Finally, we pull away from each other. And suddenly, we come back to our senses.

S: Shit, sorry!! I couldn't resist! - I blurted out covering my mouth with my hand.

WY: Me neither, don't know what came over me! I guess we're really too horny!

S: Damn right, seriously!

WY: Still, you kiss really well - he said with a lascivious look.

S: Shut up! - I said completely embarrassed.

WY: Are you panicking? Come on, it's just a kiss - he chuckled.

S: What do you mean "just a kiss"?? We're friends Wooyoung, it's super awkward!

He burst into laughter with his genuine and contagious laughter. It makes me let out a timid laugh.

S: What? - I asked chuckling.

WY: You're overthinking it. The kiss didn't mean anything, we just felt like it at the moment.

S: Aaah so it's like we did each other a favor?

WY: Exactly.

S: So, are you up for giving me a blowjob as a favor?

WY: SAN!! - he said bursting into laughter.

S: I'm kidding!! - I laughed hiding my face, extremely embarrassed by my own joke.

WY: NO WAY!?

We continued to laugh for a little while, taking time to recover from my embarrassing joke.

S: Well, it's not all but we're missing half of the movie.

WY: True, and they're about to reach the floating island.

S: Don't spoil it!

WY: You've seen this movie so many times, are you dumb or what?

S: Yeah that's right.

We focused on the movie again, without doing anything silly. Once it was over, we got ready to go to bed.

S: Can I turn off the light? - I asked lying in bed.

WY: Yep.

I pressed the switch, plunging us only halfway into darkness. We left the patio door open to let in a bit of fresh air.

The soft light from the street penetrated through the blinds, faintly illuminating the room with an orange glow.

S: Don't you give hugs anymore when you sleep?

WY: You said "no physical contact" so I'm following orders. I wouldn't want us to kiss again.

We both let out a laugh at his remark.

S: It' good, I think my need for a kiss has been more than satisfied - I chuckled. But I really need a hug... - I continued letting a hint of sadness creep into my voice.

WY: Oh... Come here - he said squeezing me tenderly, sensing my change in mood.

S: I miss Hyunjin... His hugs were so comforting. Even when I didn't need comforting I felt so good in his arms. But now that I really need it I can't have it anymore...

I think the kiss that Wooyoung and I exchanged earlier brought back my melancholy about not being with Hyun.

WY: Look San, I'm gonna give you the most comforting hug in the world. So from now on, you'll miss my hugs instead. But unlike Hyunjin, I can give you as many as you want every time we see each other again! - he said holding me a little tighter.

I remained silent, touched by what he just said. I focused on the feeling his arms provided. It's true that it's comforting. Really comforting. I think it's one of the best hugs I've ever received.

My face is pressed against his chest and his is buried in my hair.

My negative thoughts slowly vanished. My heart calmed down. I feel better. I feel good. Nestled against his body, I feel safe. I feel like everything will be okay.

A feeling I hadn't experienced for several months.

S: Thank you... - I murmured in an almost inaudible whisper.

In response, he pressed his head a little harder against mine.

And we fell asleep slowly, comforted by this embrace

We woke up at 11 am he next day, so we didn't have much time to do anything before Wooyoung left to catch his train.

I accompanied him to the subway station and we said our goodbyes.

WY: See you this summer!

S: Yeah, let's keep in touch!

The subway doors closed and it resumed its journey on the tracks, carrying Wooyoung away.

I stood there for a few moments, lost in thought. It was an intense weekend, so much happened.

It's a bit like I just returned to reality. It's strange, when I'm with Wooyoung I always teleport to another world. A world where I feel truly at ease and everything else disappears.

I turned around and headed home. I feel a bit empty now that Woo's gone.

I spent the rest of the day quietly and once evening came, I realized that, for the first time in two months, I hadn't thought about Hyunjin once. Instead, I spent the day reminiscing about my weekend with Wooyoung.

Our laughter, his confession, our kiss, his hug.

I can feel a little crackling sensation in the pit of my stomach. A pleasant crackling that had become foreign to me since my breakup.

Without questioning it, I enjoyed this moment, relished this sensation that makes me feel like I finally want to move on.

From now on, it won't be Hyunjin's hugs that I miss. It will be Wooyoung's. And I only have to wait a month before I can taste them again.

Just a little month.

And I will feel truly at ease again.

Conclusion of Chapter 34: Wooyoung and San did each other a favor.
