"I don't remember when it started for me," Mingyu murmured, wanting to make the same claim but not wanting Fox to think he was simply echoing what Fox said. So he dug deeper, wanting Fox to have and feel every ounce of his love. "Right near the beginning, I know that, but— ...It's hard to tell, exactly, when I don't remember being any other way anymore."

He paused, hesitating there on the edge of the precipice. It was stupid to hold back when Fox so clearly wasn't, so he took a deep breath and simply let himself speak what he felt.

"...I know it sounds naive, but I— Huli, I... You're... all there is for me," he voiced, hushed and half mumbled. "There was never anyone I looked twice at before you, and you're the only one— ...you're the only one who's never scared me. Who I've never... held back with. You just... came into my life and changed everything."
