#.. TWENTY-SEVEN

"We need to talk." was Gunil's reason why he wanted Hyeongjun to follow them to Jungsu's after their meeting at the café two days after Hyeongjun's panic attack. The three of them were sitting on the latter's bed, looking at one another. They were curious about what Gunil's topic was, but that cleared itself pretty fast. "I've been thinking about that for a long time now.. and uh- I decided to talk about it. I know you guys are in a relationship but.." The two were looking at him, both with a smile and curious eyes. Like two little sheep.

"At first, I was only crushing on Jungsu." Gunil started explaining, his eyes shifted over to Jungsu, who smiled warmly at him. "I hated myself for liking you. You know, I thought I was straight. Then it upset me that we don't live in the same country.. But I couldn't help but fall in love with you.."

They thought he was finished but as soon as Jungsu opened his mouth to say something, Gunil continued, this time looking at Hyeongjun. "But then... Our first sleepover happened. I was crying over you, Jungsu, and you, Hyeongjun, comforted me. I've never slept so comfortably before like I did in your arms, and this made me question several things, too. I knew polyamory exists, I mean I knew you are poly. But I was still in denial, you know I barely accepted that I like boys at this point. Then you kissed me that day. And now I'm pretty sure, that I like you two.."

His confidence faded as soon as he stopped talking. Why did he bring this topic up? It's just the middle of November, Gunil was staying until June. If he'd be rejected, he'd still have to live with Jungsu. And Gunil would rather die than be remembered of the embarrassment. But it never came to the embarrassing part, because Jungsu started talking. "Gunil, you must know.." The elder between the two started. "Even though I thought it was obvious that I like you back, I want to tell you that directly. First of all, I'm glad you could embrace who you are. Second of all, we've often included you in our recent conversations."

What was that supposed to mean? "And we came to the conclusion that we should get together. If that's what you want, too, of course." Was he dreaming? Gunil looked at the two, speechless. Was this actually happening? He nodded, lost. And realized that it was actually happening when Jungsu pulled him closer to capture his lips. Gunil melted into the kiss, pulling Jungsu closer by his soft cheeks. He waited so long and now where his dream came true, he couldn't believe it was actually happening. Jungsu's lips tasted like the sweet strawberry cake the three ate before returning back to Jungsu's.

"Okay, y'all.. Chill out. Trios never work, hah" The irony in Hyeongjun's voice was obvious, also the sad face was just a playful addition to his sentence. As the two elder parted their lips, they immediately noticed the youngest among them pouting. And without even talking about it, they both threw themselves on him, cuddling him like some teddybear. Finally. All of them had a big smile plastered on their lips as they finally found a comfortable position. "I love you" Jungsu smiled and cuddled Hyeongjun tighter, wanting to feel 100% of him. He received a kiss on his head by the younger and a kiss on his cheek by the elder as a response.

This was the perfect moment the three of them have been dreaming of.
