Kristoff frowns and there's buzzing in his ears.

Gasps.

Where?

"I can't believe you are saying this! We didn't dress you, give you the highest education and support you just to be a gay!"

Mother?

"I love him! Whatever you say I will not break up with him!"

Brother?

"Bastard like you."

Father?

In the floor is Kristoff's brother, Kristian, and on top of him is their father who is hitting him until his mouth is bleeding.

"Stop! Stop! Are you going to kill your son?!"

Their mother pulls their father away.

"Why did you stop? Kill me!"

"I really will kill you!"

"No!"

It's chaotic.

But there is nothing more chaotic but Kristoff's head.

A dream?

Am I dreaming what happened in the past?

"You will go to your Uncle Ostin and you will stop this madness!"

Their father shouted pointing at Kristian's face.

"No! Being gay is not an illness. Being in love is not wrong!" Tears and blood with snots mix together.

If people will see his brother right now they will be dumbfounded.

His brother is flawless, beautiful and sociable.

He is smart and capable.

Nobody expected he is gay.

Kristoff knows he is gay though.

He knows,he had seen him kissing a man before but as an anti social like him. He doesn't dare meddle in others affair or blame other for their sexuality or whatever you call it.

"You think people will accept you? They will laugh at you and sneers at you. And what? They will say we didn't raised you well and we spoiled you in becoming...."

Their father look at his brother with disgust as if he is filth.

His brother laughs.

"It's okay for a man to cheat on his wife but they can't be gay?"

"Bastar--"

"What? Tell me Dad! Tell me your glorious manliness! Didn't you cheat mom twice? Is it better than being ga--"

Once again their father punch him.

His brother will not fight back.

They are raise never to harm elderly or female.

Men should have their pride.

"Stop! What are you hitting him for?" Their mother push Their father and hugs his brother.

"Kristian didn't say anything wrong! Maybe it is better for him to be gay than to be a cheater!"

"You! This is why he turns out like this!"

"Me? What about me? Did I ever cheat you? You are so great to hit my son! You bastard!"

"This is not about us!"

"This is everything about us. Did you also hit your son outside? Look at my pitiful Kristian!"

"So it was okay for him to be disgusting filthy gay?"

Their mother eyes stilled.

Of course she doesn't want to.

"Why do you always try to oppress brother? He is already 25. He doesn't need you to live."

I open my mouth.

And they all look at me.

In this house the one without voice is me.

They all push me around and I follow whatever they told me.

Even if I think for myself, I can't do what I thought should be good.

Because they already laid out the thinking for me.

When we died one day after leaving Brother's exboyfriend's group I realized that being filial is good but too much is bad.

"Do not get involve with this! Go to your room and study."

Their father said.

One year from now..

The apocalypse will happen.

I don't have any power to change it but I can protect myself.

But protecting myself will not be enough.

I have my family.

Whatever people became in apocalypse, I don't want to be like them.

I was thinking about brother too.

His lover truly loves him.

And brother truly loves him back.

But if brother keeps being arrogant and like father and mother, it is not wrong for his love to cool down so I don't blame him.

Love should be two way, give and take.

"Brother came here to tell you his feelings despite knowing what kind of one side tracked your heads are.

He came here believing you will think of him as a son instead of what the other people outside our family will say. If this is the morality you want to instill. I rather go to grandma in the province."

"You!"

"Dad!"

"Husband!"

The two people stop their father for reaching Kristoff.

Kristoff has a clear eyes.

"I do not hate father and mother. You raise us well and cared, dress us. But you have no right to restrict us of what to become and what we should feel. And brother has been the perfect son you are so proud of. He is unlike the other son who do drugs, get someone pregnant and has criminal record unlike our cousins.

I think you should not be ashamed if there is a family gathering and they point out that brother is gay."

Kristoff is innocent.

He is eccentric.

Would say one to three sentence a week.

He is a man of few words literally.

But he is not a fool.

The family knows that he is weird but they make sure he doesn't feel like that.

"You are saying it is alright for your brother to be gay!?"

"What's wrong with that? He is successful, has his own house, has a good career, has his own savings. Him being a gay, what is that so much of a deal?"

They all didn't move.

"He won't have kids." Their mother starts crying.

"And people will laugh at him!" She wipes her eyes.

Kristian stares dumbfounded at his mother.

"I don't want to hate my own son. I want to support him.

But as a mother....How can I just stand without trying to not put him in that situation?"

Their father didn't say a thing.

He only have two sons.

He cared for them alot even without showing it.

"Is it too awkward to speak your mind? We all love each other but we all hurt each other? Because we want to protect each other? This is so strange."

Kristoff stand up and went to his room upstairs.

His head is muddle.

He have to think.

"Bring him here."

Their father said.

Kristian eyes dilated after realizing what his father meant.

Though his face is bruised and blood is dripping his cheek.

He feel this strange warmth and he starts crying.

"I'm sorry, Dad. What I said.....I didn't mean...."

Their Mother pats Kristian's back.

"Let's call a doctor. Look at my baby's face."

Kristian hugs his mother.

"Mom...Mom..."

He is prepared to leave the house. But it seems he doesn't have to.

In the past, Kristoff just watch them and his brother was chased out of the house.

His boyfriend sheltered him.

They keep trying to be recognized by their parents but they hardened their hearts.

Pride is a big deal.

Without it, you can't be called a man.

But too much of it makes you inhumane.

A/N:

And I am in tears.

Lols.

The MC's head is muddled so the story's plot is not told clearly for that reason.
