“Don’t make this hard for me, Hyunnie.”

 

 

 

“Ang dami kong pinanghihinayangan.”

 

 

 

“…”

 

 

 

“You’re, we’re, on top of the list, Wan.”

 

 

 

“…I don't know what to say.”

 

 

 

“You don’t have to say anything. You know, it could’ve been you, it could’ve been us.”

 

 

 

“Tayo sana ikakasal bukas, ‘no?” Kung ‘di ka lang duwag no’n eh.

 

 

 

“I was so sure we were meant for each other. Pero minsan hinihiling ko rin na sana ‘di kita nakilala.”

 

 

 

“Aray ko naman. Inaano ba kita?”

 

 

 

“’Di mo deserve lahat ng sakit na binigay ko sa’yo, Seungwan. I should have treated and loved you better.”

 

 

 

“You had your reasons. You had your priorities.” Career over anything else. Over me.

 

 

 

“Now that I think about it, my reasons were invalid.”

 

 

 

Pero valid siya noon to the point na nagawa mo akong bitawan? 

 

 

 

“Edi wala ka sanang career ngayon? Hahahaha.”

 

 

 

“What do you mean?”

 

 

 

“Kung ‘di mo ako nakilala, wala kang magiging inspirasyon sa mga kantang sinulat mo. Ako kaya money maker mo.”

 

 

 

“Ang kapal mo naman. Walang tungkol sa’yo, ‘no.”

 

 

 

“Sus, nahiya ka pang umamin. Sige, kunwari maniniwala na lang ako.”

 

 

 

“Why are we even talking about this?”

 

 

 

“Ikaw kaya nag-umpisa.”

 

 

 

“Ewan ko sa’yo.”

 

 

 

 

“...Hyun?”

 

 

 

“Ano?”

 

 

 

“Uhm, gusto ko lang malaman…”

 

 

 

“Hmm?”

 

 

 

 

“Bakit siya?” Bakit hindi ako? Hinintay naman kita.

 

 

 

“…”

 

 

“Okay, you don't have to ans—”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Eh, ikaw? Bakit si Rosé?”
