Sungchul x Hyuk

Chapter IX

The coffee

struggles..

Lee and Hyuk talked a lot and Hyuk understood what Lee was trying to say.

Dad: " So Hyuk, that's why you should always be sure about your future and about what you want to do! That's important."

Hyuk: "Yes, you are absolutely right.. So just that I got everything right, Lee.. You fell in love ? again?"

Dad: "Yes, and it wasn't easy to tell Sungchul's mother about it. Something like that is never easy! I was scared about her reaction but,, I did it. After , I felt better.. because I felt free."

Hyuk: "Mhm, everyone would-"

Dad: "*kind of teared up* And I know that it was my fault.. I disturbed and ruined her life. If I wasn't with her, she maybe would be at home now with her lovely children and a better husband, but yeah, what should I do.. So, what I actually wanted to say *wipes the tears away* I fell in love-, in love with my best friend.. He was the only one I had and my wife. But with him.. everything was kind of different."

Hyuk: "Oh! So, you are homosexual , lee?"

Dad: "Oh, ehm- Yes, Hyuk. I hope you don't mind(!)"

Hyuk: "No, No! It's totally fine *smiles*"

Dad: "Thank you.. You know, I actually can't tell you that but these days I went to Sungchuls room just to clean up a little bit , it really is a mess sometimes *laughs*. I found his sketches and I thought as a Dad it is okay to look at them, right(?)"

Hyuk: "Okay, and? Did you find something? Or why are you telling me that *laughs*"

Dad: "Yes, yes, let me finish! The first pages looked and seemed 'normal' but then I realised that he really loves the male body and in general boys and men. I really got confused so I looked into his whole sketch books."

Lee talked about the sketch books and drawings for hours without saying why he looked into them. Hyuk were just sitting there and listened.

- Hyuk: "Talk to him, Lee.."

A while after, Lee came to the point that he thinks his son, Sungchul is homosexual, too. He wasn't against it but he was scared because after Lee left his wife and his best friend left him, he doesn't want Sungchul to experience the same. Hyuk understood but seemed shocked.

The same day. Everyone was at home, 10pm.

Dad: "Sungchul?"

Sungchul: "Yes, dad?"

Dad: "How are you feeling, son?"*sitting next to him*

Sungchul: "I am fine, dad, why are you asking?"

Dad: " I need to talk to you. But please don't get mad at me, alright?"

Sungchul: "Depends.. but yes, okay."

Dad: "I went to your room these past days. I found your sketch books and looked into it a bit. *sungchul gets red* And I've to say that you can draw really well, son!"

Sungchul: "Th-thank you? Dad.."
