"The true ugliness of the closet is its subtlety. It eats away at your soul bit by bit and you don't even realize it. If you never deal with it or comes to terms with it, then ultimately the closet will destroy you."

"How's Australia?"

"Fun, but my parents force me to go to places only adults enjoy."

"That's rough, but I'm sure you'll survive."

Hoseok let out a laugh, sitting down at the dining table.

"Sure hope so. How's seeing your family again?"

"I only went to see my Grandmother as of now, Taehyung however has had a full on family reunion every single day."

"He must've missed them."

"He did, I'm glad that he gets to see them again."

"Well keep yourself entertained okay?"

Hoseok heard Yoongi softly laugh on the other side of the line.

"I'll try. I have to get going now though. Talk to you later?"

"Of course!"

"Good. Love you, bye."

"Bye bye, love you too."

Hoseok hung up before feeling that someone was standing right behind him. "Yoongi?" Hoseok turned his phone around before looking at the person behind him. "What is it mom?" She stared at Hoseok's phone before snatching it away from him. "What have you been up to Jung Hoseok?" She said, quickly going through his phone while dodging Hoseok's grabby hands to get his phone back.

"Mom give it back!" Eventually she turned around and pushed his phone in his face. "Are you kidding me Hoseok? After everything we told you, you still chose to be this way?" The screen shown to him was a picture of Yoongi kissing his cheek that Jimin had sent him. Still remembering how Jimin was gloating about his photography skills when he showed it off.

"Be what way?" She stared at him blankly. "Don't even try to talk yourself out of this! I knew your friends were a bad influence!"

"Mom I didn't choose-"

"Cut off with that bullshit!" She screamed angrily. "You disgust me. Your father won't be happy when he sees this."

"Mom no- please don't." Hoseok begged, trying to get through to his mother. "You did this to yourself." She walked off with Hoseok's phone. Hoseok's gaze was fixated on the floor while a tear rolled down his cheek. "Please no." He mumbled to himself before breaking down completely.

"You haven't been on that site again have you?" Jimin peeked over his phone at Namjoon, a look of guilt on his face. "Jimin."

"I- sorry?" Namjoon sighed, standing up from his chair. "I thought we agreed that I would help you to get out of that."

"I know.... But I wanted to give my mom some money before I left." Namjoon narrowed his eyes. "You're not responsible for your mother's financial state." Jimin pursed his lips and laid his phone to the side. "I know.... But I just want a comfortable life, for the both of us."

"How is being a webcam boy a comfortable life?"

"Well I mean it feels good-"

"Jimin." Jimin threw his hands up at Namjoon's tone. "You're still underage." Jimin sighed standing up as well. "Okay but like, I've only been on there three times since you-"

"Oh my god." Namjoon gave Jimin a look of disapproval. "How about we make a promise... I only go on there if it's absolutely necessary."

"How's it ever necessary? You can just ask me for some money."

"Stealing your money makes me feel dirty." Namjoon's look switched from disapproval to disbelief. "And earning it through porn doesn't?" Jimin bit his lip. "Okay you got me there. But- My mom is already disappointed in me so I have nothing to lose!"

"Your mom is not disappointed in you."

"She will be if she finds that box." Jimin dryly laughed before shutting up when he saw Namjoon's glare. "Don't go on there anymore."

"I'll try."

"Jimin."

"I can't give you anything better than that." Jimin folded his arms in defence. "I just want you to be safe Jimin."

"I am! Look, I'm standing right in front of you alive and well." Jimin gestured to himself. "That's not what I meant." Jimin rose up his brow, making Namjoon sigh some more. "And what if you have a boyfriend that disapproves what will you do then?"

"And why are you asking that?" Jimin's defensive attitude rose up again. He wanted to better himself the second he got caught by Namjoon but the money had been such a help for him and his mom. She finally would have some actual time to spend with him instead of being at work 24/7. Namjoon avoided Jimin's gaze, rubbing the back of his neck. "Because I like you." He muttered under his breath.

Jimin took a step closer to him. "What did you say?"

"Because, I, like you." Jimin's defensive nature immediately crashed down, his arms falling to his side. "I like you too... But I also want some time with my mom... and if doing this work gives me that..." Jimin gave Namjoon a saddened look. "Okay. I'll just have to accept it then. I don't live your life, I'll trust your judgement on this. But please stay safe." Jimin smiled softly at Namjoon. "Thank you."

He took another step closer and tippytoed to lock their lips together, holding onto Namjoon's waist. Namjoon clasped his hands behind the back of Jimin's neck and kissed him back.
