[ It's possible that Kwang is a little surprised by the response. He wants Junsu to be happy and pleased, of course, but he didn't expect the tears, the overwhelming feeling that rises in his chest at hearing it.
His arms close around Junsu, pulling him closer, and he leans down to kiss Junsu's temple, a frown on his own face. ]
Are you okay? I'm sorry if it was too much.
[ Fingers rub along Junsu's back, as gentle as he can make them, his free hand cradling the back of his boyfriend's head. Junsu can probably hear how fast his heart is beating, at this point.
But he doesn't matter, right now, not when Junsu's crying. ]

[ It doesn't feel okay, but being here, listening to Junsu's voice, letting himself be vulnerable and sad and consoled, it helps. He's heartbroken, but he's also not alone, and he can allow himself this, for someone to help and pick up the pieces with him.
It's a new feeling, that one. Myung sighs, pressing the heels of his palms against his eyes when he pulls back a little, wiping off tears as he tries to regulate his breathing a little. ]
Thing is, I don't even know what wasn't working right. I thought - I thought we were happy.
[ He blows out an explosive breath, shaking his head before he pulls his hands away from his face and looks into Junsu's eyes. Myung guesses he looks a mess, splotchy blotchy gross, his hair dark, but Junsu - Myung reaches out, presses two fingers to Junsu's jaw.
He wants to think about something else. He wants to think about the people he does still have in his life, not the ones that abandoned him. He wants to believe he can feel something else than this. ]
God, you're so beautiful.

[ Myung can't tell yet, if it'll be something he'll keep grating at, like when you bite your cheek and you keep poking at it afterwards with your tongue. He doesn't know yet, everything too raw, too bright, for him to be able to say if the not knowing will drive him crazy, or if he'll manage to move past it.
But right now, it feels pointless to think about. It just hurts more, to keep on circling around the idea that it's his own fault, that it must be, that he must have one something wrong to push Dae away.
It's fucking useless.
What isn't useless, what feels good and warm and like all sorts of things Myung doesn't deserve, it's the way Junsu touches him, kisses him, talks about him. Myung's breath hitches, fingers twitching against Junsu's lips. ]
Sometimes I wonder what I've done to deserve someone like you in my life. You're always - so good to me.
