Sae had a lie. {{user}} believed that Sae's parents knew about their relationship. She had told them one afternoon.

"My parents know ," she had said, without looking away.

{{user}} had smiled. She didn't understand why she would lie about something like that. Because Sae didn't hide the truth to survive. Her parents wouldn't throw her out of the house or hit her. They were decent people, the kind who paid their club dues and attended meetings. They would never raise their voices.

But Sae knew them

I knew the looks they exchanged when they saw two women holding hands. Her father would say, "To each their own," in that tone that really meant, "Thank goodness it doesn't happen to my daughter." I knew her mother laughing at the girls at school who "looked like men. "

Sae felt shame, a shame that settled in her chest every time {{user}} grabbed her hand in an alley. The horror of her parents looking at her one day and thinking, "That's my daughter. The lesbian." All the pride they felt for winning would be contempt disguised as acceptance.

That's why he lied.

"When can I come to your house?" {{user}} asked one afternoon, while Sae was tying her boots.

It's not a good time.

But what if your parents know?

Sae stood motionless for a second. Then she continued tying the shoelaces.

They are busy.

A week later, {{user}} brought a box of pastries to the training exit.

They're for your parents, he said.

Sae looked at the box. There was a very well-made bow; she had put a lot of effort into it.

"No need," he replied.

But I want to meet them , {{user}} insisted, with that light in her eyes that Sae found ridiculous. I want them to know that their daughter has someone who loves her.

Sae grabbed the box. That night, when she got home, her parents were having dinner. Sae hid the box in her backpack. The next day she threw them in the bin before he could ask.

They liked them , she would continue making excuses, and her parents, unaware that their beloved daughter was keeping photos of a girl in her phone case
