00:00It's not his fault that he doesn't love you, because love doesn't force you to do it.

00:04But it's his fault that you believe the person you love, even if the truth is that he doesn't love you.

00:10But did he tell you the whole truth?

00:14Did he tell you if he really loves you?

00:19Do you really want to kiss me?

00:22Do you really...

00:24Did you really love me when you first kissed me?

00:26What's the real reason? Did he tell you?

00:29Even though we're friends, I don't have the courage to ask him because I'm afraid to answer.

00:38What's the real score?

00:41Honestly, right now, I'm the only one who understands what happened before.

00:52Of course, I'm the one who broke up. I'm the good guy. I'm still a good guy. I'm not a bad person.

00:59Now, I realize that I took a lot from him.

01:05I wish I could give him something more authentic.

01:10Or he could give you what he gave you.

01:13What do you mean by more authentic?

01:15Because now, I realize that I do everything because I need to look like a man.

01:24Why do you keep on saying that? You need to look like a man.

01:28What is your gender identity?

01:31Because I'm gay.

01:39And then, I told him that.

01:43I know. He told me that in the second part of our relationship,

01:50the three-fourths, after the three-fourths,

01:55there was one time when we were on our way home and I was just staring at him.

02:03I asked him,

02:05Do you want to confess something to me?

02:08But at that time, my intention was just to hear sweet words.

02:12Because, words of affirmation, I'm a girly person.

02:15But then, he suddenly confessed that at that moment,

02:20he had internal struggles with his sexuality.

02:25At that time, I didn't know how to handle such a big problem,

02:34or such a big confession.

02:37So, what I did at that time, since I'm a psych major,

02:43You can see signs that you understand.

02:46Yes, and at the same time, I prioritized his welfare.

02:50Because he told me at that time that I shouldn't leave him,

02:54because he had dark days.

02:56What does that mean? What are dark days?

02:58Because, since I was a child, I was forced to deny my sexuality.

03:06Because my family is religious.

03:08Of course, if you're gay, you're straight.

03:11That's what they're telling you.

03:13That's what they believe.

03:15If you're gay, you're straight to hell.

03:17Yes, until my childhood, I didn't know who I was.

03:26Because I was hiding.

03:29I had to hide, because if I didn't,

03:32what would my relatives or my parents do to me?

03:37I didn't know what they would do to me.

03:39My classmates bullied me every day.

03:45I didn't know if I could handle it

03:49if I acknowledged to myself that I was gay.

03:53So, it was very heavy.

04:02And then, during that time, when I confessed to him,

04:06there were other family problems.

04:09Because our family was dysfunctional.

04:18I needed to be able to hold on to him.

04:23And then, that time, I also remember that

04:25I told him that I wasn't gay, but I told her I was bisexual.

04:30Because that was more acceptable.

04:33But the truth is, you're gay.

04:35Yes.

04:37Now, we understand better why it's not clear to you

04:42if you're in love.

04:44Why it's not clear to you what you felt when you kissed.

04:50What's the reason why you're chasing him again?

04:54Now, it's clear that those are your ways to protect yourself.

05:03Because you felt like, all your life,

05:05you felt like you were in trouble.

05:10And that's what a lot of gay people feel,

05:13or a lot of members of the LGBTQIA plus community in society.

05:17A lot of people go through that every day.

05:21You felt so unsafe, right?

05:24Every day, if I need to fight,

05:28I need to be strong because

05:31it's like no one wants to accept me.

05:39It really hurts.

05:46It's good that you're saying that you need to fight every day.

05:49Not everyone goes through that.

05:52Some need to hide every day.

05:56Not to fight, but to hide.

06:01He's the only one who understands me.

06:07At first, you used him to hide.

06:10To look like a man.

06:15Because you have a girlfriend.

06:16So that they won't cheat on you.

06:18So that your family won't think,

06:22Oh, he's not going to hell anymore because he has a girlfriend.

06:25Right?

06:26Yes.

06:27Right?

06:30Because of the hate you feel towards that person,

06:35where will he go?

06:38Where will he go?

06:41What decisions will he make?

06:43I'm not saying that what he did to you was right.

06:46I'm not saying that was right.

06:48Because what we used for our protection,

06:53but we hurt him,

06:55that will never be right.

06:57But I understand where you're coming from.

06:59Why you went to that decision.

07:18I'm sorry.

07:19I'm sorry.
