Fuck.

"I don't know... it's just feels weird to have someone else make me feel that way." He played with the hem of his shirt innocently, a small pout on his lips as his brows furrowed. "My heart too... my heart feels like it's going to burst every time you touch me. That never happens." His fingers came up to pat the fabric over the place his heart was before going back down to place themselves on Wonsik's abdomen.

Wonsik couldn't help but pull Taekwoon down for a quick kiss, surprising the elder when his tongue slipped past the part lips that had been taunting him so effortlessly as the other had spoken. Once he pulled away, he soaked up the sight of Taekwoon's flushed and dazed appearance, appreciating the way his lips were slightly swollen and glistening.

"That's not weird." Wonsik finally whispered back, hugging the others body closer to his. "It's normal, don't ever think something like that is weird unless it's someone other than me." Selfish.

"It's not?" Taekwoon questioned hesitantly, staring into the others hooded eyes with his own innocent cat-like ones.

"It's not..." Wonsik started, "because I feel the exact same thing whenever you're near me." He pecked Taekwoon's lips repeatedly, the soft giggles that left the other lips never stopping his actions. "You're too cute." He finalized with one last, lingering kiss.

Taekwoon hummed in response, laying his head on the others chest. He splayed his hand out flatly against Wonsik's toned chest, pressing slightly to feel the beating heart underneath his palm. His brows furrowed, "It's beating really fast." He murmured, bring the hand to press against his own heart once more, "Almost faster than mine... and mine's going really fast."

"I told you my heart is weird whenever you're near me." Wonsik sighed as he gripped Taekwoon's pale and soft hand in his larger one before bringing it up to his lips to kiss. "I really like you." He confessed against the others skin, hoping the other would soak up his words completely and return them. It was selfish of him really; to confess his feelings to Taekwoon who probably couldn't properly understand them due to his lack of interactions with others.

Technically, wasn't Wonsik taking advantage of Taekwoon's kind heart? The elder didn't know any better and accepted him with open arms, eagerly tending to him. Wonsik on the other hand, saw the innocent man and tried to corrupt him the first day; he tried to force the elder to take off his good boy act. Then when he realized his heart truly was pure, he took comfort in it. He indulged in the feeling Taekwoon gave him, made him feel like he was at least doing a good job at taking care of someone, even if it wasn't his mother.

He was confused as his heart and mind fought. Did he truly like Taekwoon or did he like the way he felt when he was with him. Wasn't it the same difference? Was he a bad guy for liking Taekwoon? Was he really taking advantage of him?

He closed his eyes as his heart suddenly felt heavy, pressing his lips gingerly against the milky skin once more for comfort that was much needed.

"I really like you too." Taekwoon's voice was music to his ears as he spoke softly, "but it's not the same as my mother or father. My heart feels normal around them and I don't feel the urge, need, to always touch them... I do with you though. I think my like for you is different. Everything is different." Wonsik smiled the slightest at his words, pulling the hand away from his lips before intertwining them.

"You're precious." Wonsik whispered after a moment of silence, looking down at the mess of almond hair that was splayed on his chest.

"Wow, I'm pretty sure this is the first time in forever that I get to see something other than your room." Wonsik teased as Taekwoon dragged him out of his bedroom.
