"i probably stink."
hoseok muttered
after a few minutes
of pure silence.

"i don't care,"
i said against his shoulder,
holding him tighter.
"i really don't."

"how do you know
where i live? why are
you even here?"
i didn't dare move myself
because if i did
i would lose this moment.

"i asked jimin. i was worried
about you. you didn't come into
university for a week
or come to the park."
i muttered, embarrassed
but knowing i shouldn't lie.

"i know, im sorry.
times have been...weird."
he muttered against my hair,
his grip around my neck
not releasing.

"i don't understand,"
i sighed.
"i want to understand.
will you explain?"
