"Gosh! If school wasn't on tomorrow, then why did I need to study!?" I groan.

"Why? What happened at school?" Olivia asks me from the couch.

"Uhh... there was chaos at school," I mutter. My mum walks in with a concerned look.

"Are you okay!? Is everyone okay? Did anything happen? Are you hurt?" my mum exclaims in worry.

"Did you start it?" Olivia scoffs.

"Olivia, why would you ask that?" my mum snaps.

"I don't know. It seems like a felix-thing to do. Blowing up his school is his sorta thing, I guess," Olivia shrugs.

"Why would you think of your brother like that!?"

"... that smirk on his face says everything," Olivia says, pointing at me. My mum turns to me in confusion.

"Yeah, I did start it."

"... Should've known..." my mum sighs in dismay, "What's going to happen?"

"Dunno."

"You've taken after your father. Complete prankster and delinquent, always getting yourself into trouble!" my mum complains.

"I heard my name?" my dad chuckles, walking into the lounge.

"YOUR SON BLEW UP HIS HIGH SCHOOL!" my mum shouts angrily

"Really!? How was it? Was it spectacular? Was it loud? Was it crazy?" my dad asks.

"DO NOT ENCOURAGE HIM!" my mum lashes out furiously.

"Right right. That was a terrible thing to do Felix! You're grounded!" my dad shouts. My mum huffs in anger and walks away.

"You're not grounded. But tell me the details!" my dad exclaims quietly, so my mother can't hear. Me and Olivia crack up.

"Appa, seriously?" Olivia laughs.

"I could be suspended or expelled... or even worse, be sent to juvenile jail!" I chortle. My dad shrugs.

"It shouldn't be that bad! I broke 13 laws in one day! Lucky for me, I was in Australia at that time or I would've been screwed if it was Korea," my dad nonchalantly replies.

"OI! I SAID STOP ENCOURAGING THEM! NO DINNER OR PHONE FOR YOU, FELIX!" my mum roars from the kitchen.

"Okay! Okay! Jeez..." I grumble.

"Felix, go up to your bedroom, I'll bring snacks and stuff," my dad whispers, winking at me. I nod, rushing upstairs.

I'm completing my homework when my dad walks in with a confused face.

"Appa?"

"Son... would you like to explain this?" my dad mumbles, holding up my phone. There was a text message from Hyunjin saying - Lix, can I take you out on a date on the weekend?

My heart stops. I never thought about telling my parents about my sexuality. They never asked so I never brought it up...

"Do you... like men?" my dad asks.

"I-I--" I stutter.

"GOD! WHEN WILL YOU COME OUT OF THE CLOSET?" my dad shouts in annoyance.

"What?" I mutter in surprise.

"Son, it's kinda obvious you like men! Your mum and I never brought it up because we waited for you to tell us. Parenting is so hard I swear to god!" my dad whines.

"Wait... you knew?"

"We had our doubts and your sister confirmed them!" my mum chuckles, appearing in my room.

"I'm so sorry! I thought you wouldn't accept me!" I mumble. Suddenly, my parents and sister wrap their arms around me.

"Felix, we're your parents!" my dad says.

"And sister," my sister chimed in.

"Shut up Olivia," my mum snaps.

"You had to ruin the mood?" my dad sighs.

"Anyway, Felix, we will always accept you!" my mum exclaims.

"Thanks, Omma. Thanks, Appa. Thanks, Olivia," I chuckle in relief.

"Aeaurghhhh... what am I doing here?" Jeongin groans in irritation.

"Stop complaining already! Just take the consoler and play!" Seungmin huffs, throwing the console at Jeongin's stomach.

"OOF! THAT HURT SEUNGMIN!" Jeongin's shout.

"Your problem, mate," Seungmin shrugs.

"Stop fighting you two!" Jisung shouts.

"It wasn't my fault! He threw the controller at me!" Jeongin whines.

"He kept complaining so I made the most ethical decision and threw it at him to shut him up!" Seungmin argues.

"Do you even know the meaning of ethical?? That doesn't make any sense!" Jeongin exclaims.

"You don't make sense!"

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused!"

"STUFF YOU--"

"SCREW YOU!"

"NO."

"They just met like a week ago yet they don't ever stop bickering, do they?" I whisper to Jisung who sighs heavily.

"I was planning on making some Tteokbokki, but I don't want to leave these two unattended since they're capable enough to kill each other. Let's just order some Fried Chicken," Jisung says.

"Good idea," I reply, "We've gotten so close really fast, haven't we?"

"Mhm," Jisung replies, fetching out his phone. He dials the pizza place and starts ordering. I sigh to myself.

When am I going to tell them I've been seeing Hyunjin? They'll kill him...

I shake my head in dismay before seating myself in between Seungmin and Jeongin. Jeongin's phone starts ringing all of a sudden, catching all our attention.

"Hello? Oh, Channie!" Jeongin exclaims.

"Hey, babes!" Chan exclaims.

"Gross. Chan, stop calling Innie that," I gag.

"Oh hey, cousin. Anyway, we're wondering if you and your friends would like to join us for a sleepover tonight!" Chan asks.

"We would not like to join, thank you very much, because we're already having a sleepover of our own," Seungmin replies.

"Oh..."

"Hey, it's alright! They can just come over and hang out at my place," Jeongin suggests.

"Yeah! The more the merrier!" Jisung adds.

"You two just want to see your boyfriends," I grumble.

"Oh come on! Please?" Jisung whines, showing his puppy eyes.

"Wait, who's coming?" Jeongin cuts in.
