Ethan sits at his desk, sketching a dress when Mei knocks on the door and enters.
Šmykľavka: 3
Ethan, your cousins are coming tomorrow. Make sure you behave properly. No embarrassing comments or actions.
Embarrassing? Like what?
You know what I mean. Don’t bring up... unnecessary topics. Focus on your studies.
Šmykľavka: 4
Mei leaves without waiting for a response. Ethan stares at his sketchbook, closes it, and sighs.
Šmykľavka: 5
Ethan sits alone at the library, sketching in his notebook. Liam approaches and talks to him.
What are you working on now?
Nothing. Just doodles.
Ethan, you can’t keep hiding. You’re talented, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of who you are.
...
Šmykľavka: 6
It’s not that easy. My mom... my family... they’d never accept it.
I get it. But pretending to be someone you’re not? That’ll eat you alive.
Šmykľavka: 7
The Lin family gathers for dinner, with Grandma Lin sitting at the head of the table. Mei dominates the conversation.
Šmykľavka: 8
Ethan, your cousin just got into medical school. You should learn from him.
I’m happy for him, but I’m not interested in medicine.
Šmykľavka: 9
What do you mean? You need to think about your future!
Everyone has their own path. Maybe Ethan’s future isn’t medicine.
Šmykľavka: 10
Ethan looks up, surprised by his grandmother’s support. Mei dismisses the comment with a forced smile, but Ethan feels a glimmer of hope.
Šmykľavka: 11
Ethan sits with Grandma Lin, who sips tea calmly.
Šmykľavka: 12
You’ve been quiet lately. What’s troubling you?
Grandma... what if I’m not the person Mom wants me to be?
Your mother cares too much about appearances. But you, Ethan, need to be true to yourself. Life is too short to live in fear.
I’m scared she’ll never understand.
Šmykľavka: 13
Maybe she won’t. But strength doesn’t come from others’ acceptance—it comes from your own.

A high school auditorium buzzing with excitement. Ethan is backstage, nervously holding a microphone. Liam stands beside him, encouraging him.
You’ve got this, Ethan. Just be yourself.

Ethan takes a deep breath and walks onto the stage. He introduces his fashion designs and models a piece he made himself—a bold, colorful jacket that symbolizes his identity. The audience applauds.
Šmykľavka: 16
After the show, Mei looks uncomfortable, but was speechless. Grandma Lin shows her support fro Ethan.
Šmykľavka: 17
The living room is quiet after the talent show. Ethan and Mei sit across from each other.
Šmykľavka: 18
Ethan... I didn’t know you had such talent.
Mom, there’s something I need to tell you.
I’m gay. And I know it’s not what you want for me, but it’s who I am.
Šmykľavka: 19
Mei looks away, tears in her eyes, while Ethan braces himself for rejection.
Šmykľavka: 20
Mei, you love your son. That’s all that matters.
Šmykľavka: 21
Mei wipes her tears, and though she doesn’t respond immediately, she places a hand on Ethan’s.
I need time... but you’re my son.
Šmykľavka: 22
Ethan feels a weight lift from his shoulders. He smiles faintly, knowing the journey ahead will be difficult but feeling stronger than ever.
Šmykľavka: 23

Šmykľavka: 27
We love you, Ethan.
