Your POV

I said that I'll deal with Dan but I honestly don't know where to start. That stupid son of a bitch, I should've just castrated him when I found out that he cheated on me.

"Luz-san, are you alright?" Koko asked.

Oops, napatulala nanaman ako.

[T: Oops, I'm spacing off again.]

"Yeah, I'm alright." I reassured with a smile.

He was here to teach me again today and it's just been three days but I feel like I learned a lot.

"By the way, where's Manjiro? He didn't come home yesterday so I'm worried." I said.

"Please don't worry, he's just at the office for some paperwork" He said.

"I see, I just hope that he would at least rest even for a moment. I can't have him rely on sleeping pills forever, it will affect his health even more." I said with a worried sigh.

Maybe it was just after a few days that I asked him to marry me when I was cleaning, I found a lot of sleeping pills in a cabinet. We had a long talk and I told him to reduce his usage.

That's why I let him cling all he wants as long as he can fall asleep. I also noticed that he has many nightmares.

I was so bad that when I just went to get water at midnight, he thought that I left him secretly. You know that feeling when you feel like you can run but you can't hide? He was looking at me as if he was telling me that.

Wala namang tide pero nagulat ako dun kasi madilim at muntik ko pa batuhin ng baso.

[T: There's no tide here but I was surprised because it was dark and I almost threw a glass on him.]
[Tide- the fabric detergent]

"You look like you need some sleep too, Koko. You should take care of yourself too, even if work is so hectic, a well-rested worker is an efficient worker." I said.

"Luz-san, you're really kind and I thank you for showing concern but if you are this kind to everyone then the boss might get jealous." He said.

"We'll he already did get jealous of you when we first met but it turned out fine. Besides, it's just me being a nurse showing concern to a patient, that's all." I said with a chuckle but he stiffened and looks like his soul almost left his body.

"Koko?"

"A-are you sure that it's really okay?" He asked as he sweatdropped.

"Of course it's fine. He was just being a baby, it was kind of cute you know." I said.

"C-cute?"

"Yeah! Don't worry, I already told him not to get jealous of you. He was the one who introduced me to you and you're his employee so it just works. But it was kind of upsetting that he thinks that I'd like anyone else besides him after I kept our promise since we were kids." I blurted out and crossed my arms.

"I-I see..." He said with a relieved but awkward sigh.

"Of course, I had some past relationships but it was a mistake. I mean, I'm still surprised that he remembers me after many years. It was a silly promise I made but I don't regret it. I was also ready to accept and leave if he already found someone but when I saw him he was alone." I said with a sad smile.

"We are the ones that are actually surprised. For the time we worked for him, we thought that he had no interest in any women. He won't even at least spare a glance, let alone talk to one." He said.

Wag mong sabihin na medyo bakla siya. Baka napilitan lang siya sakin kasi wala lang siyang choice. Hindi, hindi, kailangan natin munang i-confirm.

[T: Don't say he's a little gay. Maybe he was just forced on me because he just had no choice. No, no, we need to confirm first.]
