That was the first thing Kim Jonghyun says in the morning over the phone to his best friend, Key.
Key fell off his bed once he got the call from Jonghyun. "YOU'RE WHAT?!" he shrieked.
"I'm physically and emotionally attracted to Minho."
"You mean Choi Minho, captain of the soccer team at our university?" Key sighed and got up from the floor. "Dude, you know he's like super straight. How did this happen?"
Jonghyun sighed and hit his head on his bedroom headboard. "I don't know. I guess it's the dreams and the butterflies I get thinking about him even when he's not around."
Key pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes shut. "Before you talk like a schoolgirl who has a crush on the popular boy, I'd like to point out that you'd have to tell your family first."
"Oh okay." Then he hung up. Key stared at his phone in disbelief.
Well that was an awkward way to start a morning.
As soon as Key turned around after locking the door to his house, he freaked out finding Jonghyun right behind him.
"Holy shit, Jjong! Don't scare me like that!"
Jonghyun continued to smile. "I told them already."
Key raised an eyebrow. "Told who? And about what?"
"Told my parents that I'm gay."
Key's eyes widened at the short boy in front of him. "YOU WERE SERIOUS?!" he shouted. Jonghyun simply nodded. Key sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose again.
"So...how did your parents take it?"
Jonghyun shrugged. "They said as long as I get to be married in the future and get grandchildren, I can be whoever I want to be."
Key narrowed his eyes at him in confusion. "And just how are you going to do that when you're gay? You know that in Korea, gay marriage isn't legal."
"No, but in America most parts allow it." Jonghyun answered thoughtfully as he started walking to school, gesturing Key to follow. The latter obediently walked beside him. "But what about children? Last time I checked, only women were able to produce children."
"There are some rare occasions of men getting pregnant."
"You are missing my point and the keyword is RARE, Jjong."
Jonghyun shrugged. "I'll adopt. Having a family doesn't need to have a required bloodline."
Coming Out - Jonghyun/Minho
