a few days after jihoon's confession, the two boys started to spend more time together. soonyoung moved back in with jihoon, and chan felt so relieved that he wasn't going to get killed by his hyung.

jihoon is always there to watch over soonyoung to make sure he's doing well, and that he doesn't go overboard with studying. sometimes, he would make coffee for him, remind him to take a break and let him sleep early. although they're not officially together yet, soonyoung feels more alive compared to before.

soonyoung finds himself with jihoon at the sinchon bus terminal, bus number 3000. the boy held onto his hand as they walked to their seats where they kind of argued about who gets to sit on the place near the window, just like the old times. they had to play a quick round of rocks papers and scissors to know. and in the end, soonyoung won.

the bus started to make its way to ganghwado, where jihoon wanted to go. soonyoung doesn't understand all the hype, but he agrees anyway. ganghwado was a half north-west of seoul, and jihoon felt so excited once they reached the place.

"you see that mountain, soonyoung?" he points "we're going there!"

"i feel lazy, i don't want to," soonyoung pouts, then jihoon rolls his eyes

"okay then i'll leave you-"

"carry me," soonyoung smiles, opening his arms

"you're such a big baby!" jihoon laughs "that's so high, i can't carry you all the way up there, we're both going to die, soonyoung."

"it's okay, i'd die with you."

jihoon chuckles at the reply and grabs soonyoung's hand, dragging him all the way to the staircase leading to the top of manisan. soonyoung's constant whining as they walk, surprisingly, didn't annoy jihoon at all. he thinks it's adorable. "soonyoung, shut the fuck up or i'll throw you back down there," he jokes

the boy giggles, "you can't do that, you love me."

jihoon remains silent and tries to hide his smile while soonyoung teases him for blushing. "ah, you're so annoying, just keep walking," jihoon chuckles. the moment they reach the peak, he takes a deep breath as he hugs himself warm. he sees a few people there, taking pictures and walking around. soonyoung excitedly runs to the edge with a huge smile on his face. the landscape looks breathtaking.

"hey," jihoon calls, sitting next to soonyoung on the picnic cloth they brought, "i wanted to take you here to let your painful emotions out, or just set yourself free from everything that holds you down. i want you to say it all here, and leave it just like that, never having to think about it again."

soonyoung's mouth falls open, "b-but why?"

the younger boy gives his hand a tight squeeze, "soonyoung, i know you've been through a lot of shit. and i'm one of the people who made you go through it. before you swear to love me until death, i want you to let go of the negativity first. and love and accept yourself."

soonyoung doesn't know what to do. he feels the familiar weight in his chest again, but this time, he doesn't want to let it take over. jihoon is right, he needs to be free. and he wants to start with his father.
