Even on the better days, when he comes just to tell his mom what he's been up to, Yoongi is hard-pressed to find any kind of peace here. With Jungkook holding onto him, though, this place doesn't seem quite so dire. The injustices weigh just a little less. Maybe, he thinks, that's all they can really ask for when it comes to their parents — just a little more peace, a little less pain.

"I love you," he echoes, and nods. "Yeah, I think we should."

For today, at least, he thinks he's told his mother the only important things that have changed since his last visit. In the end, this was much less nerve-racking than he imagines it will be someday when Jungkook's mother finds out. Sweet as she may be, she's alive, and that comes with a certain extra brand of terror, it turns out. Right now, though, Yoongi pushes thoughts of that aside. The future will come when it comes. However much they like to daydream about it, he's happy to be right where and when he is.
