“Seonghwa,” Hongjoong finally says, and the older man immediately sits straighter, his shoulders squared and breath held so tightly, like he’s afraid of making a noise. “Y-yes?” Hongjoong speaks more apologetically than he intended to, “I can’t do it.” Seonghwa’s breath is released with the drop of his shoulders, his eyebrows furrowed in sudden discontent as though the letdown is the worst thing he’s ever heard in his entire life. “Why?” The word catches onto some desperation, and Hongjoong has to swallow the lump in his throat to give him an honest answer. "I’m not rejecting you. I just can’t take you until you’re ready. But you’ll do your research, won’t you?
