Jihoon opened his eyes when he felt like there's someone's presence. And it's no other than Choi Hyunsuk. Jihoon stares at Hyunsuk's head on his bed, on an empty space of Jihoon's bed. Jihoon grabbed his phone that he put on his left. It's already past 4 am. It seems like Hyunsuk just finished showering; seeing how his hair still looked kind of damp. Did he just arrive home? Hyunsuk sat on the floor in Jihoon's room with his head on Jihoon's bed. Probably he just fell asleep. Jihoon slowly got up. Trying not to wake Hyunsuk up. But his attempt failed when Hyunsuk flinched and quickly sat up straight.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sleep here. I was just planning to look at your face before I went to bed. But it seems like I fell asleep. I'm so sorry. I didn't -" Hyunsuk's words stopped when Jihoon quickly sealed his lips with his own.

"Welcome back home," Jihoon said. Hyunsuk blinks a few times. Still processing what just happened. Jihoon scooted to the left, leaving enough space on the right side of the bed for Hyunsuk. He patted the empty space on his right. "Come here,"

Hyunsuk was a little hesitant but he slowly moved to lie on Jihoon's bed. Jihoon put his right arm below Hyunsuk's head and pull Hyunsuk closer to him.

"Did you just arrive?" Jihoon asked.

"Yeah. I was home around 3 am," Hyunsuk said.

"You've worked hard today," Jihoon kissed the top of Hyunsuk's head before he hugged the shorter guy. Jihoon stared at the wall. He suddenly realized how Hyunsuk had been acting around him. It seems like Hyunsuk is always trying so hard not to do things that Jihoon said he didn't like. And if he has done it even if it's unintentionally, Hyunsuk will keep on apologizing. Jihoon felt bad about it. Like Jihoon himself, words that someone he liked told him will leave scars in his heart, it probably the same to Hyunsuk. "You're not forbidden to sleep here, Hyunsuk-ah. I'm sorry that I said those things to you before. I've been treating you harshly because I wanted to build a wall between us. And so I won't get hurt if someday you decide to leave me. It seems like I hurt you so badly,"

"No. No. You have a point. You deserve to be mad at me. I really didn't think about your feelings at all. And you're right that it's your personal space and I shouldn't do as I wish every single time," Hyunsuk said. "I just want to cherish you,"

"You know what? Now I really want to keep you with me for the rest of my life. I'm going to cherish you. I'll work hard to be a better person for you. I'll treat you better. I'll try my best to make you happy," Jihoon said. "Just stay with me if you're still happy being with me. But if one day you changed your heart, just tell me. I'll try to change for you. But if there's nothing we can try to fix it anymore, you can leave. I wanted you to be happy. You deserved better. No. You deserve the best. But if being with me, still make you happy, I'll be happy to be right by your side,"

Hyunsuk didn't say anything. Jihoon thought that Hyunsuk probably already fell asleep. But suddenly, Hyunsuk sobs.

"Why? Why? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jihoon asked. He moved downward to look at Hyunsuk's face.

"I- I just. I don't know. Hearing your words just makes me feel emotional. I've been waiting for you to finally turn to me, to look at me. I thought I'll just be glad if you finally accept my feeling. But no. It's just too overwhelming. I always feel like crying whenever you say words like that. It's the exact same feeling that I've felt for you for years. I've worked so hard that I can finally see you again. I tried my best to make you notice me. And I just want to see you happy. But when you say that you want to make me happy, I'm just more happy than I should and that makes me cry without even being able to control it. I'm sorry," Hyunsuk said.

"I love you, Hyunsuk-ah," Jihoon said.

"Me too. I love you too," Hyunsuk said while sobbing. Jihoon chuckled.
