Ch. 93

As soon as Minho had laid eyes on his fathers request to meet him his heart rate had almost immediately gone up, panic setting into his bones.

If his father wanted to speak with Minho it was most likely in regard to his private exploration of Jeong-Hoon. It had been about three days since he had requested his father take action so it was around that time.

Minho knew that this would happen eventually, but now that he was genuinely about to be disowned by his father, it was kind of scary... a lot scary actually.

He had convinced himself that no matter what happened everyone and everything would be fine, but now he wasn't so sure. Was he actually ready to ruin his own life? To cheat himself out of a family.. a real family..?

It didn't matter though, because he was already standing outside his father's office. This time though, they would be in the privacy of his father's home, and not in an office building.

When he went to go knock on the door it came out weak and fragile, as his hand was trembling so much. It took a moment, but soon enough his father called out to let the poor boy into his study.

Minho opened the door slightly, slipping into the room quickly, he should probably just get this over with.

"Hello, father." He bowed down at a 90° angle, as if it would help to redeem himself.

"Good afternoon Minho. How are you." It was more of a statement than a question, but he answered anyway.

"Fine, sir. How about you?"

"Fine."

Then there was an awkward moment of them kind of just looking at eachother, before the man finally said, "Take a seat, Minho. We have a few topics I'd like to discuss."

Minho immediately followed the directions and went to take a seat opposite from his father. He didn't really want to draw this out for longer than it had to be.

His dad took a deep sigh, leaning back in his chair a little bit, "You remember a few days ago when you asked me to look into that kid for you."

Minho nodded. How could he forget?

"Well I did." He kept a straight face so Minho wasn't really sure how his father felt, "I have a feeling there are a few things you forgot to mention."

"Oh?"

"Mm. Just a few hours ago my men came to me with a file of information that I read over and planned on sharing with you, but you must already know this stuff." He plopped a file onto the table, "How long did you think it would take to find out about your intimate relations with Han Jisung?"

Minho looked down at his lap. He wasn't sure what to say.

"This is the same boy that you drove home on the night of the Christmas party. You failed to mention afterwards of your knowledge to who he was. You also failed to tell me about legitimately every other interaction you've ever had with him." His father had spoken in such a way that it was impossible to tell just how mad he was.

"I'm sorry.." Minho whispered. He didn't know what else to say.

"For what?"

There was a pause, "For all of it! For failing school and acting such a nuisance, for getting a chemistry tutor and proceeding to turn said chemistry tutor into some type of toy – I'm sorry for all of it! I know that you're mad about all of this, and that youre probably disappointed in me for being gay, but I can't help it. I didn't want to be gay, I swear to God I didn't, Appa, but that's just how it happened—"

"Please calm your nerves." His father cut him off, "I'm more disappointed in the way you act at school, and the way you treated this boy, then the fact you had an intimate relationship with him."

Minho was shocked. Did he not care that he was gay..?

"W-what?" He asked, "Are you not mad at me for liking men.."

His father gave him a weird look, "Wherever you got that idea into your head I have no idea, but no. I'm not disappointed or mad at you for taking a romantic liking to a man. I'm not surprised either."

Minho said nothing and gave his father a look that said all it needed to.

"I've raised you from a young boy, at just five years old I knew Minho. You made a great effort to express your liking towards male celebrities, TV show characters or even classmates. It was just a matter of time before you realized it." He shrugged.

"This is beside the point however, I'm more stressed about the way you act. You have no idea how embarrassing it is to figure out how you've treated that poor boy. How must he think you were raised? What about classmates? Other people you've bullied?"

Minho started to tear up. He found it hard to believe his father hadn't completely gone insane on him...

"Dear, why are you crying?" His father sighed, "You must have known I would find out how you act in school."

Minho shook his head and suddenly his father understood what his son was actually crying about.

"Ah, Minho. No need to cry over that, I'm not mad at you." He tried to comfort the boy, "You can love whoever you please, I'm not upset. You'll always be my child."

Minho nodded, "I'm sorry for being a bad person, I swear I'm trying to be better—" he hickupped, "I just want Jisung to be safe—"

His dad smiled slightly, "Ah. That. That's the reason you want Jeong-Hoon gone, correct? I understand that he's a large threat to Mr. Han."

Minho nodded.

"I also understood that it was you're stupid decision that had landed him there in the first place?" He asked.

Jesus, how much had they dug up on the situation in just two days? Minho nodded though, feeling very guilty, "It was my fault. I'm trying my best to make it right..."

"Well, then good news."

Minho looked up, his eyes red and puffy.

"If you give me about two weeks we can hire a lawyer and create a court case. It's a near guarantee we'll be able to see him behind bars within the next three months, possibly even weeks. As well as that other kid.. JinYoung I believe."

Minho couldn't help but burst out into even more tears, this was all way more than he expected, "Thank you, Appa.." he cried out.

Thank you.
