SECOND LEAD | JEONGCHEOL [✓]

10.

Unable to keep his feelings hidden any longer, Jeonghan decided it was finally time to confess.

One evening, as they were returning from work, he gathered his courage.

"Seungcheol, would you like to go for a late-night walk near the cherry blossoms?"

Jeonghan asked, his voice steady but his heart racing.

Seungcheol, always eager to spend time with Jeonghan, agreed without hesitation.

"Of course, I'd love to."

The night air was cool, and a gentle breeze carried the delicate scent of cherry blossoms. As they walked, the petals swirled around them, creating a magical, romantic atmosphere.

They eventually stopped to admire the moon hanging in the clear sky, its soft light casting a gentle glow on the blossoms.

The beauty of the scene took Jeonghan's breath away, but not as much as the man beside him.

He turned to Seungcheol, his heart pounding in his chest. The moment had arrived. He took a deep breath and began.

"Seungcheol, there's something I need to tell you."

Seungcheol looked at him, a mix of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

Jeonghan continued, his voice soft but steady.

"Seungcheol, I've been trying to drop hints for a long time, but I think it's finally time I confess properly. You aren't my first love, and even you know that. But, the feelings I have for you are different from anything I've ever felt before.

With you, I feel like I'm home. I feel comfortable, and I can be myself without any pretense or facade. I never expected to fall for someone again, especially after everything that happened with Joshua, but here I am, and I'm so grateful that it's you.

Every moment I've spent with you has become a cherished memory. I don't just want to be your friend anymore. I want to be your partner, to share all the ups and downs life throws our way.

I want to be the first person you think of when you're in trouble, the one you turn to for comfort and support. I want to be the reason you smile, the person you wake up next to every morning, the one whose heartbeat you can feel when we're close."

Seungcheol's eyes widened slightly, but he remained silent, letting Jeonghan continue.

Jeonghan took a step closer, the distance between them shrinking.

"Seungcheol, I love you deeply, more than I ever thought possible. My feelings for you have grown into something so profound that I can't keep them to myself any longer. I want to be the person you feel safe around, the one who makes your heart race with just a glance.
