Guy's been gone for 10 years. Back in high school, he kissed and confessed to Piano Guy (fellow student). But Piano Guy rejected his confession. He wasn't ready to leave "society"(I assume that means both his home town and his life as a non-gay, since gayness would make him a kind of "outcast" in a rural town.)
But dark-haired guy returns, and it turns out Piano guy has forced a reunion by offering the free place to stay. He also is making it clear, bit by bit, by expression and words that he's now open to the love he was offered before.
Dark-haired guy is still emotionally hurt by that rejection in the past, so he figures he better move out fast (the phone call). But Piano guy makes his last big move: He can stay there either as a roomie (not a relationship, so he'll pay) or as a lover (cohabitate for free).
The ending isn't as open-ended as it seems. It's clear the guy will accept "cohabitation." He still has feelings for PIano guy, and now Piano Guy is unafraid to proceed with the feelings of his own.
Thank you! Wow, I understand the story much better now, and so much is actually said! Ah I do I do I do wish I can star or upvote you :D Everyone must read it!
Glad to be of help. I like happy endings, so it's nice these two ended happy. Not "dark history" as the last dialogue says (the Piano guy kinda teasing)
*cries in a puddle*
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STORY SOMEONE PLEASE HALP!!
