"I don't want to rush this," Yoongi says, "but yeah, when you're ready."

The first question is harder to answer. When he thinks back on the things his mother said when he was a kid, it gives him pause to imagine she would be happy about this relationship. In the end, though, he always comes back to the same notion, that she just wanted his happiness. That was all. Of course she expected him to do well in school, but she was never the kind of person who prioritized anything above him. If she prodded about his grades, if she warned him of the dangers of liking other boys, she only ever did it to protect him, to ensure his future happiness. She couldn't have imagined he'd find a love like this so young. If she'd seen Jungkook, heard them play together, if she knew how incredibly happy Jungkook makes him... she'd have to be happy about that, right? No one who loves him as much as she did could wish for her child to be alone and miserable, and that's what he knows he would be without Jungkook.

He smiles softly and nods. "She'd love you."
