[ junsu doesn't mean to tear up, and he wishes he didn't. but he does, at minsu's earnest surprise that he was worried about his choice of gift, and at the words you are my family. he didn't think he wasn't, but he didn't think he was either, not in such clear terms. and things are changing so much, and he'd been so scared he would end up pushed out of minsu's life.

but he isn't. not that minsu ever made junsu feel that way, it was just a fear, thinking about all the things in minsu's life he doesn't know or understand, how before all this he felt like minsu was a part of him from how intensely they shared the things they felt and the experiences they'd had.

family. that's so big. he sniffles. ]

You're my family too. [ he kisses minsu's cheek, then the other. ] I love you. I would love it if you cooked for me in those.

[ he pulls minsu close, hiding his face against his shoulder. ]

I would really love that. I was just scared, I guess, and then your gift made me feel better about that but not about what I picked out for you.
