The Little Devil's Angels

Message Crisis

Sunghoon now sits in his room with Jungwon and Sunoo around his living room table.

"So ur saying his parents are real pain in the back sides and only approached him cause they wanted to find out who he's dating?" Jungwon clarifies

"That's what it seems like" Sunghoon sighs

"Did they find out?" Sunoo asks as he immediately shakes his head

"Heeseung got me out before they could question Niki and I further"

"What were they like?" Sunoo asks again

"I didn't stay for long but it seems they're really strict and want to keep Heeseung in line with their expectations but never proud of him" Sunghong let's out another sigh "I wish I could just tell his parents how amazing he is"

"You did it to Heeseung when you stood up for Chohee, why not do the same here?" Jungwon questions

"I just feel like I wouldn't have the guts to tell them I'm dating their son plus, I didn't know Heeseung was this important guy till later on"

"Are you proud to be dating him?"

"yes of course I am but..it's so hard to say when they're so intimidating, even Heeseung didn't wanna say anything for his and my sake meaning the reaction wouldn'tbe the best"

"I thought hs would be proud to speak about it?" Sunoo adds

"Come on, he hasn't kept in contact with them for years from what it sounds like, I won't be surprised if the tension and grudges are still there throughout all these years"

"But at the same time it has to be him who speaks his mind right? It's what Chohee did" Jungwon reminds

"That's..true"

"From a non relationship standpoint, my best advice is to support Heeseung in his decisions and maybe push him into the right mindset if going astray" Sunoo suggests "do you know what's hs's view on this?"

Sunghoon nods "he said something along the lines of..."

(Flashback)

Heeseung slumos his head on Sunghoon's shoulder still in his embrace in the office tilting his head to face the window for air once calming down

"How are you feeling?"

"..stupid...weak..and a big idiot" he mumbles

"You know that's not true"

"Then why do I feel like this..."

"Maybe you bottled up this for so long that apart of you just wanna run then face it like you always have but now gives you a lot of stress"

"m..maybe...I don't like them here"

"I know you don't, from what you've said sounds like you didn't like your parents to begin with"

"Heh, it's that easy to tell is it?" He sarcastically says to himself

"This has been built up for years and you thought you didn't ask anyone for help?"

"There's not many I could turn to and if they know, they saw it on my face already how sick I am of this"

"How about Jake? Does he know?"

Heeseung nods "he was the only person I could turn to back then"

"Could you tell me?"

"I think my previous rants about this already say how much I 'care' for them"

"Then..how about a summary?"

Heeseung stays silent before getting his act together"well the expectation to get 1st in everything burdened me and..I was treated like an object to be displayed umm...I rebelled against them for the 1st time, it felt bad yet great. Got to taste freedom, love, what it was truly like to live life" Heeseung moved closer though there wasn't any gap to close in on.
