Prologue -------•

The man, the girl

Seoul, South Korea 3:56 post meridiem (after midday) 

Em's POV

"Yes sir. I promise to protect your daughter." 

I stand at the end of the conference table, as an old man is seated on the opposite side. Folding his palm, worrying at something I didn't care about. I just spilled that promise nonchalantly. 

"Still, I wanted to be honest to you, iho. I really don't like you as well as your world. But then, as I've said a while ago, I have no choice," he said using a worried voice.

'Tsk. We have the same thought. I don't like it at all.'

"For the payment, I will pay you ten million won a month if my daughter will be safe until I am ready to be with her. Araso?"

"Ne... Araso." Walang gana ko'ng tugon. 

"Good. And there are other things... Don't let my daughter get any kind of scratch in any part of her body. Don't let her be alone. Don't let those thugs touch her, even a little bit of her hair. And don't let yourself die, until she's not safe. Do you understand, Mister... Em?" He ordered with an authority that I am not even scared of. 

"Yes, sir." 

"Good. And remember, I still didn't like you so much," turan niya ng may diin. 

"I have no problem with that sir," tugon ko sa kalmadong tono. 

"Very good. Just do your job and after you get rid of those people, it's done. You can go back here in Korea and do whatever you want."

I kept my mouth shut again. The old man stood and faced me with a cross-arm. Meeting my sight. 

"We're done. Just follow what I've said and your job will be finished immediately. And ahm, wait. By the way, do you speak and understand Filipino?"

"Yes, sir." Sinalubong ko ang titig niya. 

"Of course, you should. Okay. You may go now." I bow 90 degrees and walk toward the door. 

"Mister... Em." I faced the old man as he called my name again. I waited after he paused. 

"Huwag mong hahayaang may ma-inlove... 'Ni isa man sa inyong dalawa."

Manila, Philippines 12:50 post meridiem (after midday) 

Earth's POV

"WAAAAAA ULANN! ULAN!" 

Nagmamadali akong tumakbo papasok sa kusina ng Coffee shop. Habang sinisigaw ang pangalan ng maganda kong pinsan. Este palayaw pala. 

Pero ang sumalubong sa akin ay kagaslawan. Hindi ko inaasahang mabunggo sa lalaking may dalang tray na may baso ng ice coffee. Tumilapon ang mga dala niya sa mukha ko. At nagshower ako ng wala sa oras at wala pa sa lugar. 

"Ay anak ng magulang! Woooah!" Natataranta akong lumayo dahil sa malamig na kape. "So-sorry po, sir Gigs!" Natataranta kong paghingi ng pasensya at pagpeace sign. Kapayapaan! 

"Naku, nadumihan ka na, sige sige na magbihis ka na. Kukuha na lang ako ng bago," sabi ni sir Gigs ng may pang-unawa. Sana lahat si sir Gigs. 

Dahil sakto sa pag-alis ni sir sa harap ko ay tumambad ang isang babae sa 'di kalayuan. Isang galit na babae. At hindi siya kagaya ni sir Gigs. Nakatingin siya sa akin ng masama. Napapakamot ako sa pisngi habang lumalapit sa kanya. Nakahalukipkip siya at dahil sa sama ng tingin niya hindi na siya maganda.
