*panel of DG's mouth dark overcast*

DG: "during high school"

***cue flashback***

*panel of DG walking with a group of his high school friends*

--I had a group of really close friends--
--I was always hanging out with them--

*panel highlighting DG being pensive and grateful*
--because of my poor social skills, I was really grateful for them to have approached me first and got close with me--
DG thinking: 'They're really nice and awesome for including someone like me in their group'

*panel of Sungwoong coming and grabbing DG by the shoulder*
Sungwoong: "Dongboi! Why are you smiling~? Something good happen?" (T/N: nicknames are hard XD he just says a shortened version of his name but wanted to emphasis how close they were with a ...dumbass nickname lmaooo)

DG: "Oh!"

*panel of DG looking up to a smiling Sungwoong and panel underneath of a blushing DG*
Sungwoong: "Let's grab a bite~?"

*dark background with narration text*
--and later I began feeling attracted to one of my friends--

*panel of a high school DG pensively thinking on the bed*
--At first I thought it was just feelings of friendship, but that wasn't it.--
--I continued to think of him and how I always wanted to see him--

*zoomed panel of blushing and pensive high school DG on bed*
--That's how I came to realize my sexual orientation--

*panel of DG walking into a classroom and side panel of kids messing around with a gay video*
--But I couldn't tell anyone about it--
Dumbass kid 1: "hey check this out! disgusting! haha"
Dumbass kid 2: "Ack hey! it's a gay video! Get that away before I kick your ass"

*panel of a worried DG with dark overcast background looking from the sidelines*
--I knew very well that I should hide the fact I was gay when I was around them--

*panel of DG taking off some random dust dirt off of sungwoong*
--That's why I just preferred a friendship instead of something more--
DG: "hey you got dust or something on your shirt here"
--That was enough for me...--
*panel of onlookers watching DG take off some dust dirt*

--but I suppose that's where it all began.--

*panel of DG walking through the hallway filled with people murmuring*
--One day, a rumor was going around at school saying that I was gay--

*DG and some random kid bumping into each other*
Dumbass kid 3: "Hey! watching where you're going!"
*panel of DG looking sad and looking down as he walks*
Dumbass kid 4: *offpanel* "hey it's that gay bastard!"
Dumbass kid 3: "Seriously?!!! Ah shit he dirtied my shoulder then!."

*dark panel white smokey background*
--I didn't care what strangers said behind my back--
--I thought that if I was with my friends, everything would be fine--

--but...--

*panel of DG's group of "friends" in the distance murmuring about something*

*panel of DG coming up to them*

*panel of the group looking back with looming background and in disgust and judging*

*panel of DG being taken aback and shocked and worried*
DG: "!"

*panel of someone in the group beginning to say something*

*panel of sungwoong looking at DG in disgust with red and black ominous background*
Sungwoong: (T/N: wow who would have guessed *sarcasm*) "you're gay right?"

*panel of DG running away from the group. Dark looming background*
--One of my friends were the one that started the rumor--
--that friend was the guy I liked--

*panel of DG's face with his hand covering his mouth looking sick*
--In that moment, the relationship and good experiences that I had with them crumbled and collapsed--
--That betrayal hurt so much that I felt sick--
*panel of bathroom stall slammed closed*
*panel of DG shaking and puking over the toilet*

*panel of DG in complete tears*

*narration panel half dark*
--I decided that never again will I believe in someone--

*DG walking the halls alone*
--And that's how I got accustomed to being alone--
--I was afraid of getting close to someone and confiding in them I was gay only to have them avoid me afterwards--

*panel of DG looking down at his feet. headshot only. looking lonely*

DG: *offpanel* "What?!"

*panel of serious drawings lol. of them laying and conversing with each other*

Jiwon: "And what about Jaejin?"

"The trauma that came from that experience during high school prevented me from being able to tell anyone else"

*panel of Jaejin smiling*
"But I think soon i'll be able to tell him"
"I only tried to hide it because I thought that if he knew I was gay, he would avoid me just like everyone else"

*panel of DG smiling and slightly blushing*
" But these past days, I wanted to tell the people close to me"

*panel of Dg turning over to face his body towards Jiwon*

"that it makes me undoubtfully happy to be with you."

*panel of Jiwon superblushing and feeling the throbbbssss lol*
DG: "I think all this is thanks to you sunbae"
Jiwon: "....!"

(T/N: so basically since he's been happy with the relationship and he's happy he gained the confidence in wanting to tell people about himself)

*zoomed out panel showing Jiwon grabbing DG tightly and hugging him tightly being all shy and shit lol*
Jiwon: "....."
DG: "Woah! Sunbae I can't breathe!"

*panel of Jiwon and DG headshot level but still in embrace*

"You can still continue like now and not say anything just yet"
(T/N: he's saying this out of concern)

*Panel of DG and Jaejin smiling at each other during the military days. Friendship smile. nothing more lol*

DG: "Jaejin is a very important person to me."
"Because of that I want to be honest with him."

*panel of DG laying on Jiwon's arm nooked his head into his armpit*
DG: "But it's like you said, how it's been a while but I'm still scared and get anxious"
"I don't know how things will turn out as how I never talked to Jaejin about this subject"
"My friends from high school were close to me but later everything was ruined..."

*Jiwon recalling Jaejin bowing to him thanking him for taking care of DG*

*panel of Jiwon resting his head on his hand as he looks to the side in thought and DG looking up at him*

*panel of Jiwon looking down at DG with panel underneath of DG looking up to Jiwon*
