"hansol i'm nervous" seungkwan said towards his boyfriend while they were leaving the airport as they just arrived in new york to meet hansol's parents for the first time again after a few years.
                          
"you don't have to be scared, boo. you're with me. if they don't like this relationship we have, we can just leave. i already left home and i won't think twice to leave again. i don't care what they say. if they don't accept you, then i will. i love you and i won't let anyone hurt you" with that, seungkwan felt relieved. hansol was right. it's not like he can't fight for seungkwan at this point.
                          
"thank you sollie" seungkwan then gave the younger a kiss on his cheek and they now headed to hansol's house.

"hansol?! is that you?" the younger's mom started to cry and she pulled hansol into a hug. seungkwan was just on the side, watching them with tears on his eyes.
                          
"hey mom" hansol greeted, smiling over his dad and his sister who is coming down the stairs.
                          
"oppa? oh my gosh! why didn't you tell me that you're going home? omg is that seungkwan oppa?" then sofia ran towards seungkwan and hugged him tight. "oppa you're so tall now. do you still remember me? i got older now"
                          
"yeah you got taller too. i still remember teasing you because you were just so small" seungkwan replied, hugging back.
                          
"seungkwan? oh my who is this pretty boy?" hansol's mom asked that made seungkwan blush.
                          
"mom, dad, i have to tell you something. is it okay to talk about this inside?" hansol asked and finally hugged his dad.
                          
"it's okay, son. we're here to listen now" his dad replied, patting his back then all of them headed towards the dining area.
                          
while sitting on their chairs, seungkwan held hansol's hand and the younger felt that the older was nervous so he squeezed his hand and held it on top of his thighs.
                          
"mom, dad, this is seungkwan. he is the youngest son of mr. and mrs. boo's" hansol said and his parents were surprised. "yeah we met again after all those years"
                          
"h-how? were you at jeju all along and met them again?" his dad asked, still surprised. "but his dad didn't say anything about you"
                          
"no dad. it was all a coincidence. we happen to be together in a band back in korea. we're also surprised at first and to be honest, we aren't really close and we kinda fought a lot of times but i want to tell you now that seungkwan and i are dating that's why i brought him here" hansol stated and seungkwan was ready to faint now, waiting for an insult or some harsh words to receive.
                          
"y-you guys are dating?!" his mom exclaimed and seungkwan shut his eyes off, tears ready to fall down his cheeks. "i was surprised but there's nothing wrong with that. as long as it makes you happy. i'm happy for the both of you"
                          
"seungkwan" hansol's dad called and he raised his head to look at his boyfriend's dad. "what did your father say about this?"
                          
"m-my dad? they knew i was gay, sir. i mean, i came out to them when i was in middle school. i think they also know now that w-we are dating" seungkwan answered and immediately drunk the water in front of him.
                          
"okay then, i just thought that your dad and i will have a conflict about this. i'm gonna call them later and tell them that you guys are here. you don't have to be scared to us. as long as you're taking good care of our son, i will be forever grateful about that. don't hesitate to come to us if ever you have a problem. just always remember that what you guys are into right now, this relationship that you have will never be easy and not everyone will accept you. the only thing you can do is to trust each other and ignore those who will drag you down. we are here to support the both of you don't worry" then finally, seungkwan's tears fell down, making hansol's mom and sofia to get worried.
                          
"i'm sorry, i was just really nervous about this and i don't want hansol to be on bad terms with you again so i was really stressed if this coming out is a good idea. i'm really sorry" seungkwan stated and for the second time, hansol's mom cried with him. hansol was just there comforting his boyfriend.
                          
"it's okay oppa. don't make me cry too" sofia said and chuckled.
                          
while crying, seungkwan deep inside was relieved and he was really happy that they accepted the both of them and hansol will never be on bad terms again with his family.
