"You got divorced?",Jimin asked as his eyes widened. His mother nodded and yoongi held her hand in a comforting way.

"It's better this way, jimin. I tried to call you multiple times but you never responded. I'm not even sure if you got my text messages." His mother confessed.

"I got them." He sighed and shook his head,"I'm so sorry, mom. This is all my fault, I shouldn't have ignored you and I shouldn't-"

"Stop ,jimin."yoongi interrupted,"this is nobody's fault ,okay? Shit happened and we can't change that. Let's stop blaming ourselves or anyone. Especially you, jimin. This is not even closely your fault."

"I guess so"jimin mumbled and ruffled his hair,"but what now?"

"Now, I'm gonna make you a warm cup of tea and we'll be fine." Jimins mother said and stood up but jimin pulled her right back on the bed.

"Mom, you're tired, I will make us some tea but that's not what I meant.. "Jimin sighed,"yoongi got into some trouble and he lost his car and his house. Everything. Dad left and you don't have a job. Everything is falling apart. I don't know what to do."

"You don't have a house anymore?" Jimins mother turned to yoongi and yoongi nodded embarrassed. He felt like he failed in life. He felt so ashamed of everything that happened and deep down he knew everything was his fault but that wouldn't get him any further now.

"Oh."

"It's okay. Actually, I used to live on the streets before." Yoongi admitted and jimin remembered the story he heard about yoongi.

"There's no way I let you do that again. You're staying with us from now on. I told you you're my second son. I'm not that heartless, yoongi." Jimins mother whispered and yoongi bit his trembling bottom lip.

"I may be your second son, but for me, you're my first mother", yoongis voice broke. He never knew how it felt to have someone giving you warmth and strength and support him. All he ever had were people telling him he wasn't good enough and that he never was getting anywhere in life.

Jimin smiled as he looked at yoongi dreamily with heart eyes. It felt so good seeing your loved ones opening up to each other. Jimin was more than happy that his mother liked yoongi. It was all he could ask for. His mother accepted him and his decisions.

"Thank you Mrs. Park",yoongi thanked her and smiled softly," I'll find a good job, I promise and I'll help you out and make both you and jimin happy."

Jimin giggled at how cute and sweet yoongi was acting, his eyes forming into crescent moons and his crooked tooth clearly visible.

"What's so funny-",yoongi pouted, feeling a bit embarrassed. Lately, he noticed that he became more and more of a warm person and he wasn't afraid to show that anymore. Whenever he was with jimin he forgot what it felt like to be cold. Jimin made his heart flutter every single day. Every time he smiled as if it was the first time he had ever seen it.

Beautiful. That's all yoongi could think of whenever he glanced at jimin and a tingly feeling rushed through his body every time he realized that jimin was his.

"You're acting weird", jimin lightly hit yoongis shoulder and a cute laugh escaped his lips.

"Whatever." Yoongi rolled his eyes"I'm going to make us some tea now."

Meanwhile, jimin filled the bathtub with warm water so his mother could take a shower and feel better. He added some bubbles into the water and even lit some vanilla scented candles. Perfect. He thought that maybe someday he should have a romantic bath with yoongi, once things get better.

"Mom,the bathtub is filled. You can come have a bath now, okay? If you need anything tell me. I'll be in the kitchen with yoongi."

"That's sweet, thank you honey"she said and took the towel from jimins hand.

Jimin headed to the kitchen where he found yoongi sitting on the kitchen table, a blank expression on his face. The tea was ready.

"Hey, you alright?" Jimin asked and stepped closer to yoongi.

"Huh- yeah. I.. was just thinking about stuff, you know", yoongi said with a low voice and scratched his nape.

"About what?" Jimin asked and pulled out a chair to sit. He looked at yoongis lips. Whenever yoongi was feeling down or bored he'd always pout his lips. Sometimes he even did when he normally spoke and it made jimin extremely soft. Perhaps, it was his weak point.

"Just everything. Nevermind though", yoongi mumbled and licked his lips.

"Do you want to tell me?"jimin asked and grabbed yoongis hand that cupped the hot cup of tea.

"No" yoongi sighed, "not really. It's nothing serious. I just feel like- I just feel like a failure, you know? My parents were probably right when they told me I wouldn't get anywhere in life. I mean look what I got us into?"

"Yoongi, you told me not to blame anyone-"jimin began but got cut off.

"I know. I know I said that, jimin. But deep down we both know it's all my fault. You just don't want to tell me that. I should've taken you to your parents house earlier and I should've never left you alone."

"I don't care about what happened, yoongi. All that matters we're together now and we can start all over. A brand new beginning. Brand new memories. Brand new everything." Jimin explained with a voice full of excitement. Yoongi swore he could see jimins eyes sparkle.

"Come here",yoongi smiled as he looked up and pulled jimin by his hand. He turned him around ,pulled him on his laps and put his hands around his torso. He kissed the back of jimins neck and rested his head in the crook of his neck.

"I missed this", jimin whispered and leaned back against yoongis chest to feel him closer.

"Remember the last time we sat like this?" Yoongi whispered,"we were on an adventure and you had so many questions. I hope by now, you got them all answered. Even if it wasn't in the most beautiful way."
