The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

24 ✔️

"Thank you for walking me back home" Inseong replied as they arrived at his home, shyly looking down to the ground as Jaeyoon gently took his hands into his own.
"As I said before, I'll come by tomorrow morning. Wait for me" Jaeyoon said, his thumb gently stroking the older's back of the hand.
"Alright, I'll wait" Inseong said, a shy smile appearing on his lips as he looked from their hands up in Jaeyoon's face.
"That's good" he nervously chuckled, still not letting go of the older's hand.
"Take care of yourself while going home" the older replied, already worrying about his stronger friend.
"Don't worry about me. Rest enough and sleep well."
"I will."

They were standing there for a few a moments just looking at each other on the dimly light sidewalk in front of Inseong's home.
"Can I kiss you" the younger suddenly blurted out, blushing as soon as he said it. Instead of answering Inseong only pulled him closer by his neck, gently kissing him as he got lost in the moment. It was sweet, gentle and everything they both wanted in this moment. It made them both a bit speechless as they parted, shy smiles being exchanged before the younger started speaking again.
"It's late. I should probably go home."
"You should rest enough" the older added, smiling at the younger before he stepped back.
"Don't forget, I'll be here at 7 tomorrow. Sleep well my boyfriend" Jaeyoon replied, a bright smile on his face before starting his walk home.
"I'll be here" Inseong mumbled to himself, gently touching his lips with a small smile as he thought back to everything that happened. Happily he unlocked the door and went inside, stepping out of his shoes at the entrance before joining his parents in the living room.
"Eomeoni, abeoji, I'm home" he announced as he went inside, stopping in his tracks as he saw his father already standing in the doorway.
"Where have you been? It's already close to midnight. You know exactly that you should come home immediately after school and study" his father replied, crossing his arms as he was talking to his son.
"I know but my friend needed my help."
"That so called friend you kissed right before our house?" he angrily replied, scaring his son at his outburst.
"Please I can explain" Inseong replied, knowing exactly that his father probably wouldn't acknowledge their relationship.
"What is there to explain? Do you know what people will say if they find out?"
"Why care about what the other's say? I love him" Inseong almost yelled back, holding his cheek when he felt the impact of his father's hand on his cheek.
"You're 19, you don't even know what love means. I don't care about what kind of girl you date as long as it isn't a boy. He doesn't deserve you."
"I don't want any girl. I love Jaeyoon and I don't care if other people won't approve. I'm happy with him, I don't want somebody else."
"You'll stop seeing him. I won't allow this and now go up and study" the middle aged man yelled, not caring about his only childs feeling at all.
Reluctantly Inseong obeyed, walking up to his room without saying another word at all. He knew that studying was important so he could go to a good college and he already worked so hard for it, spending so many sleepless nights only to study and please his parents and now he couldn't even meet Jaeyoon without getting yelled at. He knew that it was going to be hard but he never expected it to start this early on in their relationship. He couldn't concentrate anymore, he could feel the tears well up in his eyes, the stinging pain reminding him of his father's outburst only minutes ago. He wantes to do well, to always make their parents happy and not be a burden and now even as he was giving his all they were not satisfied and it deeply hurt. It hirt him knowing that he still wasn't good enough even if he already was the best in their whole grade. He knew that it has been long since he broke down like that, his friends were always there to make him think of other things but now he even had to worry about his parents not finding out that he would secretly be meeting Jaeyoon. The whole situation felt so hopeless to him, making him cry even harder as he ignored the beeping of his phone.
