7 - Guiding Lights: Navigating LGBTQIA+ Stories

WARNING: mentions of religious topics but without any direct criticism to any religion. Some of Hamlinz's most iconic moments will also be mentioned, so I recommend you watch Sunjay's EN-LOG before you start reading!

The Acoustic and Articulatory Phonetics class was in full swing, with the teacher explaining in detail the concepts of the day. Y/N was focused on her notes, but she couldn't help but notice when a tall guy from her class shyly approached her desk. He looked restless and worried.

"Hi, are you Y/N?

“Yes, I am. And I assume you're Hansol."

"Yes! How did you…? Choi Beomgyu, holy shit.” he muttered “Can I ask you a quick question?”

Y/N smiled gently at him, realizing that he needed help.

"I wanted to talk to you about a rather complicated situation that's going on with a friend of mine from New York. He's going through a delicate moment in his relationship with another guy and I don't really know how to advise him."

She nodded, understanding his concern.

"I see. They’re struggling with their relationship, is that it?"

"No, they're actually doing fine. The problem is my friend's father-in-law. I think you have an idea of where you're going, don't you?"

"I do. So you want my help with your friend's family problems?"

"That's right! Despite the rumors, I heard that you're also an empathetic and understanding person, and I thought maybe you could give me some advice."

She was touched by the confidence her colleague was placing in her, she thought about it for a moment and then smiled.

"I'd love to help, oppa, but every situation is unique, and it's important to be sensitive in listening and offering advice. Also, I don't know the context of the problem he's experiencing with his boyfriend, so I think it would be even better if you could tell your friend about Love On Air."

He looked intrigued by the suggestion.

"Love On Air, right? Jun-hyung told me about this podcast, but what is it exactly?"

"It's a podcast that I and my… I mean, for now only I command." she scratched the back of her neck and smiled. "Its purpose is to help people with love problems and issues related to all types of love, including same-sex relationships. I believe your friend could find valuable advice and understanding by listening to our episodes."

The American smiled, excited by the idea.

"That's brilliant! I think he would be relieved to hear advice from people who really understand and care about the LGBTQIA+ community!"

The Canadian woman smiled and took out her phone. She opened her twitter on the podcast page and followed the guy's profile.

"There you are, Hansol, I followed you! As soon as your friend feels ready to send a message to Love On Air, we'll be glad to help."

"We who?"

"Ahahn, spoilers free for you, honey! Just listen to find out!”

Hansol thanked her, appreciating Y/N's willingness to help his friend even during class. He sat down next to her and continued listening to the teacher's explanation with a little more tranquility.

During class, she noticed that he was more relaxed and involved in discussions. She was happy to be able to help him, and hoped that his friend could find the comfort and advice she needed by listening to Love On Air.

A few hours later...

⊹⊱•••《 💗 》•••⊰⊹

From the day Jake was enthralled by the first episode of Love On Air, he knew the podcast had the potential to reach many people and spread messages of love and support. With that in mind, he decided to speak with Wonwoo, a close friend, about the opportunity to join the project as a cameraman. Jake found him at a cafe, where the two could talk in a relaxed atmosphere.

"Hello hyung."

"Hi Jake! What brings you here?"

"I have an amazing proposition for you! Remember the Love On Air podcast I mentioned?"

"I do remember. Some of my hyungs can't stop talking about him either."

"Well, Y/N noona, Jay hyung and Jungwon are looking for a cameraman, and we immediately thought of you."

Wonwoo seemed surprised by the invitation, but his interest was piqued.

"Me? A cameraman? I never considered that before."

"Hyung, I've seen your work with photography and videos. When you're not doing your Twitch lives, you bring an artistic eye and know how to capture special moments with your Youtube shorts and Tiktoks. Plus, your sense of detail and dedication are impressive. I believe you have all the potential to be a great cameraman."

He reflected for a moment, pondering Jake's proposal. He has always enjoyed capturing moments with his camera, but had never considered taking it to a professional level.

"It's an interesting opportunity…but why did you choose me for this role?"

Jake smiled, knowing he had the perfect argument to convince him.

"In addition to your technical skills, you also have a relaxed and welcoming personality. I believe this would be essential in creating a comfortable environment during recordings and helping hosts and guests feel at ease. Besides, having you by our side would be great to strengthen our team's connection."

Wonwoo considered Jake's words and realized that this opportunity could be a way for him to expand his skills and get involved in a meaningful project.

"You convinced me. I'll look forward to being part of such an impactful project."

"Thank you so much, hyung! The next recording is later today. In fact, Jay-hyung, Y/N noona and Jungwon are waiting for you at the Social Communications studio. It would be great if you could join us there! "

"Sure! I'd love to join you."

"Great! Let's all meet there then. I'm sure you'll love the atmosphere and energy of the studio."

With excitement in the air, Jake and Wonwoo worked out the details of meeting at the Social Communications studio. Jake was happy to have one of the friendliest hyungs in Sector 13 on board and looking forward to seeing what the future had in store for Love On Air with this new addition to the team.

⊹⊱•••《 💗 》•••⊰⊹

At the media studio, Y/N, Jay, Jake, and Jungwon met with Wonwoo, who was looking forward to starting his new role as Love On Air's cameraman. Wonwoo held his camera, adjusting it on the tripod as he watched the others prepare for recording.

"I'm so excited for the second episode, guys! First of all, I want to thank Wonwoo oppa, for accepting our invitation to record them. I'm sure you'll do a great job."

"My pleasure in helping you, Y/N. Jake told me about the podcast and I thought it was an awesome idea. I would love to contribute in some way."

"Besides, we also need help with the sound effects. Think you can handle it?"

"Sure, Jay. I was already here helping some Media colleagues with their project last semester and in return they helped me with the sound effects buttons. I'm familiar enough with them to make the episodes even more fun."

"I watched some cuts of your Tik Tok lives, hyung, you have a talent for video editing. Mind if you and noona edit the videos together before uploading them to our YouTube channel?"

"Why not, Jungwon? I like video editing, so I won't take this opportunity for granted. I'm excited to work together with you."

"This is wonderful! I can't wait to see the final result of the edited episodes. I'm sure we'll be an unstoppable team!"

With everything ready, the group positioned themselves in the studio. Wonwoo placed the camera on the tripod and turned it on, making sure everything was perfectly framed. He took control of the sound effects knobs, ready to add a special touch to recordings.

"Camera ready and sound effects prepped. I'll start as soon as they're ready!"

"That's it everyone, Love On Air is back! Whatever happens, remember our mission: to spread love and fun to everyone."

"I agree, Jay hyung. Together we can create a welcoming environment and help people with our advice and stories. I look forward to seeing the positive impact we can make."

"We're all here to bring you something special, Jungwon. And with Wonwoo's help and his talent, I'm sure we'll be a success!"

With a determined smile, she gave him a thumbs up to start recording. Love On Air's second episode was about to begin, with Y/N, Jay and Jungwon working in harmony to bring a podcast full of advice, stories and fun moments to their listeners."

"Recording in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

Wonwoo's camera was rolling, the sound effects were ready to go, and the spirit of collaboration and enthusiasm filled the studio. Love On Air was ready to take the world by storm, one episode at a time.

[Y/N] Hi, everyone! I'm your lovely host, Kim Y/N! I'm so thrilled to have you here. In this 2nd episode, but very special, I open our home to 2 of my best friends that I have a very strong affection for, and that from today, will also be cupids in this journey of love. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Park Jongseong and Yang Jungwon!

*clapping sound effect*

[Jay] Hi everyone, I'm Jay.

[Jungwon] And I'm Jungwon.

[Y/N] Thanks so much for joining us! Do you have any message for our listeners before we begin?

[Jay] We are here to support and listen to each and every one of you. We know it's not always easy, especially when it comes to acceptance. But remember, you are amazing and deserve to be loved and respected, regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity.

[Jungwon] Exactly. We're here to remind you that you are not alone. There's an entire community that supports each other and is willing to welcome you all.

[Y/N] Beautiful! For listeners who are just coming to the live or will hear this episode later, I will ask you 5 questions so that they can get to know you better.

[Jay] I like it! Bring it on!

[Y/N] The 1st question is: What are you most grateful for today?

[Jay] Oh… I am grateful for waking up healthy every day to overcome myself and my hurdles on a daily basis.

[Jungwon] I am grateful to return the love everyone gives me every day. And you, noona?

[Y/N] I think almost the same, you know? I am grateful to have you, Jay, Jake, Sunoo and my Marine Biology bestie Lily from the JYP Institute as best friends! By the way, Jake-ah, Sunoo-ah, Lily-ah, if you're listening now - she blows a kiss to the camera and Jungwon laughs - I love you guys so much! What are you laughing at?

[Jungwon] Nothing, noona. I'm just imagining our listeners asking you how you can say "I love you" so openly to us if you don't date any of us.

[Y/N] I don't see any problem with that, because love is much more than just a platonic or romantic relationship. If you're doing or saying something healthy to make the person you cherish about the most on a day-to-day basis, you're showing your love for them, which brings us to the next question:

[Y/N] What are your 3 love languages? If you can, explain one of them.

[Jay] My 3 languages are acts of service, quality time, and giving and receiving gifts. Nothing satisfies me more than going out with my significant other, buying something she likes or maybe taking her out to eat in a nice place that we both like, because when you're in front of nice people and tasting tasty food, the experience is even more rewarding.

[Y/N] Oh, that reminded me of Jay's high school graduation! Mind if I share it with our listeners?

[Jungwon] Of course not! You can tell them.

[Y/N] After the graduation ceremony, Jay reserved a table for Sunoo and me at a restaurant called Won Grandma Bonga. Remember that, guys?

[Jungwon] How not to remember? The face you made when Jay-hyung included you in the reservation was priceless! - he laughed

[Y/N] Excuse me?! At the time I thought I didn't deserve it! My dynamic with you all was nothing compared to yours together! So much so that to this day I think: Holy shit, how do these nice boys like me so much?

[Jay] Let me jog your memory to make our point. 2021, 2nd grade: When I tested positive for COVID-19 we all had to quarantine for 2 weeks, yet you didn't think twice about planning the best online English tutoring for our class! Even though you can be a little annoying sometimes, there's no shortage of reasons to include you as one of us!

[Y/N] That was cute, thanks! So, as I was saying, listeners, Jay made that reservation, took us to this super fancy restaurant and what I felt when the food arrived and I'm sure you must have felt it too, Jay, it was a pride and sort of a motherly affection to see him so happy and eating well.

[Jungwon] Not you spreading your mama’s agenda to our listeners!

[Y/N] They need to know this! If I like you and have an appreciation for both of you, even for you Jay, I don't mind sharing that motherly love!

[Jungwon] Okay, noona, thanks for the answer, now moving on to the next question:

[Jungwon] What has been your biggest achievement or memorable moment in your life?

[Jungwon] Well, I had the privilege of being well educated, with parents present and studying at a good school in my childhood, but among all my achievements, one of the most memorable for me was representing Gwanak-gu in the Inter Regional Taekwondo Championships. At that time I was the only black belt in the Junior category, fighting athletes up to 3 years older than me and more experienced in the sport.

[Y/N] That was quite an achievement! Who do you owe it to?

[Jungwon] First to my mom and dad for encouraging me. Then my old sister who trained with me at home, and my coach, for my maturity in the sport.

[Y/N] Thanks for the answer. And you Jay, remember your greatest achievement?

[Jay] It may not seem like a big deal to our listeners, but seeing my group's article on the role of fashion in combating racism published by Harvard was a very gratifying accomplishment for me.

[Y/N] Oh my Jay, congratulations! I bet y'all must have been euphoric, huh?

[Jay] Indeed. For a long time, both the art of making clothes and the consumption of big brands have been concentrated in the hands of whites and people from the upper middle class. And my mission at HYBE Uni is to open the doors for more people of color to have a place in the fashion scene.

[Jungwon] This is indeed a brave mission, Jay-hyung, you have our full support. Now, noona, your answer.

[Jay] And please don't let it be SEVENTEEN related.

[Y/N] Oh, Jay, I wish. - she laughed - But my answer is right here! The idea for Love On Air didn't come out of nowhere. Those who studied with us know how I have always been a shoulder to cry on to many of our colleagues.

[Jungwon] When they wanted advice, she almost always had one on the tip of her tongue.

[Jay] And she wasn't shy about giving a hug to anyone who needed it.

[Y/N] So Love On Air came up with this idea of spreading love around the world. And my biggest achievement is being built right now: my best friends, helping me with this life mission!

[Jungwon] We love you too, noona! What's the next question?

[Y/N] I love this one! Who is your real-life hero or heroine? - she snorted - We've discussed this question several times, so we can answer it together on three. 1, 2, 3…

[Y/N, Jay, Jungwon] BTS. - the trio answered in unison

[Y/N] It's both fact and common sense that BTS has helped everyone in some way.

[Jungwon] They encouraged me to work hard for my dreams, no matter how difficult the circumstances are.

[Jay] They taught me to love myself as much as I love everyone else.

[Y/N] And they encouraged me to be a responsible, kind and generous leader, as my actions interfere with the lives of everyone around me.

[Jungwon] And with that, we move on to the last question: What goal do you aim to achieve?

[Jay] Me? Finish the course, release my own collection and, who knows, walk the runway at Paris Fashion Week.

[Jungwon] Good one, hyung! Mine is an internship in Sector 13, I heard that their Veterinary Center is one of the most modern here. And you, noona?

[Y/N] I'm a dreamy woman, so I don't settle for just one dream! In the short term I just want to have fun here at Love On Air and warm everyone's hearts, but in the long term, publish one of the MANY books I write.

[Jay] These are very ambitious dreams, but I'm sure that together, we will achieve this and much more.

[Jungwon] That's the spirit, hyung.

[Y/N] And Love On Air will take a short break. In the meantime, enjoy for the next 20 minutes our special playlist for today's theme: Guiding Lights: Navigating LGBTQIA+ Stories, beginning with Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara.

[Jungwon] See you soon, listeners!

⊹⊱•••《 💗 》•••⊰⊹

Still in the Social Communications studio, Kyungjoo, Jay, Jungwon and Wonwoo were still gathered, excitedly discussing the next minutes after the break and brainstorming their ideas for the next episodes. However, the subject quickly changed when Y/N heard stomach rumbling sounds, so they started joking and teasing each other.

"Are you hungry? We still have time for lunch."

"Good idea, noona! It's on me!"

"No way, Jungwon! I'm the mother of the group! I'll pay!"

"Guys, I'm the guest here, I don't mind paying for everyone."

"No way, Wonwoo hyung!" Jay protested, frowning "If there's anyone who can afford everyone's lunch, it's…"

"Enough!" Y/N yelled, stomping her foot on the ground. "If we stay here all day talking, we're all going to starve to death!"

"But what do we do if no one is willing to open their wallet?"

"You know, Jungwon, when my hyungs are undecided about something we decide to play a game and bet the answer on the results."

"I heard you loud and clear, oppa. I even suggest we settle this like civilized people: playing Rock, Paper, Scissors! The loser pays for everyone."

"I can't believe you guys will…" Jay exclaimed

"I'm on it. Do your best, Y/N!” Wonwoo nodded with a teasing smile

The group prepared for the match, and Y/N led the game with enthusiasm.

"If you don’t put them then you lose; rock, paper, scissors!"

Everyone held out their hands and made their moves: Jay chose Scissors, Wonwoo chose Paper, and Jungwon chose Rock. Y/N in turn chose Scissors.

"Phew, a draw! That was close!"

"Lucky lady." Jay rolled his eyes and smiled

"Then, let's do it again." Jungwon exclaimed

They repeated the game, and this time Jay chose Rock, Wonwoo chose Scissors and Jungwon chose Paper. She, again, got Scissors.

"Yeah Jay, I'm really the lucky lady."

"It looks like I'm going to let you win that easily, noona."

The competition is now fierce. She showed paper, Jungwon showed scissors, and Wonwoo showed rock. Jay, however, also played paper. It was a draw!

"Looks like we're even, Jay. We're going to have to break the tie."

"Of course! Let's go!"

The two took sides again, and this time, Jay suggested a deal.

"This is taking too long! Noona, why don't you play with paper and I'll use scissors? That way we can sort this mess out as soon as possible."

"Sounds fair to me. Let's go!" she replied crossing her fingers back

Fulfilling his end of the bargain, he played scissors, but to his surprise, she chose rock and won the match. Wonwoo and Jungwon screamed euphorically and she laughed at her American friend's scornful expression.

"Thanks for the meal!" she mocked

"That doesn't count! It wasn't part of the deal!"

"It didn't, but I guess you weren't expecting, THIS" she smiled showing her fingers crossed

"You… cheater brat!"

"Competitive, funny and knows how to cause chaos! Jeonghan hyung would love to meet you."

"Hm, maybe, but do you mind introducing me to another day, oppa?"

"No problem."

"Fine, fine. I accept my defeat. Let's all go to the cafeteria for lunch, that way there's more time for us to get back."

The group proceeded excitedly to the cafeteria, where Jay honored his promise and paid for everyone's lunch. The fun banter brought even more togetherness and laughter among the friends, and they enjoyed their lunch together with great excitement.

⊹⊱•••《 💗 》•••⊰⊹

[Jungwon] We're back ! Did you like our sequence of songs? Although we've broken it down for today, you can request your favorites as much as you like, and we won't hesitate to play them on our stream.

[Jay] Now we're going to talk about dealing with difficulties in a religious but homophobic family environment.

[Y/N] That's right, everyone! We received a lot of questions and stories from people who face challenges in coming out to their religious families. We will address these issues and do our best to provide you with realistic advice.

[Audio of listeners sharing their stories]

[Y/N] Thanks to everyone who had the courage to share their stories with us. Now, let's answer some questions related to this subject.

Listener 1: "I feel trapped between my faith and my identity. How can I reconcile the two without feeling guilty?"

[Jay] This is a challenging situation. Remember that your identity and sexuality are part of who you are. Believing in your faith does not mean denying your true essence. Find a safe space where you can explore your faith and identity without guilt. Talk to people who can understand and support you on this journey.

Listener 2: "My family is religious and they always disapprove of me for being queer. How can I deal with this rejection?"

[Jungwon] We're sorry that you are going through this. It's imperative to remember that your family's rejection is not a reflection of your worth as a person. Seek support from LGBTQIA+ communities and support organizations. Having a network of people who understand your journey and can offer emotional support is key.

Listener 3: "I'm afraid to come out to my family because I don't want to be rejected or lose my relationship with them. What should I do?"

[Y/N] We understand your fears and concerns, listener. Your emotional safety and well-being are priorities. If you feel unsure about coming out right now, it's important to find outside support, such as friends or support groups. Remember that you have the right to live your life authentically and that you are never alone. In time, perhaps your family can open their eyes and accept you for who you are.

Listener 4: "How can I find support and community if I don't have anyone around me who understands and accepts my sexual orientation?"

[Jay] For those who feel isolated, there are many ways to find support. Look for online or offline support groups on your daily basis where you can share your experiences and connect with people who understand what you're going through. In addition, there are many LGBTQIA+ organizations that offer emotional support and valuable resources.

[Jungwon] And remember that you don't have to face this alone. If you feel comfortable, talk to trusted friends or even a mental health professional. They can help find solutions and offer emotional support during this process.

[Jay] So we wrap up our 2nd episode of Love On Air. If you liked it, don't forget to follow the podcast on Spotify, Youtube, Twitter or your favorite platform!

[Jungwon] And comment a lot with #LoveOnAir, because we'll get to interact with everyone!

[Y/N] And as always, stay tuned, everyone, cause Love is On Air!

[Jay, Y/N, Jungwon] Bye!

A/N: EVERY DAY is day to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community!
