Tension | Hyunsung ✓

44

Never in the world did Mrs.Han ever thought her son would have a lover and what more, it was his friend's son.

After what happened, she quickly told Hyunjin to go home and come again the next day.

To be said, Jisung received a long lecture from his mother while his father who just returned from the restaurant just sat at the back watching the love of his life scolding his child. Ah, the house had been lively lately but should she scold him? He is sick after all. Was the only thing his father thought while sipping on his coffee.

So, the next day, Hyunjin really came back. He wasn't sure if he was actually supposed to come but Jisung texted him to come there immediately this morning.

So, he really came.

He sat kneeled in front of Jisung's parents with Jisung sitting next to him. He stilled in his spot when Jisung leaned in, "are you wearing a perfume?", Jisung sniffed.

—slam!

Mrs.Han slammed her hand on the table, "Jisung stay put", Jisung backed away, who knew his little action seemed so intimate in his mother's eyes but he swore, it wasn't intimate at all. He asked out of curiosity because Hyunjin doesn't usually wear perfumes. Maybe he was trying to impress his parents but he saw them almost everyday, that couldn't be it.

"Mom, don't get angry. I'm the one who asked him out", Hyunjin whipped his head around and stared at Jisung. His eyes narrowed, saying how could you say it so easily? Jisung scoffed, glaring back at Hyunjin, his two fingers threatening Hyunjin as if he would claw his eyes out, you were the one who outed us yesterday. You dare to talk about spilling things so easily? What bullshit-

—slam!

"You asked him out first?" Jisung nodded. "Is there any problem with that?", Hyunjin shook his head, of course, there would be a problem. She didn't even know his son was capable of liking another person's son, a male. It's maybe not foreign among new generations but it wasn't for the pass generations. No matter who you asked, they would definitely say Jisung was trying to kill himself.

"Any problem? There's many problem!", His mother's blood shot up. She didn't know this day would come where his son would irritate this much. "You liking a guy is already a shock to me but why must it be Hyunjin?!"

No matter how much she thought it out, she couldn't think why must it be Hyunjin. "There's lot other better people out there! What about Felix, one of your friend? He's good looking, lively and kind but there's definitely not many people pinning after him", compared to the good looking and serious in what he does Hyunjin, she preferred the good looking, lively, adorable and perfect son-in-law type of person like Felix. That was the biggest problem!

Jisung's father pulled her down, "calm down. Why are you so angry at your son? So what if he chose Hyunjin. It's not like you're the one dating him.", It was the first time his father said anything but Jisung was so grateful he said anything at all. It would have been awkward if he hadn't say anything. It wasn't like he would stand up and suddenly say "so, what?! I love him with all my might! Nothing can come across us!" Like he was in a morning drama.

"So, now. Stop pestering your son and help me open the restaurant today. Why is it that I feel like I married a child?", His father walked to the door while dragging his wife who was still struggling to scold his son. "I do not approve! It better be that Felix kid!", His father paid no mind to his mother. He smiled at his son, "take care of the house while we're out!"

Jisung nodded and sighed once his parents went out. "It went well", he said pulling Hyunjin up from the floor. "What went well? Your mother was glaring at me as if she wanted to tore me alive!", Hyunjin cried.

Jisung leaned in, "but are you really wearing a perfume?", Hyunjin backed away. "Why are you so interested if I wear one or not? I'm not! I just change my detergent"

"Why are you so angry?! I just asked because I'm curious. Why are you so grumpy?", Was it not normal for him to he interested? Hyunjin was his boyfriend. Did he need to put a stress on that? Why was Hyunjin so dense when he was the one who liked Jisung first?

Jisung didn't know how Hyunjin felt before but this was probably how he felt before. Being in his shoes, it was really annoying.

"Hyunjin, do you-" not see me as your boyfriend? He wanted to say but he took it back. "Never mind, yesterday you didn't get your guitar lesson. Let's go up", Hyunjin followed him.

Jisung took out his guitar from his case and handed it to Hyunjin. "Do you know any cord?" Hyunjin shook his head, he did like music and there was even some groups or bands he liked but he never tried to pick up any instruments. Jisung moved closer to Hyunjin, taking Hyunjin's index finger which surprised the taller. "Why are you acting so surprised? You said you want a lesson" He held Hyunjin's middle finger and the fourth finger, "place them here"

"Remember the position. You must press it or it won't make the sound you want", Hyunjin nodded, his eyes seemed earnest as he pressed his fingers on the strings. "Try strumming the guitar", Hyunjin tried to do as he was told to and succeeded. He looked up from the guitar and stared at Jisung with sparkly eyes, like a child who had been given candy for being a good kid. "Great! Remember the first chord I teach you! It's chord C. This was also the first chord I learnt when I was in middle school!"

"It's not a hard chord but it's pretty special since it's like the starting of me doing music", Jisung hadn't realized it but Hyunjin saw how enthusiastic Jisung was when he talked about this not so difficult chord. Hyunjin beg to differ, it was difficult...at least to him, a beginner with no basic knowledge.  "It's my first chord too!", Hyunjin beamed.

"I like it too! This chord", because he got to experience something Jisung experienced before. He tried strumming again but the sound came out out of tune. Jisung chuckled, "it's been like 5 seconds, you forgot how to do it already? There's so many more chord to learn you know?"

Jisung leaned closer, placing his hand over Hyunjin's shoulder, correcting Hyunjin's posture and fingers. "Try strumming again"

Sigh, how could Hyunjin got it on his first try and then failed the second and third time? "Again", no matter how many time Jisung taught him, it felt like nothing was going through and Hyunjin said he liked the chord too. Hyunjin's mind was truly not with him, it flew somewhere far when Jisung leaned closer to him. This position was dangerous, too dangerous.

Jisung probably would have noticed how flushed his face was. "Hyunjin", Jisung said, tapping his shoulder.

"Why are you zoning out? Try strumming again", Hyunjin coughed, taking Jisung's arm and unwrapping it from his shoulder. "Alright", he strummed again and smiled. " I did it "

"But Jisung. What will you do from now on? Do you have exact plan?", Jisung hummed. Exact plan. He did have a plan but he wasn't sure if it was an exact one he wanted or not. "I'm thinking of applying for an internship at JYPent"

"I think I'm going to send a song sample to their email? Also I think I'm gonna go to our old school and teach our juniors?", By doing that, he would know if he wanted to do basketball or do music.

He already contacted his old coach and send an email to JYPent. Just that, he hadn't tell anybody about it. "You're going to support me, right?"

"Of course..."

"Right, tomorrow. The festival. Let's go together. I'm borrowing Chan hyung's car. "
