Pansexual || Namjin

Chapter 1

This is it, Jin! You can do this! It's just me saying "this is how I am" and BAM. If they don't accept me, I guess I'll live in someone's house or maybe my friend's home. I have everything planned. I got this-

"Jin, is there something you want to tell us?"

His thoughts faded away as he was interrupted by his parents' presence. Just them in front of him is enough for him to make his teeth shatter. Okay, maybe this wasn't easy as he thought when he read people's stories about "leaving the closet". This is much harder than he thought as his shoulder tensed up from the long silence from his parents. He felt the eyes of patience and confusion burning through his mind.

Come on, Jin! I can do this! Don't let anyone bring you down.

"I, uh..."

"Come on, tell us, Jin. You can tell us everything, " His mother gently said, holding onto Jin's cold hands together in comfort. "We won't judge."

He felt that warm touch of gratification as he heard those words. He took a deep breath, trying to relax his mind from his anxious thoughts. "Mom, Dad, I'm—"

There was a loud ringing from the kitchen. It stopped after a minute.

"Sorry, keep going."

He took another deep breath again, keeping his words loud and clear. He can't believe he's doing this. It's finally the time he opens about his true self. The true me. "Mom, Dad. I'm pan—"

There was this loud ringing again from the kitchen. His mother stood up from the brown leather couch, turning the sound off. Apparently, it was a call.

"Sorry, Jin, I have a call from work."

Jin felt a speck of anger from the interruptions. He only had his dad in front of him, still waiting for him to speak. His father was laying back to the couch, trying to make himself comfortable.

"So, what's in your mind, son?" His father questions, taking a sip of melon juice from his mug.

"Look, dad. I hope you won't be mad or disappoint me or anything. But I have a huge... thing I have to tell you!" Jin blurted, feeling his emotions being all over the place.

"You can tell me anything. I won't judge."

"I-I'm... I'm... I'm Pans—"

"Sorry for interrupting, Jinnie. Now, what are you going to say?" His mother sighed, which it sounds like from tiredness. She sat down next to her husband, resting her head on her husband's shoulders.

"Darling, you interrupted him. He was about to say something important, " His father said, massaging her shoulders gently.

"Sorry, I got a call from work. They changed my schedule and my morning shift."

Jin felt ignored as his parents continued talking. His mother turned to Jin with an apologetic expression. "I'm so sorry. What are you going to say about Pans?"

"Nevermind. Forget it."
