"I think I like you."

My heart stopped for a moment, and then began to bash rapidly against my chest.

The words lingered in my head. I couldn't even process them correctly.

Han likes me. Do I like him? Do I like boys?

The answer should be, no. I don't like Han like that, and I don't like boys. I'm perfectly straight.

But my heart is telling me otherwise. I like Han, and as weird as it seems, I'm pretty sure I do like boys.

I just can't. I need time to think. I'm confused.

"Han..." I spoke quietly, my voice tired and faltering.

"I'm really sorry. I just...I don't like you...in that way." I looked down, unable to bear the sorrow and hopelessness splayed on his face.

I'm so sorry, my love.

"Oh...yeah. That's alright, Minho." he replied quietly. I could hear the disappointment in his voice, as much as he tried to hide it, which hurt me even more.

"Promise this won't change anything between us? I don't wanna make things awkward." I looked up from my lap to see his pinky extended out towards me, earning a slight smile on my face.

Gosh, he's so cute.

I gladly took his pinky in mine and nodded.

"Friends?" I tilted my head, even though it hurt to say it.

"Friends." he agreed, nodding as well.

Hyunjin and Yejun snuggled up in bed with each other, engulfing themselves in the cozy sheets after a long night out on the deck. They had already turned the lights off.

"Today was so tiring." Yejun laughed, yawning in the process.

She rolled over to meet Hyunjin in the eyes, both of her hands resting under her head.

"I agree." Hyunjin maintained eye contact with her, his voice sounding low and tired.

"How has the trip been for you?" Yejun suddenly asked. Hyunjin thought about his answer for a bit.
