#.. THIRTEEN

At night Gunil couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about the boy that slept to his left, Jungsu. His singing voice was so sweet and clean, leaving Gunil wondering whether Jungsu took singing classes before. Just thinking back made him feel all warm and fuzzy. He was certain that he did catch feelings for Jungsu. But why? And how? He wasn't queer, how was that possible? And why exactly Jungsu, and not some random boy in the US? Gunil didn't know how he ended up crying but he did. And apparently he woke up the person to his right; Hyeongjun. They didn't allow Hyeongjun and Jungsu to sleep next to each other in case they would- erm- do certain things together. The three could be glad that they were able to sleep on Jooyeon's bed. Jiseok and Seungmin were both sleeping on the huge couch and Jooyeon had to sleep on his beanbag. Hm.

"Is everything okay?" he asked softly, his voice even quieter than it usually was. It was so comforting. Gunil nodded and wiped away his tears. He obviously wouldn't want to rant about Jungsu to his literal boyfriend. The room was illuminated by just the street lantern outside, roughly lightening up Hyeongjun's facial features - He looked genuinely worried for Gunil. "No, nothing's okay; You were crying. Did something happen?" This time Gunil shook his head, and just as he reached up to wipe away his tears again, someone elses hand already laid on his cheek. Hyeongjun's. His thumbs delicately caressed Gunil's soft skin on his cheekbones, smearing the salty tears over his cheeks. "I promise, I won't tell anyone. And I won't judge. I'm telling you, you'll feel better after telling me." Should he risk it? The elder decided to fuck it, knowing that Hyeongjun was okay with Jungsu having other lovers anyway.

That's where he started his rant. "It's about Jungsu.. I'm so overwhelmed the last days, it's driving me crazy. You know, I'm supposed to be straight, but he- he-" Gunil was at a loss of words. What could he say so he possibly wouldn't sound weird? Hyeongjun nodded, understanding everything he was told. Normally, every other lover would start to get jealous but Hyeongjun got happy. To know, that someone knew how to love Jungsu, too, made him feel excited and warm. Jungsu deserved all that love.

Gunil kept crying about how terrified he is about having a crush on someone, as he never even had a crush on a girl. He cried about how much he doesn't want to return home, even though just a month passed. "He- he makes me feel something I never felt and I think I got addicted to this feeling.. Hyeongjun, I feel bad for saying this to you, as you're literally his boyfriend, but I think I have a crush on Jungsu."

Hyeongjun just glanced at him, lightly smiling as he ran his hand through Gunil's soft locks. "It's okay, don't cry.." The younger shuffled closer, wrapping his hands around the other's athletic body. Gunil used that opportunity to cry into Hyeongjun's shoulder, until he eventually calmed down. They fell asleep in that position, Gunil comfortably cuddled against Hyeongjun's chest.
