^ if you can hear this picture i love you

"mom"

"were you two... kissing!?" she is still in shock, they both stay silent and don't answer.

"answer me!" they both nod.

"mom... we're... dating"

"you two are... you... you're gay too?" she looks at jisung who nods and looks down.

"why didn't you tell us!?"

"we thought you'd try and split us up or you'd be against it and you'll—" she cuts minho off.

"so you decided to still date even though you're step brothers!?"

"it just happened..." jisung says.

"you both have nerve! how long were you going to keep this from us? were you just going to tell us one day and we would be okay with it!?"

"what's going on everyone's waiting" jennie comes in with hyunjin behind and sees the tension.

"did she find out?" jisung nods and looks down again.

"you two knew!?" she looks at jennie who nods.

"what about your dad?" she looks at minho who looks down and nods which she gasps.

"your dad knew!?"

"what's going on!?" taekyo comes in and jisung turns to worry and fear now that his dad will find out.

"our sons are dating!" she crosses her arms. "and they didn't tell us!"

"what!?" he looks at them, then gets closer to jisung. "you're gay!?"

"dad... I..."

"you both thought it was okay to keep this from us!?" he looks at the both of them and they both don't respond.

"did you two know!?" he looks at jennie and hyunjin who nod.

"so that's what you were hiding then!?" he crosses his arms and looks back at jisung who nods.

"I'm sorry" he lets out softly as he doesn't know what else to say in this situation because he's scared of his dad.

"why didn't you tell us!?"

"because we didn't want you to find out and split us up or stop us from being together or—"

"well you're right, you both march your way out there because this wedding is still happening. we'll talk more about this later" he leaves the room and youngmin follows.

"I shouldn't have come..." minho says. "I should've stayed at home"

"hey you didn't know this would happen" jisung looks at him.

"well it's not too late to leave, I'll call you okay?" minho kisses jisung's cheek and makes his way out of the wedding by making it past the ceremony and leaving the doors.

when he goes back home, he looks at his dad in sadness.

"what happened?"

"they found out..." minho has tears in his eyes as he speaks to his dad. "I shouldn't have went... I should've just stayed here and not gotten into mom's life again"

"how did they react?"

"they were angry, but... I feel bad that I left jisung there... I hope he's okay"

there's a knock at the door and when minho goes to answer it he looks in shock as it's jisung.

"jisung" he doesn't say anything, he just hugs minho.

"I had to leave too! I couldn't be there!" he sounded like he was going to cry, and minho let him.

...

as the ceremony starts, jennie and hyunjin are the ones who walk down the aisle, not minho and jisung.

"where are they!?" taekyo looks at them in anger.

"they left" jennie says. "they couldn't be in the wedding when you guys were angry with them, they were upset"

youngmin walks down the aisle and the wedding seems to go on like normal.

"where are they!?" she looks at taekyo as she arrives next to him.

"they left"

"we are gathered here today to bring han taekyo and kim youngmin into holy matrimony, before we begin is there anyone who objects to this marriage?"

jennie and hyunjin were about to raise their hands until taekyo gives them a glare, they then put their hands down.

everyone gasps when youngmin puts her hand up.

"I'm sorry taekyo but I can't..."

"why not?"

"because of us my son isn't happy... I can't see him hurt more than he is, when his dad left my heart broke when I saw him the way he was... I can't go through that again I just can't"

"we can figure this out youngmin, I promise" he holds her hand and she shakes her head as tears build in her eyes.

"I love you, but I love my son more. I can't marry you..."

"is it because of him and jisung?"

"no, well it partly is... but it's much more than that... minho hasn't had much... he's done so many things for me but now I want to do something for him and make him happy... I hope you can see the same way for jisung... if you love him... you won't marry me"

"but we've done so much—"

"we also rushed this taekyo! I mean... we don't know that much about each other... what's my favorite beverage? or what are my hobbies?"

"your silence means that you don't know, this was rushed... and I don't want to marry you because what if one day we find someone who knows everything about us when we know nothing about each other?"

"it's because of him isn't it?"

"who?"

"jeongpyo"

"no not at all... it's everything... I'm sorry" she kisses his cheek. "goodbye taekyo"

she walks out of the chapel and hyunjin smiles before taking out his phone to call jisung and tell him everything.
