That night, Geonhak decided to go out to meet Dongju a little bit early. He couldn't wait to see him! It had been a month since he had figured out his feelings for the boy but he still hadn't said anything. He knew he would just panic. It was already hard for him to see Dongju without freaking out. But even as he kept quiet, his feelings for the younger began to grow and he didn't know how much longer until they overflowed. He wanted to tell Dongju that he liked him but he couldn't get over his fear. As he walked outside, he immediately noticed how Dongju looked particularly cute in the outfit he was wearing. He had on a light blue jean jacket, a white shirt, dark blue jeans, a black beret, and short black boots with laces. He walked over to the wall and jumped up, sitting beside Dongju as they began talking like usual. After they had been talking for about an hour and a half, Dongju looked up at Geonhak and said
"Hyung, could I say something?"
Geonhak looked over at him. He was of course going to let Dongju say whatever he needed to say. He just hoped it wasn't anything bad.
"Of course." He said, focusing his attention on the small boy.
Dongju seemed to argue with himself for a second before saying
"I..I have...feelings...for you." Dongju said quickly, looking away and squeezing his eyes shut tightly. "I understand if you don't feel the same way about me and I don't expect you to return my feelings but... the thing is... I love you. I've loved you for a while. I just never had the courage to say anything. Please don't be mad." He said this all very quickly and never once looked at Geonhak, too scared of his reaction.
Geonhak sat completely still, letting it sink in. Dongju loved him. He couldn't believe it. After his break up he never thought about anyone else loving him since he just didn't think it was possible. He was shocked at the words that came out of Dongju's mouth and he didn't know how to respond so he just sat there in silence.
