Chapter 18: Summer Surprise

Being In Love

"I can't believe this will be the last time, we're all together," Moonbyul said as she pretended to wipe a tear.


Yongsun rolled her eyes. "We still have summer,"

"I meant being together at school."

"You'll be fine. You had been to school without me before."

"Yeah, but that was because I hadn't met you back then." 

"Okay, but what about Minhyuk? He's leaving too."

Moonbyul waved off Yongsun. "I had a year without him, so I'll be fine for a while until start to I miss him too."

"Wow, I'm feeling the love here." Minhyuk placed his hand to his heart and pretended to be hurt.

"I said I'll miss you too, it's just gonna take a while."

Minhyuk rolled his eyes in a playful manner. "I can't believe I left my friends this morning just to be disrespected by you."

"Hey, I'm not the one who made you come here."

"I... guess you're right." Minhyuk went back to watching his YouTube video, and Moonbyul went back to chat with her friends.

Yongsun was confused by the conversation between the two and was about to say something, but the bell rang. She decided it was best to keep it to herself for now and ask Moonbyul later. Wheein, Hyejin, and Minhyuk said their goodbyes before they left to their classes. Moonbyul stood next to Yongsun, extending her hand for the senior to take.

"Ready for your last day?"

Yongsun smirked and took Moonbyul's hand. "Yeah."

The two intertwined their fingers and together walked towards their first-hour class one last time together.
 



"Finally! Summer has arrived!" Wheein yelled as she laid atop the donut pool float in the pool.

School finally ended just yesterday, which meant the four girls could finally take advantage of the summer they had until the oldest of the group, Yongsun, left for college. The four started their first day of summer by using the pool at Wheein's house as today was an especially hot day. Wheein and Moonbyul were both in the pool, with Wheein floating in her pool float and Moonbyul swimming around. Both Yongsun and Hyejin were laying back on the outdoor chaise lounge chairs which were underneath an outdoor umbrella.


"Come on you two, join me on flipping Wheein off her donut," Moonbyul whined as she swarmed towards them.

"Hey! Don't you guys dare." Wheein yelled and Moonbyul laughed.

 

She wasn't really planning to flip her Wheepup, but being in the pool by herself wasn't all too fun and she wanted someone to play with her. Specifically, a certain sun of hers.


"I'm trying to get a tan," Hyejin said as she laid in bed with her shades on.

Moonbyul looked at Yongsun with puppy eyes. "Yong, please."

"I don't want to go to the water just yet."

Moonbyul pouted sadly as she turned around. "Fine."

She thought maybe Yongsun would agree, but when Yongsun said something then there was no changing it unless she does so herself. Moonbyul was slowly swimming away until an idea came to mind and she quickly swam back to Yongsun and Hyejin. "If you're not going to join me, then can I at least have a kiss?"

"I'm not dumb. You're just saying that to push me in when I get close enough."

"What? No, I won't, I promise."

Yongsun raised an eyebrow. "I don't know."

"I promise," Moonbyul said, making a promising gesture to convince the graduate.

Yongsun thought about the situation and gave in. "Okay, fine." Yongsun got up and walked to the upcoming senior.

Yongsun kneeled down to give her girlfriend a peck and once she finished, she was quickly splashed on the face. "Moonbyul!"

Moonbyul smiled at Yongsun cheekily. "At least I didn't pull you into the water. Also, that's what you at least get for not going into the water with me."

 

"I said I didn't want to get wet."

 

"It's just a splash. At least I didn't pull you into the water."

"Watch me get in the water and whoop your ." Yongsun threatened and jumped into the pool. As soon as Yongsun entered the pool, Moonbyul swore the pool got hotter.

"Ah . I thought you didn't want to get wet." Moonbyul swam as fast as she could from her infuriated girlfriend, who was catching up to her.

 

"I don't mind getting wet, if I'm going to beat you up."

Moonbyul reached the donut floaties Wheein was on and quickly hid behind it. Yongsun and Moonbyul started to swim around the donut.

"Hey, don't use me as a shield," Wheein yelled.

"Sorry Wheepup, but I don't want to die today."

The two swam around the donut for about five times until Yongsun finally caught Moonbyul by ducking under the donut and grabbing the girl. However, when she grabbed Moonbyul, she fully forgot why she was chasing her in the first place.

"Why am I chasing you?"

"Cause... you wanted to give me affection?"

"No, that's not it."

"Cause she splashed your face when you kissed her," Hyejin yelled from across the pool.

"That's the one. Thanks, Hyejin."

"Hyejin, I trusted you."

Yongsun then proceeded to bombard Moonbyul with splashes of water.

"That's what you get for saying that you wanted to push Wheein off her donut."

Wheein outstretched her arm as she pointed to Hyejin. "Thanks for having my back."

"You know I always got your back."

As Wheesa were having their moment, Moonbyul begged for forgiveness from her girlfriend. It was clearly being ignored as Yongsun didn't stop her action until four minutes later since her arms got tired.

 



A few days later, Yongsun and Moonbyul decided to have a movie night. They haven't had a date in a while and decided to just watch a movie together at Yongsun's house. Yongsun chose the movie, which Moonbyul regretted as it was a horror movie named Saw II. After a few minutes into the movie, the bell to Yongsun's door rang, and the two looked at each other confused as they weren't expecting visitors. Wheesa decided to go on their own little date with each other, so it couldn't be those two unless they decided to have dinner at Yongsun's house again.

The bell rang again and Jjingjjing started to bark after being woken up, so Yongsun hesitantly stood up and walked to the door with Moonbyul following closely behind her. Yongsun grasped onto the door and turned to Moonbyul. Moonbyul nodded silently as she held onto the bowl of popcorn. Yongsun was about to question the girl's choice of weapon or defense, but shook her head instead.

Yongsun turned the knob and slowly opened the door. They looked in anticipation until they got a glimpse of the person at the door. Once a slight glimpse of the person was shown, Yongsun couldn't help but fling the door open as she went to give the intruder a big hug.

"Woah, someone missed me," Yonghee said as she reciprocated the hug and patted her sister's back.

"Of course I would! It's been three years since I last saw you face to face."

Yonghee chuckled lightly as she patted her younger sister's head. "I guess you're right."

Moonbyul felt like she was intruding on an important sister moment and tried to shuffle away back into the living room where the movie date was taking place. However, Yonghee noticed the person stepping away from them and looked up to make contact with the silver-haired girl in front of her.

"Are you the famous Moonbyul I've heard so much about?"

"I am." Moonbyul held her hand out for the older girl to take. "And you must be Yonghee, Yongsun's sister."

Yonghee took Moonbyul's hand and shook it. "I am." She then whispered to Yongsun, "I like her."

"I do too," Yongsun whispered back and Yonghee couldn't help but laugh.

"So are mom and dad home and is Moonbyul going to stay for dinner?"

"Mom and dad aren't home yet and n-"

"Yes, I am staying for dinner tonight." Moonbyul interrupted.

Yongsun was surprised by her girlfriend's response.

"Okay. You two can watch your movie now, I'll just wait for mom and dad in my old room." Yonghee then went upstairs carrying the luggage she had in one hand.

Once Yonghee left, Yongsun went and questioned Moonbyul's previous answer. "Why did you say yes for dinner?"

"It's your sister, I have to make a good impression," Moonbyul responded.

"Staying for dinner is not making a good impression."

"If I don't stay, she might think I don't love you enough."

"She knows how much you care about me though."

Moonbyul then held onto Yongsun's shoulders. "You won't understand, 'cause you're the youngest, but she's testing me and staying for dinner was the first trial."

Yongsun rolled her eyes. "I don't think she's doing any testing on you."

"Then how about after dinner we ask her. The winner gets bragging rights and a kiss."

Yongsun became interested once a competition prize was on the table. "Hmmm, I guess I can do that."

"Good, cause if I win, I want it in front of your sister." Moonbyul cheekily said.

"If that's what you want, then I better win. Now let's go back to our movie, Saw two isn't gonna finish itself."

The two then went back to the movie they were about to watch until Yongsun's parents came home. They were surprised when they were told Moonbyul was gonna stay for dinner, but Mrs. Kim was able to add another dish for the silver-haired girl.

The dinner table was quiet with the few chats about how their days were until Yonghee decided now was a good time to question the date. However, Yonghee had to plan her words carefully as she knew Yongsun hadn't come out to their parents yet.

"So Moonbyul, what are your hobbies?"

Moonbyul was surprised by the sudden question, but she was ready. "Oh, well I like playing games, taking pictures, and working out."

"Hmmm, okay. What pictures do you take?"

"Oh, you know. My friends, family, people I love and care about."

Yonghee leaned back into her chair. "Good to know."

Mr. and Mrs. Kim watched with confusion written on their faces as Yonghee asked Moonbyul questions. The conversation between the two felt like an interrogation room and it confuses why Yonghee would ask this many questions to a friend of Yongsun.

Mrs. Kim clapped her hands to get their attention. "How about you two finish your conversation while you wash the dishes?"

"Okay, mom. Let's go Moonbyul."

"I'll go too. The more hands, the better." Yongsun said.

Yonghee and Moonbyul didn't protest and so the three went to wash the dishes. The questioning didn't stop, but this time Yonghee could ask Moonbyul the more important questions without her parents knowing.

"So did you take my sister anywhere for dates?"

"Yeah, I took her to the park for a picnic and we went out for movies."

"oOoOO romantic."

"Hey big Yong, are you testing Moonbyul or something? You're asking a lot of questions." Yongsun asked. She was kind of tired by the constant questions as she rarely got to talk to Moonbyul.

"Of course I am, gotta make sure the girl is perfect for you."

"Ha! I told you. Come here and give me a kiss." Moonbyul then pulled Yongsun to a kiss.

"Moonbyul no, your hands are still covered in soap!"

"Don't resist."

Yongsun tried to pull the younger girl away, but to no avail, as she was pulled into a quick kiss by soapy hands. Once the kiss was over, Yongsun slapped Moonbyul's shoulder as the girl was having a laughing fit.

"You , my shirt is wet and soapy now."

"Sorry, I got too excited." Moonbyul apologized through her laugh.

"I really like her. She has the same humor as me." Yonghee commented.

"Ugh." Yongsun hated this, but she was at least happy her sister and Moonbyul got along just well.

A few hours later and Moonbyul had to go back home, so she said her goodbyes to the Kim family as she left. Once Yongsun closed the door, she sighed as she already missed the presence of her girlfriend and a thought came to mind that made her slightly upset.

Yonghee noticed Yongsun's frown and wrapped her arm around her baby sister's shoulder.

"It's alright, I told you I liked her."

"I know you do, but something else is bothering me."

"Oh? What's that?"

"I feel bad hiding my relationship with Moon yule confront of mom and dad, but I'm just scared that I'll lose them."

"I....," Yonghee was saddened by Yongsun's thought and had to say her words carefully. "I don't know what it's like to be in your situation, but if I know mom and dad enough, I think they're love for you is enough for them to accept who you are."

Yongsun started to tear up. "How do you know that?"

"I don't know. But I know that I'll love you no matter what if they don't. You also have your friends and loving girlfriend who love you too."

Yongsun couldn't help but chuckle a little by Yonghee's last response about Moonbyul. She knew she had all those things, but the thought of losing her parents always scared her. Yonghee still saw Yongsun's uneasiness.

"How about this. We ask them how they'll feel and depending on how they react, you can come out to them when you're ready. Okay?"

Yongsun liked that idea and nodded slowly as she wiped her tears.

"Okay. Now let's get you to bed too."

Yonghee pulled her sister into a hug and walked her off to her room upstairs.
 



It was morning and the Kim family was eating breakfast together. They ate in silence for a couple of minutes until Yonghee decided to ask her parents a very important question.

"Hey, mom and dad."

"Yes, dear?" Mrs. Kim spoke.

Mr. Kim didn't say anything, but Yonghee knew he was giving her his full attention.

"Do you, ummm..." Yonghee hoped they didn't get the wrong impression by her asking this question as it was more for Yongsun than her. "How would you feel if one of us liked women?"

 

"What do you mean by like, cause we wouldn't mind if you like-"

 

"I mean as in dating women?" Yonghee added in. Interrupting her mom.
Mr. and Mrs. Kim were surprised by Yonghee's question and looked at each other.

"Oh. Well, ummm... well, we would like it better if you both like men." Mrs. Kim answered.

When Yongsun heard that, she couldn't help but look at her food in shame. She kind of expected this answer from them, but hearing it herself kind of hurt. Mr. and Mrs. Kim noticed their youngest daughter's change of mood, and that's when it clicked for them. They now realize the reason for Yonghee's interrogation to Moonbyul last night, and it made them understand why the junior always came to their house a lot.

If they were being honest, they never wanted her daughters to love a woman as they both feared the world hating them for who they love. They never realized how harmful their thinking was to their youngest and felt shame when they noticed the pain they caused upon her and how alone she must have felt for hiding something about herself that she shouldn't have in the first place. They needed to fix this, and fast.

 

"But we wouldn't be against either of you liking woman and will love you both no matter what." Mr. Kim added.


Those words made Yongsun relieved a little. She didn't know she was tearing up until her mother placed a hand onto her shoulder and looked at her with the most loving smile she remembered seeing as a kid.

"We'll wait when you're ready to tell us anything." Mrs. Kim then pulled her daughter in for a hug, and Yongsun couldn't stop her tears anymore.

"I- I have something to tell you."

"And what's that?"

Yongsun hesitated before answering. "I'm... I'm gay."

 

Mrs. Kim's smile grew even more. "Thank you for telling us. Just know that we will support you no matter what."

It was like a weight off her shoulders once Yongsun said those words. She was scared of how her parents will react and decided to not tell them ever, but that all changed when she met Moonbyul. After that, she wanted to tell her parents but was hesitant and she was always sad about not being able to be herself in front of her parents the way Moonbyul was with her own. She even felt guilty for making Moonbyul hide a part of her from her parents and nothing the junior did made her feel better, but she was happy finally being out to her parents. She wondered if Moonbyul felt this way when she came out to her own family. Having her parents' support made her feel loved and couldn't wait to introduce the two of them to Moonbyul as her girlfriend.

"So when are we going to see Moonbyul again?" Mrs. Kim said with a smirk on her face.

Yongsun's eyes widened. Maybe they already know what's up between the two of them. She blames the interrogation Yonghee did last night.
