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
Ann's POV
I left Dayu's apartment with a mixed feelings.
Dayu hugged me and promised me that he'd come and visit me from now on. And that he'd come and pay his respect formally to baba.
Qing looked at me; with his eyes both pleading and stubborn; he's not going to leave Dayu's side. And there's nothing I could say or do to make him.
My heart was torn in two. I love them both. I love Dayu; he's the angel who saved me and my father. He's my brother even though we aren't related by blood. And I do love Qing. Despite everything that I had said to him; I still love him. He's my cousin. My blood related family. He's the brother who had taken care of me ever since I could remember.
I love them both. That's why it terrifies my; to lose either one of them. I am terrified that if something goes wrong this around, I might really lose one of them or even worse; both of them. And I don't want that.
Dayu still loved Qing. That much is obvious. I don't know for sure; just how much, because three years ago, I know that Dayu loved Qing to the extent of giving all of himself to Qing despite knowing how it would turn out. Dayu was crazy over Qing then. Crazy enough to risk heartache and pain to be in such a toxic relationship. But, I had the feeling that that's not the case this time around. Maybe Dayu had learn his lesson. But, I also knew for sure that Dayu still loved Qing.
And as for Qing; my cousin Qing, I knew that he was a fool and he's as blind as a bat when I learned about what's really going on between him and Dayu three years ago. And I also knew since then; that Qing had called in love with Dayu, for sure.
Somewhere along the way, of their two years 'contract' relationship' Qing had actually fallen deeply for Dayu. And I think it had already begun since the very beginning. Qing was just too blind and too much of a fool in the feelings department that he completely missed it. It wasn't until Dayu left that it hit him. And it hit him hard.
When I learned about what happened; how much pain and suffering Dayu must have gone through; in the two years of them being together, it took a very long time for me to forgive him.
And I had forgiven Qing now. Baba actually had forgiven Qing longer than me; though neither one of us had told Qing that.
It's just that, whenever baba saw Qing, he'd get into a rage which he couldn't control. It was strange. Baba actually forgave Qing a few months after Dayu disappeared, telling me not to be too hard on Qing because he's such a fool in love, that he's being so pitiful. But, strangely enough, he couldn't see Qing without getting angry.
"I guess forgiving has nothing to do with being angry and irritated everytime I see Qing.." Baba once said to me when I questioned him, about why he threw a fitting rage everytime Qing tried to see him, even though he had forgiven Qing.
