his book is finally finished, edited, and is ready to get published. seungmin worries about how his parents will react about it because he's planning to tell them today. they're coming back to south korea today.

felix and seungmin lay at his bed. the sunlight managed to peek through the curtains, and it shines upon them.

❝why are you so nervous?❞ his boyfriend asked.

❝it's just that, i'm worried if my parents won't approve me of being an author.❞ seungmin answered.

❝well, you already are an author. there's nothing else they can do.❞ felix said.

❝i know. but i'm worried if they won't allow me to publish this and continue being an author.❞ seungmin explained.

❝then don't tell them about it.❞ felix replied.

❝felix...❞ seungmin said with a worried face, and stroke felix's pink hair gently.

❝what is it?❞ felix asked.

❝are you having problems with your parents?❞ seungmin asked back.

with that single question from seungmin, felix's face turned blank.

❝yeah.❞ felix answered truthfully. ❝since twelve, i became mature realized that they don't give any interest in their son. they don't care about me. they never talk to me, so i never talk to them back.❞

❝did they really never talked to you?❞ seungmin asked.

felix went blank again.

❝tell me, what did they told you?❞ seungmin asked again.

❝yes, they talked to me. but when everything's already a mess, when it's late.❞ felix answered. ❝they'll ask "why don't you tell us how was your day?" "talk to us bud" "are you doing fine". they also know the answer to those questions.❞

❝felix, i─❞

❝why is the topic suddenly about me? we were talking to you, dandy boy.❞ felix said.

❝before that, you can talk to me if you need anything including advice. my advice to you is to talk to them, at least once. before you're too late, or you'll be just like them. call them today, or soon, as long as it's not late.❞ seungmin said.

felix nodded.

❝i will tell my parents. but these voices inside my head, they're telling me that my books suck, that my parents won't appreciate something i love, and that my legacy of writing "the plot" series will be erased.❞ seungmin said, ❝so right now, i need someone to tell me that what i'm doing is right.❞

❝what you're doing, which is writing these masterpieces. but that doesn't mean you can just neglect your studies, especially that the finals are near.❞ felix replied

❝since when do you care about me studying?❞ seungmin asked.

❝because... i want you to become an intellegent person as you always be.❞ felix said.

seungmin looks at felix with sharp eyes, which looks like he's going to murder the older if he doesn't tell the truth.

❝it's because i also need you to help me with studying too. c'mon, share some of your knowledge. you're my boyfriend, and you're also handsome and cute~❞ felix said.

❝really? do you only like me because of that?❞ seungmin asked.

❝no, no. don't take it wrongly. i like you as a whole kim seungmin-ah.❞ felix explained.

suddenly, seungmin burst into laughter. who knew felix can look funny and act cowardly.

❝i was just acting felix-ah. the cocky lee felix can be a coward too, huh?❞ seungmin teased.

❝seungmin! you did this for what? why did you fool me?❞ felix asked.

❝nothing, i just don't want the atmosphere to get so tense and serious. sometimes, people need a good laugh.❞ seungmin answered.

❝who taught you that?❞ felix asked again.

❝you.❞ seungmin answered and pecks the older's lips gently.

seungmin phone rings, it's his mom calling him. seungmin answers the phone call.

❝hi dad.❞ seungmin said.

❝hi seungmin-ah, we're back.❞ his mom said.

❝oh, i'll─❞

❝we're at the carnival.❞

❝w-what? why?❞ seungmin asked.

❝we want you to have fun in life, and we would be so proud just to see you smile.❞ his mom answered.

❝i'm coming.❞ seungmin said.

❝take as much time as you want. we'll wait, don't worry.❞ his mom said then hang up the phone.

while seungmin's calling his mom, felix decides to go to the balcony and calls his dad.

❝hi dad.❞ felix said.

❝hi, son. i miss you.❞ his dad replied.

❝i miss you too, and i've been wondering if you and mom can come here so we can talk. it's been a while, isn't it?❞ felix said.

❝we thought the same too. look down.❞ his dad said.

felix did as what he said, and there they are, his parents.
