Chapter 12 - Side story 5: Manly tears

Whether he's really upset about things or just a day in life is not his day, or just things aren't going his way... be it work, his feelings, his situation or anything... When we first started going out he used to hide everything and say he's okay even though he's not. But one day I heard sounds from the locked room. I heard him weeping. He was trying to suppress his voice as much as he could so no one can hear his voice. I heard him that day. I'm really thankful I heard him crying that day. Had I not, maybe he would've buried himself in his emotions until it became toxic and just ate his happiness away...So that day I sat him down and talked to him and asked why he was hiding his feelings away... He and I knew that I was asking him a question to which both of us knew the answer to. But I wanted to hear him say it out loud. But before I asked him anything, he came out of the room and just put up the usual act of being cheerful and happy but when I said I know what he had been doing behind those closed doors... He just collapsed on to the floor and begged me not to leave him. That is when I realised that something has been bothering him from a really long time...
