"Why are you watching that?" Nicholas asks. "Fans ship us," Euijoo says quickly. "They think we're in love or something---" "Don't be stupid. That's ridiculous." The trip ends.

"because i make you weak." euijoo should be furious. should shove him away. should press the gun deeper and remind himself that this is war, that this isn't a game, that nicholas is the reason for the blood on his hands, the scars on his body, the weight in his chest that never goes away. but nicholas is so warm. and euijoo is so cold. so he kisses him back.
