why me? ✔️

the one where felix comes out.

chan and felix look at each other, then they turn around to face jisung.

"why would we know?" chan says and jisung just sighs.

"I don't know, you three seemed to have something going on because you seemed like... awkward... when he was leaving"

"there's nothing going on, he's just probably still scared to come to us because of felix" jisung chuckles.

"yeah he's not scared"

"huh?" they both say in unison.

"I asked him if he was scared and he said that he wasn't scared, something about missing or... wanting... I don't remember I honestly wasn't listening because this whole situation is stupid" felix chuckles.

"well I don't know what it could be" chan says and felix looks at chan.

"okay well... just between us, I think he's jealous" jisung whispers the last part before he walks out of the school.

"jealous? no" chan chuckles.

"you should've told him the truth"

"I didn't want to, it's between the two of them"

"that's true but this does involve you too since you and minho used to be friends"

"whatever come on, let's go" chan grabs his hand and they walk out of the school.

...

"um... mom?" felix walks into the living room and sits on the sofa next to his mom.

"what is it honey?" she looks at him.

"um... there's something I want to tell you but... before I do... can you promise you won't get mad?"

"I won't honey I could never be mad at you"

"can I get that in writing?"

"what's going on? what did you do? did you get a girl pregnant? did you get suspended?"

"no it's none of those I just... I... well..."

"honey... have I ever gotten mad at you when you told me something?"

"no... but you might for this..."

"maybe you should just tell me to find out"

"okay..." he takes a deep breath and looks down.

"look at me honey" she lifts his head up. "tell me"

"I'm... I'm... I'm gay"

"oh" she just nods as a sign that she understands why he was nervous to tell her.

"I'm still me! I'm still your son... there's nothing that's really changed I'm still the same felix you've always known and raised"

"when you have a big secret like this... you shouldn't keep this inside to your mom... I know you may be nervous that I would be mad, or I wouldn't accept you... but you still should've told me"

"I know..."

"I don't know why you'd think I wouldn't accept you" felix looks at her.

"what?"

"you're my son, and you'll always be my son, no matter who you like or what gender you come to wanting to like... because I'll always be your mom and as your mom I need to let you grow... and let you be happy"

"so..."

"so what I'm saying is that I'm proud of you honey, and I also had a hunch"

"what!? how!?"

"when you told me about your friend liking you... you weren't the same that I'd expect you to be... you seemed to worried about to how express your feelings for him too"

"really? it showed?" she nods.

"so what's his name?"

"uh... it's chan"

"oooo I see, tell me about him"

"mom!"

"come on, if you like him as a mom it's my duty to know about him and to embarrass you to him"

"don't!" she laughs.
