(This is a long chapter so hold onto your hats. -A/N)

Yoongi and Jimin went on dates for the next couple weeks. Despite this, they hadn't kissed. Jimin wanted to but Yoongi kept telling him he wasn't ready. Jimin was patient with him.They had become regulars at the café in which Taehyung worked and alongside that the park. Yoongi wanted to go to the park as often as possible due to its sheer beauty, and he really wanted to honor the fact that Jimin had shared the special area with him. Yoongi's dreams now existed almost entirely of Jimin. This was the same, as when he woke up he, as usual, felt himself blushing. He sighed. He got up and showered. He stared at his reflection for a while. "Hm." he grunted, frowning. "Jimin of all people...decided to date me?" he pondered to himself. He had never been amazing with self love. "Jimin's like a god compared to me.." he muttered. He shook his head. "No. I can't think like this. I'll look pathetic if I constantly out myself down in front of him... He's so confident.. How does he do it?" he wondered. He envied the fact that Jimin has always seemed so put together and bold. He exhaled slowly. He looked in the mirror and smiled, trying to reassure himself that Jimin had fallen in love with him for his personality. Not his looks. He enters his bedroom and puts on a white t-shirt, a leather jacket, a gray beanie, his favorite black ripped jeans, and some black combat boots. He grabbed his keys and phone and walked to the record shop. He entered the shop, smiling softly as he hears the fond noise of the bell indicating the arrival of someone. He walked into the back room and sighed, as he sank down on the couch beside Hoseok. "Hey Yoongi," he says, as he smiles, his lips forming a heart shape. "Hey Hoseok." He replies. "How's it going with Jimin?" He asks, turning to face Yoongi. Yoongi sits upward, sitting with his legs crossed, sitting towards hoseok. "It's doing really well actually," He smiles. "I really hope he'll be the one for me. He seems different." He finishes. "As long as he takes your mind off of...him..then I'm happy for you and I'll respect him." Hoseok says, a bit darkly. Yoongi grimaced. The thought of the person Hoseok was referring to made Yoongi wince. Yoongi's last boyfriend Do Hyun had been an incredibly awful experience. He was manipulative and verbally abusive, and at times physically. He had seemed like the perfect guy at first, but the longer they had been in a relationship the worse it got. He would make Yoongi feel terrible and as though everything was his fault when something bad happened, like an argument. He would say things like, "Stop trying to help me, you're just making everything worse" and "You're trying to make me angry" or, "you'll regret making me mad." He'd been the worst boyfriend ever. He had been the reason Yoongi was afraid to fall in love. He forced a smile. "When are we opening Namjoon hyung?" Jungkook asked, who had just walked in. Namjoon replied from the other room where the records were held, "Around now!" Jungkook nodded. "Alright Hyung." Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jungkook all headed out to open up shop.

~~
After Yoongi got off work he walked out the shop and sighed. He began to walk when suddenly he felt an arm grip his wrist. He froze when he heard a voice speak. "Hey Babe. Where have you been all this time?" He didn't turn to look at him and he felt a lump form in his throat, making it unable for him to speak. Do Hyun. "I've been trying to get in touch with you, you know." The voice continued, insistent on his reply. Yoongi just shook his head, still unable to speak. The arm grabbed him and spun him around, pulling him into the alley near the shop. "Don't ignore me Babe. You know what happens when you make me mad." He threatens. Yoongi tried with everything in his willpower to not look up at him. His eyes were glued to the ground. Do Hyun pushed him to the wall, pinning him as he jerked Yoongi's chin upward to look at his eyes. "Think you're too good to talk to me now do you? Think now that you've got 'friends' and a job that you're superior to me huh?" Do Hyun says, in an aggravated tone. Yoongi shook his head no, willing himself not to cry. "Why haven't you answered me when I reach out to you?" Do Hyun interrogated. "I.. I got a new phone and I forgot your number." Yoongi lied."Oh you did, did you? Well I'll teach you to lie to me you little bitch-" Do Hyun raised his fist to hit Yoongi. Yoongi's eyes shut tightly. He waited for the fist to hit, but to no avail. He opened his eyes to see an equally surprised Do Hyun, his fist being held, just inches away from Yoongi's face. "What the hell?" Do Hyun said, agitated. Yoongi's eyes followed the arm of the person stopping Do Hyun, matching it to the face of none other than Park Jimin. "Who the hell are you?" Do Hyun asks, turning to face Jimin. "Someone who advises you to leave him alone right now and go before it gets ugly." Jimin responds. Do Hyun smirked. "I'm not afraid of you shrimp. I've seen much scarier than a little boy trying to act tough." Jimin matches Do Hyun's smirk as he simply says, "Don't say I didn't warn you." Do Hyun looks at him and in a split second, the next thing Yoongi knew and Do Hyun was grabbing his nose, and Jimin's fist had quickly swung to his face. Do Hyun wiped his bloody nose and grinned. "Oh it's on." Do Hyun punched Jimin and Jimin kicked him backwards. Do Hyun topples back into the garbage can and sinks. He quickly regains his footing as he runs at Jimin. Do Hyun pushes Jimin into the wall and begins kicking him as he drops down to the ground. Jimin starts to get up but Do Hyun just kicks him back down. "Jimin!" Yoongi screamed. "This is what happens when you let yourself trust and rely on anyone else. I'll teach you that nobody else will care for you like I do when I beat the shit out of your little boyfriend." Do Hyun says. Yoongi begins to cry as he sees Jimin slowly getting bruised. His horror and exasperation turned into rage. Yoongi grabs the lid of the metal trash can near him and runs over to Do Hyun, as his back is turned, focused on Jimin, and brings it down on his head with all the force he can muster. Do Hyun falls to the ground and Jimin begins to stand. As Jimin stands he pulls Do Hyun upward and slaps him, holding him tightly by the collar. "If you don't go right now I won't be as patient as I was earlier. And if I see you even look at him again I won't hesitate to end you." Jimin threatened in a rasp, his lip bleeding, his eyes focused on Do Hyun so fiercely it seemed as though he could light him on fire with the contact alone. Do Hyun pulls away and spits, turning to leave. He speaks before leaving, "Hope you have a happy fucking life with this asshole, whore." He stumbles away, limping from his wounds.
  Yoongi sinks down on the wall and breaks down, his tears falling violently. He sobs as Jimin quickly rushes over to him, lowering himself to Yoongi's level. He wraps his arms around the older, and Yoongi buries his face in Jimin's chest as he's held by the younger boy. "Did..did he hurt you?" Jimin asks him quietly, his tone softening at the sound of the older's sobs. "N..no." Yoongi says, his eyes still leaking tears. "Who was that Yoongi..?" he asks him in the same gentle tone. Yoongi stays silent. "Yoongi.." Jimin coaxed. "Do Hyun..my ex boyfriend." Yoongi says softly. "Why was he so angry?" Jimin asks. "I ran away from him two years ago. He was..abusive. He would belittle me.. He told me every day that I was worthless and he was the only one who would ever love me. But he said..It was on the exception I do what he said," Yoongi begins, sniffling. "Every time I did something that agitated him he'd drill through my head alot of hateful words and make me feel like a nuisance." Yoongi finishes, his face stained with tears. Jimin looks at him, his heart breaking. "Yoongi.." he whispered. "And after a while.. I started believing it. It started becoming clear to me that I'm nothing. Nobody cares for me. I'm not worth pursuing and I'm a worthless piece of trash who just ruins everything and hurts people.." he sobbed. His eyes fell down as he let's himself cry. He hadn't cried in so long. He put up walls to make sure he didn't let anyone get hurt by him again. Jimin picks Yoongi up and positions him so he faces him completely, sitting him on his lap, as he lightly tilts Yoongi's head up to meet his eyes. "That isn't true. You're the most amazing person I've ever met. Everything about you is amazing. You matter. Okay? I care about you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Jimin says, emphasising his last words. "I won't let anyone ever hurt you again." He finishes. Yoongi nods, as he lets Jimin wipe his tears. Jimin pecks him on the cheek, to which he flinches, but doesn't stop the younger. Jimin holds Yoongi in his arms, and as he's about to get up, Yoongi mutters, "Can we just stay like this for a bit?" Jimin smiles softly. "Of course Kitty." And they just sit in this position for a while.

Jimin opens the door for Yoongi to get into his car. Yoongi hops into the passengers side. Jimin closes the door and gets in on the opposite side. He starts the car. "Shouldn't you see the doctor? You..you got hurt..because of me." Yoongi says, feeling guilty. Jimin notices the older's unease and to which replies, "Don't worry about me. I got out on the lucky end if you compare it to him. I'm fine. I'm just glad you're okay. I'd do it again anytime if it means you're safe." Jimin reassures him. Yoongi nods. Jimin drives Yoongi to his house. Yoongi gets out and Jimin opens the door. Yoongi's eyes form an O as he looks around Jimin's house. Jimin leads him into his room and sits him on the bed. Jimin grabs a blanket out from the closet and he drapes it around Yoongi's shoulder. Yoongi wraps it around himself as he shivers. He didn't realize how cold it was outside until he had reached the warmths of Jimin's house. "Wait in here. I'll clean myself up a bit and I'll be right back." Jimin says, his hand on Yoongi's shoulder. Yoongi nods. Jimin walks out the room and comes back after a bit, holding a mug of hot chocolate. Yoongi tucks in under Jimin's blanket and sits up against the headboard as he grabs the mug. Jimin sits beside him as he climbs under the cover. Yoongi sips his chocolate. After Jimin waited for the older to finish, he glanced at Yoongi. Yoongi was shaking, partially because of the cold, but also for the reason that two years worth of trauma had resurfaced in a short span of time. Yoongi climbed further down under the covers, laying down. Jimin wrapped his arms around Yoongi's hips, turning Yoongi to face him. Yoongi moves himself closer to Jimin, feeling as though Jimin holding him was the most reassuring and amazing feeling in the entire world. After not long, Yoongi had nodded off to sleep. A smile forms on Jimin's lips as he glanced at the older, who too was smiling as he slept. Jimin then drifted to sleep as well. As the boys lay in bed in each other's arms sleeping peacefully, two years worth of trauma and walls built up were now slowly starting to collapse. This day, both boys knew this fact and felt joy that one was letting the other in and that one was finding trust in someone who cares for him. This day was the beginning of a long journey of discovery and development, and a huge step for their future to come.
