When I was around 3 years old my parents got killed. They told me it was a car accident and I was forced to believe it. I was sent to a foster home by my grandparents, and for that I’ll never forgive them.The same year, I got adopted by a newlywed couple.Martin and Jack are both great parents. They have taught me it’s ok to be different, and that family is the strongest source of happiness and love.Martin is South Korean and Jack is Canadian, from a small French village, so I’ve learned many languages and adopted several cultures.Because of Martin’s job we moved to US, to a small city near Washington. I was 6 when this happened, but I can’t recall a single thing about the day we moved in. Martin isn’t his real name. He’s named Lee Chung-Hee, but he changed it to Martin Lee. He is a good appa, a really proud, hard-working and loving appa.Jack appa was also a very good parent, though he was more like an umma. He liked to cook and design clothes. It was funny when he got excited about fixing my uniform, or when I asked him to makes costumes for me. He also had this bright hair that turned heads. He owned a bakery near Klow Avenue and many people bought from it.Jack befriended a man that used drugs. He tried to use some on me.Martin and Jack are no longer married. I really loved Jack appa, although he was a junkie.We returned to Korea, where Martin got a new job. We started from zero.We used to travel all around the world for the holidays. We no longer visit Martin’s parents because every time we went to Korea they were busy, or out.I knew that wasn’t true. I knew they didn’t like Jack nor Me.In the other hand, Jack’s parents are the best. Even after the divorce, we keep visiting them in Canada.They’re funny and huggable, and, in some weird way, they give out the best advices.They also give me yummy food, and because they know I love banana milk, there’s always a box full of them on their small pantry.I’m really happy with the life I have, and I’m hoping I’ll always be.I have to admit I’m not the brightest kid, nor the dumbest. I just like to keep it cool and comfortable like most sixteen year olds. Sometimes, I skip school with my best friend, and we go around the basketball courts to play or just relax and do nothing at all.He lives just around the block I live in. Because we spend so much time together, people often say we look alike, and many have thought we’re brothers.It feels like it.My other best friend doesn’t like skipping classes, and he lectures me any time he cans. He’s really funny when angry, but some other times he’s a crazy scary bitch. I always tell him he’s my umma substitute.We three spend each and every afternoon together. “Kim Jong In” “Yah! Wake Up!” I whispered while slapping his arm.“KIM JONG IN”“Huh? ...Yes?” He wiped the drooling with his hand.“Page 4 You dumb-ass” I whispered between my teeth.“Ah yes, yes. When the blood cells gather around the-“Key sighed and rolled his eyes. I couldn’t help but laugh.I was always saving Kai’s ass from detention, but de didn’t seem to get he wasn’t supposed to sleep on class time.I really wondered if he ever slept during nighttime.“Yah Kai, How do you manage to sleep that much?” Zelo said."Sleeping makes me sleepy"D.O snorted and Sehun lowered his face for us not to see he wanted to laugh."Is that even possible?!" Key burstedI was surprised D.O was really paying attention to what we said, he was normally on some unknown world of his.“Aish, Let me alone...” He frowned and crossed his arms.I sat next to Key and Kai where the sun didn’t touch my face.I wasn't that much of a fan of brightness, or light in general.“Hi guys” Luhan said and Sehun quickly stood up with a smile on his face to give him his seat. You could clearly see how his eyes shined, and how nervous he got each time he saw him.“It’s ok” He said and sat on the bleacher below while Sehun wrapped his arms around him.We didn’t know if they were together, they never said anything about it. We didn’t care if they were, as long as they were happy.Maybe having gay parents made me a much tolerant and open person..I just think that if there's love, there's no reason for others to prohibit it."Where's Jonghyun?" Key asked Luhan, but the small guy just shrank his shoulders and shook his head."How is he supposed to know?" I asked Key.Luhan had come from China a year ago, because of the exchange program he got into. He happened to enter to the same soccer program Sehun was on, so he started to hang with us.He's really cute and rather lost sometimes, but still easy to be with. He spends most of his time with Sehun so we haven't had the chance to get to know him completely, or at least I haven't."There they are" Kai said and we all turned our heads.Jonghyun and Minho were walking our way.Jonghyun is Key's boyfriend. They have this up and down relationship were they're always fighting and then saying cute things to each other.Now that I think about it, I don't think any of us is straight.. Wait I mean.. No, I don't know.I have to admit I don't like girls that much. They're always nagging or whining loudly about something it just makes me annoyed. I find them pretty though.."How was your test?" Key asked his boyfriend, and he kissed his forehead."I don't think I'll pass" He shamelessly said."Yah!" Key slapped the back of Jonghyun's head. "Do you ever study for something? Your dad is going to ground you again!" "Are you my mother? Aish! It hurts" He rubbed his head.A scene I was completely used to.Minho was standing just beside Jonghyun. I looked at him just in time to see the corner of his mouth curving a little bit. He seemed to be enjoying the fight. I really liked to see his smile. He never said much, but when he did, his voice made me numb.He seemed to notice I was staring at him, and turned to look at me. I immediately blushed and looked down at my shoes, and pretended to be removing some dirt above them.Stupid! What are you doing?! Act natural..Act Natural..I saw he was still looking at me, smiling.I seriously got nervous."Zelo, did you say you needed lunch money? I'll buy lunch for you" He was about to nod, but I was already pulling his wrist and walking towards the cafeteria.As if I wasn't obvious.. You idiot!!"Buy some apple juice for me!" Kai yelled at me and I nodded walking even faster."Aish Taemin, Calm down! It hurts""Ah, Sorry!" I quickly let go of his wrist."What is it? I know you'd never buy me lunch"He was right. I always brought lunch and I didn't even had money for myself."It's just .. Ahh!" I covered my face with both hands."Ok, so you like him""I- Wait what? No.. I-""Ha! You do like him!" He smirked in satisfaction."No.. I-I don't know..""So, you're gay?""No. I don't think so" I buried my face even deeper in my hands."Yeah sure" He chuckled"Since when does liking a guy count as gay?""Umm.. Since Ever (?) .. There's nothing wrong about liking a guy""Have you liked one too?""No.. I like girls, but what I mean is-""No, Ahh! You don't understand!" I freaked out."Taemin, Taemin, Listen to me" He kneeled in front of me and uncovered my face.He really had soft hands."There's nothing wrong liking him. Yes, he's two years older, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Key's dating Jonghyun and he's also two years older""But he won't like me.. Haven't you seen all the girls confessing to him? And he's so mysterious and serious.. I couldn't-""Breathe.. It's ok. I'm not hungry. Let's buy the juice and return""I didn't even bring money""As always. Ok let's just say it closed early. C'mon let's return, they'll be asking questions if we don't hurry""Thanks" I said standing up and he patted my back.I'm really grateful to have him as my friend. He' d helped me in the most difficult times. Yes, Kai and Key where my best friends, but there where some things that I really was ashamed of, like this, and fortunately, Zelo has always been on my side when I'm about to lose it.--------------
