Jimin looks at the man from top to toe and asks, 'Yes? How can I help you?'

The man in a charcoal grey shirt holds Jimin's face all of a sudden and laughs. He hugs Jimin and hums sharply.

Jimin pushes him away and asks, 'What on earth are you doing? Who are you?'

He answers, 'Yoongi-ya... It's me. Your Appa.'
Jimin says, 'What? I'm not him. Wait, don't you know that he doesn't talk?'
He asks, 'Huh? Where is he?'
Jimin says, 'Just a minute.'

Jimin takes a step inside and exclaims, 'Hyung! Someone's here to meet you!'

Yoongi steps into the living room and notices him. The former walks closer to Jimin and looks at the man with a clueless look in his eyes.

Jimin says, 'He's asking for you.'
Yoongi signs, 'Who is he?'
Jimin answers, 'He claims to be your father.'
Yoongi signs, 'What's his name?'

Jimin asks, 'What's your name?'
He answers, 'Min Yeo-Jung.'

Yoongi freezes at where he is standing. Jimin does not seem to know how to react.

Mr Min says, 'I thought you could talk.'
Jimin says, 'He hasn't talked in his whole life. How can I help you?'
Mr Min asks, 'Who are you, brat?'
Jimin says, 'I'm Park Jimin. I'd appreciate it if you could tell us why you're here.'

Yoongi signs, 'Ask him to come inside.' and gulps nervously.

Jimin says, 'Come on in.' and walks in.

Yoongi waits until Mr Min walks in and closes the door.

Jimin says, 'I'll bring something to drink.'
Mr Min says, 'Ah, my blood sugar levels are high today. I don't want anything.'
Jimin says, 'Okay.'

Yoongi gestures asking Mr Min to sit. The latter sits on the single couch. Yoongi sits on the couch opposite him and glances at Jimin.

Jimin sits next to Yoongi and says, 'I'll interpret what he signs.'

Mr Min asks, 'Who are you?'
Jimin answers, 'I told you already.'
Mr Min says, 'Not your name. Why are you living with him?'
Jimin says, 'Ah, why do you care? Just tell him why you're here.'

Mr Min says, 'I went to meet Yoo-Jin. She gave me this address.' and glances at Yoongi.

Yoongi starts to sign responding to Mr Min. Jimin interprets his signs.

Jimin interprets, 'What did she tell you?'
Mr Min says, 'She's just like your Eomma... Stubborn... Hate is all that she feels.'
Jimin says, 'She's not that of a bad person as you're trying to imply, Yeo-Jung-nim.'
Mr Min says, 'Let my son respond. I'm talking to him.'

Jimin rolls his eyes in annoyance. Yoongi gently and quickly brushes Jimin's right thigh.

Mr Min asks, 'How have you been, Yoongi-ya?'
Jimin interprets, 'My sister took very good care of me until I started to live here. I've been doing well without you.'
Mr Min says, 'Brat! I'm your father. What's with that answer?'

Jimin says, 'Okay, let's just make this easier. Why are you here?'
Mr Min says, 'I wanted to meet my only son.'
Jimin interprets, 'Didn't you get married again?'

Mr Min answers, 'I did.'
Jimin interprets, 'Don't you have people to take care of you?'
Mr Min answers, 'My daughter is taking care of me.'

Yoongi does not respond.

Mr Min continues, 'Ah, obviously not Yoo-Jin. Your half-sister.'
Jimin interprets, 'Why are you here?'
Mr Min says, 'You, brat! Let him respond.'
Jimin says, 'Oh, I didn't ask you that again. He signed it.'
