Young Jae’s Reason

Min Jun shook his head slowly, hoping his tokki would agree. "We do not have to!"

"I want to do this…" Young Jae looked stubborn, but his grip on Min Jun tightened as he felt the fear crawl through him.

"Okay, love! Whatever you want..." Min Jun kissed Young Jae softly on the forehead to ease his tokki.

Min Jun tried to make his tokki sit comfortably and not lean on him with his upper body. But Young Jae resisted. He let his tokki do as he wished as he heard his tokki speak.

"I am scared. What will others say if they know we are on a date?"

"What if the restaurant kicks us out?"

"What if others mock us?"

"What if they… What if we… Get into… What if... What if... it just... we just..."

Young Jae hyperventilated as he continued with lots of 'what ifs'  in one go.
