"Bee, princess, slow down, my feet are floating in the water right now, I'm afraid I'll scream out any moment." I tightened my grasp on his hands and slowly moved forward with bigger steps.
"Seok-Min, this might sound dramatic but I really really want you guys to be my family."
"What?" He breathed out, surprised.
"Yeah, all of us together, let's try this out. I think I can let my insecurities go. Shit this sounds like a proposal."
I laughed, he laughed.
"Yeah and that's gonna be wrong on so many levels."
"Huh?"
"You said all of us together, I'm gonna be your brother and you're gonna be my baby sister so yeah, a proposal would be wrong on so many levels." I looked up at him and he looked down with a soft expression, making my heart clench. I said it like it was nothing, but was I really ready to trust people again? I nodded twice, anyway.
"Tell me your secret," I voiced out, almost whispering afraid to break this thin glass of comfort.
