The one i should avoid

Closer Than Before

Closer Than Before

May 22, 2026

Tae stood up slowly.

Then leaned toward Yun.

And gently kissed him on the lips.

For a brief second—

Yun completely froze.

The city lights outside the Ferris wheel quietly reflected in his eyes while his heartbeat pounded loudly inside his chest.

Meanwhile—

The moment Tae realized what he had just done—

“Tae quickly pulled back.”

His eyes widened slightly in shock.

“…What the fuck did I just do?”

Tae’s entire body tensed immediately.

Panic slowly filled his expression.

Then he noticed something—

A few tears slowly slipped down from Yun’s right eye.

The moment Tae saw that—

His heart dropped instantly.

He immediately thought Yun was crying because of the kiss.

Without hesitation, Tae quickly moved closer and pulled Yun tightly into his arms.

“Yun… don’t cry.”

His voice sounded nervous for the first time.

“I’m sorry.”

Tae’s hands slightly trembled while holding him.

“I don’t know why I suddenly did that…”

Then quietly—

“I’m really sorry.”

Meanwhile, Yun slowly held onto Tae’s clothes.

His face remained buried against Tae’s shoulder for a moment before he finally spoke softly.

“…I don’t know why you did it either.”

Tae’s breathing instantly became heavier after hearing that.

But then—

Yun quietly continued,

“But… I felt happy.”

Another small tear rolled down his cheek.

“It’s okay.”

“These tears came because I’m happy.”

For a brief second—

Tae completely went silent.

Then slowly—

He tightened the hug around Yun even more.

Like he never wanted to let go.

Meanwhile—

The Ferris wheel slowly started moving again.

And after all those overwhelming emotions—

Neither of them properly understood what they were even feeling anymore.

Their hearts still beat loudly.

Fast.

Unstable.

Then suddenly—

GRRRR…

Yun’s stomach growled loudly the moment they stepped out of the Ferris wheel.

For one second—

Complete silence.

Then Tae suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahah—”

He tried stopping himself but failed completely.

“Seriously?”

Yun’s face instantly became red with embarrassment.

He immediately made a sulking face after seeing Tae laughing so hard.

Meanwhile, Tae kept laughing while wiping near his eyes slightly.

“Come on,” he said while smiling.

“Let’s go eat something at a nearby restaurant.”

Yun still looked offended while following behind him quietly.

Soon afterward—

Tae took Yun to a nice restaurant nearby.

The lights inside were warm and peaceful while the night view outside looked beautiful.

Tae intentionally picked seats near the window.

After sitting down, Tae looked toward Yun.

“What do you want to eat?”

Yun still kept his sulking expression.

“Order anything.”

His voice sounded slightly annoyed.

Mostly because Tae laughed at his stomach growling earlier.

Tae immediately noticed.

Then he smiled helplessly.

“I’m sorry.”

“I won’t laugh again.”

Then he leaned slightly closer.

“So tell me what you want to eat.”

For a brief second—

Yun hesitated.

Then quietly—

“…Can I really eat whatever I want?”

The moment Tae saw Yun looking strangely excited while asking that—

Something inside him softened again.

“…Of course.”

A small smile appeared on Tae’s lips.

“Eat whatever you want.”

Then Yun immediately spoke without hesitation.

“…I want to try steak.”

He looked slightly embarrassed afterward.

“I’ve never eaten it before.”

For some reason—

Hearing that made Tae’s chest feel strangely tight.

Still, he calmly ordered steak for both of them along with desserts afterward.

That night—

The two of them quietly ate together while talking about random small things.

And somehow—

Even something as simple as eating together felt special.

Later—

It was finally time to take Yun home.

Tae quietly drove him back through the calm night streets.

After some time—

They finally reached Yun’s house.

Tae stepped out of the car too, silently watching Yun walk toward the entrance.

But just before Yun entered inside—

“Tae suddenly called him.”

“Yun.”

Yun turned around slightly.

Then Tae slowly walked closer before gently catching Yun’s fingers with his hand.

“…Did you enjoy today?”

His voice sounded quieter now.

“Did you like it?”

Yun looked at Tae silently for a few seconds before slowly smiling.

“…Yes.”

His smile became softer.

“I really enjoyed today.”

Then quietly—

“Thanks to you.”

Yun lowered his gaze slightly.

“I never thought a day like this would happen to me.”

Then he looked back at Tae again.

“…Thank you, Tae.”

For a brief second—

Neither of them moved.

Then slowly—

Yun let go of Tae’s hand and entered the house.

Meanwhile—

Tae quietly returned to his car afterward.

The moment he sat down—

He leaned his head back against the seat while staring silently ahead.

And suddenly—

His heartbeat became louder.

BADUM.

BADUM.

BADUM.

Tae slowly covered part of his face with one hand before quietly mumbling to himself,

“…I think I like him.”

Then after a brief pause—

His eyes slowly softened.

“No.”

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

“I love him.”

“…And I don’t want to let him go.”

Meanwhile, inside YUN room—

Yun quietly leaned against the door after entering.

His fingers slowly touched his lips.

The warmth of Tae’s kiss still remained there.

BADUM.

His heartbeat became loud again.

Then slowly—

Yun hugged the teddy bear Tae bought earlier before falling onto the bed.

A small smile appeared on his lips without realizing it.

“…I think I’m going crazy .”
