"Yah, that's the last piece." Mingyu complains.

"Too bad. I'm hungry." Cheol teased and laughed.

The two are currently in a BBQ restaurant. They're celebrating the end of the semester.

"I'm still wondering why Hoshi doesn't want to come with us." Mingyu said after drinking his soda.

Cheol remembers what he and Hoshi talked about the other day. "Maybe he's not comfortable with only the three of us." He answered.

"I mean it's not that he doesn't belong to us." Mingyu said out of confusion.

Cheol smiles because he knows that Hoshi is making them have their own time together.

"But there's another thing that is weird." Mingyu stated.

"What?" Cheol asked while eating some side dishes.

"Yuna." Mingyu answered. "Why did she act like that?" He asked.

"Wait, do you think she knows about us?" Mingyu began to panic.

"Eyy don't overthink." Cheol said as he points him with his chopsticks.

"Didn't she say anything to you?" Mingyu asked as he leans on the table.

"She hasn't contacted me yet since that day." Cheol answered while busy eating.

"Did you visit her?" Mingyu asked and the camel shook his head. "You should be. She's still your girlfriend." He said.

Cheol looks at him and wants to tell him that he doesn't want to but he knows that the puppy is right.

After driving Mingyu home, he's contemplating if he should go to Yuna's house. After some minutes of struggling, he decided to do it tomorrow.

Song recommendation: The Bridge - Why did you leave me like that?

Cheol arrived at their mansion and entered the living room. To his surprise, his parents are there with Yuna who seems to be crying.

"Oh, babe. Why are you here?" Cheol stopped moving. "Mom, dad. What's wrong?" He asked but his parents were just looking at him.

Cheol senses that there is something wrong. He sits beside Yuna but far enough from her.

"Son, is it true? That you're mistreating your future fiancée?" Mr Choi asked.

"What?" Cheol was shocked and looked at Yuna who was sniffing with a tissue. "No, I don't! I didn't do anything." He answered.

"She said you kept rejecting her and treating her as if she's a ghost." Mr Choi said.

Cheol was about to say something but got interrupted by his father. "Son, I don't know what's happening to you but that is not the right thing to do especially to someone like her." Mr Choi said as he leans to his knees.

"And because of that, she wants to cancel your wedding." He added. Cheol looks at Yuna beside him in disbelief. "Do you know what will happen to the company? It will be surpassed by the other companies! I know you don't want that because the business will be yours soon, right?" He asked as he raises his tone.

"Dad, please, for once, stop thinking about the company and think about what I'm feeling." Cheol pleaded.

"What? Stop thinking about the company? Do you even hear yourself? The company keeps us where we are now! Every second matters in the industry, any minute now, any company could surpass us." Mr Choi exclaimed.

"Does the company matters more than your son's feelings?" Cheol asked.

"Why do we have to talk about your feelings? Are you gay?!" Mr Choi yelled and Mrs Choi tried to calm him down.

Cheol didn't answer and swallowed hard.

"Dad, I don't want to marry someone I don't love." Cheol said while looking at the table. "Especially someone's who's making things complicated in my life." He added.

Yuna looks at Cheol and she's truly hurt by what he said. The elegant girl honestly loves the man but because of her discovery, she thinks that she's not enough for him and she's mad at herself for being inadequate.

"Choi Seungcheol!"

"Dad, hear me out, please. Just this once." Cheol pleaded.

"Sir, don't force him if he really doesn't want to." Yuna said while sniffing.

"And you, why are you doing this to me?" Cheol asked in a mad tone.

"Choi Seungcheol! That's enough! You don't talk to her like that." Mr Choi exclaimed as he stands up.

Yuna stormed out of the mansion. The people in the living room followed her with their eyes as she disappears from the room.

Mr Choi drops to his seat and massages his temples. "Son, what is happening to you? You never disagree with any plans of ours. We gave you everything you want and need. You're even eager to handle the company by yourself and you said that you're happy already with your future. What changed?" He asked.

Cheol didn't say anything and he's just looking at the table in front of them.

"Is it because of that guy you introduced to us on your birthday?" Mr Choi asked and this made Cheol thinks who is he talking about. "Kim Mingyu. The son of that small entrepreneur man." He stated.

"W-Why are you mentioning him?" Cheol asked as he begins to feel something is going to be nasty.

"I heard he's gay." Mr Choi said and the camel was shocked.

"I-I don't know." Cheol stuttered.

Mr Choi slides his phone on the table to Cheol. It is the video the Woozi took when they are having sex in his hideout. Cheol was frozen in his seat.

"He's like a person who is infected by a deadly virus." Mr Choi said. "And you're his first victim." He added.

"Dad, no. It's not like that-"

"Don't! Don't you even try to make excuses because the video is enough evidence." Mr Choi shut him off.

"Yuna and your friend Woozi said that you guys always go on dates that's why you always reject Yuna's invites to go on dates with you even she's your girlfriend, your future wife!" He exposed.

Cheol feel terrible hearing what the people around him did to him.

"Stop meeting that Mingyu or I'll send you to U.S." Mr Choi ordered.

Cheol stands up and is about to walk out when his father grabs him by his shoulder.

"Don't you dare walk out to that door!" Mr Choi warned.

"Dad, I love Mingyu. I love him so much, you can't stop me from loving him no matter what you do! Take me to the U.S or to any country, it will still be him." Cheol said while crying but trying not to break down.

"I don't care if you still have those filthy feelings for that guy, as long as you marry Yuna, everything else doesn't matter." Mr Choi said.

"Better find yourself a new son." Cheol said. Suddenly, Mr Choi throws a punch to his son's face.

"You piece of a disgusting ungrateful brat. We shouldn't let you live, you're a disgrace to this family!" Mr Choi exclaimed while pointing to his forehead.

"Honey, that's enough." Mrs Choi tried to hold her husband. "That's too much." She added.

"No, Mom. At least I know now. Now I know that I'm no son, I'm just an investment." Cheol said and left the mansion while his mother's voice echoing in the mansion, calling his name.
