Detached | Seungjin

Three

Seungmin opens his eyes, feeling the back pain on his body from what happened to him and Hyunjin last night. He sees Hyunjin out of the bed, buttoning his white dress shirt as if he was about to go somewhere.

"Jinnie?" Seungmin called out as he rubbed his eyes.

Hyunjin glanced to his direction, "Oh, Minnie. You're awake." 

"Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah, grandfather called for an urgent meeting."

"About what—"

Before Seungmin could even ask about the 'urgent meeting,' Hyunjin leaned in and gave a quick kiss on Seungmin's lips, "I need to go, baby. Take care, okay?" He said as he grabbed his phone and his suitcase before leaving his boyfriend alone in the room.

Seungmin sighed, "He's really one busy person, huh."

He tried to get out of the bed but his back pain is preventing him to. He sighed, grabbing his hoodie from the side and putting it on instead. He leaned by the headboard of the bed and turned his eyes to the window, staring at the clear skies. 

"Hyunjin's grandfather... huh."

Seungmin couldn't help but recall the past about his boyfriend's grandfather. The meeting of the two are quite cliché of a story, if you'll ask. It was Hyunjin who first fell in love with Seungmin. Seungmin has always been the ignorant type of person who doesn't really care about other people unless they're his friends, but Hyunjin was determined to get Seungmin. 

The love story of the two started when they were assigned to be dorm mates for the rest of their high school life which Hyunjin took as an opportunity to court Seungmin. He had to go through a lot of rejections but in the end, he was able to make Seungmin fall in love with him.

However, meeting Hyunjin's family was quite the problem for Seungmin. Hyunjin always tells him that it'll need to take some time before Hyunjin can officially announce about his boyfriend.

In the end, Seungmin did meet Hyunjin's family. But it was a nightmare. Hyunjin's parents and his sister didn't really have a problem with their relationship. But his grandfather did.

Unlike Hyunjin, Seungmin was just a normal aspiring high schooler who pays his own tuition fee to study. Hyunjin, on the other hand, is a rich boy who already had a future planned for him.

His grandfather didn't approve of Seungmin, mainly because of his social status. He didn't trust the younger for his grandson's future. He humiliated him in front of Hyunjin, his parents, and his sister. He humiliated him in front of the family table.

Seungmin was honestly on the verge of breaking up, but Hyunjin refused to. He told his boyfriend he'll be talking to his grandfather about the issue.

It's been 2 years since Seungmin last met Hyunjin's family. Hyunjin has been telling Seungmin that he already talked to his grandfather and that everything between their relationship is all good now.

However, Seungmin still can't help but wonder if what Hyunjin said was true, considering the fact that he can't even meet his family again.

These days, Hyunjin has been very busy. The last trip that he had was when he went to America because of some family matters. The two of them haven't been spending too much time since Hyunjin was always not around. Despite the lack of time that they have, Seungmin choose to understand his boyfriend's situation. After all, he doesn't really understand the life of the rich so he believes he has no right to complain.

But then again, he still can't help but wonder if everything Hyunjin was telling him was true.

"Is he... lying?"
