The following days went by as usual. Nothing special happened. All where just waiting for the 'dreaded' day to arrive. Jimin tried to act like everything was okay but people could tell that he was bothered. Jimin told Hoseok about his problem but his friend had no solution to give to him. No one could really help him except himself.

It finally came. The night before, Jimin found himself drinking some wine as he tried to put his mind at ease but nothing was helping not even the alcohol. Taehyung entered the living room unable to sleep that night. He was feeling restless maybe because of Jimin's terrible mood these days so when he saw him sitting on the couch with a bottle of alcoholic wine at 2:o'am in the morning, Taehyung knew he couldn't ignore him.

Sighing, he walked over to him. Without saying a word, he grabbed a cup and poured a drink for himself while Jimin watched him surprised by his presence. Taehyung slumped beside him as he took a full gulp of the liquid.

"What are you doing Jimin?" He said wearing a smug smile on his face.

Jimin raised his brows "Don't you think i should be asking you the same thing?"

Taehyung sighed. "couldn't sleep"

"Same here" Jimin answered after taking in a deep breath. There was silence for a while before the sound of Taehyung coughing interrupted the peaceful atmosphere. Jimin looked at him and noticed the small smirk on his lips.

"You know, i'm kinda disappointed!" He suddenly said causing Jimin to be surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"You gave me the impression that you were tough, ready to take on any situation..."

He paused for a while and grinned. "You where even ready to take me on but now, I think I may be wrong about you cause you're acting like a big coward"

Anger flashed in Jimin's eyes.

"Did you just call me a coward?"

Taehyung nodded his head non chalantly. "I guess i did"

Jimin burst into bitter laughter. "Who do you think you are? Do you think it's easy? Do you have any idea how people will look at me?"

Taehyung frowned so hard, it was as if the veins in his face would pop out any moment. He ground his teeth in fury as he spoke.

"Then why did you decide to change yourself when you weren't ready for the consequences"

Taehyung grabbed his arm so hard that his finger nails dug into his skin. Jimin felt the burning pain.

"Taehyung, I...."

"You should have thought of this before you made a decision. Now you are going to have to deal with it Jimin. No more running...no more hiding. No more being a coward"

He let him go harshly and Jimin let out a heavy breath confused by Taehyung's sudden change of mood. He could still see anger shining in his eyes as he looked him over.

"Stop drinking. You have to be sober for tomorrow" he said in a low heavy tone and walked away.

Jimin was speechless. He could only look at the wine on the table pondering to himself why Taehyung was so angry. Nevertheless, he didn't drink again and the next morning, he was filled with a new resolve. To prove Taehyung wrong. He wasn't a coward.

That morning, they prepared as usual. Jimin seemed to be in a better mood than the previous days as he prepared breakfast while whistling to himself. Taehyung didn't say anything. He just quietly watched him. They had both cancelled their appointments so they had time to go for the meeting at Mintae's school.

When everything was set, Mintae and Taehyung waited outside for Jimin who was taking so long to come out of the house.

"Tae, it's getting late. Where's Appa?"

"He's still getting ready" he answered.

Mintae groaned impatiently. Taehyung began to think that Jimin was probably thinking of chickening out when he suddenly appeared in front of the house.

"Wow!" Mintae was the first to exclaim as he saw Jimin.

Taehyung was speechless watching Jimin dressed in a white turtle neck top, sparkly jeans and boots. His hair was dyed silver and curled up at the front. He hung a black biker jacket over his shoulders holding a small purse in his hand which had a very expensive silver watch wrapped around his wrist. To complete the look, dark sunglasses covered his eyes.

"Wow! Appa, you are a fashionista" Mintae said putting up a thumbs up sign.

Jimin turned to Taehyung whose face was flushed pink.

"What do you think? How do i look?"

"Why are you asking me?" Taehyung stammered gulping hard.

Jimin frowned. "I don't care what you think. I know I look good" he hissed and strutted over to the car.

"Shall we?" He said and they all entered. As they drove, the car was silent. Jimin's fingers where attacking each other. Taehyung noticed but he said nothing for a while.

"Calm down..." He finally whispered and Jimin looked at him. Taehyung looked back and gave him a small smile. For some reason, Jimin felt better after that. They finally arrived at the school, parking their car at the school park. Today, there where a lot of cars signifying that there where a lot of people here today.

When they came out, Jimin hoped he wasn't trembling too much.

"Jimin, you're shaking a lot" Taehyung said Immediately.

"Huh?" He whispered but Taehyung just grabbed his hand squeezing it tightly.

"You can do this. We can do this" he said smiling reassuringly. That was the first time he Jimin felt that Taehyung really wanted to help him. He nodded his head and took Mintae's hand and the three walked into the school.

At the waiting room, they where met by Mintae's teacher. She had a kind smile on her face as she bowed her head in front of them.

"You are welcome Mintae's parents. We haven't officially introduced ourselves to each other. I'm Miss Lee, Mintae's home room teacher and you both are..."

"Jimin and Taehyung..." Taehyung answered

Miss Lee smiled in discomfort "I don't dare to be formal..."

"It's alright. Just call us by our names" Jimin said surprising himself that he even spoke. The woman looked at him with awe in her eyes. She looked like she was pondering over something.

"You look really familiar" she whispered but then shook her head and turned to Mintae who was still holding Jimin's hand.

"Mintae, why don't you head off to class now?" She said.

Mintae nodded and waved at them before heading to his class. As he approached his class room, he saw that the door was opened and his class mates where peeping out of the window to stare at his parents. He was wondering what they where doing when Bam Bam and Soo bin suddenly appeared beside him grabbing his shoulder as they poked their heads out of the classroom door staring towards the direction of Jimin and Taehyung.

"Are they really your Dads?" Bam Bam said, his eyes twinkling.

Mintae nodded his head.

Soo bin's eyes widened.

"Mintae, your dads look so cool. They're so handsome"

"What?" Mintae said blinking back at them.

"That jacket, that hair. The smaller dad looks so pretty" Bam Bam Bam praised.

Mintae couldn't believe his ears. "You like my dads cause they look cool?"

Soo bin nodded "My dad looks different with big bellies and balding hair but not yours...they are so my style"

Mintae was confused "I thought you didn't like them because they are gay"

They both blushed. "Well, that was before we saw them" Bam added.

The entire class suddenly held their breathe when Jimin and Taehyung passed. Jimin stopped and smiled at Mintae who was still by the door with Bam Bam and Soo bin then he walked off leaving the fragrance of his perfume behind.

"He smiled at me!" Bam Bam screamed hysterically.

"No you idiot. He was smiling at his son Mintae" Soo bin said rolling his eyes.

Bam Bam wrapped an arm around Mintae. "Your dads are so my style. Could they adopt me too? We could be brothers you know"

Mintae shook his head and walked towards his seat ignoring the two boys. Before long, he was crowded by his class mates asking about his dads. Who knew having two hot dads was going to boost his social life. He had been worried for nothing. His heart suddenly swelled with pride.

Jimin and Taehyung where led by Miss Lee to a large hall where the rest of the parents where all gathered having a meal. As soon as they entered, the chatters stopped and all eyes turned to them. The principal who was seated at the front of the hall rushed over to them. She smiled hesitantly at Taehyung who forced back a smile remembering their last encounter.

"You're welcome. You must be Mintae's parents" she said.

"Please do come and seat"

She led them to an empty table. Jimin and Taehyung wondered why they where feasting instead of having a meeting but they said nothing and just sat down.

"Unbelievable, so we are letting all sorts of people into this place now to corrupt the minds of our young ones" A voice spat out harshly.

Everyone turned to stare at a beautiful woman dressed extravagantly. Her make up was dark and heavy. She had so many jewelries around her body including piercings on her nose.

"Mrs Jang...." The principal said wearing a weak smile on her face.

"What? Is it a lie? You are staining the moral of your school inviting such people here" Mrs Jang went on.

Jimin's face heat up with anger but Taehyung held his hand to calm him down.

"Mrs Jang, these gentlemen are still parents to one of our children so they are afforded the same respect regardless of who they are"

Mrs Jang scoffed and turned her face away to whisper to two women sitting beside her. They looked at Jimin and Taehyung with a haghty look on their faces. Miss Lee sighed and began to speak.

"So we will present to you all the over all evaluation of the children this year and tell you many of their weaknesses and seek for ways to solve them"

She passed around some papers and they all looked at it. Taehyung and Jimin smiled when they saw that Mintae was the top of his class but saddened immediately when they saw low self-esteem scribbled at the bottom.

They suddenly heard a loud bang.

"This is outrageous. How can Bam Bam come second to this Park Mintae. Who is he anyway?" Mrs Jang yelled

"Our son!" Taehyung muttered and the woman scoffed.

"Your son?" She grinned. "How could such a child have parents such as you both?"

Taehyung tightened his fist. "Maam, don't you think you are going too far?"

"Am i going too far?" She laughed. " I don't think so. People like you deserve to be treated like the piece of scum you really are... How dare you try to be just like everyone else. What a joke. People like you disgust me so much"

"Disgust?" Jimin said getting up as he stared at the woman with red eyes.

"Mrs Jang. This is not the right place for this kind of thing" The principal said.

"Why not? This is the best place as any. I can do what ever I want since I'm the biggest sponsor in this damned school. I'm the one who even sponsored today's meeting. All these food you're enjoying is all because of me"

Jimin suddenly laughed. "Really? Do your you think we're a joke? Taehyung can even buy this school twice over!"

Everyone gasped. Jimin continued. "Even I can do it so stop feeling like you are on top of the world because of that"

The women who where beside her giggled. She glared at them but she was unaware of the bomb Jimin was about to throw at her next " looking at you, I can see you are just one big sad pathetic woman"

Everyone gasped again. It seemed no one had ever spoken to Miss Jang in this manner before. She stumbled in shock.

Jimin put a hand under his chin as he studied the dumb struck woman. "Judging from your body posture, your life looks like it's is in a big mess. The dull color tone you picked for your outfit today shows that you are clearly thinking so much you can't even take care of yourself"

He looked at her all over. "There are dark circles under your eyes which tells me you don't sleep at all. You have the fashion style of a divorcee with a drinking problem who has nearly lost everything she has but will still like to put up a farce that she's in control so that the rest of the world doesn't know how empty she really is"

There was pin drop silence. Mrs Jang shivered. Her entire body turned pale as she stared at Jimin through watery eyes.

"How... how did you...."

"I just took one look at you and I could tell"

Mrs Jang was red with embarrassment as Jimin continued.

"I can take anyone's insults but no one should bring Taehyung into this. He has nothing to do with this. He's not even gay. I'm the one who is different. I'm the one who decided to change my sex"

At that, the hall erupted into an uproar.

"But it doesn't mean that I'm less than human just because of that. Neither me nor my family should be treated differently because of my decision"

Jimin was unaware that Taehyung was calmly staring at him as he spoke.

"So I'm not apologizing for anything and I'm not begging for your acceptance either because I'm me. I'm beautiful both outside and inside and I'm not ashamed of it."

No body said anything. Not Mrs Jang, not the parents, Miss Lee or the principal. Suddenly someone spoke.

"It's really you, Park Jimin"

It was one of the women beside Mrs Jang whom she had whispered to. She walked past Mrs Jang and walked towards Jimin to show him her phone. She had googled him on the internet.

"I knew i recognized you when I saw you. You are Park Jimin, a very famous fashion designer"

People suddenly began to speak up that they recognized him. Jimin could hardly believe it when many of them praised him for his designs which some of them had even bought. Jimin was so happy, his face was full of smiles. Things had turned out so much better than he had expected. He had been worrying over what people would think of him forgetting that he was a gem. He was Park fucking Jimin.

Later, Jimin ordered for the parents, Miss Lee and the principal exquisite unisex bags which he had designed. He even ordered for Mrs Jang. It took his company twenty minutes to bring about fifty bags to the school. They where all happy and Jimin found himself making friends with some of them. He eventually apologized to Mrs Jang for embarrassing her.

"I'm sorry. I asked for it. The truth is my husband left me and my son for his gay lover" Mrs Jang explained.

Jimin finally understood her trauma as she continued with a sad look on her face. "So whenever i see gay people or anyone from the LGBTQ community, i loose control. I'm really sorry. I guess I have to finally move on from the pain. I guess my hatred affected my son Bam Bam so when you picked up on my issues, I felt so dirty and exposed"

Jimin stroke her shoulder. "It's okay. I just hope you can finally let go and stop hurting other people for the mistake of one man"

Mrs Jang nodded. "I will try"

They parted on a good note, even exchanging numbers. It was afternoon when the meeting ended. Jimin and Taehyung where led by Miss Lee to Mintae's class room.

When they got there, they both noticed how the little children's faces lit brightly as they saw them. They too where collected by their parents but the kids stared at them intently till they left.

Taehyung watched Mintae and Jimin. They looked happy as they entered the car.

"Did something good happen today Mintae?" He asked.

"Everyone at school thinks my dads are so handsome and cool. Because of that, they all started to talk to me even Bam Bam and Soo bin"

"Bam Bam Mrs Jangs son?" Jimin said. Taehyung nodded. As he was about to drive, he felt a hand on his. He turned and saw Jimin staring at him softly.

"Thank you Taehyung. I wouldn't have had this much courage if it weren't for you" he whispered and suddenly hugged him wrapping his arms around his neck while he stroke his back It was a long hug but when they separated, their gazes locked intensely, their faces merely inches apart.

Jimin's face went red. His palms started to sweat as he stared back into Taehyung's solid brown eyes. He tried to conjure up Yoongi's face to stop his heart from beating fast because of the man in front of him but nothing was working.

"Are you guys going to kiss?" Mintae suddenly blurted out and they pulled away as if they've been scorched by fire. That definitely worked and Jimin didn't think he could look at Taehyung again at least not for the rest of the day. What was he doing? Taehyung was straight but the way he had looked at him...

"Ehem" Taehyung cleared his throat nervously and started the car. Mintae said nothing and just snickered.

"You where so going to kiss" he whispered.

What a brat. Jimin thought to himself unable to look at Taehyung's. As the car moved, silence settled in again so he switched on the radio and a soft song began to play. Jimin remembered what happened today as he gazed out the window. For the first time in his life, he felt really truly happy to be himself.
