Summary
Matthew arrived in Korea untouched by Hanbin’s world, soft in ways that still belonged entirely to himself.
Now even the language in his mouth carries traces of Hanbin’s hands all over it.
Hanbin still remembers the first time Matthew called him our Hanbin hyung instead of just Hanbin hyung.
Our.
Such a small word.
It wrecks him for weeks.
Matthew learns Korean through Hanbin so thoroughly that eventually the language itself begins to feel shared between them. Matthew carries traces of Hanbin in the way he speaks now. In the cadence. In the phrasing. In the softened edges of his accent whenever he gets tired enough to stop thinking before talking and it's the most devastating thing Hanbin has ever experienced in his life.
