Mr. Park took a second to think about what he just saw on his own son's neck and stood in the kitchen with his hands planted against the kitchen counters and his eyes locked onto it as well. “No… It can't be. He wouldn't have gotten it from Jungkook. Jungkook has a girlfriend! I know very well that boy would never cheat on the girl he's been with for two years straight!” Mr. Park complained and took a double take outside the kitchen to see Jimin pressing his head against Jungkook's shoulder happily. “Maybe it was just a one-time thing… where Jimin just couldn't keep his hands to himself. I know Jimin isn't girls at all… So, this could only mean Jungkook…”

           The elder then sighed to himself as he set the containers out of the leather bag along with the thermo filled with hot soup. He originally planned to leave to take care of Jimin himself, but the elder began to wonder if this was all a trick for Jungkook to have the vulnerable astronaut in his arms. The thought of it made Mr. Park grow silent and tilt his head at the sour thought that overcame him. He just didn't know what to do but just pull Jungkook aside to talk to him when the time was right. Until then, Mr. Park watched the two pay attention to the show they watched, ‘The Cosmos' while they were in contact happily and never broke off for one second at all.

           Eventually, Jimin fell asleep with his hot fever dropping from a dangerous state. Jungkook smiled just knowing that Jimin's illness wouldn't follow him out for a whole week, which will have to mean that Mr. Park wasn't going to stay for that long. As Jimin closed his eyes to take a short nap right by his boyfriend, Jungkook took the chance to pause the episode they were on and turn off the television to then take Jimin to his own room.

           “Jeon Jungkook, what are you doing?” Mr. Park asked as Jungkook carried his lover into his arms.

             “I'm taking him to bed. He fell asleep… I'll be quick.” The younger claimed and walked off with his hands holding Jimin's body with the older's head over his shoulder. Jungkook carried Jimin to the room and had his hands fixed over Jimin's rear until he set him onto the bed within the astronomy room. “I love you, Mochi.” Jungkook whispered as Jimin opened his eyes slightly and tugged the collar of Jungkook's black sleeved shirt to pull him close enough to make him stay for a kiss. Almost instantly, Jungkook pulled back and looked down at Jimin's sly grin plastered across his pale face. “A-Are you crazy?”

            “It's just a kiss~” Jimin whispered and wrapped his arms around his lover's neck to pull him in closer and have their noses touch. “He's not here, so I wanted to kiss you…”

             “Mochi, you're going to get us in big trouble! and by us, I mean me!” Jungkook whispered and moved up to pin Jimin's hands above his head so suddenly. “Just for a week… Okay? Get some rest. If you need anything, let me know.” The man mentioned. By there, Jungkook got up and started walking to the door when Jimin suddenly called out to him.

               “Jungkook…” Jimin called out and smiled happily to hide his sick and pale face. “I need one more thing.”

                “What is it, Mochi?”

                “You~” Jimin cooed as Jungkook laughed and blew a kiss to his lover before walking off and closing the door behind himself. Jungkook was worried to have Jimin flirt with him especially since Mr. Park was around them constantly. Yet, Jungkook had no intentions to turn down the fact that he was with Jimin when questioned. However, showing how much he loved him blindly around Mr. Park was something Jungkook held back on.

               “Ah, I guess we can't hug to sleep or-” Jungkook's thoughts were quickly cut off once his eyes met with Mr. Park at the end of the hall with his arms folded. “Mr. Park?”

               “Let's talk, Jeon Jungkook…” Spoke the elder as Jungkook felt a shiver shoot through his spine. He began to fear losing his place as Jimin's caretaker, and having to wake up next to Jimin every day seemed to stretch further and further away. “Come on, just you and I. I won't bite.” Mr. Park spoke and Jungkook followed with fear weighing in on him with every step he took forward until he was out of the hall.

              “What's wrong, Mr. Park?”

              “Take off your shirt.” The elder ordered as Jungkook rose his brow and tilted his head. “Do it. I just want to see something.”

               “O-Okay…” Jungkook whispered and took off his long sleeved, black, shirt to expose his chest where Mr. Park walked around the young man to spot the scratch marks on his back. It didn't hit Jungkook until he watched Mr. Park walk behind him; that's when Jungkook dropped his shirt over his chest again and quickly turned around to see Mr. Park folding his arms. “M-Mr. Park…”

               “Are you with my son? Did you and him… have sex?” The elder asked as Jungkook gulped and looked at the ground. “I'm not going to kill you. All I'm asking is for you to confirm it. I know Jimin isn't into girls, I know he didn't give himself that hickey and I know for sure that those scars on your back isn't from any ghost or bad spirit. I just knew this was going on, well?”

            “Yes… I'm not going to deny it. I am in a relationship with Jimin. I broke up with Lee-Young for a month now and I've been with your son… I care about him so much…” Jungkook confessed and looked up at the elder. “What are you going to do to us? Break us up like Namjoon and him?”

             “It's not about that I'm worried about. I'm shocked but the two of you are old enough to do something like that… I'm still shocked… But I'm upset about something else.” Mr. Park claimed and stepped forward to glare at his son's boyfriend. “Was this your intention? Have you even tried to cure him after a month, or are you just busy playing doctor?”

            “Mr. Park, I never thought I'd fall in love with him… I looked up to him and-”

             “Listen, he got sick three times already under your watch. Fall in love, I don't care… But what I do care about is when his health is delayed like this. Did you even treat his phobias? What about his social anxiety? I haven't heard him mention even once that he's been out of your sight or left to leave the house on his own to overcome that fear.” Mr. Park claimed as Jungkook kept his gaze down. Knowing well that he shouldn't look up at the elder when he was being scolded. “I think along the way… You've become bad for him. Jimin needs to adjust to society, when have you thought of doing that for him?”

            “I'm scared of helping him on that, Mr. Park… last time I tried, he cried, hugging his knees at the supermarket and I just couldn't see him go through that again… I'm sorry.”

             “That's alright. I should thank you for doing your job. Maybe you should think about going back to the facility some time soon. I'm sure I can take Jimin from here. You love him too much to hurt him like that.” The elder spoke and dropped his own folded arms to his hips. “You'll see him at the facility. Just not living in here for you to take care of him.” Claimed Mr. Park and with that, the older walked off to the room where Jimin was to talk to his son about taking him back to the care unit at the facility.

          Jungkook was quiet and felt the pain and embarrassment as if it was his fault from the very start. He only wished he didn't touch Jimin that night to make him sick and call the elder over like this. “I hate this…” Jungkook hissed to himself and heard the door to Jimin's bedroom close shut.

             Back in Jimin's room, Jimin's sleep was interrupted when he heard his own father rummaging through his own cabinets and delving through the dressers as well. With all the ruckus going on, Jimin opened his eyes to finally find his father packing clothes into a luggage.

            “F-Father?” Jimin asked as he swiftly sat up and looked around to see that Jungkook wasn't in the room with him. “What are you doing?”

            “You can't get better if your boyfriend is too scared of treating your broken pain.” Claimed Mr. Park as Jimin quickly got off the bed. “Don't even try to lie to me, Jimin. I saw the mark on your neck and the scars on his back. You're not fooling anyone. He just loved you too much to help you with your social anxiety.”

            “T-That can't be the only reason why you want to take me away from him…”

             “You're right. It's the fact that you've gotten sick three times under his watch, you've been here for a month and still no recovery to get back to work! Jimin… You're so attached to him, you need to learn how to live without him by your side. You may think I do this to come between your relationship once again, but I won't. I could care less about who you love as long as they don't hurt you. However, Jungkook is hurting you in a way you don't know! You're so weak… so fragile, your health shouldn't be played with.”

             “J-Jungkook will take me out! I promise and I'll get over it! Then I'll get back to work, I promise! Please… please don't do this…” Jimin begged and held his father's hands from grabbing another shirt and shoving it into the luggage.

             “Look at you… you've become obsessed with Jeon Jungkook to the point where you can't bear the thought of being pulled away from him.”

             “I love him… That's why I don't want to let go of him.” Confessed Jimin and this alone made Mr. Park scoff.

             “Love? What do you know about love, Jimin? If you loved Namjoon back then, why did you leave him instead of fighting for him? You don't know love… You're just desperate after hours and days of isolation in space. Don't worry, after I take you from here… You'll get over him and Jungkook wouldn't be anywhere near the word love uttering from your mouth.” Jimin's father concluded and by there, Jimin clenched his fist and shook his head.

            “You're doing it again… You don't want me to have him… Just like Namjoon! You said I was just desperate from isolation in my training that I stuck to him like nothing! Father… I love Jungkook and I'm not going to let you ruin me again… You're the reason why I went to the expedition on the first place!” Jimin rose his voice as it cracked halfway. “Why do you do this to me…? I'm going to be alone forever if you keep trying to ‘protect’ me….”

               “You really think that being by Jungkook every day is going to help your anxiety? Some day… not now, Jungkook is going to love someone else and you're going to be in pain knowing that he was by your side through it all and not once, you learned to be on your own.” Mr. Park rose his voice and made Jimin tear up. “Let's go, I need to take you to the facility care unit.”

             “I'm not going… Jungkook is going to help me…” Jimin responded. With that, Mr. Park dropped the luggage and shrugged.

             “Fine. Go right ahead…” Mr. Park said and walked to the door. “I'll wait for you at the care unit. If you don't want to go over there on your own, I know for sure Jungkook would send you there himself. After all, it's his job to make sure you'll be okay.” The elder then left the room and left Jimin to choose for his own at last. Jimin felt proud for overcoming everything like that, but it also came with guilt that his relationship with his father grew far and cold like the planet Pluto to the sun; even with the rest of the planets in the solar system. Jimin felt so big at that moment, but that alone gave him feelings of becoming so small.

              Jimin stood up for himself, but what did it mean to him now? Jimin made his father leave when he was just trying to help him get cured. As far as Pluto stretched from the sun and planets, Jimin just felt like he was doing the right thing and not letting his father get in between his heart once again. However, was he doing the right thing at the end of the day?
