bora and jaebum met at college in seoul, south korea. jaebum was much like his son, an adventurer and entertainer, while bora was a reclusive and more intuitive sort. call it love at first sight, but it didn't take long for the pair to become a couple.
after graduating college, bora and jaebum didn't hesitate to get married. they were young, yes, but
so in love. nobody could tell them "no" from the way stars glittered like galaxies in their eyes as they looked at one another.
three years after their marriage, life was still splendid for them. bora became with child, and later the couple discovered they were having twins. it was fantastic news, but the stress brought on complications with bora's pregnancy.
when youngguk and his brother youngsik were born, bora and jaebum were concerned for them. it was a tough labor, but both children came out healthy as can be. at least for the most part. it was clear that youngguk was stronger than youngsik, who was more prone to sickness and exhaustion than his older twin.
as the boys grew older, they were extremely close. they shared a bedroom at all times, and it was clear how much they depended on each other.
youngguk was seven when his brother passed away. it had been an accident. they had just been fooling around, as children often do, and hadn't been thinking of the consequences. moments before his death, the world had been full of color and vivid laughter. in seconds it was all come to a screeching halt as youngsik fell from the roof of their two-story home, abruptly ending his story.
with the absence of his brother, youngguk's world turned cold and gray. the guilt ate him alive for it was his idea to climb onto the roof and dance around, the uneven surface making it all the more dangerous.
but at that time in youngguk's life, he found soccer ― football ― to be his getaway. it eased the pain through the ache of muscles and the smell of sweat. it took at least three years, but youngguk was finally able to cope with the death of his twin.
through middle school youngguk was the center of attention. he was a dashing and debonair sort, one all of the girls would flock to. but he didn't go without his large group of friends, who were often not the best influence on him.
his last year of middle school (before moving to the united states), youngguk had been playing truth or dare. he was dared to make out with one of his friends. he did it. afterward, he was terrified his parents would somehow find out. even if they were still starstruck lovers, homosexuality was not welcome within their home.
even though the unannounced move to the united states was heartbreaking for youngguk, he couldn't help but feel a bit relieved that his secret would die back home.
FACECLAIM&& youngguk's faceclaim is yoon sanha.
