[There's no waiting involved at all. The second there's a break in Min's words, Ryan fills the silence with panicked babbling.]
--Sorry! Sorry, I made everything super weird for you. We don't have to do this! I don't want you to like-- I dunno, I don't want to make you uncomfortable or like, weirded out or-- I dunno! But I didn't mean to, and we can just...we can...
[They can't though, can they? They can't just pretend it didn't happen. Ryan rubs at his eyes under his glasses with his palms, trying to make whatever is threatening to happen there stop. He takes a deep, staggering breath.]
...Sorry. I'm good. I...I'm sorry I messed it up, made it weird. You don't need to deal with all that...shit.
["Shit" comes with the vaguest handwave, like he was looking for another word and settled on a curse. But fuck, Min like just came out! He shouldn't have to deal with his stupid unrequited crush of a million years.
His heart is pounding in his ears. How could he have possibly fucked up this badly?]
