Donghae had to gulp down a glass of water before he once again stared into Hyukjae's glistening and earnest eyes. The other was patient, only caring and worried if he was indeed ready to relay a story he have kept on his own for quite a while now.

He knew being vulnerable and baring your self to someone isn't easy. 

As a member of the acting club, Donghae could have pretended everything was okay and brushed off Hyukjae's advances of comforting him and trying to be closer to him. But he did not. Instead, he chose to tell his side and his own emotions. 

"So... You're the one who called off on your past relationships?" Hyukjae begins as he tries to make Donghae talk more. He nods in reply and looks down, eyes directed on the table. 

"I did not really want to, actually. Of course, I cared for them and I loved them so I did not want to hurt their feelings...

But we were arguing a lot about certain things. Actually, I think I was unconsciously hurting them too." He remarked sadly. Hyukjae hears the evident distress in his voice and he respons worriedly.

"You didn't know you hurt them? How?"

Donghae removed his hands intertwined with Hyukjae and fiddled with it on his own. He placed his forehead on his hands, elbows propped on the table. He sighed.

"We may have a lot of differences, in personality and lifestyle. At first, I was not even sure why there are a lot of girls who want to be with me, but my hyungs said it's because of my face. And because I'm a kind person. Of course, I believed them. 

But I failed to see through my past girlfriends. Jess was my first. She was very friendly to me back then and she was the one who suggested we date each other. I was very happy, she made me happy. I liked having someoone to cherish and talk to when I want to share things about my life. But she was disappointed in a lot of ways...

During days I want to simply play music for her, she would get bored because she would rather have us date at a cafe or restaurant inside the mall. If she expresses what she wants, I try my best to fulfill her wishes. But I saw her face and she looked disappointed everytime."

He chuckled bitterly as he recalled memories between them. "She thought I was rich, you should have seen her face when she first came here at my place. All the while she thought I would be living in a bachelor's place in a high-end place, but I didn't live like that. Heck, I'm not even rich at all. See this?" Donghae gestures around. 

"I'm not the son of a businessman or anything. People had this image of me being a rich, cool, and manly guy in school but I'm honestly none of that. It hurts my heart when I see Jess not being happy and when she looks embarassed if I can only offer her dates like wandering around the park, watching classic movies, or hanging out in a library. We were only together for two months, and I had to break-up with her to let her be happy. But
