Episode 11: A Fragile Beginning

---

Scene: The Min Mansion – Early Morning.

Jimin woke up to the sound of soft rain tapping against the windows. She stretched, feeling a rare sense of calm after weeks of turmoil. As she made her way downstairs, she was greeted by the scent of freshly brewed coffee.

Yoongi stood in the kitchen, still dressed in his pajamas, pouring coffee into two mugs.

Yoongi: (without looking up) "Good morning."

She hesitated, still not used to this softer side of him.

Jimin: "Morning. You’re up early."

He handed her a mug, their fingers brushing briefly.

Yoongi: "Couldn’t sleep. Thought I’d make us some coffee."

They sat in silence, sipping their drinks, the quiet between them surprisingly comfortable.

Scene: The Shelter – Mid-Morning.

Jimin entered the shelter to find the staff and volunteers smiling warmly at her. The tension from the past few days seemed to have dissipated.

Co-worker: "Jimin, the new article just dropped. It cleared your name completely."

Jimin’s eyes widened as she took the tablet they handed her. The article detailed the evidence against Liza, proving that the allegations against Jimin were false.

Jimin: "This… this is amazing."

The children ran up to her, hugging her tightly.

Child: "We knew you didn’t do anything bad, Miss Jimin!"

Tears filled her eyes as she hugged them back.

Scene: Yoongi’s Office – Afternoon.

Yoongi was reviewing contracts when Jimin walked in, holding a small box.

Jimin: "You’re working too hard again."

He looked up, a rare smile gracing his lips.

Yoongi: "Occupational hazard. What’s in the box?"

She placed it on his desk, opening it to reveal freshly baked cookies.

Jimin: "A thank-you gift. For clearing my name."

He picked up a cookie, examining it with mock seriousness.

Yoongi: "Did you make these?"

Jimin: (smiling) "Of course. Try one."

He took a bite, nodding in approval.

Yoongi: "Not bad. You might have missed your calling as a baker."

They shared a quiet laugh, the atmosphere between them lighter than it had been in months.

Scene: Liza’s Penthouse – Evening.

Liza sat alone in her darkened apartment, a bottle of wine in one hand and her phone in the other. The news of her downfall had spread like wildfire, and no one was returning her calls.

Liza: (to herself) "This isn’t over, Yoongi. You’ll regret this."

Her phone buzzed with a new message.

“Meet me tomorrow. I have a plan. – D”

Her lips curled into a sinister smile as she replied.

“I’ll be there.”

Scene: The Min Mansion – Night.

Yoongi and Jimin sat on the couch, a movie playing in the background. They weren’t really watching, too lost in their thoughts.

Jimin: "Yoongi?"

Yoongi: "Hmm?"

She hesitated, then spoke.

Jimin: "Why did you marry me that day? Was it really just because Liza left you?"

He turned to her, his expression serious.

Yoongi: "At first, yes. I was angry, hurt, and I made a decision without thinking it through. But now… things are different."

Jimin: (softly) "Different how?"

He reached out, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Yoongi: "Because now, I see you for who you really are. Someone who’s kind, selfless, and stronger than I ever gave you credit for."

Her eyes searched his, looking for any sign of deception. But all she saw was sincerity.

Jimin: "I want to believe you, Yoongi. But it’s going to take time."

Yoongi: "Take all the time you need. I’m not going anywhere."

Scene: A Secluded Warehouse – Midnight.

Liza arrived at the dimly lit warehouse, her heels clicking against the concrete floor. A man stepped out of the shadows, his face partially hidden by a hoodie.

Liza: "You said you had a plan. What is it?"

The man handed her a folder.

Man: "This is everything you need to bring Yoongi and Jimin down. But it’s going to cost you."

She opened the folder, her eyes gleaming as she scanned the contents.

Liza: "Don’t worry. Money’s not a problem."

The man smirked, disappearing back into the shadows.

Liza: (to herself) "Enjoy your little fairy tale while it lasts, Jimin. Because I’m about to end it."

Scene: The Min Mansion – The Next Morning.

Jimin was tending to the garden when Yoongi joined her, holding two cups of tea.

Yoongi: "Tea for the gardener."

She smiled, accepting the cup.

Jimin: "Thanks. I needed this."

They sat on the bench, sipping their tea as the morning sun bathed the garden in a golden glow.

Yoongi: "I was thinking… we should go away for a while. Just the two of us."

She looked at him, surprised.

Jimin: "Go away? Where?"

Yoongi: "Anywhere you want. Somewhere quiet, where we can start over."

Her heart warmed at the thought, but a part of her was still hesitant.

Jimin: "I don’t know, Yoongi. What if things go wrong again?"

He reached out, taking her hand in his.

Yoongi: "Then we’ll face it together. No more running, no more lies."

For the first time in a long time, she felt a flicker of hope.
