Jimin wakes up in the morning and snuggles into his blanket. Yoongi must've been gone already. He smiled as he remembered last night. He and yoongi talked a lot. about many things. It was nice to have such conversations with someone you love and trust. When it came to yoongi, jimin felt like he could just unzip his skin to let yoongi see everything. His fears, worries and darkest thoughts. That's how much he trusted him.

Jimin walked downstairs after getting ready, only to find his mother sitting on the couch. Surprised he asked " oh you're back? I thought you'd be gone for a couple more days."

"No, they let me go earlier. How have you been? I hope you've been eating well." His mother smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, we have. Have you seen yoongi this morning, mom?", jimin asked and fixed his shirt. Jimins mother nods, "I did. He told me to tell you not to get in trouble today. I hope this is not something I should worry about, son."

"Oh, yeah-. No. Don't worry. There's no reason to. He's probably just joking around." Jimin assures. But in his head, he wasn't completely sure what it was supposed to mean. Since when was jimin the type of boy to get in trouble anyway?

Last night, they talked a lot. About a lot of things. Including Eric. Yoongi told jimin to stay away from him and find someone else to help him out with school work, but that wouldn't be easy. Nobody seemed interested in helping the murdered kid.

Jimin arrived to his class earlier than expected and took a seat in the back. He tries to lower his head because he doesn't want to see Eric today and make things worse. Eric truly believed that jimin was forced to stay with yoongi. Jimin shrugged it off with a small smile. Sometimes, it really bothered him that people thought of yoongi that way. Yes, he had a past. But who doesn't?

It bothered him that people judged him for the person he fell in love with. It bothered him that people would judge others in general. Why would you judge a person for what you see when you can't see their soul, mind and intentions?

"You really think you could just avoid me, jimin?". The voice made him jump a little in surprise. "Why?"

"Can you please just leave me in peace?" Jimin sighed, ready to get another seat far away from him.

"Look", Eric pulled out the chair next to jimin and sat down. He grabbed jimins hand and held it tightly," I just wanna help you. You don't have to be afraid. Just let me be a help."

"Stop I- " jimin tried to free his hand from Eric's tight grip, "what the fuck is your problem? I love him and I'm happy. He isn't hurting me. Just fucking stop invading our space and mind your own business."

Eric was taken aback when he spoke "I honestly don't know if I should believe you."

"Good. Then don't. Just stay away." Jimin grabbed his bag and swung it on his shoulder. He had had enough.

"Stay. Where are you going?" Eric asked but jimin just ignored him, leaving his class before it even started.

He just wanted to go home and sleep and avoid everyone and everything for a little while. He stopped at the grocery store on his way home to buy some snacks for him and yoongi.

He decided it was the best idea to have a comfy date night with yoongi. They haven't done such a thing since forever. He wanted them both to just have a stress fee evening and enjoy their time together. He got some chips, ice cream, chocolate cookies and was heading to get some candy when he saw him in the aisle.

Him. The person he expected to see the least. The Person he wanted to see the least. He dropped everything he was carrying in his two hands when he saw him standing there in a suit, looking at him with the same facial expression. It was his father.

His father looked at him for a moment. He looked at his sons blond bleached wavy hair and his oversized striped hoodie. And for a split second he felt it. Regret. It was the moment his eyes met jimins fearful, angry, teary eyes that he knew. He lost his own son.

"Hey.. " His father said quietly and fiddled nervously with his fingers.

All it took was his father to say 'hey' to make jimin break down completely. It wasn't because he had missed his father so much. It was because he couldn't believe that his own father was the one who did all this. The person who didn't want his own son anymore. The person to betray a family and leave everything behind. The person who has so much hatred that he needed to spread rumors around.

"I never thought you could do this to me.. " jimins voice cracked as he looked into his fathers eyes and shook his head, "I don't know what to say" he said and felt his heart shattering inside. There was so much he wanted to say to him right now. So much pain he wanted to tell him about to let him know what he did. But he couldn't. He wasn't worth his time.

He rushed out leaving all the snacks behind and hurried home. To his bed. Under his warm covers and his pink pillow. That's where the rest of his tears soaked in. Until he fell asleep.

A soft kiss on his forehead woke him up later, "baby. I'm back."

Jimin hugged and yoongi and kissed him sweetly, "I love you. So much."

"I love you too." Yoongi smiled and held jimins cheek. "Look what I found on the doorstep!! A basket full of snacks and a letter for you. "
