(Monday morning arrived peacefully at the Red Moon Pack's mansion. The large dining room was filled with the scent of freshly prepared breakfast. Seated around the table were Jin, Jimin, Min-ji, Jungkook, Ji-won, Namjoon, Taehyung, and Hoseok. Despite the luxurious surroundings, the atmosphere was far from warm. Jimin sat quietly beside his daughter, helping her cut her pancakes into small pieces. ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`))

[Jimin's hand paused for a moment. Before he could answer, the dining room doors opened. Everyone looked up. Yoongi walked in. Beside him stood Rosé and her daughter, Lily.]

(She jumped from her chair and ran toward him with a huge smile. For a second, everyone thought Yoongi would at least acknowledge her. Instead)

(Yoongi shoved her aside without even looking at her. Min-ji lost her balance. Her small body crashed onto the hard marble floor. A painful cry escaped her lips as her forehead hit the edge of a chair. Blood immediately trickled down her skin. (╥﹏╥))

[The entire room froze. (⊙_⊙) Jimin's face turned pale. (°ー°〃) Taehyung clenched his fists. (ಠ_ಠ) Hoseok looked horrified. (⊙﹏⊙) Jungkook and Ji-won stared at Yoongi in disbelief. (・o・) Meanwhile, Rosé's eyes flashed. (￢‿￢ ) She could see everyone's attention focused on Min-ji. Without anyone noticing, she secretly pinched Lily's arm.]

(Lily continued crying while Rosé gently rubbed her back.)

(Yoongi's expression filled with concern. He comforted Lily, completely ignoring the fact that his own daughter was standing nearby with blood running down her face. Jimin watched everything silently. ( ._. ) Something inside him cracked. For years, he had endured the humiliation. For years, he had tolerated the neglect. For years, he had convinced himself that maybe one day Yoongi would change. But watching his bleeding daughter being ignored while Yoongi fussed over another child... Something finally broke. (´；ω；`))

[The room fell silent. (・・;)]

(A shocked silence filled the dining room. (⊙_☉) Even Rosé looked surprised by the cruelty of his words. (◎_◎;))

(The little girl stood frozen, tears streaming down her cheeks. Usually, Jimin would argue. Usually, he would defend himself. Usually, he would beg Yoongi to stop hurting their daughter. But not today. Today, he said nothing. His expression was empty. Completely empty. (￣︿￣) He quietly walked toward Namjoon and gently took Min-ji into his arms. The little girl immediately buried her face against his shoulder and began sobbing. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ Jimin carefully wiped the blood from her forehead. Then, without looking at Yoongi once, he turned around.)

(Jimin didn't answer. Holding his crying daughter close, he walked out of the dining room. Step by step. Without a single word. Without a single tear. Without looking back. And for the first time since their marriage... Yoongi felt an unfamiliar chill run down his spine as he watched his mate walk away. (•́_•̀))

(The dining room remained silent long after Jimin left. (・・;) Nobody touched their food. Nobody spoke. The sound of Min-ji's crying still echoed in their minds. (╥﹏╥))

(Yoongi didn't respond. Instead, he sat down beside Rosé and Lily as if nothing had happened. That only made everyone angrier. (#`皿´))

(Rosé secretly smiled. (＾▽＾) Everything was going exactly as she wanted. The more Yoongi hated Jimin and Min-ji, the easier it would be for her to stay by his side. (¬‿¬) Little did she know fate had other plans. ( •̀ᴗ•́ )✧)

[Meanwhile... Inside Jimin's room. Min-ji sat on the bed while Jimin carefully cleaned the cut on her forehead. ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)]

[The words pierced Jimin's heart. (´；ω；`) No child should ever think that way. Especially not because of their own parent.]

[The little girl looked at him with watery eyes. (｡•́︿•̀｡)]

[Jimin's hands froze. (⊙﹏⊙) His chest felt tight. For years, he had suffered because of Yoongi's hatred. But hearing those words directed at Min-ji was unbearable.]

[The little girl finally relaxed. (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) A few minutes later she fell asleep in his arms after crying herself to exhaustion. (－ω－) zzZ Jimin stared at her sleeping face. The bandage on her forehead. The dried tears on her cheeks. The pain hidden behind her innocent smile. (´•︵•`) And for the first time in years... He asked himself a question. Was staying here really the right thing to do? (・・?) He had endured everything because Yoongi was his fated mate. The insults. The neglect. The humiliation. But now Min-ji was suffering too. Every day she was learning that her father didn't love her. Every day another piece of her heart broke. (💔 → (╥﹏╥)) Jimin looked out the window. The sky was cloudy. A storm was approaching. Just like the storm inside his heart. (☁︎) A knock interrupted his thoughts.]

[Jimin remained silent. ( ._. ) That worried them even more. Usually Jimin cried. Usually he defended Yoongi. Usually he made excuses for him. Today there was nothing. Just silence. (・・・)]

(No response.)

(The three siblings froze. (°ロ°)!)

(Jin immediately hugged him. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ Jungkook and Ji-won joined them. (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃ For the first time in years, Jimin allowed himself to cry. Not because Yoongi hated him. But because he had finally realized something. He could endure the pain. His daughter shouldn't have to. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ And somewhere deep inside his heart... A decision was beginning to form. ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧ A decision that would change everything.)
