shirts, lgbtq+

"I am home!"
I heard when I was washing my hands. I quickly ran downstairs
"Did you buy me something?"
Jiseok asked
"Of course. Come here, both of you"
She sat on couch. We followed her and sat next to her
"This is for you Jooyeon, and this is for you Jiseok"
She smiled as she gave us little bags
"What's inside?"
"Secret. Go to your room. I'll prepare the room for you Jooyeon"
She smiled. We went to Jiseok's room and sat on the bed
"Before you open it... How was it?"
"It was something i didn't do before, it was weird, but satisfying"
I said with red cheeks. He laughed and opened his bag
"Wow"
He said while holding beautiful shirt, it was kinda
"Open yours"
He said. I looked inside and pulled out exactly the same shirt
"Wow! We have matching shirts"
I nodded
"Come down! It's dinner!"
She shouted. I got an idea
"Wait. Before we go there, close your eyes"
I said. He carefully closed his eyes and just sat. I took off his shirt, and put onthe new one. I took off my shirt and put on the new one as well.
"You can open"
I said and ran downstairs before he could open his eyes
"What took you so long? And where is Jiseok"
She asked with a smile on her face as she put the food on the table. Jiseok showed up right away
"You little-"
"Jiseok. Don't"
She warned him so he just sat next to me angrily
"Don't be mad"
"I am not mad"
"You are. I see that"
"Guys"
"Sorry Ms Kwak"
We started eat
"It was delicious"
I smiled at her
"It's late, you should go to sleep. Your room is ready, but if you want you can sleep wherever you want to. Borrow some of Jiseok's clothes to sleep in"
I nodded and we went to Jiseok's room
"Maybe I was a little bit mad..."
He said suddenly
"But why?"
I turned to him
"You ran away"
"Gosh. Don't be mad about something like that. Come here and choose something"
He opened his closet
"It doesn't matter"
"Okey. Here is towel, you know where is bathroom, so go. I'll be waiting here"
I nodded, grabbed the towel, and went shower. It was quite cold
"Jooyeon-ah?"
I heard. I turned off the water, I wrapped the towel around my waist and opened the door
"Yes Ms Kwak?"
"I am sorry, I just forgot to turn on the boiler. I am so sorry"
She came in and turned on the boiler
"It's okay, I was getting out anyways"
I grabbed the old clothes and went to Jiseok's room
"You can go shower. I'll borrow something, okay?"
"Yes. If you don't mind I chose something already, you can grab something else of course"
He smiled and left. I looked at that clothes. It was big white T-shirt and black boxers. I put that on and sat down on th bed. I was waiting a long time, but it was worth it. He came with a towel wrapped around his waist, his chest still wasn't dry. He came with wet hair dripping down on the floor. I was stunned that I didn't notice I was staring at him for like five minutes until he moved and came to me
"Does it suits you?"
He asked
"Yes"
I was almost drooling. He picked up the pillow and pulled out his clothes to sleep in
"Where you'll be sleeping?"
"I don't know"
"Can you....... Can you be here with me?"
He asked cutely. I couldn't say no.
"of course"
I smiled and lied on his bed
"okay. I will be here right away"
He said as he came out of the room
"Good night- oh, Jooyeon-ah where is Jiseok?"
I got up
"He has probably gone to change"
"Okay. You'll be sleeping here?"
"Yeah"
She nodded and went to sleep to her room
"Jiseok! I was scared. Where were you?"
"I was getting change and I erased the search history in case mom will need something there"
He laughed, grabbed me under my knees and lifted me
"Hey, put me down"
I almost yelled. He threw me on bed and started tickling me
"Stooop! Heyyy"
I was laughing
"Guys! I want to sleep!"
She came in with angry face
"We're sorry mom!"
"We're so sorry Ms Kwak"
We apologized and he finally stopped tickling me
"Good night. And don't tease him!"
She smiled and went back to her room
"Okay, I'll let you live. Anyways, did you like it? I mean watching the film"
He smirked and started laughing
"Hm... I guess so"
"So you liked it more when there was two boys than when there was boy and girl?"
He asked. I was thinking about it....
"Yeah, I think so"
"I don't want to scare you.... But that mean that you probably like guys"
"Yeah... I know, in high school there was a boy, that was so handsome and all girls were over him. After like two years I realized that I like him..... I never confessed my feelings for him. I didn't wanted to tell you.... I was scared that you'll hate me"
I looked down and sadly sat on the bed
"Remember... I'll never hate you even if you are gay, a murder or you're on a wheelchair. I would never ever hate you. At this point.... I'll tell you that, I am gay too. It's okay to be different. Nobody knows that, not even my mother"
He smiled and hugged me.
"Thank you for understanding me, and supporting me. If you ever need something, or you don't feel well or you need to confide in, I am here for you. Always"
"Same here. I am here for you as well"
I started crying. As I was crying I fell asleep in his arms.
