My guts tell me you're not
You usually reply fast (or few minutes after)
And your question is sussy
Am I being nosy? Sorry but If worried.

Jakey:
Wow

Hehe
Can I tell you?

Hoon:
Of course. I'm all ears:)
Or eyes
Is something wrong?

Jakey:
Uhm haha maybe not
False alarm😬

Hoon:
Oh..?
Don't wanna talk about it?

Jakey:
...

Hoon:
Well... Be honest
Type 1, if you wanna talk about it but to shy to open up
Type 2, if you don't wanna talk about it

Jakey:
1?
Hoonie, what is this?😭

Hoon:
Make this your freedom wall:)
I can be quiet when you open up
Or be loud (but respectfully)

Jakey:
Is it really okay to open up?
It's about my parents
If I tell you, I might make them look bad

Hoon:
It's better to open up than to bottle it all
Why would they look bad?
Anyways, I won't side unless I hear you out
So..?

Jakey:
Thanks:)
I think call is easier.

Hoon:
Alright! I'll call.

~~~

Jake picked up the call as soon as he heard it rang.

"What's up?" A voice said from the other line.

Jake took a deep breath before answering him, "My dad wants me to quit dancing."

"Please continue." The other guy on the line said.

"He said it's useless. Just a distraction. And it won't get me anywhere in life." He started. "He wants me to focus on studying. I know it's not bad to focus on studying but..." He paused as he let out a big sigh.

"All my life, all I did is to study. When I was a kid I even dreamt of being a singer — kept on singing everywhere I go and even dance." He chuckles as he remembered his little self but stopped and continued, "But then he would punish or scold me for it. Even remembered that during Highschool days, I secretly write lyrics. Jungwon would sing it while heeseung hyung will find tune for it then he and sunoo would play instruments to it while me and won would sing. It was all fun but one day dad saw my notebook full of my works and of course —being my dad — he burned it."

"Now, he wants me to stay away from my friends. My fault, I know. I mean— It will all went well if I just obey." He laughed it off.

"I'm doing well on my studies. I know it myself." He said. "But it seems like it is mot enough."

"You know... My parents don't even know my peers. I don't want them to meet my friends."

"Look... They don't even know them yet but they already want me to stay away from them."

Sunghoon on the other side, was silently listening. He didn't knew that there were too much pressure on jake's. He never thought that the bubbly jake would have such thing on his back.

"Mom? I wish she'd say something."

"I wish she was silent yet would understand me, but awhile ago... She's just like dad." As he said those words, a tear fell down from his left eye.

He just wanted to have fun. Wanted to be like other kids. Wanted to be free.

Sunghoon actually muted his mic when he heard jake let out a big sigh since he went to rumble for some things in his home.

"I'm sorry. Burnout, I guess." Jake whispered feeling guilty of opening up. "You know, forget it. This is embarrassing."

As soon as sunghoon heard that he went to open his mic quickly. "Hey, it's alright. I don't mind and judge." Jake hummed as he heard sunghoon said that.

"Alcohol you say? I'll be there in few minutes. I know a place where we can drink."

"Huh?" Jake stuttered.

"Let's drink, jake. I know a place. Sorry took me awhile to find my motor keys."

"You have a motor?" Jake questioned. He knows it's not that of important question as of now but how come he never used it?

"Yep! Didn't used it since it is a hassle." Jake made an 'oh' sound. Still confused of what's happening.

"Stay put. I'll fetch you."

"But you don't know my location even if I'm near our university."

"Send me then." Sunghoon said. "If you can't fully express yourself then an alcohol might do a little push."

"Wha-?" Sunghoon cut him off by saying, "Jake, it's alright to feel. You're holding it for too long to the point you do not know how to open up to your real feelings."

- C U T -

No, I'm not encouraging anyone to drink alcohol when there's a problem. It's just that there are people who has difficulties of expressing their own feelings and needs a little push (like no matter how that person wants to open up they just can't bring themselves to open their feelings/emotions due to some negative thoughts, thus, they need a little push).
