Love By Chance [Eng Translation]

Chapter 78

[Pete perspective]

"I am going to tell my father that I will never let him hurt your family."

"Will he even listen to you Pete?"

"I... I don't know, but I can't let this go."

Although I went to Ae's house to find him in the middle of the night, his family did not say anything about us, I am very grateful. Even when they saw me and Ae hugging each other, his mother just opened the door and let us into the room. His father said that I should stay here overnight. His brother smiled at me. His sister in law asked me if I had dinner. This gives me a deeper sense of guilt.

My father couldn't hurt my relationship with Ae, so he started to mess with Ae's family. All of this is my fault, Ae and his family should not have to encounter such a thing.

"Calm down Pete. Be calm, you need to breath."

Even if Ae encounters such troubles, he still wants to try to comfort me and caress my back. In fact, he should be more angry with me. I want to take a deep breath, let go of my bad feelings, and swallow the words I want to shout at my father, but it makes me breathe more harder.

"Are you feeling bad?"

"I... my mood can't be recovered. Ae my father actually hurt your family. When I'm not paying attention he might actually take further action." I told him in a trembling voice. I didn't think that my father would be such a cold hearted person.

I know that my father is not pleasing to my mother, but I did not expect him to ruin my happiness by hurting others.

"I am going to tell my mother."

"You told me that your mother was not in trouble because your grandmother was protecting her. Can she do the same again?"

After I calmed down, I kept my mouth shut. There was no way I could get Ae's hopes up. Yes, my mother has not been harassed or embarrassed by my father. And it is for my grandmother's sake. But this kind of thing, I can't ask my grandmother for help. If Grandma knows that I am gay, maybe things will become more out of control. Grandma loves me very much, but Grandma loves her family's reputation as much as my father does. Grandma certainly won't accept the fact that I like boys. It is very likely that her means of stopping me will be worse than that of my father. Or maybe... Grandma is likely to be scared by this news and have a heart attack.

I bowed my head and stared at our hands that were entangled with each other. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry. At this point, Ae put his big hand out and held onto me.

"You don't have to worry, my family is not as bad."

I didn't say a word, I know how much he values ​​his dignity, but I still ask him. "Would you like to take my money for your brother?"

Ae looked at me in disbelief and then told me fiercely. "I will never use your money!"

"But Ae ..."

"If I take your money, I will be the kind of person your father already thinks I am. Pete, I am not a gold digger. I don't need to spend your money, not even a penny." He refused me, but I still tried to use his own reasoning to convince him.

"But your brother needs it Ae. I also know that the interest on usury can be much higher and outrageous with time. Do you want to watch your brother fall into debt?"

I haven't had time to finish and Ae puts his hand on my shoulder, then stares into my eyes and says to me in a firm tone: "You listen to me Pete ... my brother will never use your money."

I also gaze at him. The boy in front of me is a self-respecting person. He is also very confident in his family. Even if he has a hard time living, he will never spend a penny of others... Ae has always been such a person who is not humble.
