"Jimin, this is Agust."

A small boy with the age of four, perhaps even five clung to who was without a doubt his father. It was clear in the features of the toddler that the man who held him had given him half his genes although he made it seem as if he had been inherited them all from his father alone. The shape of the boy's eyes to the shape of his lips were just like Yoongi's. Even the complexion of the skin was just like the one of the arms holding up the small being.

Jimin smiled after what seemed too long of a shocked expression. He could not speak so instead of properly saying hello the little boy, he raised his hand to wave it. Agust did the same. Like Jimin, the child kept quiet while he was strapped into his proper chair. It was all happening so fast that before they knew it they were stopped in front of Jimin's house.

"I'll come pick you up for work if you'd like me to." Yoongi said nervously. Jimin had not spoken the whole ride back and this was the first time that he asked for a response. The man simply nodded then stepped out. He's mind still seemed blank except for the alerting screaming voice which informed him that his partner had a child he had no knowledge of. Jimin only got on to the sidewalk before he was forced to speak again.

"I'm really sorry, Jimin." Yoongi said in a low voice as to not be heard by the child still in the car. "I meant to tell you sooner and this was definitely not how I wanted to. His mother got called to work earlier than usual so I had no choice to but to go pick him up... Are you mad at me?"

It couldn't be said for sure whether or not the emotion Jimin was feeling was anger for he did not know exactly what he was feeling. He shrugged with a blank face for it was all he could muster in that second. His eyes flickered from Yoongi to the child peering his curious self to see what was going on. He smiled to the little boy that resembled so much of his father then looked to his partner. After seeing the young face of innocence Jimin knew he wasn't angry.

"I'm not mad at you. I can't be angered by a child who I don't know. Why don't you bring him upstairs so I can tell you after how I feel?"

Yoongi was clearly taken back by the respond as was Jimin. He was still in shock by the existence of the child yet he was not in any way repulsed by him. Jimin was curious to know Agust as was the kid to know him. Yoongi agreed in doing as his partner asked. Agust jumped to the sidewalk the moment he was released from the straps that trapped him. He said nothing as he rushed his way to Jimin's side where his father too stayed by.

"He doesn't talk much to those he doesn't know." Yoongi whispered. "But just wait until he gets comfortable and he just won't shut up."

Jimin chuckled. "You mean just like yourself?"

At the laughter of the adults Agust looked back confused. He became frightened the slightest bit which led him to cling on the Yoongi until they made it into the apartment. Once set down on the floor the child was still unfamiliar therefore stood close to his father who was following Jimin into the kitchen.

"Go sit on the couch, Agust."

"No." The boy pouted. "I don't- Kitty!"

In matters of a few seconds the child was on the other side of the room being handed over the kitten that was once in Jimin's hands. He carried Koshy with care as instructed back to the living room where he was to sit until told otherwise. The adults were left alone at last with the sound of a cartoon in the background.

"I've got a lot of explaining to do."

"Yeah, you do." Jimin sighed. "I honestly don't understand how you've kept him a secret for so long. I would have expected something this big to come out when you drink too much."

At the claim Yoongi chuckled. "Please. I am careful unlike Taehyung who tells all his secrets with every detail possible and then forgets the next day. I honestly think he still doesn't know that we know he keeps his 'safety' money hidden in a teddy bear."

"This is bigger than money in a teddy bear, Yoongi." Jimin sighed. "Your secret owns a teddy bear!"

The joking atmosphere left for it was true what Jimin was exclaiming. This that Yoongi had kept secret was not an object with worth like money. He had a child which speaking in terms of money value was beyond it. Yoonig began by apologizing once more then explained himself while Jimin prepared them their first proper meal of the day.

Agust was the result of a drunk night during a summer night visiting home. Yoongi had been visiting his home when he bumped into a high school sweetheart at a party thrown by a mutual friend. The two had not ended badly which was why they were not opposed to catching up which ended up being a bad idea given both were already intoxicated. One thing led to another and Yoongi got a call while at the academy with the news of his unborn child. He had not been in agreement to keeping the child, but he knew he could not tell the woman what to do with her own body so he accepted the fact that the child would be born. Despite his displeasure with her choice, he stayed by her to help with who was also his responsibility. Agust turned two when he moved to where his father currently lives with his mother which allowed for Yoongi to become closer with his child.

Jimin sat back astonished to hear the whole story behind the child. He was even more impressed with Yoongi. A new sense of respect rose for the man that Jimin couldn't help but waltz over to him to kiss his cheek.

"I'm proud of you."

"For what?"

"For choosing to stay even after saying you didn't want for things to turn out the way they did. Not many men would do that." Jimin said softly. "Now, why don't you properly introduce me to him?"

The two walked into the living room where Agust was propped on the couch still watching the cartoon with the cat in his lap. He was just like Yoongi every time he was over. Jimin was careful in taking a seat besides him so he could not cause the boy to be startled. Yoongi put his hand on his son's shoulder as he introduced Jimin as his work partner. He decided it wouldn't be right to introduce him as anything else just yet, but if the time came he would. Agust greeted Jimin again like he hadn't before. They shook hands then the boy turned his attention back to the bright colors on the screen.

"Which is your favorite hero?" Jimin asked as the two main characters of the show presented themselves in heroic poses on the screen. The question seem to light a burning fuel in Agust as he perked up and yelled the name of the female character.

"Really?" Jimin asked surprised. "I like the kitty."

"Don't tell me you watch this too! Jimin!" Yoongi exclaimed as he could almost not believe his partner. "Seriously!?"

"Ladybug! Ladybug!" Agust chanted as his parent stood looking awfully disappointed at his work partner. Yoongi eventually sat besides Jimin and joined them in watching the show that was surprising interesting. Every episode came a different villain which made it so much better. Half way through an episode Jimin decided to check his phone. He found himself looking at a few miscalls from his colleagues. He dialed back to his latest call.

Hoseok answered sounding quite panicked.

"They're onto us."
