Beach Days [JaeSeong]

Twenty Four

(Inseong's pov)

I wake up when I hear my mom calling my name.
- Inseong, your dad is calling you downstairs. He want us to have breakfast together.
I only nod and move to the bathroom while she runs downstairs. I guess she doesn't want to make him mad. I wash my face and grab my phone before going downstairs. Before entering the dining area I check my phone to see a message from Jaeyoon. I smile immediately.

Thx for keeping me company yesterday until I fell asleep. Your voice is as beautiful as you. You need to sing for me more often. Have a good day! Love u xxx

My smile gets even bigger. I stare at the screen for a couple seconds thinking what I should reply.
- Why are you smiling?
My dad take my phone of my hands and reads the message.
- Of course. I forgot you could communicate with that fag with your phone.
- Don't call him that!!!!
- Don't worry, I'll reply to him. And this is confiscated.
- Please, don't!! I promise I won't talk to him anymore, just don't say any mean things to him! Please!!
- Go to the table. We're having breakfast together everyday now. I want you to stop being so lazy about everything.
He walks away while I stand still for a few seconds. I move to the table and eat my breakfast silently. Actually, no one speaks. The silence is weird but we don't dare to break it. After I finish eating I wait until both of them finish. My dad gets up and order me to go to my room. While I walk I hear him saying to my mom that she can't talk to me and should stay on the kitchen and living room all the time while he's working on the office.
I sleep again until my mom calls me for lunch. After another awkward silence hour I return to my bedroom. I try to write songs, draw, read, everything that would normally keep my mind busy but nothing works. The fact that I don't have my phone to listen to music or watch stuff doesn't really help either. I stare at the ceiling waiting for something to happen. I'm worried about Jaeyoon, what did my dad sent to him? I hope he's ok. The something happens a few hours later when my mom calls me to dinner. I try to refuse but she says that my dad would get mad if I didn't go downstairs.
Dinner sucked as the rest of the day. Not because of my mom's food, of course. It's just the mood around all of us. I excuse myself and get out of the table. My dad says something about how it's not polite to leave before everyone finishes eating but I didn't finish my dinner either, so whatever. I open the curtains and the window on my room, that were closed all day, and feel the fresh air on my face. I see the ocean away and think about Jaeyoon. I sit there for hours before hearing a soft knock on the door. When I turn around I see my mom entering quietly. She whisper to me:
- I told your dad I was going to take a shower. Here, text Jaeyoon. I'll be back in twenty minutes.
She hands me her phone and leaves the room. I stare at it for a second before quickly typing a message.
