jisung being distracted with packaged cheesecake is probably a good plan.

the day before his mom told him that she should work overnight, and will come in two days, which means tomorrow. now, he had to call her since he cant wait.

he looked for his mom's phone number, and tried to call her a few times. no answer. maybe she's busy. "come on..."

"come on what?"

younghyun shrieked a bit before looking back and saw jisung smiling. "nothing, nothing."

"but you acting strange today. you met a guy?"
"g-guy?"
"i mean friends."

"um, I did. yeah. he's the new band guy." younghyun composed himself so that his younger brother would not know what is up with his actions. before heading towards the cashier, he noticed his phone ringing and saw the id caller. mom.

shit.

the boy hid his phone behind him, and rushing to his pocket to grab his pocket money and grab his brothers hand, shoving the sheet of money, "jisung, here's ten dollars go buy anything you want. I'll be back, kay?"

"alright. and can I buy coke? I'm hungry."
"whatever you want!"

a few seconds pass and he felt no vibration from his phone, which means that he took to long to walk fast out of the supermarket. he tried calling again, but too late; he saw his mom walking towards him, her large bag (a/n: imagine that valentino white bag, but brown) hanging onto her right shoulder as her left hand held her phone who rang because her son decided to call again. "younghyun, you worried me! why would you call me? I thought you had a car crash or something-"

"mom, we need to talk. and please get jisung out of this."

speaking of the devil, the young kid walked towards his brother and mother who looked wierd, because younghyun grabbed onto their mom's shoulder, "are you guys alright?"

"yeah, sweetie. let's get to the car, you have dance class in half an hour." her hand grabbed her younger son's, taking the car keys and walking swiftly towards the car that parked a few meters away from them.

...

since jisung is gone for at least two hours, it's time for the both of them to have a talk. younghyun sat on the chair that looked towards the small television that they had ever since he was a little kid. images flow back to his brain and remembered how he lost balance when trying to walk and almost dropped it. gladly, his dad took his child away before the tv started falling, which didn't happen because his mom is ready to grab it.

"what's up? the band, or school? how was your exam?" mrs. kang walked towards her son, grabbing a small couch pillow and brought it to her lap, then kye came to sit near her leg. "mom, are going to be mad at me, if you didn't expect me to be someone you want?"

she got a little confused, which made younghyun even nervous if he should let it out. maybe it's for the best. "I mean, I would accept everything. as long as it isn't so far. is there something wrong?"

"there is. mom, I'm..."
"wait, are you?"
"I'm what?"
"you didn't pass the exam?"

the boy laughed out loud, scaring his dear mother whose eyes widened. "mom, I'm gay."

"YOU ARE WHAT?"

"I know mom! I can't, I can't be straight because all I see are guys that walk around at school doing nothing but it still made by heart flutter!"
"younghyun..."

"mom, please don't be mad at me, I know I'm not-"
"younghyun, I am too. sorry dear. I never loved your dad, and it's all for money. I'm a horrible person, am I?"

wait did she just, wait what? she confessed to me as well? how should I respond???

"mom, it's alright. you're not a bad person. plus, I'm born to hate dad. we did confess our secrets to each other." he said slowly as he saw his mom having tears in her eyes. "what should I do now? I loved someone at work, and she also likes me. younghyun, please don't tell anyone. we still need you to go to college. and I don't want to work another job because two has been too much for me."

he didn't know what to do anymore. his mom likes another woman at work and now he loved someone that his dad probably won't accept. younghyun. didn't want to see his mom hurt anymore. he wanted her to be happy, as she always been in pictures of her youth, always smiling and always looking fresh. she changed significantly, as he observed over the years. her husband was too much. the boy have seen so much to say it's enough. his father would never change even if he tries. "don't cry mom. I'm sure that dad would understand."

"he would never. I know him better that you. I married him so that we could have a stable life, dear. it's has always been like that. he didn't love me because of my character or actions, but because of this face!" she cried out as she held her child's shoulder, hiding her face there. "mom, honestly, I can't help you. I'm sorry. but let's stay this way, with dad. until we get enough money to leave him. you get me, mom?"

"alright. but please stay away from our fights. you'll get hurt and nothing will be solved because you're not good at being peace."
"are you serious? I thought I'm good at that. you should've told me in the first place." younghyun chuckled as he saw his mom getting herself to walk into her room and take a shower. "plus, I hope I see my new son in the future." alright, I got mom's trust.
