A few weeks after the incident, Jiyong figured he could try to at least hug Youngbae. He wrapped his arms around Youngbae's waist, Youngbae instantly tensed up.

"Not now babe." He said angerily.

Jiyong immediately let go.

This kept happening, for a few more months. Eventually, Jiyong was getting impatient. One day, Youngbae came home from practice, Jiyong had been up waiting.

"Hi babe." Youngbae said quietly

"What?" Jiyong said harshly.

Youngbae looked at him, confused.

"Uh..are you okay?"

"No. I'm not! You clearly don't want to be around me anymore. If you don't want to be with me anymore all you had to do was say so." Jiyong said

Youngbae looked at Jiyong, shocked.

"What? But baby I love you. I want to be with you! It's just..." He said, starting to cry.

"I'm.. sensitive right now...why can't you understand that?! Maybe we shouldn't be together, I'm sorry I ruined relationships for you." Youngbae said coldly, slamming the bedroom door.

He cried himself to sleep that night. A few hours later:

"No! Stop please!" Youngbae yelled

Suddenly, he woke up to cold water being poured on him. He jumped up, then noticed a very worried look on Jiyong's face.

"Baby? Are you okay?" Jiyong asked

Youngbae shook his head, he was shaking, and started crying.

"I-i'm sorry...I know you've been feeling neglected lately...m-maybe you should-" Youngbae started, looking at Jiyong through watery eyes.

"No baby. I'm not Leaving you. Okay? Youngbae, I love you with all my heart and soul. I know you don't...want to be touched. And I'm so sorry I've been impatient lately. But please know that I would never even dream of hurting you. You're my baby boy, I'll do anything to help you through this. I love you." Jiyong said calmly.

Finally, after at least six months, Youngbae finally hugged Jiyong. He hugged him as tightly as he could and started sobbing.

"I love you so much. You are the best person I've ever met Kwon Jiyong. You are the most understanding, kind hearted person ever. Please, stay with me..." Youngbae replied.

Jiyong smiled a huge smile and hugged back.

"Forever baby. Forever." He whispered.

After a few minutes, Youngbae changed into dry, warm clothes and cuddled up next to Jiyong on the couch. They watched movies until they fell asleep, holding hands. Youngbae was leaning on Jiyong's shoulder, Jiyong was resting his head on top of Youngbae's head.
