The hopeful heart
is too blind
to see it's
in the
dark.

"I may have a crush on someone. And that someone maybe a guy too." , Taehyung confidently said even though he was a bit nervous.

"Wait a minute. WHAT!?" , Lee's eyes went wide open from the sudden shock.

"What?", Taehyung asked , confused.

"You're GAY?" , Lee asked loudly , almost as if yelling.

"Oh shit. I thought you're not homophobic! Then uhm... forget I said that!" , Taehyung also yelled suddenly as he got scared thinking if Lee would also hurt him for his sexuality preferences that he wasn't even sure of.

"No I'm not. I'm a Gen-Z , forty year old man." , Lee said as he pouted a bit to show that he was hurt as a joke.

"No you're not. You're just an old man who's single." , Taehyung said , chuckling as he eased up a bit.

"Hey it's called choosing my own life and being happy and independent Okay?" , Lee said as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Sure whatever you say." , Taehyung softly smiles as he gives up.
"So.... Are you gay?" , Lee asked again after clearing his throat , all serious now.

"I don't know..... to be honest I almost had a freaking heart attack. I thought you were homophobic for a second from seeing your shocked face." , Taehyung nervously chuckled.

"Hehe... sorry. I just didn't expect that suddenly.", Lee apologized feeling a bit guilty for panicking the boy.

"Wait. You're not gonna tell my parents or anything right?", Taehyung suddenly asked , cause even though he signed up for this himself , he had to take his own precautions to not out himself or get in trouble.

"Whaaaaaat! Of course not! Why on earth would I do something like that! Like I said , I'm a Gen-Z man. Aren't I so cool?" , Lee said as he flicked his non existent long hair whilst smirking a bit , shooting a wink towards Taehyung , who only sighed at the older's actions.

"Yes , you are. But , you're still not Gen Z my man." , Taehyung said as he maintained a straight face , while suppressing his giggles seeing the betrayed look on Lee's face.

"Fine. So continue the story."

"Yeah. So , my best friend Koo yeah? He has a boyfriend. And before you ask , yeah he's gay. Both of my friends , Jin and Jungkook are. Yoongi is bisexual I guess , he hasn't really found anyone and I think he mentioned he doesn't care about the gender and stuff. So my point is I think I like Kook. Maybe I'm sure I do , but I feel like I'm lying to myself. Still, I'm scared." , Taehyung said in a breath.

" Why are you scared?" , Lee asked , after he turned off the stove of the Ramen he was cooking, now sitting in front of Taehyung.

"Oh , I have a list. One , my goddamn father and mother would probably throw me in the well if they ever found out I was gay. Two , I'm not even sure if I'm gay. I could be bisexual , you know. Three , what about the society? If I ever had a boyfriend I won't be able to go on public dates like every other couple and we would have to always hide or we would be suffering indifferent treatment and what if after suffering all this I might realize I'm not gay? And four , I'm going to be dead meat if my dad even knows anything about my friends , he could find out anything he wants about them and completely destroy them. So if I were to ever date Kook , I would be simply putting a knife over his neck , which is why I've been staying put all this while. I'm so scared to even talk about this with anyone. I would talk about this to Kook , but how can I tell him that he is the one I like when he has a goddamn boyfriend and he told me he's in love with him?" , Taehyung expressed as he sighed heavily.
