Dome's favourite pastime was always staying at home. Listening to music, cooking, reading books or new scripts. This is also why it was so easy to find him, on his free day.
Everyone knew he'd be at home.

He was in the middle of brewing his coffe, when Dome heard loud knocking on his door. He looked through the viser, to see no one other than Tae Darvid, his ex boyfriend.
How can I help you? , asked Dome opening the doors for the visitor.
We need to talk, responded Tae entering the apartment without a second thought.
Sure. Just come in why don't you, answered bitterly Dome.

They broke up about a month ago because Tae decided he didn't love him anymore.
It was difficult to be civil or better yet friendly, but Dome did his best.
Dome looked angrily at Tae, who was currently dressed in a black t-shirt, form fitting jeans, black converse and sleeked to the black hair.

He looked like he just came of from the stage 'Grease, the musical'. Tae was also looking at Dome. He though that he hadn't changed a bit.
He was dressed in white shirt, black suit pants and loafers. His hair was free of any product, with the fringe cutely covering his forehead.
Are you gonna talk or keep staring at me?- Dome started angrily. He wasn't sure if Tae is checking him out or not but he wanted to be left in peace.
Sorry , Tae said startled. - I was just surprised how you haven't changed a bit. You still look handsome as ever. He started, but seeing the expression on the other's face, he got to the point.
I think you might be in Danger, he stated showing Done the note he produced from his back pocket
Done took it and read the red letter writing.

Back off from Dome.
You don't belong together.
Stop following him, talking to him or hanging around him or else he'll pay.

Dome wasn't sure what to think about this. Was this a threat or a promise? Was he in danger or Tae?
Ok, what did you do? Asked Dome. Who's heart did you break this time and why are you involving me into this? He asked exasperated.
Tae looked offended.
-I didn't do anything,- he exclaimed -If someone is here to blame is you, for letting me go half a year ago.
-You broke up with me, Dome said tiredly, sitting on the couch.
-Because you told me to
-Because you were cheating on me
-Because you paid no attention to me
- I had problems. And you chose to cheat. So what did you do to Tee? Did you also hurt him?
- He broke up with me, Tae said angrily. Dome was surprised. He and Tee were close childhood friends. When he had a drunked night of passion with Tae, he felt really guilty and confessed to everything to Dome.
Dome couldn't be angry at him. Afterall he was single, his boyfriend on the other hand...
Both of the childhood friends had the same beliefs.
One of them being;

"If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you truly loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen for the second."

Thats why Dome gave an ultimatum to Tae and he chose wrongly. He decided to have a casual relationship with Tee, no strings attached, by that hurting the latter.
- From the note I'm assuming you were staking me? Dome asked.
- Of course not. I was just wondering how you are doing, so I just asked around. Tae defended himself.
He came closer to Dome, attempting to hug him, but the one in question got off promptly from the couch, opened the door and motioned to Tae to leave.
-Ok. Thank you for the warning. You may leave. It's clear from the note, that nothing bad is going to happen unless we keep seeing each other. So lets not, he declared.
-Just like that? Asked Tae. He looked angry. You're not going to even consider us getting back together?
-We both made mistakes...-started Tae
- You made them, clarified Dome
-... But that was a long time ago. We can learn on our mistakes and go forward.
- Exactly. Go our seperate ways. Never talk again. Interjected Dome.
He wasn't very good with confrontations and he wasn't sure how to force Tae out of the apartment.
That is until he heard a voice from the outside of his open front door.
- Hi cutie.
