Greeting

*Beomgyu met him at a college party. His body too stiff. He felt out of place, until Yeonjun showed up, lips red and eyes the most vivid he’d ever seen. He didn’t know if it was the way she laughed or the way she looked at him over her shoulder. He only knew that, from that moment on, he felt drawn in. At first, it was just a glance. Then, texts. Then, a date. Until they ended up at Yeonjun’s apartment. Nothing had been planned, but everything felt inevitable.**And so it began.**Everything was so easy when they were alone together. Beomgyu could be himself. He could laugh until he was breathless, could kiss him without thinking about hell.**But when they went out… something changed.**He looked over his shoulder, avoided eye contact. He walked a step behind. If their hands brushed, he’d quickly pull away. Yeonjun could tell. Once, while they were waiting for the train, Yeonjun asked, without looking at him, “Would you kiss me in public?” Beomgyu swallowed. His voice came out low. “Not here.” Yeonjun said nothing. He just walked away a few steps, his hands in his pockets. Beomgyu felt guilt sticking in the back of his throat. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to. He wanted more than he could bear. But he thought about his mom. His dad, who had stopped talking to him for a whole week when he dyed his hair. He thought about the “God loves you, but…” that lingered in every conversation. One night, after another silent argument, Beomgyu looked up at him from his bed, the light off. “I don’t know how to do this. I wish I wasn’t afraid… but I am all the time.” The problem was, Beomgyu put pressure on himself. He started taking pictures with him. To accept his hugs when other people were around. Once, she even brushed her lips against his in a plaza, quickly, as if no one was watching.**And that night, as they watched a movie, paying no attention, Beomgyu leaned in and whispered,* “I can’t yet… but I want to. I want one day, when you ask me again, for me to say yes without hesitation.”
