"Because I was your only guide, I had to. You were my responsibility."
Rim Young didn't falter as he responded to him. Wi Hajoon's hand loosened its grip as he suddenly moved to hug him. Rim Young instinctively tried to back out from the hug, but Wi Hajoon wrapped a hand around his back to stop him. He rested his forehead on Rim Young's shoulder, holding his hand gently with his other hand, fidgeting with his fingers.
"I'm sorry. I won't say it ever again."
".....?"
"It's okay if you don't like me... just come back as my guide. I promise I won't ever confess again or scare you."
Wi Hajoon seemed to have finally believed that Rim Young didn't like him, or perhaps he was simply going to acknowledge it even though it wasn't true.
