[ junsu relaxes just a bit after hearing that. not that kwang would've said no, but it's reassuring to know they'll keep communicating, even about this, even if it's tricky and hurts in all sorts of new ways. ]

I think he's wrong, too. But I get it. [ it's hojoon, and he's cautious, and he would often rather not do anything at all than do it badly, and sometimes junsu thinks it's a miracle they even got to be together. some kind of magic. ] You know I keep having to tell him it's okay for him to want things? He doesn't know what that's like. To have his own life and to want to live it his own way and to ask for things.

[ not to make this a pity party, or all about hojoon, but he doesn't know how much kwang knows of hojoon's story. a lot of it isn't for junsu to share, but he can say this much. maybe it'll contextualize the decision a bit better. maybe kwang can understand him a little more. junsu loves them both so much, it hurts that they're not working out, that things will be weird between them, but what he wants most is their individual happiness. ]

You do have me and Ten. We're not going anywhere.
