The way they look at us

Description

Right now, Kibum could almost feel the contempt in the glares people sent them as they caught sight of their entwined fingers.

Foreword

Kibum was a bit jealous of Jonghyun, he had to admit it: his boyfriend's parents were really open-minded and had known that their son was gay even before he did. But his own parents weren't that open-minded. They weren't homophobic either but he was terrified to tell them that he was dating a boy, the one they only knew as his best friend. He was afraid of their reaction, afraid to hear that he was a bad son, afraid that his mom would eventually think that she hadn't been a good mother enough. It was not her fault though, nor his father's nor his own.

 

[I had the idea for this one-shot while I was thinking over a lot of things... I think that I think too much.]

Chapter 1: This story was amazing, it actually made me cry, that doesn't happen often.
I love how you show all the different sides of the problem, how Jonghyun who has an accepting family struggles with having to hide his relationship. How it makes him insecure and how he starts to question when he is allowed to affectionate with his boyfriend. And also how the secrecy impacts Kibum who can't tell his family at all and only have his friends, his boyfriend and his family supporting him. That and Kibum being judged so rashly by society because he doesn't fit within his gender role. I love how the story shows these everyday life problems, and instead of having a very tragic or unnaturally optimistic ending we get this shimmer of hope from the mother teaching her young daughter the way of life the way every parent should. Thank you so much for writing and posting this, I loved it!
