She's a He? || Jihan

As Mrs Hong finished straightening up the kitchen, Jeonghan tried hard not to hyperventilate.

His mind was racing, if Joshua's mom hated him, Joshua might have to break up with Jeonghan.

So, Jeonghan bit his lip and sat up from the table, thanking the female chef and bringing his bowl to the sink.

Joshua studied Jeonghan's figure and actions closely, it was apparent he was extremely uncomfortable but he knew he could do nothing to help the older boy feel more comfy in the homophobic household so he stayed quiet.

Jeonghan glanced at the woman, smiling awkwardly, "I-.... Can I help you with the dishes?" He asked kindly.

She quickly returned the grinning expression and nodded at the "girl". She opened her lips to speak, her tone gentle and loving, "Of course you can, dear. Thank you." 

Jeonghan nodded back, fidgeting with his fingers behind his back, "Oh..well..... it's the least I can do to thank your kindness!" He responded, fake enthusiastically as he moved to plug the sink.

His hand turned the faucet on, allowing the water to heat up and fill the sink.  Around halfway full he turned off the water, grabbing the dish soap, conveniently located beside the handle on the right. Flicking the lid up, Jeonghan let small drops fall into the water.

As Mrs Hong and her son talked a hint about something Jeonghan didn't care enough to listen to, he stirred his fingers in the water.  Soon, it bubbled up to wrist and he began scrubbing the dishes.

"Jeonghan is such a sweet girl, I'm so happy you brought her home, Jisoo!" She exclaimed, watching Jeonghan preform the act of cleansing on the dishes. 

Joshua headed out of the kitchen briefly to check on Yuri, who was in the living room coloring.

"What are you drawing, Princess?" Joshua asked sweetly, kneeling down to look at the picture on the paper.

Crayons covered the floor around them like lily pads in water, beautiful as it radiated the energy of youth that stress had stolen from Joshua.  The image on Yuri's canvas, a blue piece of construction paper, was a messy but simple image of Yoon Jeonghan.

"Wow!" Joshua praised, "Is this Jeonghan-hyung?" 

Yuri nodded eagerly, smiling before she abruptly stopped moving, "hyung? I thought hyung was used to call an older boy... not an older girl...isn't Jeonghan-unnie your Noona?" Yuri questioned, raising one of her thin eyebrows.

Joshua's heart practically stopped. "I-... Don't tell mom!" He practically shouted. 

"So...Jeonghan unnie...is Jeonghan oppa then?" Yuri whispered silently, extremely confused.
