It's because they didn't want to burden their mother, it is said at one point I can't remember but they came to live with his dad because they want their dad to suffer because of them (probably kids' thoughts but make sense in a way because for one he and his lover can't be together openly because of them)
Oooh :/ hmm ok that's rather cruel. I get it on some level, on the "the wound is fresh and they were kids", but deciding to stay with their father so he can't be with the person he loves is a biiiit much. Plus a mother shouldn't, usually woundn't want to be left by their kids. All a bit odd. But it doesn't change the fact that the brothers BOTH aren't kids anymore and now in a similar situation and now what's it like to love someone like that. And they're even gay. Could it please be made a short storyline were they apologize and let those two be happy. That's so sad :(
I'm also hoping the tensions and problems would be resolved between the father and sons, the series isn't ending anytime soon so let's wait~
Uhm do we know what went down with Ken's family. Like why he & his brother have not the best relationship with him. Like I think I remember it originally was bc he "turned out" gay and stood by the man he loved, so I guess he left his wife for him. But then why do they boys live with him. And by now they are grown up and both gay themselves, so shouldn't they be at an understanding point. Plus their dad seems pretty nice and sweet and I wished he and his lover could properly be together, which they seemed didn't so far, most probably bc of his sons. And I feel sorry for them :(
