That’s where their relationship finally began. After such a long struggle within himself to deny the unnatural feeling, it turned out to be requited. It was a wonderful feeling, finally being able to express how he feels for the lovely maknae.

Is it that he didn’t express it enough when they were together that he’s slipping away now?

Did he not love enough?

Or has he always been inadequate?

Has the maknae never really been satisfied with him?

Has this been an empty act for him all along?

There’s no way he can bring himself to ask, accuse, the younger beside him.

Knowing would hurt more than assuming.

No.

Both would hurt.

Everything hurts.
