2:10 P.M.

"When's she coming?",Junghee shifts beside me, passing along the kitchen counter,breathing nervously as she gulps down a glass of water."She'd be here any minute. Don't worry.",I take a glimpse of her face vexed in worry and fear imprinted all over her face. It's normal to be comprehensive about our parents' reaction but I just want them to show how supportive they can be. The ringtone of the doorbell echoes in the hall so I stare out of the window. Once I know it's the girl we were expecting, I turn to junghee to level my eyes with her."I'll tell her. You should call mom and dad now. Relax okay? There's nothing to be scared of. It's going to go well and they will hear you.",No matter how much I attempt to boost her confidence, I know there exists a difference between support from your friends or society and your parents, and I can clearly see how their validation is important for her.

She nods at me and steps across the hall to walk towards their room so I motion to let y/n in."Hey.",She greets me with her cheerful smile and for a second, I feel all the suffocation leaving my chest."Hey. Come on in.",We head towards the hall since I've already told her about the conversation we're going to have with our parents about my sister. She insisted on having y/n present with us since they're really close and she has helped her a lot to reach and accept the truth about her.

"So,are you nervous?",she questions after taking a seat on the sofa across from mine, to my disappointment."What?",I need her to repeat her question, not because I didn't hear but because she caught the whiff of my emotions."I thought you must be nervous. I know it's her who's telling your parents about herself but you must be nervous about everything going well....or not.",She nibbles on her lips, feeling that she has offended me when I just need a few seconds to recollect my thoughts. I look at her prancing her eyes down in her lap, her pink cardigan making her look adorable like a baby.

For some reason, I feel more attached and protective of her after what happened with Joonsu and our discussion at the mall. Since I know this feeling is mutual from the way she reacts to my words and touches, I can't help the need to bare my emotions with her.

"Come here.",I tap the empty space beside me and she peeks to take a glance before leaving her seat to join me. I close the space between our bodies to have her against me, causing her to put her eyes on me."I won't lie to you.",I lick my lips,"I'm fucking nervous.",she grins at my words but I don't feel embarrassed to reveal my other side."I know they're gonna be okay because they're the best parents we can ever get but I just want this to go well for her. I want her to know that we will support her no matter what and this won't change the love we have for her.",I don't avoid pouring my heart out after acting like a strong brother to junghee earlier and look at her as she smiles gently at me before sliding her small hand under mine, the other hand wrapping around the back of my palm to give it a squeeze,this sweet gesture instantly relaxes me and makes me squeeze her hand.

"It's okay. You're allowed to be nervous. Honestly, it would've been weird if you weren't. This means you care a lot about her and also proves my point, that you're a good brother.",She pacifies me using sincere words,making my nerves relax and my heartbeat calm. My gaze drifts down to her hands holding my manly one and switches to her face as she blinks tentatively, sitting in silence. There's no necessary reason for me to vent my feelings when I've never done it in her presence but she exudes the positivity and warmth which makes everybody around her feel secure and happy and I'm slowly starting to realise why my sister confided in her.

"That felt assuring. Now I won't have to sit here and act normal when I'm going crazy in my head.",I signal my eyes towards my parent's house as they still haven't gathered in the hall."Good. You looked like you could puke any time.",She ridicules me like a naughty brat, just seconds after being so sweet to me and leaves my hand to escape, well aware that I'm not going to let her go after the tease she threw at me but I grip her wrist to swirl her back and land on my lap. The sound of the door gliding distracts us, giving her a chance to dodge the trouble she caused for herself and she wrings her arm free to get on the couch which she occupied earlier.

"Oh, y/n. You're here too.",My mom smiles affectionately at her so she returns the smile and greets my parents politely as they take the seats to initiate the conversation."Yeah, I wanted her to talk with me. She's been a great friend to me and I didn't want to do this without her.",Junghee shows her fondness for her, her eyes wandering to meet hers and both of them exchange glances as y/n nods at her to motivate her.

"What's wrong, sweetie? Is something bothering you?",Dad surges in her direction, concerned about her and looks at me for a hint. I return the glance but choose not to say anything since this is her space to speak.

"No, dad. It's just something I realised after thinking a lot over the past few weeks and discussing my feelings with y/n and jungkook. I thought maybe it's all in my head or it's just temporary feelings that might be simply admiring somebody or wishing you were their friend but I think it's a lot more than that. I wasn't afraid to accept my feelings but I was scared that those might disappear after a little while and I'd be wrong but I'm not.",She finally breathes and gulps down lungful of air, exhaling deeply. I watch her hands fiddling nervously as she sits in silence which nobody dares to break. Without any second thought, my hand scoots to hold her and I give a gentle squeeze, showing my support and care. She perceives my message and licks her lips to say the words.

"I'm bisexual. I'm not saying this just because I'm attracted to an actress or some idol. I'm saying this because I know I can be romantically attracted to females and I realised that after I started liking a friend of mine.We're not together but I feel for her. A lot.",She puts a brave confession in light and her eyes squint between our parents to see their reaction. There's a moment of silence which causes the air between us to become heavy. My heart already pounds in my chest and I can't even imagine what she must be feeling. I look at my parents to end this uneasiness and notice dad's lips breaking into a smile.

"Oh, sweetie. Come here, give me a hug.",Mom engulfs her in an embrace, hugging her tightly so she knows the love she holds for her. "We're so proud of you,honey.",She rubs her back, her neck craned on her daughter's shoulder as she makes sure to show her support and care. I watch dad holding her in a clasp, his eyes fluttering shut and there is a glimmer in them when he adjusts his glasses, letting me know he's emotional."I'm sorry that we made you take so long to share this with us but we love you and we're so happy to know this. It must've taken a lot of courage to accept your feelings and figure this out.",He never fails to make me proud of him and chooses the perfect words to make her feel validated.

"No, I told you guys when I realised it. Thank you so much. I love you both so much.",She bounces on them, chuckling in happiness and I enjoy this moment, standing beside y/n and my gaze automatically deviates to her. She looks at them with a genuine smile on her lips but her eyes show a different mixture of emotions, throwing me off in confusion until it finally hits me. She is not used to being shown physical affection from her parents and this sight must've caused discomfort in her mind.

"We accept hugs too so if you're thinking of giving us, you can spare us some too.",I knock my gaze over her so they break their hug and dad reaches for me. I feel small and safe in his arms despite my domineering height so I soak in the warmth of her embrace."You did well.",He rubs my back, filling my heart with pride and love and I smile involuntarily. I know he isn't the man to say much but his actions and words are always valuable and full of concern for us.

When we break the hug, I see my mom releasing y/n and pressing a kiss in her hair."Thank you so much for being there for junghee. I can't be more happier than knowing that it's you who she's so close to.",She treats like another precious daughter which is nothing new, considering she has found her lovable since the moment junghee brought her home for the first time. The girl in her arms rejoices, displaying an endearing emotion for my mother and relief washes over me. Perhaps it's the way our parents reacted to the news or the way y/n immerses in happiness when junghee beams at her excitedly, I take a deep breath and capture this memorable moment.

7:50 A.M.

The flavour of lollipop enriching my mouth with a sweet taste, I head towards my class, gazing at the playground to catch traces of my friends but my eyes land on a girl walking a few steps away from her. She's wearing a beige skirt with a white hoodie and a pair of Mary Janes. I double take at her headphones and bounce upon the pink colour. It's my baby. I move past people to reach her, my arm flinging around her shoulder startling her." What are you listening to?",I hug her from the side, making her body shiver in surprise but as soon as she catches my grin, I see a faint smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes landing on the candy wrapped by my lips.

"Nothing. I just didn't want people to disturb me.",She pushes her hands in the pockets of her hoodie, removing her headphones to lie on her shoulders. I take the lollipop out of my mouth to length my face near her ear, so her attention is peaked on my words. Our steps pause momentarily and her throat bobs as she breathes deeply."Am I disturbing you?",My lips brush the warm flesh of her earlobe which are visibly red when I drift apart. I like how sensitive she is to my touches and actions.

Her gaze lingers on me for a few seconds, her eyes never breaking the eye-contact which increases the tension between us and she licks her glossy lips. This nervous habit of hers is going to push me to the precipice of losing control someday and she will have to pay for it."No....why?",She directs at me but glances over my lips and switches her gaze again when I catch her sneaking a peek at my lips so I straighten my back in front of you to shield her way from going ahead."Do you want to taste it?",I refrain from saying the rest and watch her take my words in the exact same sense I wanted, something in her eyes depicting her feeble state and her cheeks turning red."The candy? ",I bring the candy for her pupils to dilate and absorb the actual reference.

"That's gross. Why would I want to exchange bacterias from your mouth when you've already tasted it?",She shrugs harshly as if she didn't just experience an avalanche in her chest from the double innuendo that my words carried and walks past me to get inside the classroom. I'm not going to lie, I love getting high off what we share between us. I don't let her escape this conversation and follow her in our first class together.

She sets her bag aside, already taking her notebook out like a good girl and props her elbows on the table, her chin slamming on the back of her palm. I quietly take my seat behind her and notice my friends bouncing in their seats with wide laughter arising from their direction.

"Oh, jungkook. You're here. Don't bother to take your books out. We still don't know when they'll call you between the class with your stuff.",Donghyun sneers at me, shading me for the unexpected call that I received before the weekend so I throw my bag in his face which he manages to dodge just in time. He's lucky I'm going to be preoccupied with this baby here."Shut the fuck up. That matter is already buried so as much as you hate it, you'd have to stare at my handsome face in all the classes you have.",I shut his loud mouth and don't bother to look at them again now that I have her to myself because of our seating schedule which our homeroom teacher insisted on, the only good deed that man has done in his life.

"It's flavour is litchi.",I deliberately announce loudly and her face shoots behind,"Just saying.", Acting nonchalantly, I don't persuade her but see her mind crawling towards me when averts her face again to align her elbow on my desk, sighing in exasperation."If you hadn't already tasted it, I'd have snatched that lollipop out of your mouth before you'd even realised it so don't tease me. I'm already mad because I forgot to buy a can.",her eyebrows knot in frustration and she glares at me to give me a warning, sulking like an adorable kitten.

"Aw, don't worry. Daddy is going to buy as many cans as you want.",I fold my arms and lean forth for her to decipher it."Why'd you say that?",She gifts a slap to my arm, her expressions telling me that I disgusted her just now."That's the worst word in the world right now. I'll probably die out of cringe if I hear it once again.",She elaborates her disliking for a word which many other girls of her age like to moan and this makes me curious.

"What? There's nothing wrong with using that. You don't know how this word is all some women moan while having sex, do you?",I test her. She can't be so innocent to not even have heard about the illicit meaning of this."No, I know. It's so weird that people have sexualised this so much that it creeps me out. You see people moaning this in porn and everything goes down the drain because it looks so fake and forced. I'd rather die than use that to address someone.",She declares what I don't believe. No other girl in her right mind I know would make this statement if she's deeply attracted to someone.

"There's no doubt about porn being fake. Nothing about that is true, the sounds, the actions, the words, the orgasm, almost everything is calculated to make it look perfect which increases our expectations to compare our experiences with that which is fucking wrong. Who in their actual mind would fuck their plumber and have sex on the same bed their brother is sleeping on? No one. But it's all about the things that turn on you, your kinks and the things that make you weak. Some people who like to roleplay or in general, like to say daddy and a lot of other words in real life situations. It's what makes things better and more pleasurable for them.",I share my opinion without offending her and she nibbles on her lips, absorbing my perspective but exudes cluelessness.

"What about you? You must have your turn ons or kinks too. Everyone has. What are yours?",I broach a topic which brings a shy blush on her face as she gives it a deep thought. Lewd images enter in my mind once again despite my control and I lick my lips to assess her face, the shape of her eyes, nose and lips, how they are so simple yet so attractive to make her look enticing at the same time.

What would turn her on and bring her on the edge of melting? Touching her sensitive spots or kissing her neck? I feel like she's a little delicate and responsive when I near myself to her waist or neck.I still remember the way she flushed in my chest after earning a kiss on her forehead and I'd do that again to see the same reaction from her.

"I don't know......I think I like it when somebody goes slow and takes time to....you know?...Kiss my neck or body.....maybe. Not body, because that'd be embarrassing but just a little bit attentive to not straight up jump for the penetration part.",Her nervousness tells me that this has happened to her once. Thanks to her goddamn mother and ex, her mind is marred with insecurity about her body when many boys would die to cherish a girl like her.I don't let her uncertainty piss me off and digest a hard breath, willing to know more.

"So you like neck-kissing. Noted. I should use that someday to shut you up.",Her eyes widen at me, perplexed in shock but she moves her gaze down to not face me anymore when I have a lot more to say."But your body should also be kissed. A lot. In fact, more than normal.",I draw myself close to her for her eyes to dive right into mine."Is there someone who made you feel otherwise?",I wait for her to deny because her nod is only going to make it worse for the jerk who ruined it for her but she nods at me.

"Alright, you two. Back to earth."Mr.Park disrupts our conversation with his annoying voice that irks the hell out of me. Y/n straightens her back to move her face opposite to me so I can't comprehend her reaction but I'm sure I sensed pain in her eyes. This isn't going to do. Now that I already know someone is responsible for her messed-up view about herself, I can't sit and think straight. I sweep my tongue inside my cheek, taking the chance of our teacher's focus on the screen on the wall and leap forth to have my face in her nape so she's able to hear me."We need to talk about this. Let's go to my house after school.",I wait for her to respond and her little "okay" mumbled in a hasty breath does the job for me.
