No, it's okay. I haven't been acting like myself. And I promise, I'm not usually freaking out about this. I don't want you like, worrying about me every time we're apart. ...Sometimes bad thoughts cross my mind? Like that you might get sick of me, or that I might wind up by myself again, or...something. But that's all they are. I know that I won't, and I know you won't. ...You're always there for me too, even when I don't know I need it yet.

[But he wants to. Min should know, so he knows what he's weighing this against in his head, but he can't if he can't put it to words.]
But...hey, maybe your way's the normal one? I could be the weirdo here.
