Love Contradiction

15. ALL IN

Disclaimer: I don't know the CEO of the company, so IDK his position on LGBTQIA issues, this is a work of fiction.

Back at their apartment, they had about two hours before they needed to be at the recording studio.

They decided to cuddle and watch some TV.

"Soo... Kim Hyunjin?"

Hyunjin belly laughed, getting a little shy, his hand covering his mouth.

"Yes. I would actually like to change my name to yours, if you don't mind it. I've been..." He stopped himself. "This is going to sound cheesy, but I have been imagining our wedding day for a long time now, and in every one of my fantasies, I take your name.

"Plus, let's get real, Hwang Seung Min just does not flow as well as Kim Hyun Jin."

"No, you have a point there. Thank you! I won't ever get tired of thanking you for loving me. To think I missed out on so much already. I'll treasure every second with you."

They pressed their lips together in a kissing smile, but the moment was interrupted when they got a call from Bang Chan.

"Yes, hyung?"

"Where are you guys?

Get your asses back here. We have a meeting with Mr. Jung Wook and JYP..."

"Why?" Hyunjin asked.

"Because I asked for it. The way Div one handled this is unacceptable, so I requested a meeting with them. Let's get straight answers from our CEO and our Content Director. Whatever comes from this meeting will determine the future of Stray Kids in JYPE past 2025. I already talked with the kids, and all eight of us will be in the meeting in support of you two.

At the meeting, Bang Chan explained the situation to the two executives.

"How do you want to handle this? I'll be honest, all of us are in agreement that should you want to stop them from getting married in 2025, we will not renew our contract, which is frankly not something we want, but we won't tolerate that level of interference with our personal lives. We actually think we should just let Stay know and have them get used to the idea now. It's not like they'll be too surprised."

Every member nodded their heads in agreement and gave a thumbs up to the couple in support.

Felix raised his hand to speak. "I don't understand Division One's reaction. I wasn't there today. Is it because they're getting married, or is it because they're getting married to each other? Would it be okay if they'd be marrying a girl? I need to know."

Jung Wook scratched his head not knowing what to say, and looked at JYP, who looked at each member and smiled that smile he does before he's about to break a contestant's heart. "Yongbokah, our culture doesn't see same sex marriage as okay. It isn't even accepted legally. We're just concerned about the hate you would receive."

"You mean, you're concerned about the money you would lose." I.N. said under his breath, but loud enough for everyone to hear and smile proudly at their maknae.

"What he said." Felix pointed at I.N. and nodded. "That's really your concern." At this point, he had tears in his eyes. "I'm gay too! I also have someone in my heart. In my case, they don't know how I feel about them, so who knows, but if this company won't be our ride or die, then what are you even here for? We have given you everything we've got. The least we should receive is your support. We have listened well, but this is too much." His tears just flowed.

Changbin looked at Felix, and decided to also speak up. "I'm gay, too." Everyone looked at him surprised. "I am! So what!?"

The CEO stood up, "is anyone else gay?" He had a smirk as if he didn't believe the last two men.
