"Daddy, daddy! Can we get Papa Tata his favorite ice cream? I know papa has a boo-boo but I don't think your kisses are enough for it to disappear because it's a big boo-boo!" Jeongguk regrets feeding him chocolates before they even set foot outside their house.

The little boy threw a tantrum at him when he said that they'll be returning back to the hospital to fetch Taehyung and help him with his things. Storm doesn't really hate hospitals, he just doesn't want to see his Papa lying down the hospital bed with some paraphernalia attached to his body. "It looks like Papa Tata had been abducted by aliens and they're turning him into one of them because of those things attached to him!" Was what he said before sulking in the corner.

"Whatever you want, Stormy. But Daddy's kisses are enough for Papa's boo-boo to go away though. Are you doubting me?" Jeongguk playfully asks that resulted to Storm stopping on his tracks. He then waddles towards his father and clings tight into his left leg like a koala. Jeongguk could only laugh at the funny antics his son would always pull off. He opens the door of the convenience store they luckily passed by and accompanied Storm to choose his ice cream.

"Will Papa Tata like this vanilla or strawberry flavored one?" The little boy asked, resting his index finger on his chin. His gaze goes back and forth the two flavors of ice cream and then he looks at his father for a confirmation.

"Strawberry, buddy. Papa Tata loves strawberries, remember?" Jeongguk answers, ruffling his son's hair. "Stay here for awhile, buddy. I'll go get you some banana milk." Jeongguk disappears down the aisle and when he comes back, Storm was too engrossed staring at the baby which was inside the stroller. He stands on his tippy toes to get a good look at the baby who was sucking her pacifier, hands clapping with delight as soon as she sees a big baby in front of her. Jeongguk smiles and sends an apologetic look to the mother, even though the latter clearly didn't mind at all because she was also looking at the two with a smile on her face.

Jeongguk encouraged Storm to say goodbye to the baby so that they could pay and exit the store. After doing so, they walked their way towards the hospital which was thankfully not too far. They were walking in silence but not too long after, Storm continuously tugs Jeongguk by the hand.

"What is it, buddy?"

"Was that a baby?"

"Yes. That was a baby back there, Stormy."

"Will that baby grow up like me?"

Jeongguk sends him an amused look.

"Of course. All babies grow big when the time is right, Stormy."

"When they grow up, do I get to play with them?"

Intrigued, Jeongguk bends down on his knees so that he could talk to his son face to face. He holds him firmly by the waist before nodding.

"Of course, buddy. Why are you asking me this?"

Storm looks down at his feet, his hands clasped at his back.

"C-can you and Papa Tata give me one?"

Jeongguk almost chokes after hearing the question from his son. Never did he ever expected for Storm to say something like this. He thought Storm just wanted a playmate or a toy or whatever. But a baby? Like his and Taehyung's baby? Oh god.

"It's almost my birthday and I really really want a baby. It's okay if you don't give me a party just like what you do every year. All I want is a baby." Jeongguk scanned his son's face just to make sure that he was serious of his request. When he confirms that his son was not joking- at all- he scratches his head, not really sure of what to say.

"Uh, how about you tell that to Papa Tata, alright?"

"Mm, okay!" The little boy exclaims with excitement.

When they arrive in front of Taehyung's hospital room, Storm instantly rushes inside, jumping up and down in front of his papa so that he could sit on his lap. Jeongguk almost scolded him but when he noticed that Taehyung was already dressed- hands free from needles- and was ready to go, a relieved sigh escapes his lips.

"What's got you so excited today, buddy? Did you drink a lot of banana milk?" Taehyung asks, eyeing the bag Jeongguk was holding. The latter almost forgot about the ice cream, so he goes through the bag and hands the strawberry-flavored one to Taehyung. The older gives him a smile of gratitude before focusing his attention back to Storm.

"I saw a baby before coming here!"

"Did you play with the baby?"

"No! But my birthday's soon and I told daddy not to throw a party because I'm wishing for a baby instead! Daddy told me that I should tell you this, too. So will you and daddy give me a baby for my birthday, papa? Will you? Will you?" Storm couldn't contain his excitement anymore and Taehyung knows because of the way his body was shaking in his grasp. Taehyung grins, though he knows it's more likely a grimace, and looks at Jeongguk for help.

'Don't look at me! I don't know what to say, either!' The younger mouths, eyes going wide in fear when Taehyung narrows his eyes in annoyance.

"Stormy, honey, isn't that a bit too much?" Taehyung panics when he sees a pout forming on Storm's lips. "I mean, your daddy and I just got together and as much as we'd like to give you what you want, it's too soon, darling." He paused for a while to caress the child's soft cheeks. "Plus, it's a complex process, sweetheart. How about this, when you're big enough, your daddy and I promise to give you one. For now, we'll just focus on you, our one and only baby!" Taehyung says cheerfully, booping the child's nose. Storm seems to be contented at the answer because after that, no words were spoken about babies again.

"Tae, come on! Get your fucking ass out from there, someone's here to see you!" Taehyung groans and rolls his eyes heavenwards when he hears Jeongguk's loud voice from outside the cubicle. He opens the door and was ready to shout at his boyfriend for disturbing his gay panic, but before he could even utter a single word, he stands frozen when he sees someone unexpected in front of him.

"Hoseok hyung? Is that... is that you?" He whispers, tears starting to form on the corner of his eyes. His cousin beams widely at him.

"My Taetae! Hyung's finally home!" He exclaims. He wasn't prepared of the surprise hug Taehyung gave him. He almost loses his balance when the younger jumps and wraps his legs around his waist, good thing he was close to the sink and he instantly leaned on it to support both of their weights.

"I can't believe you're finally here! I missed you so much! Oh my God!" Taehyung squeals, showering the lad with a lot of kisses on the face. Jeongguk, who was watching the encounter, smiles widely before taking an exit and leaving the two to catch up... yes, inside the bathroom. He started walking back to the waiting area outside the ER but then his phone vibrates inside his pocket.

Jimin enters the coffee shop, immediately scanning the area to find his boyfriend- well, soon to be ex-boyfriend. When he spots the mint-haired boy among the sea of people, his heart almost collapses at the sight and a great wave of panic hits him. He doesn't want to face him, yet, but he has to for the sake of his own sanity. He takes a deep breath and moves his way towards the table at the very corner of the room. When he sits down across Yoongi, his gaze softens once he sees the latter's face- all red and worn-out.

"I ordered you your favorite milkshake-"

"Let's just get to the point, Yoongi, please."

Yoongi exhales wearily, his nails are now starting to dig in to the flesh of the skin on his thumb. He bites his bottom lip hard til he tastes the blood coming out from it. Jimin worries at this, because he knows about Yoongi's anxiety. Despite him being upset, he sets it aside and takes Yoongi's hands in his own to help him calm down.

"Chim, I- I fucked up... big time. I lied to you, I used you. I was in love with someone else, no, I'm still in love with someone else. I forced myself to love you, just because I wanted to move on. I wanted to forget that person whom I love so dearly, but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. I promised myself to look at you and only you, but my eyes would always fail me. I'm sorry. I'm so selfish, I didn't think of you and your feelings. I'm really sorry," Yoongi says in between sobs.

Jimin doesn't cry, though. He promised himself that he will not cry again. There were no more tears to shed because before this, he had already accepted that Yoongi was never meant to be his.

"Thank you... for being honest with me. I knew all along, Yoongi hyung. You weren't subtle at all. Even before we became boyfriends, I knew. Do you think I'm blind enough not to see the way you look at him with so much love and fondness? Do you think I'm dumb enough not to notice how you worry for him, the way you talk about him every second of everyday? I knew all along, but I gave you a chance because I was hoping that maybe one day, you'll get to look at me that way, too. I was hoping that maybe one day, you'll tell me that you love me too without thinking of anyone else, but me," Jimin says, failing himself, yet again, when he tastes the saltiness of his own tears.

"I made myself believe that maybe one day you'd finally love me for me, and not just the idea of loving me because you were desperate to shake off the feelings you have for him. I knew you loved Taehyung, but I kept my silence because I wanted to hear it from you. I wanted to make sure that I was correct, and my instincts didn't fail me. Remember two days ago, you told me you weren't feeling well. You cancelled our movie night but I went to your apartment and guess what? I heard everything... and it was enough for me to confirm all these speculations I have in mind..."

"It hurts, hyung. It hurts because no matter how much you used me, no matter how much you ignored me because I wasn't him, I still love you..."

"Chim..."

"But he's happy now... he's with my best friend and I know Jungkook will take good care of him. You don't have to worry... I just... I just want you to be happy, too. And I'll do whatever it takes to see that smile on your face again, even if it means letting you go," Jimin whispers, giving Yoongi a forced smile.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, hyung. You don't have to pretend that you're happy with me. That you love me. You're free now. Please, seek for your happiness so that I can truly say that this sacrifice that I'm making will be worth it in the end. Promise me that."

"Chim, no. No please don't. I lo-"

"No, you don't, Yoongi. Stop lying to yourself. Stop lying to me."

"I can't..."

"You can, and you will. Goodbye, Min Yoongi. This heart of mine will always belong to you," Jimin brings Yoongi's hands together before leaning in and kissing his knuckles. His lips linger on Yoongi's skin for a minute, before finally letting go and standing up.

"Chim don't... don't go..."

"I want to be happy, too, Min. Please, let me go," he whispers one last time before turning his back against Yoongi and walking out of the door- eyes tired from crying, and his heart, void and dying.
