Today Hoseok told me that it was okay if I didn't say that I loved him back.

I asked him why. If he loves me so much, why doesn't he want me to say it back to him?

He said that I have to learn to love myself first, then I could love him. That he doesn't want me worrying about what he thinks about me, or worrying about pleasing him and stressing about if the feelings are still mutual.

I asked him if he'd wait for me.

He said he'd wait forever if he had to.
