" How It Began "
Hakyeon invited Hongbin in after the fireworks. He took a deep breath but decided it was best that he talked with the younger regarding everything there is to know about him.
"You can take your time you know that? I can wait," Hongbin saw the older fidgeting nervously with his fingers.
Hakyeon shook his head and insisted.
He got up from the sofa and went to his room to get something. As he came out, he took the photo that was sitting on his bookshelf with him.
"I want to tell you about this... about him," Hakyeon swallowed hard but he knew he had to do the right thing. "He's... he was my ex-boyfriend. My first love back when I was living in Changwon."
I know... Hongbin thought to himself but decided to listen to Hakyeon's story anyways.
"Boyfriend?" Hongbin decided to play along.
Hakyeon nodded.
"I'm the youngest of three, with an older brother and older sister back in Changwon..."
Hakyeon was born and raised in Changwon for as long as he knew it. He was the youngest in his family and his family doted on him dearly. He was filial son who loved and cared for his family. He does even now but everything changed while he was in the second year of high school.
He's always been a hard worker and top student. He had nothing in mind except to work hard for his future and repay his parents' kindness. But as Hakyeon continued his studies, he began to stray a bit from his path as he watched his classmates have fun with friends after school unlike him who would be spending his time in the library. Though he had friends, he was still lonely.
It wasn't until one day, his eyes were caught onto by a certain tune in the school music room.
As he was passing by, a beautiful song captured his attention. His feet automatically followed the sound to see who it was that was playing the song. That was the day when Hakyeon met that person. The person changed his life and became his first love.

Hakyeon looked at Hongbin who sat quietly next to him and listening to his story. He bit his lips a bit before he found more courage to continue. He carefully took the photo out of the frame and handed it to Hongbin.
Hongbin took the photo in his hands to see Hakyeon with another man, the older's first love, smiling happily together by the sea.
"You looked really happy," Hongbin commented.
"I-I was," Hakyeon admitted. "I really thought that that was the happiest time of my life and I never wanted anything more."
Hongbin smiled sympathetically towards the older who looked sad and guilty at the same time. After all, he was revealing his story of a past love to his current one. Hongbin ruffled the older's hair to reassure him that he was fine.
As Hongbin looked much more carefully at the photo, he turned towards the back of the picture.
