Not many moments later someone knocked on the door. Jungsu and Hyeongjun lived close to one another so the way to the other was a short one. "Hyeongjun, please. Open the door." It was Gunil. With shaky steps he complied. When he opened the door, he was immediately pulled into a hug. Only then Hyeongjun noticed how badly he was shaking. Normally Hyeongjun would've overthought the moment - He never wanted to show any emotions like that. What would other people think of him? He didn't want to be seen as weird by other people. But he couldn't bring himself to care about that now.

He was crying freely against Gunil's embrace, sobbing and gasping for air, feeling like the oxygen was being pressed out of his lungs. "Hyeongjun, hey, pssht.." Gunil said as he pulled away, just to look Hyeongjun in the eyes. "It's alright. Come on, breathe with me. In.." Gunil demonstrated a deep breath through the nose, Hyeongjun followed him, still interrupted by many sobs. "And out.." They did that multiple times, focussing on Hyeongjun getting enough air.

They were sitting on the floor in front of the entrance, the younger felt too weak to move anywhere else. His knees were practically useless, so he just slumped to the ground, Gunil supporting him down with his strong arms. "In." They breathed in together. "And out. You're doing good, honey." Hyeongjun shook his head. Well, breathing was a lot easier that moment, but the lingering thoughts didn't want to leave. Gunil seemed to notice that. "Hey, hey, look at me. Look at me."

Hyeongjun did as he was told and tried to analyze Gunil's face, just so he would think of anything else. It seemed to work. Gunil had Hyeongjun's hand in his own, rubbing his thumb over the back of it, trying to calm the younger. "You're doing great.." Gunil whispered, noticing that Hyeongjun's gaze was now fixed on his lips. Not only because he talked, but because of something else, too. As soon as Hyeongjun was able to breathe through normally, he grabbed Gunil's hand that was stroking his own.

With his eyes still on his lips, he couldn't say if he should do the thing he was thinking of doing. He kissed Gunil. And Gunil liked it.
