Understanding

"That's your third glass" Taehyun gently snake his hand around Beomgyu's waist which caused the older to tense up a bit.

"Don't worry I won't drink much, where did you came from by the way? " Beomgyu asked scanning his face for an answer.

"I just had a small talk with your dad"  Taehyun said truthfully.

Beomgyu just hummed and wonder what they talked about, but from Taehyun's assuring smile it feels like nothing to worry.

"Mi Yoon keeps looking at you, babe" Taehyun lean to whisper and eye Mi Yoon placing a simple stare at them.

"I know, I'm so pretty and seems so unreachable" Beomgyu sips his whine  with a quick wink towards his lover.

Taehyun lightly pinch a piece of skin on Beomgyu's tummy from the tease

"Seriously, it looks like she wanna talk?"

Beomgyu turn to look at Mi Yoon's location and went back to met Taehyun's eyes.

"What are you implying to?" Beomgyu annoyingly asked his boyfriend.

"Did not, I'm just saying that maybe..she wants to talk? but it's okay if you don't want to we can just head back to the mansion." Taehyun gently grab Beomgyu's arms and caresses it for the male to feel that he's not pressuring him or something.

"Alright, I get what she wants and I get your point, you dumbo"

Taehyun place a smile and a quick kiss on Beomgyu's lips before setting the male free from his hands.

Beomgyu walk towards Mi Yoon who quickly starts fixing her posture. "Do you perhaps...want to talk?" Beomgyu asked nicely.

A second and two passed, 14 in exact count until Mi Yoon replied a short "Yes". The two went out of the pavilion and set their talk right on the garden where they mostly spend their childhood together.

"Memories keeps coming, as if they're fresh and new" Beomgyu said while the female remains silent.

"I understand it Mi Yoon. " Beomgyu took a deep breath before releasing this 5 words.

"Understand what?"  Mi Yoon asked.

"How pressure feels like."

"No Beomgyu you don't, your parents aren't -"

"Yes, they weren't like your dad. But, on a different level, I felt that I can't be a total son to them, you know, I'm gay. The moment I left, I understand how it feels like, and how it could be more worse at your case too.

when we are kids, I admire you alot really, even if your dad hadn't seen that you've done enough, you still manage to try and work harder to gain his support.

Maybe that's the reason why I don't get mad when you took my sketches, because I feel how hard it is to fit in a society that many thinks you are not belong to.

We fear to fail our roles to them, not to fear on losing ourselves in the process. So, I understand you and I do forgive you for everything Mi Yoon.

It will be hard for us to start over again, but I'll also try to ask for your forgiveness."

Mi Yoon stare at the starry skies with crystals falling down from her cheeks.   Beomgyu felt the same as he watches her cousin pour all the pain from her eyes.

"Beomgyu" Mi Yoon met Beomgyu's eyes, full of regrets and sadness. "Sorry"

Beomgyu smiled and whisper in response "I am too"

"I've been awful to you, I don't think I deserve it now. But if you still insist thank you!"

" Family doesn't hold you back Mi Yoon. It lifts you up, please don't forget that again"

" Haha, This time I won't... Thank you Beomgyu "

"Let's take it from here."
