“Haa…”

I sighed constantly as I sat on the bench next to the playground.

I was as lonely as the chilly autumn.

With my elbows on my thighs and my chins on my hand, I glanced down at the empty playground, which appeared even gloomier.

The bag I was still carrying on my shoulder was becoming heavier.

It seemed like the weight of life itself.

I pondered how I would get to school tomorrow.

I was filled with tears and sadness at the same time as the thought.

It was all because of my older brother.

No, it was because of Alan.

No, it was because I was kissing in front of the apartment, but instead of stopping, I kissed Alan’s lips again because I like it.

I stomped my foot on the ground in the intense emotion that churned like a wave. But nothing was resolved.

“…”

I took my phone from my pocket. There were seven calls.

All of them came from my older brother.

Alan had just left one message, asking if I had gone into my house.

I couldn’t think of anything to say. I was a fool.

I promised to tell him the truth, but I lacked the confidence to contact him.

Then I have to inform him that my older brother saw us kissing.

It was much more difficult to tell that my older brother insulted him by calling him a bastard.

I could have lied if I had to, but I wasn’t very good at lying. My lips licked.

Let’s just spend the night alone outside.

Anyway…

I’d be sitting here on the playground all night regardless.

It was a playground in an apartment complex, so it should be safe.

Life was always like that. Life was all about being alone. There was no need for family… or a brother.

“What if phi tells our parents…”

My brother will tell them for sure.

Dean was a person who would have woken up our parents if I was in the wrong and said that I was dating a man and ran out of the house when he scolded me a little.

Aside from my love for Alan, it was nonetheless terrifying.

How startled our parents would be if their youngest son, with whom they had spent their entire lives, suddenly became homosexual.

And I had no idea what kind of reaction I would get.

I’ve never had a conversation like this with my family.

Also, even if it was just me, I used to fantasize about having a normal girlfriend until I met Alan…

What if my parents find out? If they told me to break up with Alan… 

No, what if Alan found out about this fact and left me in fear…

I closed my eyes tightly.

Closing my eyes did not put my complicated thoughts to sleep.

I really like Alan…

I don’t want to break up…

However, I did not want to expose my current situation.
