~Tessa's POV

I couldn't sleep last night. I just couldn't. Wala pa rin akong tigil sa kaka-iyak. My parents and kept asking me what was wrong... but, no, I just can't tell them.

Pero sooner or later, malalaman at malalaman rin naman nila.

It was already 3 in the afternoon. Hindi pa ako lumalabas ng kwarto ko kagabi pa. Hindi na rin ako nag dinner kagabi at hindi pa rin ako nagbre-breakfast.

Can you blame me? I just wanted to die. Right now.

"Tessa, darling, could you go down here for a while? Meron naghahanap sayo." sigaw ni Mama saakin. Naghahanap saakin? Please, let it not be them.

Dahan dahan akong bumaba... and guess what? It was them. It was SHINEE. Aakyat na sana agad ako pero nakita ako ni mama...

"Tessa, hindi mo man lang ba sila kakausapin?" 

"I don't know them." sagot ko.

"Tessa! Don't be like that!" sigaw saakin ni grandma. I sighed. I guess I've got no other choice. Bumaba na nga ako.

"Pwedeng iwanan niyo muna kami?" tanong ko sa mama ko at tumango naman siya. Umalis na nga si mama at grandma. 

Umupo ako sa couch namin. "So, what are you doing here?"

"We're here because we both need to pretend as lovers." sagot ni Taemin saakin. I looked at him and saw.... nothing. Just plain Taemin. 

Huminga ako ng lalim bago sumagot. "I won't do it."

Napatingin silang lahat saakin. "Excuse me?" sabi ni Taemin. Huminga ulit ako. "I said, I won't do it." sagot ko naman.

"And why not?!" sigaw ni Taemin. Tumingin ako ng masama sakanya. "First of all, you can't shout at me. Second, you have to accept and at the same time, respect my decision." 

"Anong gagawin mo sa scandal? Ganun-ganun nalang yun? Papabayaan nalang? Hindi naman ganun kadali yun eh. Buti sana kung mawawala agad yun, hindi ka na sana namin inaabala dito. Pero hindi eh." sabi ni Taemin saakin.

"Paano ako? Magpapanggap nalang as girlfriend mo? Ganun nalang din ba yun?" sumbat ko sakanya. Natahimik siya.

Tumayo si Jonghyun at lumapit saakin. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng lumuhod siya sa harap ko. Pati sila Taemin, Onew at Key ay nanlaki rin ang mga mata.

"Please, just for even a while. Pretend as Taemin's lover. Please."

Napatayo ako. "Please stand up... you don't have to do this. Walang magbabago sa desisyon ko kahit lumuhod man kayo... I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is."

"Do it for us, please. And for our fans."

I shook my head. "I can't. I won't and I will never. Sobra sobra na yung natanggap ko galing sa mga fans niyo. Even my friends, who were a fan of yours hated me. Tinalikuran nila ako. I just can't. I'm sorry." without noticing it, I was already crying.

Bigla akong may nakita na panyo sa harap ko. I looked who was holding it, it was Key. "Here." sabi niya saakin, dahan dahan ko naman na kinuha yung panyo niya.

"Kung ayaw niya, that's fine. Sinasayang lang natin yung oras natin." sabi ni Taemin at tuluyan na ngang umalis. Sumunod naman si Jonghyun at Onew.

"Our fans are nice, and Taemin is too. You just have to give them a chance." nakangiting sabi saakin ni Key at umalis na nga rin.

Bigla naman na sumulpot si Mama. Napayakap siya agad saakin ng nakita niya na umiiyaka ko. "Baby... why are you crying? It's okay, nandito lang si Mama..."
