"I need to talk to you." They said at the same time again.

"Sorry, you can start."

"No, please, start."

"Ah, Bin!"

The boy let out a soft chuckle and replied "We can say it at the same time again, but intentionally this time."

"Okay. One... Two... Three!"

"I don't like you."

"The kiss was a mistake."

The girl started laughing out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Asked Bin with a smile because Jane had infectious laughter. "I have no idea what you've said."

"But I got you. The kiss was a mistake, I wanted to say the same."

"Really?"

"Yes, Bin. You're a nice guy but I think we were emotional and got carried away."

Bin exhaled.

"What a relief to hear it from you. The situation was so silly."

"I know." Jane started laughing again.

"Friends?"

"Friends."

They said it, grappling with little fingers as if they started everything all over again.

At that moment, the members, Jun, and the twins' closest friend Sungho came out of the ward so those two drew back and Bin rushed to hug Jane's brother.

"Hey! You can't do it that tightly," said Jun whose ribs were hurt.

"Ah, sorry," replied Bin as he let the boy out of his embrace.

Eunwoo, by the way, was still jealous and the fact that Bin was hugging someone didn't make the situation better.

'-'

"What was that in the hospital?"

"What do you mean?"

"You and Jane."

"What about us?"

"About us?"

"Yeah."

"You're a couple?"

Bin, who was reading something on his phone, rose his gaze to Eunwoo, who was cutting vegetables and was standing with his back to the sitting guy.

The older boy turned around to put the food on the table and asked again. "Are you two a couple?"

"Are you jealous?"

"I'm not."

"You are."

Their eyes locked on each other as Bin slowly stood up. Eunwoo was making steps back as slowly as Bin was approaching him.

"Are you jealous?" Repeated Bin.

Eunwoo was confused. There was nowhere else to retreat, so he rested against the kitchen cabinet.

There were millimeters apart between their noses and no one took their eyes off each other.

"Bin-" started Eunwoo as he narrowed his eyes because he felt Bin getting even closer.

But the younger man took a step back, turned around, and then headed to his room.

"Do you like girls? Are you bi?"

Bin froze for a second, slightly turned his head, and looked at Eunwoo with his peripheral vision.

"No." The answer was dry, as if the boy regretted emotions or, on the contrary, tried not to show his irritation.

Before going to bed Eunwoo couldn't help but think about Bin, his kiss, their break... are they still on a break?

"We won't be together, will we?"

"What?"

"I saw your kiss with Jane. You said you weren't into girls."

"I didn't lie."

"Bin, I don't understand then." Dongmin's voice sounded more worried, he, without noticing himself, drew his eyebrows together and raised them.

Bin let out a sigh. He was also confused about his actions.

"It was a mistake." And Bin told Eunwoo everything that happened between him and Jane.

"Okay, even if I believe you, what does it mean for us? Will we be a couple again? Is it the way you try to figure it out, by kissing someone el-"

Their lips crushed as Bin quickly got up from the bed and approached irritated Eunwoo. The younger boy put his hands on another boy's waist and pushed him closer without breaking the kiss. By then Eunwoo was already lost in his thoughts and his brain couldn't think of anything but Bin's sweet lips.

In the end, they had to stop kissing but they kept looking into each other's eyes.

"Bin?" Carefully said Eunwoo with a questioning tone as if he wanted to say more.

"I'm sorry. I love you. And when I say it, I mean it. I really do. With my whole heart."

"I- Are-" Eunwoo stuttered and was blinking rapidly. "Are we still on a break after everything you've just said?"

"If you need time-"

"I don't."

"Then let's think it was the end of the break."

"But let's not start counting from the beginning again."

"What?"

"Our date. It's still June 1. Last year, obviously."

"Okay, as you say."

Eunwoo smiled and kissed his boyfriend again.

"We've been together for 10 months."

"Your longest relationship." Bin scoffed.

"You're not in the right position to laugh at me. It's your first relationship."

Bin pushed Eunwoo away and left the room and the one who was pushed kept laughing out loud. The older always has an advantage.

The 1st of June, 2018.

"Morning, sunshine. It's our anniversary today!"

"Good morning," answered Bin as Eunwoo kissed his cheek.

"Let's go somewhere after our practice."

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to eat something really delicious," said Eunwoo and put his hand on Bin's waist as he moved closer.

"Ahem..." Bin felt a little bit shy and confused. Even though now they've been sharing the same bed, Eunwoo's touches felt weird. They've never slept without shorts or pants and a shirt. At the beginning of their relationship, when Eunwoo lay down with Moonbin without a shirt, the latter couldn't look at him at all. It has always been like that since Bin fell for Eunwoo. The older always looked so pure and innocent to him.

"What are you thinking about?" The voice rose Bin from his meditation.

"It's nothing."

"Then let's go to eat in the evening and then go to the bar."

"I'm okay with it."
