"I think my magic is stronger when I'm with you cause it's way harder to control. Usually it's a spark, with you it's a flame." With a shrug, he leaned forward and looked at Yejoon, frowning a little. "We're bonded, I think. Like the soldiers they always talk about. I think we were meant to be together." And he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not cause it could be pretty dangerous for Yejoon. "Maybe that's why we feel this way."
"That would explain it..." Yejoon looked at Sangwoo, suddenly feeling very uncertain in an entirely new way. What was he supposed to do with this? "If we are supposed to be together, then..."
How? How could they? He didn't have that kind of freedom. "Are we supposed to fight? I mean... If we are bonded, if we have magic, are we supposed to go out and defeat whatever threat there is?"
"We don't have to fight if we don't want to. People say we gotta but we don't. Only if we tell people." And he really didn't want to enlist. He didn't trust that it was a good idea. "They're just trying to keep us all under thumb anyway." He shrugged, not sure if he was about to get into an argument or something. Yejoon might want to do it but he was less sure.
"I'm sorry you have a soulmate like me but I'll do what I can to be worthy. I promise you that."
"I-- I don't know. I'm not a fighter. I never knew what I am. But--" But for the first time in his life, he felt a sense of belonging. He wrapped his arms around Sangwoo and pulled him close, as close as he could, until he was right against him, until he could feel his chest move with every breath. "I love you. I want that to be all that matters." Couldn't that just be it? Why was life so complicated?
"Then it is all that matters. We'll ignore the world as long as we can and I'll keep you safe." And, because he knew how this would go, he smiled and kissed Yejoon's cheek, hugging him tighter. "And you'll protect me, yeah?" Yejoon wanted to be a protector so he'd let him. He'd let him do anything really. He'd never felt love like this.
"Being with you makes me feel whole for the first time ever."
