"I will go talk to her. She is going to beat herself for it." Yoongi mumbled before giving a last glance over Jimin who silently nodded at him while holding his ground.

Jimin could feel the waves of frustration and anger over how helpless Aera was feeling by seeing the chaos she was standing in. With her head straight in the alignment of her vision, she stood on the debris of glass fragments which were a result of her taking her anger out on the glass barricade. He stood there and watched Yoongi approaching her. He couldn't tolerate how sorrowful her face looked so he turned around to leave, with a promise to himself that he would talk to her at night.

"Are you cooled off now?"

Aera turned around while panting to throw her glare at the person who had spoken but she remained stoic when she saw Yoongi with his arms crossed. An indication that Min Yoongi was not up for any kind of shit she was going to throw at him.

"Breaking and wrecking things is your way to show how angry you are. Am I right?" Yoongi asked as he reached forward to take the bulletless gun from her strong grip. Aera just kept her eyes trained on his face.

"What? Are you getting angry on me now? What? are you going to break me too?" He tried his hand in making the atmosphere a bit light but Aera's serious expression was making it hard for him.

"Why don't you hate me?" She asked as she clenched her teeth. According to her thought, Yoongi should be out for her blood for abandoning Yoona but he had never blamed her. He never did.

"Why would I hate you?"

"She died because of me." Her reply came instantly for it had been the thing that she was constantly thinking about.

"Lee Aera. Listen to me very carefully." He said while the deep baritone to his voice dropped octaves gradually as he spoke word by word.

"You are not responsible for her death. In fact you are not responsible for anyone's death who were in that case. You are only thinking about one person who you couldn't save when it wasn't even possible for you. Why don't you think about the lives of those thirty three people who you saved instead?" He questioned her.

"Those people you saved had their own family waiting for them for so long. You saved those people. Call me superstitious or whatever but I believe Yoona was..... meant to go. I miss her, yes. But I am happy that she is in a better place. And we are working for the things that she would have worked for. I am proud of you. And I have absolutely no reason to hate you. I love you! You are my sister who just doesn't call my parents mom and dad but that's ok."

"You have a terrible sense of humour." Aera said making Yoongi gasp.

"Now that was very rude of you. At least you could have pretended to have been impressed with the play of words. Dude, seriously." He scoffed before slinging an arm on her shoulder.

"Let's go bully Tony. I am in the mood."














Jimin stood by the door of her room, staring at the figure as she gazed out of the window that showed nothing but darkness and the midnight blue sky. She must be deep in thought because when he walked up to her she did not waver from her stance.

"You hate me now, don't you?"

Her voice was hoarse and worn down. With just the view of her face from the side Jimin stood as he shook his head subtly. Making her feel more bad about this whole situation which wasn't something he wanted.

"Why?" She whispered and looked at him. Jimin felt his heart drop to his knees when he saw her eyes glistening with the remnant of her tears and some wetness under her eyes.

Her cheeks and nose all red.

"Because I love you."

Aera could hear the same thing being replayed in her mind. Yoongi had also said that he would and could never hate her because he loved her. But when Jimin said that she felt her heart soaring unexpectedly.

He slowly stepped towards her keeping in check that he didn't unknowingly step in her personal space for now. She was vulnerable and sad. Making her loose it wouldn't be a great choice.

"Aera..."

"No. You should hate me. I couldn't—" she hiccuped from her incoming sob making her stop from saying anything further.

Jimin held her face in his hands making her look at him through her tears. Those Saturns looked more surreal. An instant feeling of calmness took over her as she closed her eyes, leaning into his warmth.

"It is not your fault. Yoona's death was inevitable. She was doing her job. And you were doing yours. I am proud of you." He said as he kissed her tears away.

"Don't cry. You look too cute."

Aera gave out a small chuckle.

"You and Yoongi have such a bad sense of humour." He smiled when he saw her eyes squinting and her nose scrunching a bit.

"If this makes you laugh then why not?"

"Thank you." She said as she closed all distance between the two of them and wrapped her hands around him. Jimin just shyly smiled and connected the side of their faces and stood still with his hands trapped in her embrace.
