Donghae tugged on Eunhyuk's arm as they walked up the steps to his house. "Donghae...I don't know...shouldn't we wait to tell him?"

"Nonsense! Kim and Sophia took it very gently, why should my father be any different?" Donghae argued.

Eunhyuk pushed the red button down hard. The seat belt buckle popped out. Slowly, Eunhyuk freed himself from the black strap and looked at Donghae. His eyes seemed to ask, "Ready?"

Donghae nodded and gave Eunhyuk an encouraging smile. "Shall we?" Donghae asked as he opened the door.

"Yes...we shall." Eunhyuk replied and stepped out of the door. Donghae walked around the car and held his hand out for Eunhyuk to take. Eunhyuk grasped on tightly.

"Eunhyuk, it will be fine." Donghae reassured him. "She'll take it just fine."

"Oh...really?" Kim fell silent after Donghae and Eunhyuk explained the whole situation. Her voice sounded crushed. "So you...liked him and he liked you but you didn't know it...and then you adopted him...and....sounds like a odd romance movie." Kim couldn't seem to compute it all.

"I'm sorry Kim...I didn't mean to toy with your feelings in any way. You mean a lot to me, I was really able to connect with you." Eunhyuk gave an honest reply.

Kim shook her head and smiled brightly. "Don't be. I was actually using you as a rebound...my past relationships have been really rough this past year...on and off and I guess I was just too shaken to realize what I was doing. I had feelings your heart was someone else's but my own feelings clouded that. If anything I should apologize...to both of you."

"Thank you for being so understanding. You are a true friend. I hope we can still be friends." Eunhyuk smiled.

"Yes of course." Kim stood and held her hands out for Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk stood and took her hands. She pulled him forward into a big, warm hug. "I'm just happy for you two. If you guys need anything, ever, I'm here."

"Thank you. And the same, if you need anything, I'll be there for you." Eunhyuk released from the hug and bid Kim goodbye.

"See....not so bad. And Sophia, she'll take it just as well." Donghae spoke up.

"Really? Ah that is so cute...but a little weird...so Donghae you are like his...father!?" Sophia asked, giggling and gasping after every other word.

"Yeah, Sophia, it's kind of awkward. But its only for a few months. He'll be 18 in April." Donghae told her.

"Well I'm happy you guys got back together. I was really pulling for you." Sophia stopped and bit her bottom lip. "Its just, I'm glad Donghae can be happy." She smiled and batted her lashes.

"Sophia..." Donghae got up and wrapped her arms around her. She held her hand out and let Eunhyuk join the hug.

"I love you guys!" Sophia cried. "Good luck telling your father Donghae!"

"Well...I could give a few reasons why he would react differently...I mean you are his only son! I'm sure he'll want grandkids or something..." Eunhyuk pouted. They got to Donghae's front door and stopped.

Donghae turned to Eunhyuk and gave him a strong smile. "He already does...remember...just adopted you..."

"I'll never get used to that..." Eunhyuk mumbled and looked down.

Donghae pulled his face back up by Eunhyuk's chin. He smiled and lightly kissed Eunhyuk. "It'll be fine...don't worry."

Eunhyuk found confidence in his lover's words. He gave Donghae a smile and loosened his grip on Donghae's hand. "I sure hope so."

Donghae's father didn't say anything. He stared down at the mahogany breakfast table. He squeezed his fists tightly and let out a soft sigh. He looked up at Donghae and Eunhyuk. He scrunched his brows and stared coldly at the two. "Do you know what this means....for my campaign?" His father spoke in a soft, but very eerie voice.

"Father, I don't care if you don't appr-" Donghae started to say but was cut off by his father's waving hand.

His father stood up. His fists tightened into ominous balls. Donghae stepped forward, protecting Eunhyuk from what might happen next. His father stepped away from the chair and stood in front of his son and lover. His expression was dark and furious. "Donghae..." Donghae took a step forward and prepared himself for what he expected next. His father loosened his fists and changed his expression completely. "Donghae!" He cheered and clapped on the shoulders.

"Wh-" Donghae knit his brows and glanced at Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk gave him an innocent shrug, he was equally confused as Donghae.

"Donghae do you know what this means for my campaign?!" His father smiled and laughed jollily. "Donghae with you coming out to the world, I'll get the GSL vote for sure!" His father turned around and clapped his hands together. "That schmuck Fieldsman won't know what hits him when I beat him in a landslide!" His father laughed once more and turned back to Donghae. "Of course the press will have a hay day when they find out that you adopted your lover...we'll have to do something about that..." His father rambled on.

"Father....what are you talking about? You are going to use my sexuality to win the election?" Donghae asked, a little peeved by his father's motives.

"Donghae, I would have one anyways...but with the GSL vote...BAM!" His father slid his hands together, causing a loud slapping sound. "Win in a landslide!"

"Wh-...What would you do if I came out when you weren't running? How would you react then!" Donghae yelled.

His father's expression changed. His joy was more honest and less staged. "Donghae, you are my only son. Do you know what the last thing your mother told me was?" His father's whole mannerism had changed. His way of speaking, his eyes, body expression, everything. Changed. This was not the man Donghae he knew...at least not the man he could remember.

Donghae shook his head. He felt tears brimming his eyes.

"She told me to always love you. No matter what. And to do everything humanly possible for you. Which is why I remarried so early. Donghae, I couldn't let you grow up without a mother." His father explained.

"But what about this morning...what you told me..." Donghae asked in a soft voice. He seemed to be realizing everything. Why his father was the way he was. Why he did the things he did. Everything.

"Donghae I was drunk. Your mother is the only one that I have ever loved. Today was the anniversary of the day we met. I just missed her so much...I...Donghae...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have exposed you that side of me." His father stepped forward to Donghae, his arms held open.

Donghae didn't know if his father was being completely truthful. He didn't care. This was the first time in 16 years his father showed compassion. Honest, sincere compassion. "Dad..." Donghae name he never used for his father. "Dad." Donghae collapsed in his father's arms and held him tightly.

"I'm sorry Donghae. I'm so sorry." His father held onto his son tightly. "Please forgive me. I should have told you earlier." His father pleaded.

Donghae nodded and tried to speak, but his mouth came up with nothing. He was overrun by emotions. He nodded again.

Donghae pulled away first. "I forgive you."

Donghae's father nodded and turned his attention to Eunhyuk. "So I got my wish, yeah? Having you as a son-in-law..."

Eunhyuk smiled and laughed. "Well..." He shrugged his shoulders.

His father nodded, he knew what Eunhyuk was getting at. "Make my boy happy, okay? Fulfill his mother's dying wishes."

Eunhyuk nodded and gave Donghae a sincere smile. "I will."
