Since his dad walked out on his mother during an argument, things have not been the same, his parents barely talk or look at each other anymore. His father leaves early for work and comes home late and to make matter worse, he caught his father sleeping on the couch. When he asked his father why he was sleeping on the couch he got nothing but a look, telling him to stay out of it. His mother started working on her community project and Jimin just found she wants to be the spokesperson for the community, a position that is going to take most of her time. With the hostile in the house, Jimin stopped going to his dance class, less and less, feeling useless he has not been able to talk to his parents to work things out.

After class Jimin was walking alongside Jungkook silently, sighing and dragging his feet as they walk to the car after saying bye to Mina. Jungkook glances at him but says nothing, he knew the reason why Jimin is feeling down, his parents were talking about it, Jimin sighs and turns to look at Jungkook who stares back at him,

“You must’ve felt sad when your parents were going through a marriage crisis?” he says quietly.

“I was just a kid when my parents started fighting, I didn’t understand most of the things that were happening,” says Jungkook, “The only thing I remember is the yelling, until one day my mom had enough, and she moved us to the states, to be with her parents.”

Jimin stops walking, “Do you think my parents will divorce?” Jungkook shrugs his shoulder, he takes Jimin’s hand, 

“Whether they stay together or not,” he says, “They are still your parents, try not to think to much about it.”

“But I don’t want them to get a divorce,” he snaps, pulling his hand away from Jungkook, leaving him stunned for a second,

“Sorry,” says Jimin, “I just wish there was something I can do to ease my father’s heart, he looks so disappointed in me, for not following in his footstep and my mom for getting the abortion, I feel like everything is just getting worse. My Parents have been together since I was a kid, I witness their love and endurance, I always told my mom I wanted to have what she wants, now I feel like they are just fighting for the sake of the fight.”

After reaching home, Jimin takes Jungkook’s hand, “Sorry I was not a good company today, you came with me to my dance class, but I spent most of the day moping.” Jungkook shakes his head and smiles, squeezing Jimin’s hand, he caresses Jimin’s face,

“I love you,” he says, making Jimin’s heart flutter, “I’m sure your parents will survive this, you’ll be surprised.” Jimin gently pulls him by his shirt and kisses his him, leaving him dumbfounded, Jungkook pulls back,

“Hyung, what if someone sees us?”

 Jimin smiles, “I don’t care anymore.” Jungkook bites his lip, he pulls him back in by his nape, kissing him, they both breakaway laughing, Jimin pecks a kiss on the tip of his nose. Jungkook pitches him gently on the cheek and unbuckles his seat belt.

“Oh, your father is leaving for Seoul, tonight right?” asks Jimin Jungkook nods his head, 

“What about Sana?” 

Jungkook shrugs his shoulders, “I don’t know,” he replies, “I think she is gonna stay for one more week, summer is almost over anyway.” Jungkook pecks his cheek before getting out of the car, he closes the door waving at him,

“Okay,” says Jimin, blowing him a kiss, “Call me,” Jungkook smirks and winks at him,  as he walks towards his house, Jimin sighs and drives through the gate.

It was dinner time, Jimin gets out of his room heading to the dining room but there was no one at the table, he heads to the kitchen, where one of the maids was,

“Where is my mom?”

“Ma’am is in the living room,” replies the maid, “She said not to serve dinner.” Jimin confused, heads to the living room, where his mom was lying on the couch watching television, he approaches her and sits on the  next couch beside her,

“Aren’t we eating dinner?” he asks, she turns to look at him,

“You can eat if you want,” she replies, “I’m not hungry.” Jimin sighs, his heart sinks looking at his mom so down, she looked exhausted and it is like she aged a lot due to the stress and problems at home,

“Are you and dad getting a divorce,” he asks, his mom sits up, scowling at him,

“What makes you think that?”

“Well, you two barely speak to each other, dad is never home and is sleeping in other rooms or on the couch, you’re always fighting since the abortion.”

His mom snorts, “So it’s my fault for not wanting to have another child,” she says, eyes widen,

“Sorry mom,” says Jimin, “I didn’t mean for it to sound like that, I just want you guys to get past this.” His mom’s glare softens, she gets up from the couch, she pats his head,

“I know you do,” she says, “Your father will get past this, he is being stubborn right now, he is just stressed out, work is also getting to him” She walks past him, leaving Jimin in the living room, he sighs with frustration.

Jimin was in his room, unable to sleep, talking on the phone with Jungkook, who came back from the airport with his mother and Sana, his father returned to Seoul. Jungkook was telling him how his father wanted them to move back together as a family in Seoul, but his mother told his father, she has too much going on in Los Angeles to just pack up and move to Seoul, Jimin was glad, he could not handle any bad news right now with his parents’ marriage crumbling down. His father never came back for dinner, it seemed he was pulling another all-nighter at the company, Jimin was planning on visiting him at the company but he felt like he was going to make things worse, so he just shrugs it off. He looks at the watch, it was already twelve o’clock, he can hear Jungkook yawning over the phone,

“Sleepy?” he asks,

“Not really,” denies Jungkook, “We can still talk if you want?” Jimin chuckles,

“That’s sweet of you but losing sleep isn’t going to make my parents get along, you need to sleep.”

“Are you sure hyung?” asks Jungkook before being overtaken by another yawn,

“Yes, take care Jungkook ah,” says Jimin, “Good night, dream a lot of dream about me.”

“Of course,” replies Jungkook, “I love you.”

“Love you too,” replies Jimin, he lingers on the phone a bit, he wanted to keep talking to Jungkook, but he didn’t want to make him worried or lose sleep, he smiles and hangs up the phone after saying another set of goodbyes. He puts the phone down on the bed, staring at the clock, he hears voices, but they were low, please tell me they are not arguing again. Hesitant to leave his room, he puts the music on his phone to block out his parents’ voices, he was not interested in hearing their bickerings, he just wanted them to stop. Annoyed he puts the pillow over his head and closes his eyes, resorting to when he was a child and his parents would bicker, he would play loud music in his room, until his mom would come in his room to tell to turn off the music, it was too late in the night.

Jimin sits up with the unexpected sharp thud of a knock on the door, he turns off his phone and jumps off the bed, opening the door, his mom stood their eyes widen and pale,

“What?” asks Jimin, puzzled,

“Your father fainted, hurry up and call an ambulance,” shouts his mother, running back into the room,

Not knowing what was happening, he scrabbles for his phone and dials 911 and gives them the information, still on the phone, he runs into his mom’s room, his father was on the floor, unconscious and his mom was performing CPR on him, Jimin frozen at moment, forgetting he was on the phone with the operator, his mom yelling, snaps him out of it, 

“Please hurry,” he shouts, “Please hurry.” Jimin paces back and forth in the room, avoiding looking at his mother, his mind running through many things, he was silently begging to god to take his father away, 

“Is he okay?” he asks, his entire body shaking, his mom does not answer him, she stops the CPR and checks for a pulse, she sighs,

“he is okay,” she says.

After the paramedic arrives at the house, everyone was out of their houses, Jungkook, his mom, and Sana run towards them as his father was being wheeled into the ambulance, his mom gets on the ambulance with his father, telling him everything was okay. The ambulance drives away, Jungkook walks towards Jimin, hugging him,

“What happened?”

“I…um…not sure,” replies Jimin, unable to form words, his entire body in shock at the sudden event, unable to move, his mind trying to understand what just happened, after standing still for a minute in Jungkook’s arm, he sighs,

“I have to go to the hospital,” he says underneath his breath,

“It’s late,” says Jungkook, “Aunty will call if something else happened, you can’t drive in this state.”

“Jimin ah, your mom will call,” says Jungkook’s mom, “You won’t be much help freaking out at the hospital,” she pats his back, Jimin shaking and his hands, clenched in fist, he holds back his tears, his mind in a million places, he turns around and heads back into his house,

“I got him,  mom,” says Jungkook following him into the house. ​​​​​​​

Jimin sits down on the couch and gets up again, unable to maintain focus, he stares at the phone, 

"Please god," he pleads underneath his breath, "Let him be okay, how can be so selfish, no once did I think about his health." Jimin sits down and Jungkook sits down beside him, 

"I don't think I can take it if my dad..." his voice trails off, Jungkook squeezes his hand, 

"Don't think like that, uncle will be fine." 

"You don't know that," says Jimin, glaring at him, "God, Since I was a child, I never did anything for my dad, when he wanted me to study business, I went against him, without even realizing that he is working hard so I can live this luxurious life, I'm taking for granted." Jimin covers his face with his hands, tears falling down, "How could've been so selfish." 

After waiting for hours and eventually falling asleep on the couch,  Jimin's mom called to tell his father was alright but she was sleeping over at the hospital. Jimin sighs relieved, he turns around, looking at Jungkook who was passed out asleep on the couch, Jimin gets up from the couch and goes to his room, he grabs a blanket and heads back down. He slowly places the blanket over Jungkook, trying not wake him. Jungkook mumbles something and smiles still asleep Jimin chuckles, 

"Dreaming huh?" He sits on the next couch, trying to catch an eye sleep before having to head to the hospital to see his father in the morning.
