[ it's not the tone of jaejin's voice that gets to him but the question itself. if jaejin has no hope, how can he carry it all himself? could he? he doesn't know, but he's not the kind of person to give up until he's exhausted every option available to him. vie hasn't even started, not really. that jaejin has to ask such things makes him realize he hasn't been trying hard enough.
the sting is barely there as he slips his hands free to lean forward and cup jaejin's face. it gives him a brief moment to examine his cheeks, the faint color under his eyes and the depth of affection and doubt he sees when he gazes at him directly. there is so much more he could say, but he needs this more than he would like to admit, drawing in a careful breath before drawing jaejin forward so he can kiss him. it's not soft or deep, just a firm press of their mouths that seems to melt every hesitation he has into nothing. once he parts to breathe, he brushes their lips together again and lets their noses bump. ]
I love you. [ another kiss, and he gently combs his fingers up into jaejin's hair. ] I will do everything I possibly can to make sure we get there. That's my promise to you. [ one he isn't going to break. ] Will you help me? I think that's really all it's dependent upon now.
