"We're walking to this party," Hyunjin stated as he grabbed his jacket, "Kim Yugyeom's house is close and I can't drive." 

Jeongin laughed, "You're a gay who can't drive."

"Or do math," Hyunjin smiled as he put on his earrings, "Alright come on." 

The two boys made their way downstairs. Hyunjin quickly made his way to the living room where one of his dads sat watching a movie.

"Can I go to a party?" Hyunjin asked, "Jeongin is coming too." 

"Yeah sure," his dad said absentmindedly, not looking up at his son, "Come back fully clothed   and no drugs-" 

"No bringing home random strangers and no orgies. I know the rules, dad." Hyunjin finished off his father's statement with a sigh, "Let's go, Jeongin." 

"No orgies?" Jeongin whispered to the older. 

Hyunjin laughed, "He made that rule due to his own experience." 

Jeongin's eyes widened and he quickly shook any weird thoughts he had away. They began to make their way out of the door when they heard a scream from his other father. 

"Hyunjin, where are you going dressed like that?" His father yelled. 

"A party with Jeongin." His rolled his eyes, "I have permission to go." 

"From who?" 

"From dad!" Hyunjin put his hands on his hips. 

His father sighed and glared at the back of his husband's head, "Just button your shirt up some. Your father didn't even see what you're wearing, did he?"

"Of course not," Hyunjin laughed,  buttoning up his shirt, "Bye dad." 

"Don't catch an STI," His dad said to Hyunjin as he closed the door, "And take care of Jeongin." 

Hyunjin opened up his shirt once again and sighed, "He's so protective." 

"At least they let you go places." Jeongin sighed, "You're not trapped in studying and reading all day." 

The two boys walked side by side on the sidewalk, they took their time walking as Hyunjin wasn't in a big rush to make it to Yugyeom's party.

"Well no, I'm not but I do have other dilemmas that come with having two dads," Hyunjin shrugged, "Like being stuck in an infinite loop of ask your dad." 

"Do you ever wished you lived your biological parents?" Jeongin asked. 

"No," Hyunjin answered, "They didn't want me in the first place." 

"Oh," Jeongin sighed, "My question probably seemed dumb then." 

"It wasn't," Hyunjin smiled, "Besides, I have seen them before." 

"You have?" Jeongin questioned, "They knew who you were?"

"Yeah," Hyunjin yawned, "They were just happy knowing I was being raised by people who cared. They didn't have any other kids after me either, neither of them is made for taking care of kids. They said they do love me though, they just couldn't be the parents they knew a child needed. I'm thankful that they were smart enough to realize that they couldn't do it. Besides, they send me money every month so I can't say they don't do anything." 

"Imagine having money," Jeongin rolled his eyes, "I'm not allowed to have a job."

"Because you have to focus on school, right?" Hyunjin mocked Jeongin's parents. 

"Exactly, uhm Hyunjin?" Jeongin stopped walking.

"What?" Hyunjin turned around and saw Jeongin standing in front of a passed out drunk teenager who was partially hidden by bushes, "Oh we must be here."
