“Hi.”

“…”

“May atraso ba yung cocktail glass sa’yo?”

“Oh…Hyu—Joohyun, kanina ka pa d’yan?”

“Kung ‘di ka lang busy sa pagtitig nang masama sa baso mo, edi sana kanina mo pa ako napansin.”

“Hehehe, sorry??”

“Kanina pa kita hinahanap. It’s a good thing I know you all too well. Inisip ko agad baka nasa bar ka. And, here you are.”

“…ba’t mo naman ako hahanapin? Shouldn’t you be enjoying yourself?”

“Exactly. Pero ‘di ako natutuwa eh. Alam mo namang ayoko sa mga ganito. Nakaka-drain masyado ng energy.”

“Yeah, yeah. You’d rather lay on your bed and watch TV all day until you fall asleep. You find entertainment by being alone in your room than being in a room full of people.”

“Couldn’t agree more.”

“Kamusta ka? Kayong dalawa? Inaalagaan ka ba niya?”
