6 years later

Byeongkwan POV

'I and Jun have become like actual best friends. We do everything together. Go out to eat, dance, study. Like seriously everything. We are both 14, almost going to high school. We have so many things to talk about. We'll be friends forever I swear.'
"Kwaanniee, are you done yet? " Jun whined. I sighed an turned around. "Don't huff at me. I want to talk, but you always have your head in that diary"
Jun is always like this, but I can't blame him gossiping can get a little too fun.

"Well I got some for you, someone said they found an old picture of the history teacher."
There was a pause.
"Okay Kwan what about it"
"They said she looked like the princess in Spongebob, what's her name"

"You mean Princess Mindy" there was another pause before we both started laughing. And when I finally found the picture  we seriously couldn't breath. This woman really liked like Princess Mindy.

"Kwan. Please. Make it stop. It hurts" Jun was already crying at this point. And we were both laughing so hard it was getting hard to breath for real. When we finally stop laughing I asked,

"Junnie are you gonna go to my Gymnasics Competition? This is the finals and I really want you to be there to see me." Jun crawled up from the floor and came to hug my legs. "Kwan you'll do fine and don't give that look, of course, I'll come and so will my dad and your parents. We all support you. Seriously if I didn't care I wouldn't be here." This is really what I live for. 

"I'm thinking about telling my dad, that I'm gay byeongkwan." His words took me by surprise. As I didn't say anything he hugged my legs tighter. I combed my fingers through his hair. "Kwannie I'm scared what if he..."

"Junhee nothing bad would happen I swear to you he'll accept you." But, I understand his fear. I've told Junhee that I was gay and I didn't know how to tell my parents. Ji-nonna found out by accident, but we be came really close after and she helps us out.

3rd Person POV

Jiyeon knocked at the door before poking her head through. When she saw the boys she set down their lunch on the table before going to hug the two. To Byeongkwan she was like an older sister teasing him, playing with him giving him advice. However, to Junhee Jiyeon was like a mother to him. He had never seen his mother before, and his dad never spoke of her. Jiyeon was always there and she felt like a mother to him.

"Boys, what's wrong? Do you need anything," Jiyeon asked Byeongkwan told her what Junhee said and she sighed and sat down on the floor in front of Junhee holding his knees.

"Junhee, I want you to remember that you are beautiful just the way you are, Okay. Now who cares if anyone else in the world doesn't like you. We love you, and your dad loves you, and even Byeongkwan's parents love you too. As long as you love yourself nothing else matters. And believe me your dad will always love you."

Jiyeon's words were always what the boys needed to hear. Junhee moved over to cry into Jiyeon's arms. Byeongkwan was trapped inhis own head as Jiyeon's words were true and he wanted to get over this fear. He was scared of practically nothing, however he was only scared of having his parents not support him. His parents support the things he does like his dancing and gymnastics but he was just scared of this one thing. He would tell them. He would tell his parents the day of his championship finals. 

[Two weeks later]

As Jiyeon and Byeongkwan thought Mr. Park was perfectly sound with his son being gay. So Junhee was relived and happy and Byeogkwan the same for him. Today was the day of the championship and Byeongkwan was on edge.

"Kwan you'll do fine, I've watched you practice your routine over and over. And you practically do it in your sleep." Junhee spoke with confidence, "Who cares if you mess up, we are all still here. You can to better than anyone I swear Kwan" all that was said was exactly what Byeongkwan needed to hear. He got him self dressed and was ready to put on the best performance he ever has before. 

[End of the championships]

Results of all judges are in and we will begin announcing the winners. In 3rd place we have Busan's Park Jimin" the announcer pauses for applauds, "And second and first were neck and neck with only a single point difference. In second place we have..." Junhee and Jiyeon were holding onto each other for dear life holding their breath. and Byeongkwan felt as if his heart was going top burst out of his chest. "All the way from China, Wenzhou's Dong Si Cheng" Another round of applauds erupt. "finally in first place we have Seoul's Kim Byeongkwan" and the applauds erupt once more. Byeongkwan turns around to his friends and family with a large smile on his face. To Byeongkwan it looked as if they were more excited than he was Junhee and Jiyeon were full on crying and hugging each other while their parents just laughed.

He turns around to walk to the podium stage and sees Jimin comforting Si Cheng.

Byeongkwan's POV

I crouched down beside them both, "Hey, Dong Si Cheng, right?" he nodded slightly "What's wrong?"

"He said he wanted his family to be here for him" Jimin spoke quietly, "But, I don't think that they could make it"

"Your parents supported you enough to send you here, right? Though they werem't here they supported you enough to allow you to continue doing this. And, you even put on a beautiful performance to place on the podium. We're practically the best in all of Asia!" I sat down between Jimin and Si Cheng and hugged them. I looked at both of their faces and they were both smiling, Si Cheng was wiping the tears from his face.

"Yeah no one can stop us . We're the best in the world!" Jimin cheered jumping up with his arms in the air. I pulled up Si Cheng to stand. 

"We should take a picture together, and we'll be friends for like forever!" Jimin said and pulled out his phone. And took a few pictures together. After we exchanged numbers and Si Cheng spoke.

"Uhh... y-you guys can c-call me... Winwin... It's my nickname"

"There's no need to be shy Win were friends right?" Jimin said. Winwin nodded with a full smile. Aftere we got our awards we split off in our separate directions.

"Kwan, Kwannie hurry up were going out to go eat. Hurry up I'm hungry Kwan" Junhee said pulling my arm towards the parking lot. I smiled and let my self be dragged towards the car.

"We'll get there first, dad come on we have to beat Kwan" Junhee said and ran off with his dad. "You make it hard to remember that you're 14 Junhee" his dad said following him.

I sighed and turned around to my parents. Today's the day I tell them. I began to fiddle with my fingers. "Mama, Pa I have something to tell you. I'm sorry if this isn't what you want" My voice was getting shaky, "I'm gay." I closed my eyes and waited for the dreaded reaction. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to look up and only see my father smiling. I gave a confused look.

"Kim Byeongkwan, don't be scared." My mom said and hugged me "Its okay we accept you the way you are, honey" I cried into her arms and my dad joined our hug. after a few moments we hear a yell.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this beautiful moment, but WE HAVE A STARVING CHILD HERE" We laughed at Junhee's words and headed to the car.

3rd Person POV 

Byeongkwan and his family head out of the parking lot after Junhee and his dad. As the Kim's were stopped a large truck swerved across the lanes and hit the Kim's dead on. Mr. Kim suffered minor injuries of a broken arm and Byeongkwan minor injuries of a sprained wrist and scratches. However Mrs. Kim suffered hip dislocation, internal leading and head trauma that would put her in a coma.

[Hours Later]

Mr. Kim and Mr. Park sat close talking to each other quietly. Junhee was by Byeongkwan's side comforting him and hugging him. 

7:46 P.M. April 16th, 2010  Kim Da Hee was pronounced dead. And it was the first day Byeongkwan's life turned upside down.
