Seungcheol held his hand out. He didn’t even think about it. It was a reflex now and Jeonghan accepted it without reservation. It was a silent signal between the two. The sign of safety and reassurance.
Seungcheol squeezed Jeonghan’s hand tight as he pulled him from the bed and out into the living room. Jeonghan looked around for the kitten and smiled when he saw the fat little baby waddling after them.
