-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a bit, he decided to leave since he had already seen what he wanted to see, and more but it was just unfortunate enough because he felt a slap on his back, it didn't hurt but it startled him quite a bit.

And as the composed man he is, he jumped in fright and immediately looked at the culprit. It was Oliver and he looked at him with teary eyes but he was smiling happily too.

'Did something happen? But he looks happy... The dude cried though, just look at those eyes...Being a friend is hard...'

He shook his head and thought about this, it was a strange thing to ask someone about their lives. Things aren't as simple as saying 'So did something happen?' because it would drag people into 2 scenarios, the 'I don't want to talk about that' or the 'Yes you want to hear about it?'. Both scenarios would be a pain for the person who asked the question, simply because in the 1st scenario the conversation would become awkward and you would get hurt because the person didn't trust you enough to talk about their worries.

This in itself is contradicting but then again humans are weird in many ways, you care and don't care at the same time, you want people to depend on you but not at the same time. Daeho knew it and he was slightly awkward in these situations because he was hypocritical in a sense since he himself if worried about something or hurt he would take it and absorb it while overly thinking about it, he didn't like to talk about his problems to people but he wanted to help others.

But it would bring you to the 2nd scenario where you would get into a conversation with a hurt person, and in that sense, they would speak their minds and never stop, and if you gave them your advice they would hear it and nod, but then they wouldn't implement your advice doing the complete opposite, this in itself was frustrating but as a friend, you should ask if they are have something in their mind. Hours of someone rambling about something, yeh Daeho would gladly avoid that, but at the same, he wanted to help.

Daeho was conflicted with his thoughts and he might be cold in a sense, but humans are driven by their own benefit. He wanted to have a friend so he should worry about them.

''Hello Oliver, uhhh what is with the reddened eyes?''

But once he asked Oliver about what made him look like that he felt embarrassed about himself. Oliver replied to him with a bright and innocent smile.

''I am sad because of your song, but I am really happy you accomplished one of your goals.''

It actually was such a pure answer that Daeho felt bad about his internal struggle. He knew he was on the selfish side but helped people anyway. He himself on the parallel world he donated money and everything about that, he had been to the rich side, because of his adoptive mother's mother (Grandma) she was a woman which was loaded and it all fell to her daughter which then fell to him. This is to say that he made big donations and did so often, and it was because he felt bad for the people and donated, but it was mostly for self-satisfaction. He didn't want to feel regret or think about what he could have done for those people since it would haunt him emotionally.

Was it a bad thing? No, because he donated and did help people, while he never harmed anyone. Was it a selfish act? Yes absolutely. It never is about fame or anything it is about yourself in the end. You want to feel good because you helped someone in the end. Selfless acts of goodwill its because the person doesn't want to feel remorse for not doing something and instinctively moving and helping. It is that simple.

And for people who acted and thought like this Oliver's actions were something that hit him in the core. He felt bad in a way, but his gaze grew tender looking at this selfless guy. The dude was just too innocent, so instinctively his hands moved forward and patted his head.

Oliver's eyes grew and he looked shocked at the act of intimacy that Daeho was showing. Daeho wasn't the touchy type and would most of the time just be there with a little distance, he would be friendly to them and even speak to them but it was a long way for them to be called close, and this act from a person like this was a big thing. So he just received the pat and smiled and giggled a bit.

''Thank you, the song is just like that nostalgic so you don't have to worry. How did it go on your side?'' Daeho asked while looking like a big brother asking his younger brother's grades.

In return, Oliver just looked to the side. ''Eh, I am ranked 7 in dance and 10 in singing. *Sigh* I need to improve my singing, I have been neglecting it.''

Daeho nodded, and knew he would be ranked higher than him in dancing, Oliver was a really good dancer after all, and just like that they spoke about many things like the ranks of the others. In which to his surprise Hana had been ranked number 1 in singing while Jun had ranked 3rd in dancing. It was really strange to hear about it since the girl group they had a hangout with was talented it seemed. They dominated from the Top 15 rank. With people, he didn't know being ranked high too, something he didn't particularly care about but got to know because of how talkative Oliver was.

Supposedly the Vulcano dude and serene dude were quite the talented couple. With serene guy being the 2nd ranked singer and the volcano dude being ranked 1 in dancing. These 2 were actually no joke, Oliver was quite enthusiastic when he spoke about them.

''Actually, those 2 are really talented, Both came from the number 1 company and they chose this company because well the red haired Mo Tai-bum had quit for some reason, the blue haired Min Joon-ki followed it seemed that they were both really good friends, and are always together, besides they complement each other's weakness, I never spoke to them but have seen them perform. I really want to speak to them but Taibum is really scary...''

Daeho just laughed at this pink haired guy's antics, really a silly person. In the end, he went to dinner with everyone, the trio, and the girls. In which to not leave Nisha alone at home he brought her along. The girls always flocked around the little kitten to her dismay, and Nisha would try to do her best and ignore everyone and focus on making Daeho pet her.

It was a funny thing to watch and to the unfortunate girls who wanted to hold Nisha, they only managed to pet her while she lay on his lap.
