“I have a boyfriend and I love him.” Phana repeat what he said.
“You have what again?” Ellie asked.
“Boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend? A man?!” Will asked his son coldly.
He didn't know his son like a man.
Phana is startled because of that tone.
“Break up with him.”
Phana eyes widened.
He shakes his head.
“No. I don't want to.”
“I don't support your relationship with that man whoever he is. Phana you are a man and he is a man. Break up with him and find a girl.”
“Dad... I love my boyfriend.”
“I dont care!”
“Dad!”
“Tomorrow let's talk again and I want some good news from you.” Will said and leave them.
Ellie looks at Phana.
“Follow what your dad say. He knows what the best for you.”
Ellie also leave them.
Jay and Thak looks at him with pity.
“How long is your relationship with him?” Jay asked his brother.
Phana turn his head to him.
“3 months.”
“Are you sure about him? 3 months is too short to know that you are willing to grow old with him.”
Phana was about to say something but Jay continue.
“I used to date a boy before and believe me. Loving a same gender person is not easy, Pha and you are still young you will have a chance to meet many girls in the future.”
“I don't care about those girls. I only love my boyfriend, P'Jay.”
“You are not even 30 Pha. You're not sure about the future so If I we're you I will do what dad wants.” Jay leave the table.
Thak looks at Phana and taps his shoulder before she follows her husband.
Phana looks down.
Zid is looking at Phana beside him without saying much.
He doesn't have any idea what to say.
Phana tears dropped from his eyes.
He knows he is willing to fight for Ming even if his parents and brothers don't support their relationship but hearing what his parents and older brother say hurt his heart.
Zid sighs and stand up and hug Phana.
Phana hug Zid's waist while Zid is standing.
“I l-love h-him, Zid...”
Zid pats Phana's head gently.
“You need to rest if you really want to stick with your decision that you will fight for your boyfriend.” Zid says while putting the blanket to Phana. “Tomorrow will be a long day.”
Phana stare at his brother.
“I love him, Zid...” he whispers.
Zid sighs.
“I know you love him. You already said that multiple times.”
Phana close his eyes, he is ready to sleep but he heard his phone ring. The ringtone is the one he set up for Ming so he knows that that's his boyfriend.
Zid glances at the caller ID.

Phana used the word 'One Moon' as Ming's caller ID because Ming is his Moon. The only Moon of Engineering the he love.
