"while loving someone deeply gives you courage." 

     Lee Jihoon rarely shows affection, but he wants Soonyoung to know how much he cares for him. He knows how he rejects mostly any sort of affection from Soonyoung, even if he wants him to continue. He hopes he continues. He can talk to him about what's bothering him, his worries, his fears. Soonyoung listens so attentively and provides comfort to him. The other tries to help if possible. He also tells Jihoon his worries. He also listens to him attentively and tries to help. Jihoon could talk to other members, but it is not the same. Soonyoung just feels so....trustworthy?......reliable? He does not know what it is that draws him to Soonyoung.

      Or, maybe he does?

     During the late nights in the studio room, the other would visit, giving encouraging words, telling him he is doing well, to not doubt himself. He helps by just sitting there really. He brings him snacks. When he falls asleep, with him still by his side, and even when he would have left before, he would wake up, with a blanket on him. A usual gesture, but he appreciates it nonetheless then his other actions. He would wake him up sometimes, insisting that he sleeps in his bed. Normally, he would be very annoyed because he was woken up, but when he sees it is Soonyoung, he does not mind as much.

     During the times the other would look at him, he would slightly fix his hair, then rub his hand through it. An action which earns Soonyoung a hit on the arm, along with poking his face.

     When he stays with him during his practices, and when he comes to him when he is practicing alone, or is alone in general....

     Even when he's annoying, which happens often, Jihoon still enjoys being with him.

     The simple things, the small things, his actions, Jihoon appreciates. And loves. Jihoon loves Soonyoung. He may have just noticed how much he does, but he does a lot. He hopes Soonyoung knows that. He hopes he does not forget. He hopes he knows how much he appreciates him. He helps Jihoon believe in himself. He is not sure what he would do without him.
