Why So Lonely? || Minsung 1/3 ✔️

72

"Jisung?" My mom comes into my room, pulling me away from my phone.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk to you for a minute?"

Oh shit, what did I do?

"Yeah, of course."

I walk behind her down the stairs and into the living room where my dad was waiting for us.

Did something happen? Is Minho okay? Of course he was, I was just messaging him. Are my friends okay? Are they going to ask about it? About him?

"Jisung," my dad begins, "your mom and I have noticed a few things about you. We aren't accusing you of this, but we both want you to know we love you. We just want you to be honest with us.
Are you gay?"

RED ALERT. RED ALERT.

"W-what?" I try to laugh the words out, but my voice breaks instead. Their words began to sound like they were underwater.

I could feel my heart beat pound against my chest. My breathing was beginning to falter, my brain trying to grasp words to lie. Tears built in my eyes while I tried to blink them away. The fear that was inside of me was crazed.

"Honey, it's okay. If you are or aren't, it's okay," my mom tries to assure me, sitting next to me and wrapping her arm around me.

I cover my face with my trembling hands and nod, "I-I... I am. I'm gay."

"It's okay honey. We just wanted to know. Just breathe," she rubs my shoulder, pulling me into a warm hug. "We both accept you. Don't worry. You're okay."

I shake my head, still not making eye contact i fear that they were lying. "I-I was going to tell you, I swear I was. I was just scared."

"We understand. It's okay," my dad joins into the conversation, "you better give us grandchildren. Doesn't matter how you get them. I want to be the favorite grandpa."

I laugh, wiping my tears, "I'm sure you will be."

"Now Jisung, are you and... Minho... dating? I don't want to assume, but I'm going to anyway. I saw you and him cuddling in your sleep, so it kind of made me question it."

I smile, glancing up at her, "yeah, we are."

She sends a smile back, "best friends, my ass. He's a good kid. I hope he's taking care of you. I know how much time you guys spend together and all."

"Trust me, he is. We take care of each other really well. He does a really good job of it too. I promise."

"You know what'll happen if he-"

"Yes, I know, I know," I chuckle, "you'll kill him, but he won't. I know it. I have a good feeling about him, mom."

"Good. I didn't want to have to do that. He's such a cutie. You guys look good together."

"Thanks," I blush, dropping my gaze from her.

The tears hadn't fully stopped, even after I went back to my room. I was so unbelievably happy. I was worried for nothing.

Calling Sunshine ☀️💕

"Hey angel."

I laugh, sniffling, "hey."

"Are you okay? Are you crying?"

"I'm fine. I'm... I'm okay. My parents asked me if I was gay just a few minutes ago. Min, I was so scared." I take a moment to regain my breath, wiping my eyes. "But everything is fine. They know about you and I now."

"Oh, angel, that's great! I'm so happy for you, and I'm proud of you!"

"Thanks," I shyly respond, "I was so worried about it. My mom questioned me the other day. She asked if I liked you and I said that yeah, you were my best friend. I've been worrying about it since then. I thought they were going to be mad."

"That's why you were so spaced out yesterday and today? You could've told me, baby."

"I just thought I was overthinking it. It sounded stupid, so I didn't really want to bring it up."

"I understand that. I'm glad that it went well for you, angel. You know I'm here for you."

"I know, I know. Do you want to come over tomorrow?"

"Sure baby. I'll text you when I'm leaving."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you, too."
