Summary: Some things came unplanned and even if you already had planned it ahead, some things didn't come out like what you wanted in the first place.

Notes: Try to listen to Little Things by One Direction while reading. The song is cute and so fluffy. (Perfect – One Direction, is also included in the playlist).

After a successful nationwide tour, Paulo and his groupmates go home to their respective families to cope up with the lost times. Josh is having a wondrous time with his sister and Mom, Ken goes back to Zamboanga to spend his time for his Mapa and relatives for about three days, Justin as usual is having the time of his life in Malabon around the people he love—people and cat to be exact.

Whereas Stell is in Las Piñas while keeping up with his loved ones too. Pablo on the other hand is in his family and they're planning on spending their family day on a certain resort that his younger brother recommended. They're all busy packing up for a two-day trip.

He fished his phone from his pocket and typed something. "Salamat daw sa carrot cake na ginawa mo. Nilantakan ng buong family. 'Di man lang ako binigyan ng time na i-savor ang sarap haha! Pero masarap talaga siya." He then send it to Stell.

"Kuya Pau, can we bring the guitar?" His younger sister Denise peeked in his door, smiling toothily.

"Okay lang. Hindi naman masyadong marami ang dadalhing gamit. Go ahead," he said before nodding his head.

"Yey! Thank you." Denise happily chirped and walks away.

He just chuckled while shaking his head when his phone dings. He smiled when Stell's name popped up. "Good morning din sa'yo, Paupau. Welcome. Muah!"

He pouted. "Good morning. Nakalimutan ko lang i-type ang greetings uy."

"HAHAHAHAHA sanay na ako, hmp!" He chuckles while reading Stell's message.

"Tatampo ka na niyan? Sorry na nga. Ano gusto mong peace offering?"

His phone dings. "Wala."

He pouted as he sat on the edge of the bed. "Singsing na may diamond nalang kaya? Would you mind?"

"HOY, JOHN PAULO!" He almost heard Stell's loud mouth in his head.

"Bati na tayo, Teytey. Cute-cute mo. Muah-muah!" It's a voice message and it's unusual for him to baby talk but with Stell, he'd do everything for him.

He smiled toothily when Stell called. He wasted no time to accept the call. "Hi."

"Hi, Pau. Tumawag lang kasi na-miss ko boses mo," Stell said in his hoarse voice.

"Kagigising mo lang ano?" Pablo asked while he throw his back on his bed.

"Yup pero mas nauna akong magising kaysa sa tunog ng alarm ko. Nakaka-proud hindi ba?" Stell once again said childishly.

Pablo absentmindedly nods and smiled. "Yes. Nakaka-proud ka nga. Minsan nga kapag magkasama tayo, I still couldn't believe na totoo ka eh."

"Huy, iba ang usapan natin. Ayan ka na naman eh." Stell grumbles on the other line. "Lagi ka nalang ganyan. Ang random mo masyado."

Pablo then laughs. "Iba pala? Akala ko kasi ikaw ang usapan eh since it's always you—ikaw nalang lagi tumatakbo sa isip ko. Pahinga ka rin, Vester."

"Pablo, nakakainis ka na. Umagang-umaga talaga?" He growls. "Don't make me miss you, please?"
