THE DREAM CHAPTER: ETERNITY.

THATS IT. THATS ALL.

"JIMIN! JIMIN! JIMIN!!!!"

I groaned and looked up from my broom. It was the week after Christmas and 2 days before New Years. The cafe was buzzing and we were pretty swamped. I was just ready for the day to be over so I can get home to Namjoon. He was busy next door doing late Christmas tattoo gifts for people. I've seen customers walk in and out all day today so he must be pretty tired.

I didn't want to turn around because I wasn't in the mood for talking. I wanted to be left alone at work today because I was really tired. No, Namjoon and I didn't do anything last night, I just had a lot of trouble falling asleep because I was really worried. My parents contacted me after a year without talking to me saying they're coming for a visit. They knew I had a cafe but that was it. They didn't know I was gay or had a boyfriend.

You see, my parents are extremely religious. They don't believe in being gay and frown upon anyone who is. If they found out they would totally disown me. They would be here tomorrow and would spend New Years with us. I was so afraid because they would have to stay at my apartment, not a hotel. Which means Namjoon has to sleep in my bed, but he already does. I just don't want them to find out about us.

I don't really know very much about my parents to be honest. All I know is that they dumped me at my cousin's house when I was 3 and they sent me money each month. Every month they'd send me a letter saying that they're fine and that they wish me luck in school. Never asking how I was or what was going on in my life. They stopped sending me money a year ago when I told them about the cafe, the only message I recieved back was an okay and that the money would stop. It hurt just a little bit.

I've always wanted a relationship with my parents but truth be told I don't think they really wanted me. If they did they would have taken me to America with them, but they didn't. Instead they dumped me with my cousin and sent me money every month when I started kindergarten. It didn't really bother me much until I started the 2nd grade. We had a mother son dance at our school and I had to take my cousin's mom. It just didn't feel the same and I was embarrassed.

When I started middle school and I started getting bullied, it got worse when they found out my parents left me. I made the mistake of telling them that I had parents but they lived overseas and I had to stay with my cousin. It just made the whole situation worse. I never told Namjoon about my parents or what happened to me in school. I was too afraid of what he would do if he found out that I was considered a freak.

Jin came flying out of the break room and grabbed onto my shoulders, startling me just a little bit.

"Yes Jin hyung?" I asked, turning to look at my hyung.

He looked very happy today, more than normal.

He squealed, "Guess what!!!"

"What?" I asked.

"Chan and I got approved! We're getting a baby!" He exclaimed.

I gasped, "Hyung that's amazing!"

Chan and Jin have been talking about adoption for months now. Jin has always wanted kids and finally talked Chan into it. They applied in the beginning of December and have been waiting anxiously. To be honest I have been too, we all have. I was going to be an uncle and I couldn't be more excited for them.

Jin hugged me really tightly and I could tell he was about to cry.

"We can go after New Years and adopt our child. It's a boy and his name is Yeonjun. I would show you a picture but I want it to be a surprise!" He cheered.
