Mistaken identity. Unreciprocated first love. Worst first impression. All the bad ingredients that connected Qing and Dayu's fate together. Both of them thought they chose the other one, for obvious reasons. But only one of them got it right. The ot...

Present Day
Dayu's POV
"You love him, don't you?"
I froze. Auntie Huiyin's question had me literally turned to stone.
"No.." I replied; but it doesn't seem true even to my ears this time. I was convinced that what I had with Qing was already over. It's all in the past.
He used to be the love of my life but, not anymore. Wasn't that what I told myself? I hadn't been thinking about him for two years; until last night. Surely that meant that I had already gotten over him, right?
So, why does it made me feel like this; when I heard the question from Auntie Huiyin's mouth? Why does it felt wrong when I answered 'NO' to that question? Isn't that the truth?
"Dayu ah..." as if sensing my distressed confusion, Auntie Huiyin came to my side and took my hand; patting it gently.
"Do not be alarmed.." she said, her voice is as gentle as her touch on my hand, "Dayu ah...You really didn't know?"
I blinked at her, and I could feel the blood draining all over my face and body. "I don't understand.." I could hear my voice trembling. I really don't understand. What did Auntie Huiyin meant by that? What is it that I didn't know?
"That man is the reason for your obvious trauma when it comes to relationships..." Yang bit it, giving me sharp look.
"Jin Yang..!" MinJun, immediately tugged at Yang's hand. And this time, he's a little forceful about it. Minjun gave me an apologetic look.
"Sorry, Dayu ah..!" Minjun mumbled, no doubt he's feeling bad for me, because he never called me by my name unless he's really feeling bad or guilty about something.
"It's okay.." I tried to smile looking as normal and as unflustered as I possibly could, but I am not feeling normal at all. And I am flustered. Truthfully. And I don't know what Minjun was apologising for actually.
"It's annoying to see you like this; Dayu ah.." and Yang, too, had never called me by my given name even back when we're still together, unless there's something he's not happy with me or my conduct. Just like I didn't know what Minjun was apologising for, I also didn't know what Yang was not happy with me.
"Jin Yang! Stop it..!!" Minjun finally gave his boyfriend a punch on his arm. Yang grimaced and rubbed his arm, looking at Minjun.
"But, I'm only telling the truth!" He defended himself.
"Shhh!" Auntie Huiyin, probably had had enough of my blurred and confused expression, that she motioned for the two men to be quiet.
I gulped as I looked desperately at Ah To and Siew Li, who just fell completely quiet and had not said anything at all. They just gave me a strange look, filled with sympathy.
