“About that..” he paused, how could he tell his own boyfriend that he had yet to bring up his sexuality to his parents. his parents that were super conservative. his extremely christian parents that would probably look down upon their son they had loved so dearly the past 23 years. Their son that they had pestered and bothered about marriage and dating a woman for years now, how could he ever speak to them about his sexuality? he blew out a puff of air before pursing his lips. “I’ve never told them.. about you know.. me being bisexual.. they don’t know. I’m still in the closet with them.” he did it, he got it off his chest, now the other knew. “You know they’re really christian and all about same sex this, same sex that.. I’ve been too scared to tell them..”
Jeonghan never had actually experienced the whole, coming out to family phenomena. It wasn’t as though he was in the closet now (well to the fans maybe, but that’s a different story than his personal life), but he’s just never actually come out and had a sit down with his parents or his sister or anyone really, and had said discussion in fear of being accepted. He just never thought it needed to be done because, well, he’s always been this way; he didn’t wake up one day or have some traumatic event that caused him to realize he was pansexual, it’s just always been there. He’s always found beauty in every being. Sure his parents don’t particularly encourage said topic (he doesn’t really expect much different from an older generation), but Jeonghan assumes they’re supportive, considering they’ve never really showed detest for it. They’re more.. liberal, than Minhyuk’s parents, per say. So it makes Jeonghan really curious as to how someone with Minhyuk’s upbringing experienced coming out. Was like in all the movies? Did he sit them down, talk them through things? Did they take it well? That last one was definitely a big curiosity, because Minhyuk was fairly family oriented currently, so they must have then, right?
“Wait... what?” Blinking in surprise, he looks over to him like he isn’t sure whether this is a joke or not. Minhyuk was twenty three, had he really gone this long without them taking the slightest of hint that he could like the same sex? “You never told me you were still in the closet to your parents...” He furrows his brows. “I mean I'm not judging, I know it’s probably harder on you because they’re so conservative... Do you not plan on telling them for a while still?” Quickly backtracking. “Ah, sorry, you don’t have to answer that. It’s none of my business.”
