''The Korean's arms managed to absentmindedly embrace the Mexican once more, meekly pulling him closer once he practically felt him crumbling under his bruised neck. To help let those tears out - despite how emotionally exhausted he must have been, he comfortingly rubbed his back with his small hands.''

''Those words hit him right at home, in all honesty. It was almost the same experience he had when he was little, confused, too head-over-heels, yet curious. All those times that those weird emotions for the same gender crept in his heart, he felt as if he were to drift off in the air. Once he found the one he thought he truly loved, he cherished him with all his heart. ''

''All of that time of love, compassion, and bondage crumbled down once Jeong learned of his manipulation and tactics to remain with Jisae. Bruises, cuts, and blood were the only things that were genuinely reminiscent of him, which made him chill slightly. In those times, he had to force himself to become stronger, to become more brave for any other dispute with Jisae, but it was to no avail each and everytime.''

But with Elijah, he felt like he was the one.

No matter how many times he may have avoided the Korean out of his inner confusions over his sexuality, how much he appreciated every criticism and praise he received from Jeong, and no matter how much he solidified his emotions into a pseudo-esque mask of a callous, stoic expression, he always found an admiration in his strength and genuine care he had toward the Korean.

''Elijah would always find a way out of his own mental dilemma to try and comfort and guide the group to their destination, and even help Jeong with his night terrors. He was always loving, caring, and even wistful.''

And he welcomed that.

''"Look at me." he finally managed to speak up after a solid two minutes of simply laying there, delicately embracing each other as if they were about to lose themselves. Jeong gently cupped Elijah's face in his small hands, gazing deeply into his eyes with compassion and determination as he frowned slightly.''

''"I knew that you had some issues with that, and that's okay. I was like that, too. When we get to that Gate - when I heal, I promise with everything that I can do in my abilities to move to where ever the hell you are... And find you..." the Korean swallowed yet another lump in his throat, letting out a rasped wail. Shortly after, warm tears flooded his grayish turquoise eyes as his thumbs caressed the Mexican's cheeks.''

''Next, he leaned his face against Elijah's, the slightest bit of color returning in his weakened face as his arms wrapped his neck. Doing the unthinkable, Jeong's thin line of lips gradually graced Elijah's briefly before trying again, tenderly pecking him on the lips. After a solid seven seconds, he pulled away, resting his forehead against his partner's as his tears flowed like waterfalls.''

"I love you, Elijah."
