Mingyu kept his eyes on Wonwoo, making sure he was being taken to the right place before his eyes wandered back to his plate.

He was just eating to calm his nerves down and to make sure he didn't blow up on his parents.

"I don't want him near you." Mingyu heard his father say and his fork dropped making a noise as it hit the plate. "What?" He questioned.

"Don't bring him here again, I can tell he's not well off... what did I tell you about connections?"

Mingyu scoffed at his father's words.

"And what of that pretty girl you were dating Gyu, Yeri? Very beautiful and her father is very influential just like yours." Mingyu's mother added.

Mingyu took a deep breath, trying to drown their words out before he revealed.

"I'm gay and Wonwoo hyung's my boyfriend."

As soon as he uttered those words, he saw all colour drain out his parents' faces. They looked at him with their mouths hung slightly open.

"What?!" His father yelled standing up. Mingyu continued to eat his pasta. "Mingyu-ya, this is not how we raised you!"

He dropped his fork and stood up throwing the plate off the table. The sound of the marble breaking rendered his parents silent again.

"You didn't raise me! You didn't! So stop saying you did!" Mingyu yelled moving backwards. "You know who raised me?!"

"All these amazing people whose names you don't even know after over 10 years of them working like slaves for you! You know what else raised me?! Books! When you and mum would leave for God knows how long, all I had were these books! You know who comforted me? All the nannies you hired! You know who befriended me when no one else would?! Minghao! You know who loved me when you both couldn't?..." Mingyu hadn't even noticed he was crying until a tear touched his arm.

"Wonwoo..." His voice cracked as the tears started to fall in a higher quantity. "I know I'm just a backup plan in case anything happens to my brother but why does that mean I can't be loved? Why can't you both love me for who I am and not for who you want me to be?"

"Who are you to tell me who to befriend, who to love when you have never been there for me?! You have no right! Neither of you do!"

Mingyu's face was fully soaked and his eyes were still filled, blurring his vision. He turned to leave but stepped on the glass and almost slipped when someone held him up.

He looked at the person and he knew instantly that it was Wonwoo. It would always be Wonwoo.

"I really wanted to make a good impression but it seems I don't need to, you're not even his parents anyways. Just the sperm carrier and the one who gave birth to him. You don't even deserve to be called his fucking parents." Mingyu heard Wonwoo say before being carried out of the room.

His lips curled up in a proud smile. Wonwoo had given him another reason to be in love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonwoo had overheard the last part of Mingyu's yell and had gone to take him away from that man and woman.

Wonwoo couldn't believe he had actually cared about making a good impression on them. He should've been more worried about Mingyu.

Wonwoo looked at Mingyu who was lying on his lap, little tears still dropping from his eyes and he just wanted the boy to be okay.

He was disgusted that parents like Mingyu's actually existed. Parents that didn't care to raise their children but all of a sudden want to command them when they're older.
