“Before we debuted Donghae and I liked the same girl. We didn’t know about each other having a crush on her. This girl contacted both me and Donghae, after I found out that she also contacted him I felt that I shouldn’t keep in contact with her anymore, and kept telling her good things about Donghae like ‘Donghae is a good guy blah blah’. I found out later that Donghae knew about my good relationship with this girl and was helping me say good things. We were doing exactly the same thing. In the end we met up on a rainy day, all 3 of us, the girl was crying and asking whether we were playing with her. She thought we were joking. At this time we knew that the loyalty we had for each other was very strong. We went home together without an umbrella. It felt really great.”
