[Even Yoosung isn't entirely sure why "attraction between two men" wasn't a single part of his answer, although when he thinks about it again, he'll find a clear reason if he searches his soul. For now, he just blurted out the first things to come to mind, and now he has to listen to all of the dates that Mitarai wishes he could take him on with a lump of guilt growing in his throat. With his glasses analyzing his body temperature and reminding him what Mitarai must mean in his heart when he says 'want to be so close,' Yoosung isn't so sure he can find a reason why, despite how he still believes he should want to do some of those things together as friends. He finds himself staring down at his shoes for a moment, before he looks back over to him.]

Why would I ever...? [He murmurs thoughtfully. Is there even a reason? Is there a timeline where he could have loved Mitarai? He has no idea, so he hopes he'll forgive him for speaking in a general sense.] Because, everyone has a loneliness to push away, and that's how liking can start...

[Yoosung knows that very much. After all, even just hanging out in a chatroom together was enough for his first love. He cherishes every moment he spends together with someone special, like unearthed treasures. Thinking about that gives him a heartrending feeling, one that he's suddenly sure of more than anything.]

But it... it wouldn't be fair. I don't know what Yuuki would think... I told him if it's for the person I like, I would wait.

[he means to DTR. but......]
