Yongguk turned his body to face Jongup. 

He looked at Jongup's sleepy face. His eyes closed and his breathing steady. Yongguk smiled and pulled Jongup into his chest. 

Jongup whined a little from being woken up. 

"Jongup-ah," Yongguk whispered.

"Hmm?" Jongup hummed in response.

"Do you still want to know why I like Tigger so much?" Yongguk asked.

Jongup opened his eyes and looked up at Yongguk as best he could.

"If you'll tell me," Jongup said, his eyes wide.

Yongguk smiled a bit and rustled Jongup's hair. 

"Well, I use to like Tigger a lot when I was little and one day I went to a sleepover at a friend's house, bringing my favorite Tigger plush along with me. While I was there, my house caught on fire with my family inside it, and the smoke alarms didn't go off for some reason. They were taken to the hospital but they ended up dying anyway. The only thing I had was Tigger during that time, that's why I like Tigger so much, he kept me strong when I couldn't be," Yongguk told Jongup trying not to cry again, but Jongup was crying. Yongguk looked down with surprise. Yongguk wiped away Jongup's tears. "Hey, why are you crying?"

"Because that's so sad," Jongup said, as another tear fell down his cheek. "What happened to the Tigger plush?"

"I threw it away," Yongguk said simply.

"YOU WHAT?!" Jongup exclaimed sitting up and staring at Yongguk with wide eyes.

"I threw it away," Yongguk repeated.

"How could you just throw it away?!" Jongup asked not believing that Yongguk could just throw away his Tigger if he loved it so much. 

"Well, he was the last of my family, the last of everything I wanted to put behind me, so I threw it away and grew up," Yongguk told him and sat up. He locked eyes with Jongup.

Jongup's face tinted red. This time Yongguk's eyes were kind and loving. 

Yongguk gently held onto the side of Jongup's warm face. He bit his lip and glanced down at his pink lips. 

Before Jongup knew it, Yongguk's lips were against his and they were locked in a kiss. Jongup closed his eyes, feeling Yongguk's lips on his. He moved his hand to the back of Yongguk's neck, as their lips collided. Yongguk's kiss was gentle and filled with love. 

Yongguk let go of the kiss and locked eyes with Jongup again. He smiled slightly.

"It's okay, cause you're my Tigger now," Yongguk told the blushing boy.
