My story. Disclaimer: everything in this story is fiction and purely made to parody reality and provide comic relief mixed with um i fergot so if anything in this story offends you, Sorry bout that. That being said enjoy!

Choi Jiung was just a regular teenage boy from Anyang, South Korea. He liked voguing, watching Rupaul’s drag race, and reading BLs just like any other boy his age. But he had a secret. Something he had been bottling up inside ever since he felt these terrorizing feelings for the first time. He liked GIRLS. No matter how much he tried to repress it, he couldn’t control his heterosexual tendencies. Anytime somebody would ask him who his celebrity crush was he would blurt out something like Troy Sivan, when he really had eyes for Charli xcx. He had spent his summer trying to distract himself from the guilt of his uncontrollable urge to kiss girls, praying to 날봐 날봐 예수 to make him gay like all the normal kids.

With school starting back up soon, his lesbian mothers took him shopping to buy all new supplies and a brand new rainbow backpack since his last one was starting to fade. While these items were fabulous, Jiung felt guilty knowing they were untrue to his character. What would his moms think?? He worried they would be Disappointed or worse, they would Disown him. Double D’s nooo im sorry I swear it’s a lyric from duh you pervert. They finished up doing some lesbian shopping and got into their lesbian red Honda SUV. Dinner time was approaching and Jiung’s lesbian mom number 1, Haseul suggested they go to the new millennial burger joint that just opened. Lesbian mom number 2 also known as Vivi started looking it up on her phone and she read the description of the restaurant “2 guys with a crazy dream.” She had a good feeling about this place and was eager to dine there. Both lesbian moms Haseul and Vivi looked back at Jiung in the backseat waiting for his approval, Jiung being the empath he is and seeing how much his lesbian mothers wanted this he agreed Just to entertain them just to make them happy.

They arrived to their dsstination and there was a big flashing sign on the building that read “HeyBoy its Burger.” As soon as they entered imagine dragons started blaring over the speakers. They made their way to an empty booth, sat down, and read the menu which was only accessible through a QR code. A young waiter, too young to possibly be a millennial, came over and took their orders. He was really beautiful he had long blonde hair and his root came 2005. After he took their orders, he quickly threw down a smoke bomb disappearing cause that’s just how they do it at HeyBoy its Burger. He came back and served (in general) but also served them their drinks which were in measuring cups instead of normal glasses, gripping the straws tightly with all 5 fingers as he mixed each of their drinks. This burger place is simply not like the others…it’s unique. After just enough time for them to start wondering when their actual food would arrive, the cute waiter came back with a little something for them to feast on. His dance moves. He started busting out crazy moves and even rapping his own original piece for them? 진짜 미치어서!! The 3 of them enjoyed this little boys performance but they were still starving. Another 6 or 7 minutes passed (Yes we are bringing this meme into 2026) and the food finally arrived. Vivi suddenly started speaking Japanese “Eat a Taki moss!” before digging into her overpriced handheld. Sdiybt. Jiung attempted to eat but seemed to be disconnected from reality. “What’s wrong honey you’ve barely touched your shareable??” Haseul said with a concerned look on her face. “Oh…it’s nothing. I guess I just zoned out.” Jiung replied. Vivi chimed in, “If you didn’t wanna eat here you could’ve said so. We wouldn’t be upset.” Jiung saw his lesbian mothers in distress and tried to change the subject, “No it’s fine really, oh hey I heard my new school has a drama club, I was thinking about joining.” His lesbian mothers were delighted as they had always found Jiung to be a great actor, always putting on plays for them ever since he was young. “This is great news! You’ll have chances to make so many new friends!” Haseul exclaimed joyfully. “And you’ve always been a drama queen got it from your mama mama mama 🤣 not me doe..” Said Vivi. Haseul rolled her eyes. Other than that, everyone spent the rest of the night talking and laughing and having a good time.

The next few days went by faster than Jiung could’ve imagined and before he knew it he was off to college. Yeah I forgot to specify that he is going to college earlier because I actually didn’t know back then I’m just now making this decision and as the author I really shouldn’t be admitting to this but I like to be open and honest with my audience. Anyway his lesbian mothers cried so hard before sending the boy off to be independent for the first time in his life. Jiung was excited to start a new chapter of his life but also anxious to meet new people. What if they found out about his little secret? Would he become an outcast? He had about a million worries all rushing through his head at once. He wished he could just shut his stupid brain up sometimes. And there he was. Choi Jiung’s first day as the only straight student in an all gay school. Gahhh he hoped no one would find out!!! He walked into his first class and it seems as if everyone was staring at him. He felt pressured to introduce himself. “Hey Twinkies..! My name is Choi Jiung and I’m 19 years old. I was born in Seoul and raised in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do. My hobbies are voguing, watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, and reading BLs. I hope we can all get along well!” He smiled and hoped his first impression was received well by the class. A handsome boy smiled back at him and motioned him to come over. Jiung couldn’t quite tell if the boy was into him or if he was just being friendly, but he went over to go sit with him anyway as he didn’t wanna be alone. “Hey, I’m Hwang Intak! Are you new to this area?” Said the handsome boy. “Oh yeah, I know for most people here this is probably just their local college, but I wanted a place that was small and humble, and a good outlet for me to express my creativity, so thats why I came here.” “Ohh wow that’s really cool, I like your passion.” Intak replied, still smiling at Jiung. Jiung was about to start speaking again, but their conversation was cut short as Professor Jyp entered the room and started giving them a lecture. He told the class a long story on what it means to be gay and how this school can bring them closer to Gay Jesus. (To me it’s just regular Jesus, just a glimpse into my gay mind.)

Professor Jyp stated how he had once fallen for a girl back when he was around most of the students age and the guilt he felt because of it. This girl was perfect in every way, she had beautiful eyes nose lips and she even called him baby boo, but he knew it was wrong to be in love with a girl, and he did everything he could to repress these feelings. Jiung became pale in the face, anticipating where this story would go next. Jyp then explained how his gay dads sent him to gay college, a college just like the one they’re in right now, to try and fix him, and that’s when he came to his senses and realized he did have feelings for men. At first he had withdrawals from kissing girls, no, kissing A GIRL. He didn’t just like this girl…he loved her🥺 but because of his environment, he was able to get over her. Simple as that. He still remembered the exact moment he finally opened up to the queer agenda, even quoting his exact words “I’ve never slept with a man, but let it be done to me.” And the moral of the story was that it’s never too late to be converted into the homo-normative mindset. Hearing this, Jiung felt a bit of hope, maybe he could change for the better. In his peripheral vision, Jiung noticed Intak gulp nervously, and wondered if Intak may be going through something similar? What if they’re all in this together? For a second, Jiung felt truly seen. Just as Professor Jyp finished up his lecture, the bell rang, and everyone hurried to their next classes. Intak naturally left slightly before Jiung, as his seat was closer to the door, but as he was exiting, he looked back at Jiung and waved goodbye. Jiung initially felt a bit flustered, and wondered if this is what it felt like to have a crush on a boy? Maybe the world is healing. 🥹❤️‍🩹 Jiung proceeded through the rest of the day normally, even feeling a bit hopeful after hearing Jyp’s speech and...meeting Intak.

After school Jiung made his way to his dorm, which he had set up a few days before going back to school shopping with his lesbian moms. There he met his roommate, a stylish lesbian who seemed like she could crush him like a bug or alien at any given moment. Since this is a gay school the dorm setup is boy and girl youknow. Apparently she was dating the lesbian class president, Chuu, but Jiung hadn’t gotten her name yet. He nervously walked up to her and introduced himself, pretty much the same introduction from earlier so I won’t bother going over it again. I hope your memory serves you well. The girl glanced up from her phone to look at Jiung with an unpleasent reaction on her face, nonchalantly responding with a simple, “Cool.” Seeing her expression, Jiung gulped nervously and was reminded of the boy from his first class of the day. His voice shaky, he managed to reply “Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?” The girl groaned and sat up a bit straighter, “Fine. My name is Yves and I would prefer not to be talked to right now? I can’t be bothered to have a conversation with a twink at this hour.” Jiung felt stupid for ever opening his mouth, but still managed to get the last word, “I understand..” he mumbled quietly before walking off to his room. Since it was a small college they could afford separate rooms for each person, which was a great benefit.

Jiung laid down in his bed and sighed, processing everything that had just went down. Just then, he got a notification. It was his lesbian mom, Haseul. “Hey sweetie! Just wanted to check up on you, how was your first day at college? My little boy is all grown up now. Are you liking it there? Are you making new friends?? Tell me all of the details.” Haseul had always been extreme and overprotective of Jiung, he didn’t want her to worry at all so he quickly began typing a response. “Hey mom, everything’s been going great! I’ve made new friends already and all my classes have been good so far.” Within seconds his mom had already responded another paragraph. “That’s amazing to hear! I’m glad you’ve had a good experience so far. You know I’d love to meet your friends someday. I’m always prepared to have guests over! You should probabaly get some rest here shortly if you wanna continue to feel good for the rest of the week. I love you!” Jiung replied, “I mean it’s only my first time meeting them so don’t get too ahead of yourself haha. I’m about to get ready for bed I love you too and I’ll call you tomorrow okay?” Haseul sent back one last message for the night, “Okay talk to you then, goodnight!😊” “Goodnight mom, make sure you update Vivi too.” Haseul gave the message a thumbs up. Jiung finally got off his phone and got ready for bed. As he laid back down for the night, he couldn’t help but think back to Professor Jyp’s lecture from earlier. The hope that lecture brought to Jiung was enough to help him sleep peacefully that night.
