According to Ryan, he started thinking those "what ifs."
"For the (past) 12 years na akala ko wala akong pag-asa, akala ko ayaw mo sa akin, kaya ako naduwag sa sarili ko, kaya ko hindi ko tinuloy, siyempre, yung nararamdaman ko sayo. Hindi ko napanindigan yung naramdaman ko sayo kasi natakot din ako sa sarili ko," he said.
It didn't help that he mistook Yeng's "best friend" Richard Poon as her boyfriend.
"Kung di ako naduwag nun, kung pinu-push ko yung nararamdaman ko sayo nun baka hanggang ngayon, tayo pa rin, di ba? Di natin alam?"
Ryan regretted he chose to be a coward man. He remembered his shortcomings as a suitor. The Kapamilya star admitted how he was losing his confidence.
Then he recalled the time he and Yeng went out for a date. They used Yeng's van because he doesn't have his own car yet. Ryan said he wanted to treat her family but didn't have the means. "Kasi tuwing kumakain kami, siya nagbabayad. Di ko kaya BGC. Gusto ko talaga manlibre."
"...Tuwing punta concert, dami nag sigaw. Pagkatapos concert, dami magpa-picture sayo pero di ako kilala ng mga tao. Nahihiya ako sa sarili ko na parang di ako para sayo... Yun ang naramdaman ko, kahit totoo naman yung naramdaman ko sayo at minahal naman talaga kita."
Ryan said he stopped courting her because he thought their feelings for each other weren't mutual.
"Kaya gusto ko talaga ngayong araw, gusto ko mag-sorry na hindi ko akalain na may pag-asa pala ako sayo."
Yeng explained her side. She said that all along she thought Ryan just gave up and got tired.
"Parang na feel ko nun, parang galing ako sa isang conservative na family na 'Ah wag kang pa-party sa labas, wag kang gagawa ng mga ano.. pag gabi wag ka lalabas.' Feel ko, siguro, na pagod na si Ryan sa kakaantay."
Yeng admited she was heartbroken that she kept listening to the song "I'll Never Get Over You."
Music also helped Yeng move on, revealing that Ryan was her inspiration to "B.A.B.A.Y."
Which lyrics goes: "Pwede mo naman akong i-text / Pwede ka rin namang tumawag / Pwede mo rin namang ipasabi kay manong Bogart / Pero bigla kang nawala / Para kang bula (plook) / 'Yun nawala / Bigla kang nawala / Sana nagpasabi ka man lang / Hindi gan'to wala akong alam."
"Ang dali kayang magsabi ng babay / Ang dali kayang magsabi ng babay / Ang dali kayang magsabi ng babay / B-A-B-A-Y."
