[He wants to say: But you said "I don't" and "I do" in almost the same breath, and now you're expecting him to answer with just one word? That doesn't seem fair! He doesn't know how to do this, what the next step would be if he says yes. He knows he'll be a shitty soulmate. The last thing he wants is for Yoo Joonghyk to make this decision and then end up disappointed. He imagines he already is disappointed.
He doesn't say any of that, because he does know the man. Any answer other than "yes" will be taken as a no, and just the thought of saying no is so physically painful that he doesn't think he could get the word out.
Maybe the weight of having a soulmate is finally hitting him. It really is an irresistible force, stronger than gravity.]
--Yes.
[There's no confidence in his voice, but the lack of confidence isn't because of a lack of desire. It's funny, he'd never thought of himself as gay. He's pretty sure the author of ways of survival intended for Yoo Joonghyk to be straight, so this whole situation really has to be some sort of mistake.]

There. One word. Are you happy now?
[It's his turn to sulk.]
