"Ako si Laine, girlfriend ni Mark!"

"Gaga, kaloka kang bata ka", he hit the girl's head for which Laine just glared at him.

"Oo naman para lang sayo, ayieee~"

"Iwan na nga natin Heart."

"A-ah, sige..."

Mark was bewildered, why did she go silent so suddenly? A furious Laine was left behind by the two, yet thankfully she went the other way towards where the elevators were (Mark knew she was just pretending to get mad. That girl barely looks scary).

Finally, they arrived at the company's cafeteria. Heart slowly let go of the latter's hand without any force intended. His warmth was something else, something she was afraid to let go of. If they had still been holding each other, she didn't know whether she would have the courage to release from his cozy grasp.

"Oh, Earth to Heart, andiyan ka na ba broskie?"

"Broskie, parang engeng."

"Anong gusto?"

"..."

"Broskie it is", she rolled her eyes, Mark chuckled at it.

"Order ka na broskie", he said once more.

"Kumulo dugo ko doon sa babaeng 'yun."

"Wow naman pakwan."

"Ay selos."

"Tangina ka, Peace. Sige nga explain", she swiftly sat down from her bed and stared at her laptop that was on her lap, curious just what her friend would answer to her from those weird feelings she had earlier.

"Its self-explanatory, Miss Pakwan."

"Bwisit, paenglish-english ka pang nalalaman diyan", Heart cursed.

"I don't understand you", Jasmine teased.

"Can't kasi yun."

"Grammarly ka na pala."

"Hindi ka lang ata nag-aral ng basic English, bes.'

"HOY! Bakit English na pinaguusapan natin dito", barked Heart through the video call.

"May aso pala tayong kasama."

"Gago."

"Okay okay stop stop mga tite."

"E-explain mo na ba?"

"Malamang... Hindi."

"Desperado ako pisbol ka."

"Oo na, sinagot ko naman kanina toh ha..."

"Ano yun?"

"Sabi niya selos ka daw, bingi", Jasmine retorted.

"Sabi mo biglang sumama tingin mo sa babae diba? Tas sabi mo kumulo dugo mo, bintawan mo pa nga yung kamay ni Mark eh noong nasa cafeteria na kayo. Diba, self-explanatory."

"Tas yun pala kapatid lang niya, nako naman pakwan whip ka alam ko", giggled Jasmine.

"Kinikilig ka naman diyan", Kai bitterly said.

"Hay nako, sana all may crush."

"Ikaw nga makatitig ka kay Jaehyun eh."

"Putangina, halata ba?"

"Oo."

"As in", Kaye butted in.

"Nako bukas naman mga tite kayo."

"Ikaw naman ang leader", they all said altogether.
