHY DID YOU?" He shouts back.

"I'm worried about you." I say. Jimin buries his head into my chest, his body shakes in my embrace. "Do you need to lay down?" I ask. He nods and I bring him to the bed. He hugs a pillow and I'm slightly offended at his action.

The next day Jimin went out to the shop, "I'll be there around noon." I call out to him before he leaves.

When I arrive at the shop with his lunch Jimin is on the ground with lots of little yellow flowers and he's turning them into a crown "Hyung!" He happily cheers at my appearance. "Look I'm cute" and puts the crown of flowers on his head.

"I brought lunch." I say and he happily takes it from me opening the container and slurping up the noodles. "I love you hyung!" Jimin says to me with noodles spilling out of his mouth. Aish, such a cute messy eater. "I love you too baby." I say to him. He gives me a cheeky smile, gosh I'm really in love with this kid.

He pats his tummy when he's done "You cook great food, have you thought about opening a restaurant hyung?" He asks. "You're funny Jimin, if you like my cooking then you're the only one I'll cook for." I say.

"Hey Jimin, how are your.. arms?" I hesitantly ask. He pulls up his sleeves and I see the cuts are healing and there aren't any new marks present on his arms, I feel relieved. "Have you thought about doing that again Jimin?" I ask. "No hyung, it felt like I needed to be punished and after the first cut I didn't stop until you came here that day. I don't have any intentions of hurting myself again." He says to me. I intertwine my fingers with his, "That's good baby and always remember to come talk to me if you are not feeling well." I say and smile.

I stand up from the floor and move to the flowers. An orangey-pink bouquet catches my eye, it was simple but the vibrant colors gave a warm feeling and that was the bouquet I'd be buying today.

"Jimin how much is this one?" I ask. "$8.00 hyung." He replies. He rings me up and I kiss him goodbye I turn to see a customer but it wasn't just any customer, it was Jae Eun. She was wearing sweatpants and an oversized sweater.. much different from her usual tight style of clothing. Jimin's body stiffens and I can hear him swallow, I step back closer to the counter and he reaches out and grabs hold of my arm.

Jae Eun brings white flowers to the counter, "I'm getting these." Her voice was dull and unenergized, she didn't sound sassy, she didn't sound like herself. I come to realize she wasn't wearing any makeup either. She's not my problem- "Jae Eun what's wrong?" Jimin asks her. God damnit Jimin she might even be acting just to make you feel guilty, but I realize I was wrong when when the girl begins crying without any sign of it being fake. Jimin sighs and rubs my shoulder before walking around the counter to embrace the girl that hurt him.

After a few minutes she took the white flowers she had paid for and quickly rushed out of the shop. "She'll be okay, I've known her most of my life anyway." He says.

"Why did you do that? Why are you so kind?" I ask confused. "Yoongi, I've been through a lot, sometimes being kind to others is what makes me feel better." He says quietly and walks behind the counter. I think about the rose he gave me when we first met.. 'excuse me why are you crying?' 'I know you're lying.' My heart at the same time felt warm and cold. I wanted to cry. "Jimin.. what happened the day you gave me that rose?" I ask. He's taken back at my words.

"My father had fallen ill."
