The Last Welcome - KNK Youjin × Heejun

#4

"Should we go out on a date?" I asked him one morning, sitting across each other at the benches in a nearby park.

Heejun pouted his lips. His breath visible in the icy morning air. "Why... would we go on a date?"

"Because I like you." And I did. Much.

He was someone I could open up to. Someone who I had grown affectionate to.

I wanted to give our 'something' a name finally.

Maybe a relationship.

Heejun laughed, his eyes crinkling up warmly. Oblivious to my thoughts, or acting like he was. "That's funny."

"What's funny?" I asked.

He smiled, shaking his head. "Your joke. Of course."

Of course.

I licked my lips, forcing a smile upon them. Looking down at my brown boots. A little disappointed.

"Oh yes. My joke..." I barely recognized my own voice.
