[ EPISODE - 16 ]

The smell of pancakes, toasted bread, and freshly brewed coffee filled the grand dining hall of the Kim Mansion
Sunlight filtered through the sheer white curtains, casting a gentle glow on the elegant table where Jin, lYoongi, Jimin, and Jungkook sat.
Well, all except one

As everyone returned to eating

(Looked up at Jin, his tone casual but filled with unspoken affection) Papa, I’m dropping Jimin and Jungkook back today

The sun was shining brighter now as the three of them stepped outside

They all walked toward Yoongi’s sleek black car parked near the driveway gates

(in the passenger seat)
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
(Slid into the driver’s seat and turned the engine on)
Soft music played—nothing loud, just mellow guitar tones humming through the speakers
A few minutes passed in peaceful silence until Yoongi spoke, eyes still focused on the road
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
You told your appa you stayed here, right?
PARK JIMIN

(let out a breathy chuckle, shaking his head)

.
The car slowly pulled up in front of the Park family's elegant gate.
Opened his door, but before he could step out, Jungkook quickly slid out first and opened the door from the outside like a gentleman
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
You didn’t have to do that
PARK JUNGKOOK

I felt like it
Just as Jimin stepped out, Yoongi reached out through his own window, gently catching Jimin’s wrist
KIM YOONGI

Wait (voice quiet but firm)
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Turned in confusion)
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
(Looked back too, just in time to see Yoongi stepping out from the car and walking around to their side. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were focused—on Jimin)
PARK JIMIN

Hyung? (softly)
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
(He gently took Jimin’s hand, careful and deliberate, and leaned in. A soft kiss landed right on the center of Jimin’s palm)

(Froze)
Not because of the touch—but because of the warmth it left behind
The way Yoongi didn’t look away
