Jimin had freaked out and started to panic when he wasn't hearing an answer from Yoongi but after a few minutes, he replied.

Now, Jimin and JiHyun are standing in front of Yoongi's apartment. Jimin rings the bell, and Yoongi comes out almost immediately.

"Come in." Jimin and JiHyun do as told and walk in. Jimin remembers the last time he was there but shakes his thoughts away because JiHyun is what is most important now.

"Yoongles! Jimin, why are we here?" JiHyun turns to look at his brother who just smiled and looked at Yoongi.

"Yoongi, are you sure you're okay with this?"

Yoongi could have said no. He could have rejected the favor, he could have just simply hung up on the younger and continue to sleep but no, he couldn't say no to Jimin.

He didn't know why exactly, maybe because he had an ass that could make anyone drool at an instant, or maybe his pink plump lips that would make anyone want to kiss them, or maybe it was even that fact that Jimin could connect with Yoongi in a way that no one could have ever possibly done in his past.

He didn't know why, but the main problem was that he could just simply not say no.

"Yeah, it's fine. He can stay here for however long he needs." Yoongi reassures, knowing that it wasn't going to be easy to take care of JiHyun but in the end, it is all for a good cause.

"Thank you so much." Jimin hugs the older who welcomes the hug and even makes it a bit tighter to mutually show that he was there for the younger no matter what.

JiHyun just quietly stares at the two, while a smirk slowly starts to creep itself on to his face. Jimin spots the smirk and backs away from Yoongi in an instant making the older shook from his sudden backing away.

He hears JiHyun's giggle and that all he needs to hear to know why the younger backed away from the embrace.

"So, JiHyun are you tired?" Yoongi turns to look at the boy who is rubbing his eyes and lets a yawn slip out his mouth.

"Mhm." Yoongi smiles and places the boy in his arms and carries him to his room. He places the boy on his bed and covers him with a blanket.

"Goodnight JiHyun." Yoongi softly mumbles before he switches the lights off and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

Jimin waits in the living room and is still there when Yoongi comes back.

"Hey, thanks again for this. I really don't know what I could do without you." Jimin's eyes widen when he realizes how the sentence came out. Yoongi chuckles and walks towards the younger.

"It's ok. Remember what I told you earlier? As long as I'm here, you both are safe. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you." Jimin nods to show he remembers.

"Now why don't you sit down and make yourself comfortable?" Yoongi gestures the couch, to which the younger responds.

"No, I should get going I have to-" "You think I don't notice you struggling on the inside?" Yoongi walks up closer to the younger until they are only inches apart.

"Why don't you sit down, and get comfortable pet." Jimin's eyes widen when he hears the last word come out of the older's mouth.

Jimin knew he couldn't reject the offer now. He even thought that Yoongi had forgotten about their game.

"O-okay." Jimin slowly walks over to the couch and sits down, Yoongi walking to the kitchen. When he comes back, he now carries snacks in his arms holding them like a baby.

"What are these snacks for?" Jimin questions, Yoongi placing each snack on the coffee table in front of them.

"For us to eat meanwhile we watch a movie," Yoongi states calmly before Jimin objects to the idea.

"I-I can't I have to go h-home and w-watch out in case if m-my father comes." Jimin stutters, Yoongi immediately silencing him by placing his finger to the younger's plump pink lips.

"Shh. You have to listen to your master. Don't tell me you have forgotten about the game, or have you?" Yoongi whispers, his husky voice sending chills down Jimin's spine.

"N-no."

"Okay then. Sit, relax, and enjoy. Those are my only orders for today." Yoongi commands, Jimin obeying and slowly allows himself to get comfortable on the couch.

Both boys had a little argument about what movie to watch but after hot debate, Yoongi won for his opinion. It was a drama, one about war history. Jimin wanted a comedy but no, Yoongi won with his point that Jimin would see everything differently once he finished watching it.

So now there they were on the couch, eating snacks that Yoongi had laid out for them. At first, Jimin found it a tad boring and confusing because he kept having to ask questions.

Yoongi told him to stop asking and just watch so Jimin did as told and just as Yoongi mentioned, he started to understand.

There were slight occasions where Jimin had to close his eyes because the scenes were just too much for him. In response, Yoongi held the younger's hand in his own as a way to show comfort.

When the movie ended, Yoongi smiles to himself for showing the boy such a great masterpiece but hears a couple of sniffles from the back of his head. He turns around and sure enough, the other boy is in tears.

Yoongi takes the younger into his arms and stroked his back to calm the younger.

"Why you crying?" Yoongi softly asked, his hand not stopping the strokes he was giving to the younger's back.

"I just remembered h-how JiHyun has to go through shit even though he s just a little boy. I hate the fact that I tried to save my brother from the pain that I had to go through yet failed." Jimin wipes his tears and Yoongi lets go of him.

"Jiminie, it's not your fault that your father is a bitch and treats you both like that. don't blame yourself. I was once you who used to blame myself for the way my father treated me." Jimin looks to Yoongi, whose face is being illuminated by the TV's brightness.

"Y-your father also treated you like mine did?" Yoongi slowly nods and leans his back against the couch ready to tell a story.

His, story.

"My father was like your father, no, he was worse. He always hit me and came home drunk...he sometimes didn't even come him for days. He also...he also killed my mother." Jimin gasped and let his jaw drop from too much shock.

"Unbelievable right? She died protecting me. She...I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her." Jimin reaches his hand out and grabs Yoongi's, who was trying his best to not let tears roll down his face.

"I'm so sorry Yoongi...she must have been a very wonderful person." Yoongi smiles and nods in agreement before continuing his story.

"My parents were a happy couple. One of those couples where everyone would think that they were the luckiest people alive to be with their soulmates. That was total bullshit though. That wasn't true. That was far from the fucking truth. He fucking hurt her because he was an alcoholic. He killed her because she was trying to stop him from hurting me. If-If I hadn't provoked his anger she would have still been alive." Jimin's facial expressions changed rapidly while hearing this. He could also tell that Yoongi was battling with the tears he was trying to contain.

"No. Don't you dare blame yourself either. You are not at fault here. You were just a kid. Your mother was just doing her job as a mother." Jimin pulls Yoongi's hand which pulls the older into Jimin's arms.

"He's in prison now. I haven't seen him in years and I don't plan on seeing him anytime soon." With that, Yoongi loses the war and his tears start rolling down his cheeks. Jimin wipes them away and places the older's head on his chest.

"Min Yoongi, you and I can relate on much more than I could have ever imagined." Jimin whispers, both boys silently enjoying the warmth from each other's body.

It was a sweet moment, one of those moments that you wish no one could ever interrupt until one-

Jimin's phone starts ringing.

SMH YOU COULDN'T EVEN LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE.

Both boys separate from each other and Jimin places the phone to his ear.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS JIHYUN?! HUH?! ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF?! I TOLD YOU I WANTED HIM BACK WHEN I GOT HOME YOU LITTLE GAY PIECE OF SHIT!" Jimin's eyes widen but before he can answer, Yoongi snatches the phone from his ear.

"I'm sorry sir but I don't think it is appropriate the way you're talking to Jimin. I think it's best to not have JiHyun in a home where he is hurt so don't expect him to be there anytime soon." Yoongi hears a burst of laughter from the other side of the phone.

"What? You the boyfriend?" Yoongi doesn't hesitate to answer.

"Yeah, I am so I take care of him too which mean fuck off cunt." Yoongi ends the call and drops the phone next to him while crossing his arms in satisfaction.

"What did he say?" Jimin asks, even though he clearly heard what his father said.

"Nothing much."

"I should get going Jin is going to start spamming me with messages and-" "You could stay." Yoongi interrupts, smiling after saying his option. Jimin, on the other hand, is shook.

"No, I already caused you too many problems." Yoongi cups Jimin's face in his hands.

"If I'm going, to be honest, you have made my life so much more interesting than ever before. I am grateful and if that involves me protecting you and cheering you up so that you continue to make my life interesting, I'll gladly do so." Yoongi shows his gummy smile once more before backing away from the younger who is blushing.

"You can sleep with JiHyun if you'd like. I'll sleep in Namjoon's room since evidently, he won't be coming home tonight." Yoongi chuckles and turns off the TV.

"O-okay." Jimin manages to say before he gets up and starts heading to Yoongi's room to accompany his brother in dreamland.

"Thanks again Yoongi, or should I say Yoongles?" Jimin whispers loud enough for Yoongi to hear.

"Oh, I don't know Jiminie, which one sounds better? Yoongi or Yoongles?" Yoongi looks at the blushing younger and smiles.

"I think Yoongles, and I really like Jiminie too. Goodnight Yoongles." Jimin disappears into Yoongi's room.
