They stood like that for a long moment, the silence filled only with Jimin's muffled crying. Then Yoongi spoke again.
"Chim, we have reasons. Deep ones. I promise... when the time is right, you'll know everything. We won't hide it forever."
Jimin pulled back from the hug, wiping his tears with the back of his hand.
"What reason could ever justify risking your lives?" he asked, voice hollow. "Are you not scared of losing someone again? Bur I am..."
He looked up at both of them, broken, fragile.
"I lost Mom when I was just five. Then Yoona imo... then Aunt. Suho hyung left us without a word. Even Jin hyung... saw what death looks like that night. And still, none of you are leaving that world? Why? Why are you all so willing to throw yourselves into danger?"
His voice cracked again as his knees shook. "I was terrified when those men attacked you, Appa... out of nowhere. I... I can't lose any more of you. I won't survive it..." He said while looking at Hyunwoo.
His voice gave way to a sob. Hyunwoo rushed to him and pulled him into a firm hug. Jimin collapsed against his father's chest, clinging to him like a child. Meanwhile yoongi just stood there. Thinking about jimin's words while tears were threatening to call.
"I'm sorry, baby... Appa is here," Hyunwoo whispered, tears now slipping from his eyes too. He held Jimin tightly, running a gentle hand through his hair. "Nothing will happen to us. I swear. We're all here. And we're not going anywhere. You're not alone."
"Really?" Jimin whispered through his hiccups.
"Nae, really. Stop crying, hmm? Please, baby..." Hyunwoo said softly, pulling back to wipe Jimin's tears with his thumbs. "We'll tell you everything when the time is right. For now, just trust us a little longer."
Jimin gave a small nod.
He turned to Yoongi, who had been silent, looking at the floor. "Hyungie," Jimin called softly.
Yoongi finally looked up, startled. His eyes were red.
"I'm sorry, Chim..." he whispered and walked over, hugging Jimin tightly once again. "I yelled at you so badly yesterday. I hurted you. I'm so, so sorry, baby."
Jimin sniffled and nodded. "Nae... you're really bad. I hate you, grandpa."
Yoongi let out a soft huff and suddenly started tickling him. "Yah! What did you say? Grandpa?"
Jimin burst out laughing through his tears, trying to wriggle away. "S-stop! Hyung! You're the worst!"
The room slowly filled with the sound of Jimin's laughter-soft, broken, but genuine. And it was the most comforting sound Hyunwoo had heard in days.
He smiled faintly, eyes still wet. But deep inside, a heavy shadow lingered.
"I don't know how you'll all react when you find out the truth about Jungkook's past... about Suho hyung's death... and Hyesuk's murder..." Hyunwoo thought, clenching his jaw as he looked at his son and Yoongi. "But I know that day is coming. And it's going to break you."
With Haein
She entered the building, her presence demanding attention. All the workers were in awe as they saw the CEO of QUEENS herselF steped inside. Whispers filled the air as they speculated she must be there for an important meeting. One by one, they bowed in respect as she passed.
Haein gave a slight nod in return and spotted Namjoon waiting nearby.
"Noona, this way," Namjoon said, stepping forward to guide her.
