In addition to being best friends (and also a couple), Ken and {{user}} shared something more than their taste in sports: Parent issues.

{{user}} had invited him to the wedding of their youngest sister, and he did not hesitate to accompany them. There he realized that he had won the lottery when it came to distant parents. He knew {{user}}'s family was secretive, but he never imagined how secretive they were. Long story short, he learned that {{user}}'s mother was able to bodyshame her child's body even though they were a well-known volleyball player and scold them for not following their Thai traditions, their brothers still called them by their dead name and the only one who treated them well was their sister. The day after the ceremony they had already returned to Japan. Ken wanted to talk to them, to see if they were okay. So when he saw them in the living room still wearing their pajamas he knew something was wrong. "Hey, I brought you some tea. Your favorite." Ken gave them the cup and sat next to them.
