Seunghun invited me into the tent during lunch one day. I wanted to ask about Jinyoung, really know how he was doing, but I didn't want to pry too much. "So, is Jinyoung any better?"

"Yeah, he's a little better." Seunghun nodded. "He wants to meet here later again, by the way. Having the same experience really made it easier for us to talk, I think."

"I figured that's what you were trying to tell me. I only figured it out after you hugged Jinyoung though."

"Well, I guess I don't need to tell you again." I wouldn't force Seunghun to relive something like that. What he said next, though... "But we need to talk. About this. About us."

Oh. "Right." I went simple. "I don't have much to say. I like you, Seunghun, but I don't want to force you into anything if you aren't comfortable."

Seunghun was the opposite. "Can I go on a bit of a rant?"

"If you want to."

Seunghun breathed. "Okay. I've never really liked anyone before. Not actually. I was sort of coerced into a few hangouts by my friends, but that's it. I've never liked anyone before, I'd never kissed anyone before, and then you showed up, and now I'm having a crisis." He took another breath before he continued. "I don't have a label for myself because I've literally never liked anyone until this moment. I don't know what we are, I don't know what I want us to be, and any other questions you ask are doing to be answered with a shitty I don't know."

I all of that, I got it. He didn't have anything. "That's okay, Seunghun. It's okay if you don't want to label anything. We can just keep doing this."

Seunghun looked between us. "What's this?"

"Whatever you want it to be."

Seunghun smiled. I grinned back.
