Code red.

"May pa-Code Red ka Joohyun a kaya sinakripisyo namin ni Ligaya ko ebab time namin this Saturday night for you," Wendy said as she pulled out the paraphernalia for their "Code Red" - one Emperador and a bottle of Coke.

"So ano ngang dahilan ng Code Red na 'yan, Joohyun?" Joy asked as she poured whiskey into a shotglass.

"Na 3x2 ako mga mare," Joohyun said, grabbing the shot glass from Joy's hand and downing the liquor in one go.

"Ha? Sino nakapagpa-3x2 sa 'yo?" Wendy and Joy shouted at the same time. 

"3x2" is a reference and slight deviation from the immortal line muttered by Popoy, the character of John Lloyd Cruz in the classic Pinoy romantic flim "One More Chance." 

His line goes - "Bash, hindi mo ba alam ang 3-month rule? Lahat ng taong na-inlove alam 'yun, maghihintay ka muna, tatlong buwan, bago ka makipag-relasyon muli."

And the one and only person na nakapag-3x2 kay Joohyun ay - 

"Si Bilog," she said, hiding her face in her hands.

"Putspa kaya pala lagi kang naka-blazer na e at naka-power red lipstick!" Joy exclaimed.

"Pansin ko nga humahaba leeg ng batang 'yung

Chapter 30: I'm crying 😭 This is too good, so heartwarming. Grabe 'yung pinagdaanan nila and how they strengthened each other. They might've lost what they had at a time but they found each other again, braver and better the second time around. I love this so much. Thank you for writing. 🥺

Chapter 30: wow, this fic is just WOW. i wish joohyun's character did not do what she did but i guess if she does then this story will not be good as hell. im trying to read more tagalog seulrene fics bc i feel like i almost read the english ones but the tagalog fics are way too long and more complicated than this at sobrang daming red flag either ni seulgi or ni irene, hindi ko ma-take andi like this writing style better. thank you for writing this fic author, i enjoyed it so much

Chapter 30: Wow. This is probably one of the few tagalog (of taglish basta Pinas ang setting) fics that I've read na may tama talaga yung story. Madalas kasi ang angst ng tagalog fics puro external driving force and walang character development. Puro toxic relationship na walang roots. Ang ganda ng self (re)discovery ni Joohyun and Yung very human na justification ng kagagahan nya (the familiar heartbreak vs. new heartbreak) ang ganda ganda ng atake ng angst na yun!
