The minute he heard that name, Jimin knew this was the moment. It had finally arrived and he couldn't evade it. He would just have to face it head on. By it, he meant Taehyung. He used to feel ashamed to face him when he discovered the truth buy right now, he didn't care so he put up a tough face and walked closer to him taking his slow time.

"You've finally discovered the truth" He pursed his lips and continued "What are you going to do about it"

He watched Taehyung fiddle with the Hem of his suit and close the gap between them.

"Why didn't you tell me? When we met again, why didn't you tell me the truth"

Jimin burst out laughing. He laughed so hard there where tears at the sides of his eyes.

"You're kidding right?" He looked at him very sternly. Taehyung just stared at him.

"What did you expect me to say" he stepped back "oh Taehyung, I'm Jessica Park but I changed myself to Park Jimin and another thing, we have a child together" he said, tongue laced with sarcasm.

He stopped and glared at him. "Did you expect me to say that? Did you forget how we broke up?"

Taehyung gulped. "I know how we broke up. I can't forget it and I know you are angry about what happened. I can now understand why you can't stand the sight of me"

Jimin nodded. "Damn right!"

"But there is a child involved. You can hate me all you want but I have a right to know Mintae"

The boy looked between the two adults seeming confused.

Jimin placed both hands on his hip.

"You have a right to know Mintae!" he whispered then scoffed looking pointedly at Taehyung.

"Is that what you should be saying to me right now?" He said through clenched teeth. Taehyung looked away making Jimin scoff harder

"Is that all you have to say? Ten years Taehyung! Ten years and that's the shit you sprout out from your mouth" Jimin screamed.

Taehyung bit his lips. "If you want me to apologize right now I will.... "

"You know what, Fuck you and fuck your apology" He yelled.

"Sir!" Ahjumma Doo min suddenly whispered bringing him back to his senses and reminding him that a child was there. Jimin held a hand over his mouth feeling guilty as Ahjumma Doo min came to Mintae.

"Let's go to your room" she whispered to the boy and he followed her leaving the other two behind.

Taehyung looked at Jimin. "Is that how you talk in the presence of Mintae?"

Jimin frowned. "Don't judge my parenting skills. Besides, I've never once cursed in front of him. This is the first time"

Jimin eyed him. "and it's all because i really can't stand you"

He took a deep breath hoping it would calm him down but seeing Taehyung standing there in the middle of his living room made him far more angry than he could describe so he walked towards his wine cabinet and picked out one of the red wines before pouring a drink for himself and downing it in one go.

"Were you never going to tell me?" Taehyung's voice resounded in his head again causing it to pang. Angrily, he turned to face him.

"Actually, if it where up to me, you where never going to find out about Mintae!"

"What about you?"

Jimin stared at him as he continued "Weren't you going to tell me about you?"

He shook his head. "Kim Taehyung, I don't like you and i sure as hell don't think I have a reason to explain myself to you. I despise your very existence and now more than ever, I wish you never came back!"

Taehyung quietened watching as Jimin lashed out on him.

"Do you know what i went through raising a child on my own, transitioning and trying to make my dreams come true?"

Taehyung lowered his eyes.

"It was hell for me. I was treated with scorn everywhere i went. People laughed and mocked me. I was spat at. It was so difficult i thought of killing myself several times"

"I suffered post natal depression for years. It was hard for me to pull through but then I did. Thanks to those who really cared about me, I've become the person that i am today"

Tears where welling up his eyes but he held them back forcefully. He wasn't going to shed a tear in front of this man. Never!

"So you can't just come waltzing back into my life expecting everything to be okay...expecting me to just hand over my child to you"

He shook his head. "You can't do that. Not after everything i went through"

Taehyung sighed. "I could beg but you're never going to listen to me are you?"

Jimin glared at him. "like i said, I don't need your apology. What I need is for you to leave us alone. I don't want you in our lives. I've raised Mintae all on my own and i most certainly don't need your help now"

Taehyung looked frustrated. "Surely, you don't expect me to do that. It would have been different if I didn't know but now I do. You can't expect me to just live as though i know nothing"

Jimin smirked. "That's exactly what i want you to do"

Taehyung ran a hand over his hair. "I can understand if you don't want to have anything to do with me but don't keep me away from Mintae. It's very likely he's already in danger. I need to be there to protect him" he blurted out but then restrained himself when he saw the way Jimin looked at him.

Jimin arched an eyebrow wearing a perplexed look on his face.

"What do you mean?"

Taehyung remained silent for a while causing Jimin to grow more irritated.

"What do you mean by Mintae is already in danger"

Taehyung looked weary. His color had turned pale as he drew out a tired breath.

"There are things you don't know about me, about my life or what really happened ten years ago. Any other person can now find out what i just found out today and then there will be lots of problems"

His voice was eerie causing a shiver to run down his spine.

"What are you talking about? I can't have my son getting into danger because of you"

Taehyung shook his head as Jimin continued.

"If being your son is going to cause problems for Mintae then I suggest you keep away. I can't have him getting involved in whatever mess you're already in"

"I can't do that" Taehyung muttered and Jimin groaned irritably.

"Get out!" he growled and when Taehyung didn't move he shouted harder.

"Get out!"

"You're in a bad mood. We'll talk when you are feeling better"

Jimin doubted he ever would. He watched Taehyung leave the house and he hissed silently. He was bothered by what Taehyung said about Mintae being in danger. What the hell was that about? Was he trying to scare him? He couldn't believe he was in this situation right now.

He gulped more wine perturbed by the thoughts of how Taehyung find out the truth he had been trying to hide all these while. He had meant to ask but he had been too riled up.

Not wanting to add to his headache, he drank more alcohol until Ahjumma Doo min suddenly appeared beside him. He turned to her with slightly tipsy eyes.

"I heard bits and pieces of what you both said. You both were quite loud" The old woman whispered

"What about Mintae?"

"I put him to bed"

Jimin sighed in relief.

Doo min to stared at him quietly. She hesitated before saying the next word. "This is what you where saying i would later find out about. Is he... "

Jimin nodded. "Yes, he is Mintae's father"

Doo min's breath hung but then she heaved and placed a hand over Jimin's shoulder in a reassuring manner.

"This must be really difficult for you" She whispered.

Jimin drew out a heavy breath. "You have no idea. I just wish he had stayed where he was. Now that he's back, everything is upside down"

Doo min shook her head. "I know you will make the right decision. When I first came to work for you, to help you care for Mintae, I couldn't understand why someone would want to change their sex? It really beat my imagination and i struggled to understand you but as I started working for you, getting to know you, I realized that it doesn't matter how you look like, what matters is what's inside here"

She touched his chest as she smiled brightly at him.

"You aren't perfect but you try your best no matter how much you suffer. You are a pure soul Jimin. You're beautiful inside which is why I stopped judging your decision"

Jimin suddenly burst into tears, the alcohol already taking a hold of him.

"I really wish he never came back. That jerk couldn't even open his mouth to say a simple sorry!" He whispered and let his head rest on the crook of the older woman's shoulder.

"I would have made things easier for him but now, I swear I'm going to make him pay. I'm going to torture him till he crawls on his knees begging for my forgiveness" he mumbled sniffing.

Ahjumma Doo min patted his back slowly and Jimin felt more relaxed than he ever did. In the older woman's arms, he felt the motherly love he had never experienced before in his life. He had never hugged her before but now, it felt nice to just let himself be vulnerable for once.

"It's okay Jimin. You'll be okay. Don't let your anger consume you. I don't think this Taehyung of a man is worth any of these tears"

Jimin wiped his eyes. "As if" he muttered and withdrew from the woman.

"But what do I do Ahjumma, I can't just hand Mintae over to Taehyung?"

"Don't bother yourself about that now. You've drunk too much wine. Try to get some sleep. By tomorrow, you'll be level headed enough to deal with this"

Jimin nodded and dragged his feet to his bedroom under the watchful gaze of Doo min. When he got to his room, he slumped on his bed and tried to sleep but despite the alcohol, sleep didn't come. He felt Taehyung's earlier statement about Mintae being in danger was what triggered this this anxiety so he drank water from the mug beside him and went back to bed falling asleep straight away.
