The atmosphere in the cafe was usually calm. The people were staying at the tables in couples or groups of friends. They were talking to each other and also drinking hot chocolate and coffee.
It was autumn and that’s why nobody was paying attention to Park Seonghwa’s long black coat. Neither to his fedora hat which was hiding most of his face. The male was around 35 years old, but he seemed a lot younger. It was true that he was using the most expensive cosmetics. But the most awkward thing was his baby pink hair. He had raspberry gloss on his lips and was wearing silver earrings.

Seonghwa opened the café’s door and a cold wind entered with him. He stepped towards a table without looking around and took a seat on a chair while he was hiding his attire and presence. He was watching at another table where two boys were having their time. Hwa scowled because the one of them was holding the other’s hand in his.

Don’t get a wrong impression. Seonghwa isn’t homophobic or Bogeyman. He had a mission. To protect his son’s heart from breaking. Yes, the boy who looks older was Seonghwa’s son. He was adopted by Hwa and his husband when he was just a little boy. His name is Jay. He brought a lot of joy to his new parents. Seonghwa was very happy to have a child and was very much a protective mother. He wouldn’t let the 17 years old boy breath on his own. For that reason, he was hiding in that moment. Jay mustn’t know his dad were there.

“Hello, Hwa. You’re on your guard again, aren’t you?” In front of him sat down another guy around his age. He had chubby cheeks and was resembling a rabbit. Well, a giant one more than like a domestic rabbit. Like the white ones with big red eyes.

“As always, Soobin.” Seonghwa answered him quietly and glared at him. “I thought Yeonjun was be coming not you.”
“He isn’t feeling well. He came back home exhausted last night. These days he has a lot of clients.”

Make a long story short. Soobin and Yeonjun. Man and… Man. Okay, it will sound better in this way: Husband and husband who were friends of Seonghwa since university days . The three of them had been living in one dorm. Very good time when it was consisted of parties, alcohol, and sex.

I got distracted, forgive me.

Yeonjun and Soobin had started dating soon and after getting a degree they went to live in their own apartment. Seonghwa was left to search for new roommates. He wasn’t very social afterwards and he decided to write an announcement. I don’t remember what was exactly written on it, but for sure his number was put in it.

In one sunny afternoon when Hwa was drinking his coffee with Yeonjun on his terrace he received a call from an unknown number. Guess who was calling then!

Kim Hongjoong! Seonghwa’s future and already present husband! This explains the following events, right?

In this time while the two of them were getting closer their friends Choi Soobin and Choi Yeonjun got married. Almost. In Korea gay marriages aren’t acceptedand they were so the two had been telling people that they're married when they're not officially. What a chance was that they have same family name! Coincidence?

Seonghwa is a designer, and he loved his profession. It was the love of his life, after Hongjoong of course. He loved to make new fashion tendenciesand seeing the clothes which were by his design, worn by people.

Hongjoong was a businessman. Inherited his father’s company and he hasn’t had much time for his family, but he can make it up for his son and husband. So, this is the reason he had agreed with Hwa to adopt  Jay. It has been 12 years since then and the two adults have never regrated their decision.

Soobin and Yeonjun on the other hand also had adopted a kid so they don’t get left behind. It was a boy, who was two years younger than their family friends’ son. I could say he was spoiled a lot by Yeonbin. Jungwon, that was his name, he was cute and kind, but he always wanted things to go his way. Because of that the adults couldn’t stop him from dating older boys. More accurately Jay.
Seonghwa, Yeonjun and Soobin had reached a consensus that at least two of them to keep an eye on the teens while they are on a date. Yeonbin were switching, but Hwa didn’t have with who, because Hong was quite busy. He literally had no idea of what was going on.
