호시
"He was the second.

I loved him even more than I thought I could at the time.

I knew it was foolish.
I was gullible, falling for the slightest smile he aimed towards me, or his sweet gentleman acts.
But I thought, I was about to get my happy fairytale ending.

He was ideal.
When we were away from the crowds anyways.
He'd always hug me, kiss me, show that he really loved me. He saved me from the pain Mingyu gave me.

The thing is,
he wanted us to be a secret.

Outside,
He was always paranoid.
What if someone found out?
That he liked boys.
And that I do too.

I tried to help him.
I told him it didn't matter.
What mattered was us.

But, his fear towered over his love for me."

우지
I feel myself getting a bit lighter as I continue to speak about my past.

You're such a good listener.
You just sit there, not uttering a word whilst you wait for me to finish.

I'm thankful for that.

"I've always kept my sexuality unsaid.

I never really thought of it as much importance. Never thought it was weird.
It's not something to brag about.

So when people found out about it,
I didn't think of it as a big deal.

But,
of course,
it was."
