[Min doesn't pull back as far as Ryan was expecting him to, and he sings this love song so gently that it brings what must be a blush to Ryan's face - an even deeper red than he is already. There's something about singing it while actively trying to do whatever they just did that feels infinitely more intimate, but Ryan doesn't miss a beat.]

The questions of the heart...

[There aren't any questions in his heart. It knows what he's known for years now, and can't do anything with that information. He isn't belting anymore - he's matching Min's energy, making it a softer song than it was before.]

You followed me through changes
And patiently you'd wait
'Til I came to my senses
Through some miracle of fate...


[He doesn't remember this song hitting so hard before, but now? Now it feels so on point that it could have been something they wrote. These are words Ryan can imagine himself writing and singing...all with Min. And it feels right.

Before the chorus comes back, Ryan can't help himself. Standing still in this moment is agonizing so he starts to sway with Min, like they're preteens at a middle school dance.

I was living for a dream...
