The boy was looking through the window in his room and his heart was beating really fast.
His mum was on her way and he knew that somehow he was in deep trouble. He should have never fallen in love with Yoongi.
Maybe Taehyung didn't tell her what he was up to. Maybe this was a little mistake and Jimin was more than nervous now. This boy was literally sweating.
"Okay, Jimin,... Inhale...exhale..." but it didn't help much.
"Maybe she didn't understand him," was telling himself to be brave in those last moments of his (young) life.

He was planning to run away because Jimin risked getting into a fight with his parents. He was actually hiding that he is gay. That didn't help his career to be a famous church singer in his town. Jimin enjoyed singing and dancing, but that little (or big) secret was holding him back a lot.
Jimin was now in big trouble because he assumed Tae told his mother about his sexuality. And that was really dangerous to tell his parents.
And more than that,... he really loves Yoongi. They were soulmates but their relationship was kind of hard. They had a bad start from the beginning because Yoongi was at first in a relationship with Namjoon, his co-worker at a little coffee shop.

*flashback*
His favourite spot was a coffee shop down the road. It's really close to his house.
He was just ordering the same old drink as he was used to, then out of nowhere, a boy comes to his right, ordering a black coffee.
'Who in his right mind drinks an ordinary black coffee with no sugar?' Jimin thought to himself.
"What?" The boy asks, looking Jimin up and down like he has a disease.
"Nothing," Jimin mumbles, drinking his vanilla latte. "Nothing at all."
"You're judging," the boy comments, making Jimin roll his eyes. 'Well, fuck you too,' he thinks to himself.
"So are you," he replies, coldly. "Now, if you're excuse me, I gotta be somewhere."
He leaves, but soon, there is a hand on his shoulder.
"Wait," says the voice.
"What?"
"What's your name?"
"Non-of-ya."
"Huh?"
"Non-of-ya-buisness," Jimin shrugs off the rude boy, and curses him in his head. He had enough of this.

*present day*

Jimin
Jimin
Jimin!!!!
JIMIN!!! CMON!!
Taehyung: 22:10
Don't be mad @ me
Pls
Jimin
Your mum is horrible when she's mad
chimchim: 22:33
What on Earth do you want from me
U told her I'm seeing som1
& bcz she thought that person is a girl
She invited Rebekah!!
Do u know how horrible i feel rn??
When she called her and she asked if they can hang out today??
He was feeling nauseous. All Jimin wanted was to call Yoongi, that much that it literally hurt the young boy. But they agreed not to text or call each other if his parents were home. So, Jimin couldn't reach the other, older boy, even if he wanted to.
Jimin was now almost in panic, waiting for his mom to arrive home.
Jimin heard her car arriving on a driveway. He now realized, that he can't run away. He has to talk with her, even though she might yell at him, or even worse, she could decide to throw him out of the house.
After a long time of being frightened and quiet of what his parents are going to say; making them angry and or upset in a process, he came to conclusion, that it was finally time — he's not staying quiet anymore. He's going to tell her that he's gay.
To his mum. Who is hobofobic.
Oh, boy
"Jimin, darling, are you home?" She yelled from the kitchen.
"Yes, mom! I'm home!" Jimin yelled back from his room.
"Be good, and help me with the groceries, will you?"
"Okay! I will be right down!"
He slowly came down from his room to the kitchen. For now, by the look on her face, she doesn't seem upset or angry. Jimin didn't kniw if he should be happy, beacuse, it's his mother we are talking about. He knew her. Jimin his mother very well.
"So," his mom opened the fridge. "Taehyung told me, that you're seeing someone. I think he said, it's that girl, Rachel?"
Jimin sighed out of relief. She actually thought he was dating her. Well, maybe it wasn't the time, to tell her she's just a friend. Maybe he can convince her, to a fake dating. Just maybe.
"Yea. She is also my classmate." He answers, carefully.
"I invited her to a dinner, tomorrow," his mom casually says, while she is stocking the groceries into the fridge.
Jimin can't fucking believe her. He must have gone deaf, beacuse he's not hearing her right. One thing is to pretend to have a fake girlfriend, the other is to convince Rachel to play along. But maybe, just maybe she would say yes. After all, Rachel knows Jimin is gay.
Only a few other people other than Rachel, Taehyung and Yoongi knows about his secret. There are Namjoon, his neighbour, on whom he had a crush since he was little and Seokjin, his other friend, who was two years older than him.
Rachel suspected that Jimin was gay, and since they were friends from elementary school, he had to tell her one day. When Jimin did, she hugged him, telling him, that he was brave. The young boy felt better after telling his huge secret out. Now he's hoping that his mom won't do anything stupid if Rachel say yes to this sharade.
"Did Rachel said anything back?" He asks, his heartbeat quickening. He is praying that she said yes.
"That it would be lovely." His mom says with a big smile on her face. "Okay, darling, you're now free to go. Thank you for helping me."
"Okay. See you later," he responds quickly — maybe too quickly — and he goes upstairs, to his room. Because now he has got only two things on his mind; call Rachel about being his fake girlfriend and calling Yoongi, to tell him everything thahas happened so far today.
