Seeking help or even an explanation, Yoongi reached out to Daeshim. They agreed to meet at a park near the Han River. As Yoongi approached their meeting place he saw Daeshim observing him from the bench where he was seated. Yoongi knew he looked rough. He was beyond caring at that point. Neither of them was fond of small talk so they took a moment to acclimate by staring out across the water. Yoongi slurped up the last few drops of his iced coffee through his straw, noisily sucking air at the end. Looking around for a trash bin, he saw one a good distance away and excused himself momentarily. He tried to be quick so as to not leave Daeshim waiting for long, but upon his return, Daeshim was holding his phone, unplugging it from some contraption.

"You left your phone here so I thought I'd charge it for you."

Daeshim handed it back over. Yoongi considered the thoughtfulness and hoped Daeshim had someone in his life to look after him too, just like what Jimin had been to him until recently. He wondered if it would ever be like that again. They eased into a conversation that had no answers for Yoongi. Both tried hard to reason out a resolution, but they were right where they started as the chill of twilight encouraged them to seek out their warm homes. Yoongi got up from the bench with a huff, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Hey, it might take time to find the problem, but once you do, you can find a solution. The universe didn't bring you here for no reason. Also, you have no idea how these jumps are affecting your energy levels or mental health, so take care of yourself, okay?"

Daeshim got up to leave and waved as he left.

Yoongi's face bore a dour expression as he watched the man walk away. It was hard to tell how long he stood there. He leaned his head back and wished on stars that weren't yet showing to give him strength or maybe insight. 'The universe can get fucked.' He decided after a lack of magnanimous response. When he eventually departed, he was more frustrated than when he arrived.
