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 Apartment Complex
Qing's POV
I parked my car at the usual spot in front of Dayu's apartment complex, which I had been using to park my car for the last one year.
There's no difference between all the weekends that I arrived here before, than today; except for one thing. There was a car, a BMW, sometimes parked next to the parking space I used, either it would be there before or after me, but I never met the driver.
Today, however, somebody was inside. The engine of the BMW was running when I killed mine. I had a strange feeling as glanced at the car parked next to mine.
When I walked out of my car, the other person also walked out of his. And my strange feeling came around full circle. That's why I had been feeling peculiar.
Lee Jin Rui. He's the son of Lee Jin Wong, the owner of this apartment complex. Rui, was the young man who dared to look at Dayu with so much love in his eyes, despite knowing that his lover (me) was there seeing everything.
We met for the first time during the night I came to the owner's apartment and asked to be brought to Dayu; The night which Dayu almost slipped out of my hands, for the second time.
I thought that I would be bumping into him around ,a lot, considering that he was openly opposing me that night, and he was clearly showing his feelings for Dayu without bothering to hide anything. Yet, I only saw him several times, and that was only from a distance; like that day when Dayu and I went out to the café, and I saw him at the other side, in his running attire looking at us. And like that time when Dayu and I were doing our grocery shopping at the nearby supermarket and I saw him from the other side of the shop with his own grocery.
But, that's about it. I thought he would come at me, upfront and declare war against me, over Dayu's affection. Yet, that didn't happen. It was as if he kept his distance from Dayu. A smart move on his part.
But I knew that he still had feelings for Dayu though. The two times that I saw him, even from that distance, the look in the man's eyes as he gazed at Dayu, I knew it very well. The affection, the adoration; the man didn't hide anything. It made my skin crawl and also made my blood boil as I suppressed the urge to shield Dayu from the man's sight. I resisted the impulse to do so, because Dayu was clearly unaware of the man's presence or gaze.
My beloved person, was still as dense as he was pretty, even at twenty-eight. He very seldom realised how much his presence caused a stir amongst people, if he ever did at all. He never seemed to notice that he could attract people; men and women alike. When I pointed it out to Dayu though, he only looked at me in disbelief, telling me that I was just imagining things.
"You're the one those people were looking at..you moron.." he sneered at me and completely went on with what he was doing, obliviously.
I knew that. I knew that I could attract people too. I never denied it. It's just that, not all people would look at only me when Dayu and I were together. Their eyes would stray from me to Dayu.
