“I am home!” Jimin cheerfully proclaims shutting the door behind him to meet with silence
He frowns as he walks further into the house when he sees his mom staring at the closed door of his dad’s study
“Mom?”
“Jimin. ..” she turns around startled and then smiles weakly “..you are home…”
“Mom is everything okay?” Jimin asks concerned
His mom shakes his head slowly and sighs “You should talk to your dad” his mom walks away from the door but stops to pat his back “But you should know whatever decision you make, we will support you no matter what. And we won't force you into anything” his mom gives him an encouraging smile before walking off
Jimin takes in a deep breath before exhaling it slowly and enters his dad's study after knocking
“Dad?”
The sight he saw in front of him literally torn him apart. His dad, his cheerful chubby bubbly dad was reduced to an anxious depressed figure he couldn't even recognise. How could just a few hours make such a difference to his dad's over all health. He rushes over immediately to pull his dad into a comforting hug
“Dad..Are you okay?”
His dad looks up at him with tears in his eyes and something in Jimin’s chest constricts sharply
“Jiminie. . My baby …. I am sorry” his dad managed to say as he caressed his cheek making Jimin’s eyes widen - is dad dying? What's happening?
