Dan Heng has always been secretive about his thoughts.

It’s not as if you minded either. He finds that whenever he opens up a topic that’d pique you, he’d find himself listening in idle as you prattle one word after another. The friendship between the two of you was considered eccentric — and Dan Heng thinks it could be because he was far more introverted than you.

Still, he doesn’t mind, never minded that his ears would get talked off. You’ve always seemed to be passionate about the things you speak of and it makes him delighted that it’s him, out of all people, that you seem to be making time for constantly.

“Would you rather be someone’s first love or last love?” He interrupts your train of thoughts, an expression of curiosity etches on his face as if he had been itching to blurt it out.
