"What's this?" Hyeonbin glances at the paper you hand him, pocketing his newly acquired cigarettes. You remember he had said something about running out in a recent mission. He flips the paper over, eyes widening as he realises the contents of the letter. A confession.

It wasn't anything new. You had always been attracted to him, even while the two of you were students. But you had never told him because you didn't want to push him away. Sure, this way was cliche, but it was the easiest way.

It felt more sincere than a simple text message. You contemplate running off now that he's got the letter, but you decide not to.
