-I finally had the guts to talk to my parents about my relationship with Yura. I don't know how they will take it, but I hope they can accept the decision we made. I drove up to my parents home and thought about what I should say- "AIISSSHHH. Come on Woohyun. Your girlfriend needs you right now and all the support we can get to make it through." -I say to myself. I walked out of my car, locked it, and went straight up to the door, knocking it softly. Suddenly, my older brother opens the door and happily greets me inside. I walked in as my brother went to go get our mom and dad- "You can do this Woohyun. You can do this. Just tell them about what has happened and then you should be good..." -I then hear the footsteps increase into the living room. My mom and dad were happy to see me and gladly asked me to take a seat-
"What brings you here Woohyun-ah?" my mother said.
"I know I told you guys about Yura and I dating a few months back. Well, we are becoming parents." -I thought about what I said, will convince that I'm a grown man and that I'll be with Yura through no matter what, I guess I was wrong. I received a big fat slap across my cheek-
"What was that about?" my mother said.
"HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HAVING A KID AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE AND HOW IT'LL AFFECT BOTH YOU AND HER?" my father yelled at me. "Did you even talk about it to her parents. Do you even know how the parents feel about it? Do they even know that you guys are dating?"
-I looked down and shook my head- "No. We were just two people that fell in love and wanted to do what we wanted to do." -I stood up and looked at my father- "Look, if you don't appreciate my love for her and my support, well, there is nothing we can do, but to have this baby. Dad, I'm old enough to choose my own path. If you're not going to support me, then fine. This is my life. Yura and I picked this life and I think we are ready for this." -I felt like yelling and throwing a punch at him, but nothing will get fixed if we just kept arguing. Then, he walked up to me and hugged me tight, apologizing about slapping me-
"Son, if you think you are ready, then your mother and I will support you fully. I understand that you are now a grown man, who is making a big success in life. Just, please take care of her and your baby. Whatever happens, we are here for the both of you."
-I was happy at what he said to me. I looked at my mother, who gave a slap at my father's shoulder. I grabbed a few ice cubes from the freezer and packed in a zip lock back, covered with a napkin.- "Well, I should be on my way to her house. I need to talk about it with her parents as well." -My parents gave me a tight hug and wished me luck. I said my goodbyes and headed out- "Now I need to know how I'll face them..."
