As Jian Yu and Liang Zheng walked to school, their pace was slightly hindered by the lingering soreness in their bodies. The memories of their passionate night still fresh, their muscles ached pleasantly.
Jin Yu, walking alongside them, noticed the kiss marks on their necks. He raised an eyebrow, amused.
"Looks like you two had a wild night," Jin Yu teased.
Jian Yu and Liang Zheng exchanged sheepish grins.
When they arrived at school, they were met with stares and whispers. Liang Zheng's declaration of love from yesterday had spread like wildfire, and the school's platform was abuzz with the news.
"Kim Liang and Jian Yu: The Unstoppable Love Story" read the bold headline.
The school authority, however, remained indifferent. As an elite institution, they were accustomed to such displays of affection.
"Our students' personal lives are their own," the principal stated. "We focus on academic excellence, not policing relationships."
Students and faculty alike respected the couple's openness.
As they navigated the bustling hallways, Jian Yu and Liang Zheng held hands, their love radiating like a beacon. Classmates congratulated them, and teachers offered warm smiles.
In their first period, Literature, they sat together, hands intertwined. Their classmates discussed the latest novel, while Jian Yu and Liang Zheng exchanged sweet glances.
Between classes, they strolled through the courtyard, enjoying the sunshine. Liang Zheng whispered sweet nothings into Jian Yu's ear, making him blush.
Jin Yu watched his brother with a warm heart. He admired their courage and love.
"I'm so happy for them," Jin Yu thought. "They deserve every ounce of happiness."
Jin Yu recalled the struggles Jian Yu faced, coming to terms with his identity. He saw how Liang Zheng's love transformed Jian Yu's life.
"I'll always support them," Jin Yu vowed. "Their love is pure and true."
During lunch, Jin Yu joined Jian Yu and Liang Zheng, sharing stories and laughter.
"You two are meant to be," Jin Yu said, smiling.
Jian Yu and Liang Zheng exchanged grateful glances.
Jian Yu's voice trembled slightly as he asked Jin Yu, "Do you think Mom will accept me being gay?"
Jin Yu's expression turned thoughtful. "Honestly, I don't know. She's always been open-minded, but this is different. It's her own son."
Jian Yu's eyes widened with concern. "What if she doesn't accept me?"
Jin Yu placed a reassuring hand on Jian Yu's shoulder. "We'll face it together, bro. But maybe it's better to tell her before she hears it from someone else."
Jian Yu nodded resolutely. "You're right. I want to introduce Kim Liang to her, too."
Jin Yu's expression turned serious. "Are you sure you're ready for that?"
Jian Yu took a deep breath. "Yes. I want her to know the truth, and meet the person I love."
Jin Yu smiled supportively. "Then go for it, bro. I'll be right there with you."
Jian Yu turned to Kim Liang, his eyes searching for reassurance. "What did you think? Are you okay with me telling my mom about us?"
Kim Liang's expression remained calm and supportive. "No problem, I'm ready whenever you are."
Jian Yu's shoulders relaxed, relieved.
"Does your family know about us?" Jian Yu asked.
Kim Liang shook his head. "No, nobody knows. I haven't found the right time to tell my father."
Jin Yu, who had been listening quietly, spoke up.
"Kim Liang, what if your dad doesn't accept you being gay? You're his only child."
Kim Liang's gaze dropped, his brow furrowing. "I've thought about it. It's not going to be easy."
He paused, collecting his thoughts.
"My dad values family legacy and tradition. He might struggle to understand."
Jin Yu nodded empathetically. "But you're prepared for that?"
Kim Liang's jaw set in determination. "Yes. I know who I am, and I'm proud of it. If he needs time to accept it, I'll give it to him."
Jian Yu's heart swelled with admiration for Kim Liang's courage.
Emboldened, Jian Yu decided to have an open conversation with his mother
As the day progressed, Jian Yu and Kim Liang attended their classes, their love radiating like a beacon.
In their Economic class, they worked together on a group project, their hands touching as they shared notes. Their classmates teased them good-naturedly.
In the school's courtyard, they stumbled upon a group of students rehearsing a musical performance. Jian Yu and Kim Liang couldn't resist joining in, their voices blending harmoniously.
Their love and friendship filled the air, inspiring others.
After Sports class, they attended their Literature class, where they discussed Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Jian Yu and Kim Liang exchanged knowing glances, their own love story unfolding.
As the school day drew to a close, Jian Yu and Kim Liang walked hand-in-hand, their hearts full.
"Today was amazing," Jian Yu said.
"Definitely," Kim Liang agreed. "I'm grateful for every moment with you."
