'jaehyun!'

nakatulog nanaman ba ako?

'tulog ng tulog. doon mo na sa dorm ituloy yan.'

hi, i'm jaehyun. jaehyun jung. trainee ako. for how many years you may ask? 8 years. still no progress. i feel like i'm being left out kasi nauna pang nag-debut sakin ung mga bago lang na trainees.

i don't know who to blame. myself? the company? don't know if i'll make it out. pero ito, still thriving.

'mauna na kayo, practice muna ako.'

'that's what you always say. alas-dos na ng umaga oh, ang lalim na ng mata mo.'

'i can manage. go ahead, sunod nalang ako.'

'jaehyun, masyado kang papilit. baka mamaya may isusugod nanaman kaming sobrang putla sa ospital kasi hindi na kumakain. 4 days straight.'

'taeyong, okay lang ako.'

'jaehyun, maghapon mo nang kaharap yang salamin bakit hindi mo makita ung itsura mo ngayon? lantang lanta ka na oh. hindi kita hinintay dito hanggang hatinggabi para iwan ka lang. sasama ka sakin. let's go.'

wala na akong magawa kasi kinuha niya na lahat ng gamit ko saka lumabas.

he's taeyong. 4 years after i got into the company, sumunod naman siya. hindi ko agad nakakasundo ibang trainees pero when he came, everything suddenly changed. as if my world got brighter.

sobrang seryoso ko non kaya iniisip ng ibang trainees dito, specially those who are younger than me that i'm intimidating and that it's hard to get close with me.

pero taeyong, and the rest of the boys that i am training with thinks differently. hindi ko alam kung ano na nangyari sakin ngayon without them.

i don't want to be separated by them. ever since i got far from my family, sila na nagsilbing pangalawang pamilya ko rito.

they know how to handle things the easy way when it's involving me, and them. i want to debut with them.

i promised them and myself that we'll debut together, no matter what happens. i know that i cannot manage to survive in this industry alone, but with these guys? i know for sure na kakayanin namin.

tulog na silang lahat maliban kay jungwoo, na nanonood pa rin sa salas.

'kuwago ka ba? alas tres na oh, hindi ba uso sa inyo ung salitang tulog?'

'kararating mo lang high blood ka agad? eto naman. nagpapaantok lang. yan, tanong mo kay jaehyun kung uso sa kaniya ung salitang un.'

'pareho lang kayo. buti nga napilit ko pa tong umuwi.'

tumawa nalang ako as a response. mejo masakit na rin kasi katawan ko kaya magpapahinga na rin ako.
