NAMJOON POV
After I finished he started to tell me about his past. I started to understand him in new, deeper ways and it all made me love and want him more. He'd been through a lot in his life as well.
He'd grown up in rural Jeju. Hoseok was an outcast throughout his entire schooling, with one friend until high school, and then his only friend had moved away. He'd been surprised when the twins' mother had shown interest in him and while he wasn't really into her, he was starved for attention from anyone that wasn't negative.
That attention led him to being a teenage father of twins. He and their mom were never together, It was just a one-night stand and they weren't even on friendly terms by the time the girls were born. He'd fought her in court for joint custody but he lost because of his age and lack of familial support.
He stayed around anyway, hoping for any contact he could get. He'd been in a few short, failed relationships with women. He'd had cravings for men and had found several sexual encounters with guys in Jeju.
But small-town living meant rumors that ended up causing him to get even fewer opportunities to be around his girls. It created an even bigger shame spiral and nearly two years went by without any contact with his children. He finally decided to leave it all behind and he moved to the forward place he could think of, Seoul.
He thought if he was going to figure out if he was gay or not, he'd need to be somewhere that it was accepted and no one knew him. He couldn't see his babies anyway, so it didn't matter it was so far away. It was better than it was far away.
Hoseok took the first job he could find working as an apprentice electrician. He tried to date women with the same success he'd found in Jeju. He'd gone through a period of time where he'd go to gay clubs and go home with a random guy for sex nearly every weekend. He found himself unsatisfied no matter how many men he fucked.
When he was a licensed electrician and financially secure he took the girls' mom back to court. He'd finally got visitation, two weeks every summer here in Seoul and a weekend during the holidays that he'd go back to Jeju to see them. They were 5 at that point.
They started having regular phone calls every two weeks and he'd grown close to the twins for the first time. He'd been happy with that and hadn't tried to date or hook up with anyone in all that time since then. He focused on work and his children.
The girls planned on going to art school in Seoul and they wanted to live with him when they did. He'd been ecstatic and had started preparing for them several years before they would be ready to move here for the better school. He bought a house.
Not even a year ago their mom went to prison for domestic abuse, fraud, and several other charges. She was a terrible human in general and it caught up with her and her last boyfriend in a long string of horrible boyfriends. The girls felt mixed emotions about finally getting to live with their dad, who was loving and stable with a beautiful house and a clean kitchen always full of good food and leaving behind their established life and middle school friends a year sooner than planned.
