[ Yoon's not at the dorms just yet; he'd gone on a walk with Fray after hot pot, but he can't fight the need to talk to his roommate. His roommate who helped him through all of this. He'll send him a message to stave some of his nerves a bit -- yes, he's worried that things will be weird when he gets back to the room to properly sleep in his bed (finally). ]
I'll be in the room tonight. I promise, this time. Without you...either Aerith or I would have...
[Without it being said, that shy little message conveys all that Yoon needs it to, that he'd like some company, maybe a little reassurance, definitely someone to make things... not awkward. So he responds quickly.]
Then so will I. I'll see you later.
[Because sometimes he's out late, or doesn't come back himself, but... he wasn't the one acting odd.]
It was no trouble. Really. You would have done the same, if you could.
[...He'd honestly kind of love to see that. Unfortunately, he'd have to act like an utter ass to everyone to convince them that he was in need of carting off to the temple, and that wasn't worth it.]
[ And, true to his word, Yoon is back at the dorms within minutes. Getting into his room, however, is another story. He stands in front of the door with his hand hovering over the doorknob, and he does this for at least a minute, before he finally decides to be brave and open it.
[ Despite the perch, despite the spookiness, Yoon is completely unperturbed. In fact, the first thing he does when he sees Celeste is not greet him, not wave at him, not do some kind of awkward re-introduction, but rather...

[He doesn't go to him, not really - he does step closer, but it's to make sure the door is shut behind him, so he can have this moment in the privacy of their room, without anyone in the hall having to watch him cry.]
SURPRISE, post-hot pot @Yoon
I'll be in the room tonight. I promise, this time.

Thank you, Celeste
BABY
Then so will I. I'll see you later.

Of course I would've. I would have dragged you all the way to the temple. ... With some help. But I would have made it happen no matter what!
I'll be back soon.

I know. c:
See you soon.

Quietly, he steps inside. Celeste, you in here? ]

...Sure, maybe it's a little spooky that he was waiting on him, but. Surely it's fine.]

Sorry... I'm really sorry, Celeste...

Yoon?

What is there to apologize for?
