as jisung hears the slander from his parents, the slamming at the door doesn't stop them from continuing.

then he hears his name being called out.

"minho!?" jisung looks out his window to see minho wasn't there, so it has to be him.

"shut up you annoying brat!" his dad slaps him.

"you're the annoying ones! just fuck off!" jisung pushes his parents away as he runs downstairs to the front door to see minho.

"minho!?"

"jisung!"

minho looks down and puts his hand out for jisung to take. before their hands touch, jisung gets pulled away by his parents.

"minho!"

"jisung!" minho tries to go in, but his mom pushes him out.

"mom don't touch him! leave him alone!" jisung had tears in his eyes as his parents start to get to him.

"shut up!" she looks at him.

"jisung!" minho tries to go inside, but she pushes him again.

"I said leave him alone!" jisung tries his hardest to get out of his dad's grip but it was no use.

"minho! get your ass back inside!" his mom pulls him away.

"jisung!"

"minho!"

the two yell out each other's names for a long time until they both were back inside their houses.

minho's mom throws him on his bed.

"are you crazy minho!? why the hell did you do that!? you're still quarantining you can't just leave when you want to! your doctor—"

"I couldn't just stand there and watch jisung get abused"

"I know, but you can't do that you—"

"I know I know! I know the disease could spread! but I also couldn't just not do anything when jisung suffers like that"

she sits down on the bed next to him.

"I know... I'm sorry... I just worry about you... I've always been worried about you because you haven't been yourself since your dad left... when you befriended jisung I saw my son again... the kindhearted... and adorable minho"

"I'm sorry... I just..."

"I know you like him but you need to think of yourself too"

"yeah I guess so"

"but... the good thing that came out of this was... it seems jisung likes you too" minho looks at her.

"what?"

"he came down to you so quick, he kept yelling out your name like you did"

minho lays back on his bed.

"I've never felt this way mom what do I do?"

"tell him your feelings! you never know things could happen when you're out of here" she smiles through the mask, minho sits up when he sees jisung looking across.

"jisung!" he grabs a piece of paper, but jisung beats him to a plane.

minho!

jisung!

I'm sorry about that

don't apologize

I have to I just don't want anything happening to you

it's okay really, I'm fine

you do care about me though!

no I don't

oh really!? you can deny it now! I now saw that you do care!

fine

haha!

they both laugh.

"I'll let you two be, goodnight honey" she leaves his room.

I think I'll finally tell you the rumor that's true about me

really!? which one is it!?

the one that I'm gay

really?

yeah, that's why my dad left

no it isn't

it is, the night he left was the same day that I came out to him he must have been disappointed in me

that's why you said he hates you

yeah

well I don't

yeah?

the complete opposite

they both look at each other through the window, minho looks at the plane that's on his desk and he decides to finally throw it to jisung.

I like you jisung :] we met only a week ago but now suddenly I care about you more than anything in the world
