"On a torn piece of paper

I wrote down how I really feel
And it's getting clearer, there's somethin' bout you
Yeah, you look like me but are somehow different
I wonder if you feel the way that I do
I'm getting my hopes up"

Hasula

"Ha, ha, ha, katawa
Ha, ha, ha, hasula
Ning kahimtanga
Selos nga lisod gyud kapugngan
Labaw nag siya ang imong kauban
Ngano mang mahadlok kong ma wa ka
Nga wa man gyud tika ma ako-a
Maong sorry na
Wa ko gyud damha
Akong dakong sala
Na-fall ko nimo do
Promise, 'di na gyud ma-otro
Kay di ta uyab, wala'y ikaw ug ako
Apan kung mag selos ko
Ayaw pag buot
Sige na lang ta ani'g
Ha, ha, ha, katawa
Ha, ha, ha, hasula"

"Wow, what is the title of the song?" She ask

"Hasula by Kurt Fick"

"The song, what does it mean?"

"It is a Bisaya song, it talks about unrequited love that the boy loves the girl but the girl loves another one"

When Sua heard it, she can't help but to bitterly smile, "The song.... why does it so deep? It really hurts to see a love one with another one"

"It is"

"Sua, hear me out, ***** cheated at you"

"Oh shut up! You just wanted me to broke up with him because you love me"

"No, Sua! I really do love you and I wanted to know the truth"

Sua wanted not to believe in him but he showed a picture that his boyfriend kissed another girl

"N-no... this is not true..."

"It is, Sua... I really saw him at that time..."

"Sua, Sua, Sua" Junghyuck called her many times but Sua didn't response, she kept staring at the wall and her tears falls down. He hold at Sua's face
