"I'm not that brave," Yoongi says, quiet, though it's not like this is news. It would be incredible to be able to spend all his time playing, getting better with help and time, with the hope of one day earning a living through his music. He just doesn't have the courage for it. He's good, he knows he's good, but that doesn't guarantee anything. Plenty of people are just as talented as he is. At university, he might not even stand apart from the crowd.

What he needs is a degree that helps him get a good job, something steady that pays well enough to help support them — not just the pair of them, for that matter, but, eventually, a child or two. That may be a long time off, but knowing it's something they both want someday, Yoongi thinks it's worth planning ahead.

"But I'm sure there has to be something I can do well and enjoy," he adds, shrugging. "I just haven't figured it out yet. But there's time. And even more time for you still."
