[Ryan's heart also might explode, but fortunately he's better at faking it. He has plenty of kiss practice, enough to know what kinds of things make a kiss good or bad and how that can change based on what they want.
He also knows perfectly well that Min-Gi has absolutely no idea what he's going for, but he doesn't seem to mind that either. He inches closer as well, pulling one leg out of the water and turning so they can face each other.
It is through sheer force of will that he doesn't chuckle at Min pretending to be more confident and calm about this. He promised he wouldn't laugh, and he won't, but it's very cute in the face of their first kiss.]
Shhh. I told you; I'm going to help you figure it out.
[Min-Gi doesn't have to pretend he knows what he's doing, because Ryan will gladly take the lead. Blindly, he reaches down to find one of Min's hands, so he can lace their fingers together. Their faces are already so close.]
Tilt your head a little? Opposite of me.
[Ryan shows him what to mirror, a slight tilt to the side so they won't bump noses. This puts them so close that Min will feel Ryan's words, warm against his lips.]
Follow my lead. Okay?
[Then, Ryan leans in and closes the gap between them. It's gentle, because he can't imagine a first kiss with Min-Gi not being gentle and soothing, especially when they've been so worried about everything. No tongues, no teeth - just the smallest amount of pressure and soft movement. Easy to mimic little things, like focusing his attention at Min's lower lip, and finding a simple rhythm to their motions.
But most importantly, it's slow. He takes his time with it, to gauge how Min reacts.]
