Sometimes kahit gaano kabigat yung dinadala mo, it can be taken away especially by the person you love.

Baekhyun Zico Byun is known as one of the most remarkable painter that has sold countless of obras. Kilala siya sa kaniyang unique way of art style. Painting has always been his escape from his reality. Paborito niya itong gawin sa isang specific na part sa house niya na tanaw ang mga bundok sa malayo. It's somewhat like a glass balcony. An inspiring view for someone who needs inspiration.

It's not a lie in the public's eye ang mga narating niya. Sometimes, his achievements was televised and gave inspiration to aspiring painters. Hindi 'rin naitago ang kaniyang personal life sa public's eye. Hayag 'din at kilala ang karelasyon niyang si Chanyeol Kraeven Park.

Their relationship was ideal. They look out for each other, they're each other's rock and compass. Despite Kraeven in his acting career, hindi niya pinaparamdam na kulang ang oras niya para kay Zico, which Zico appreciates very much, so he pays him the same. Witness ang mga kaibigan nila sa pagmamahalan ng dalawa.

But relationships cannot be as perfect as them. There's no such thing as a perfect relationship. Either way, there's always a down fall. There has always been a down fall.

There was one time na ginulat si Zico ng malalaki at mai-itim na pasa sa katawan at braso niya right after a shower. He has not been feeling well since he woke up that morning, naisip niyang a warm bath could soothe what he's feeling. Pero hindi niya inakala ang makikita niya sa katawan niya through the mirror.

Running his fingers through the, nang patuloy niya itong pagmasdan. The symptoms he felt for the last few days, hindi niya inalintana 'yon. Thinking that it was just not his day kaya he doesn't feel good.

He wore matching sweatpants and shirt nalang to at least cover the bruise-like thing all over his arms and body. Also turning up the AC to justify why he's wearing sweatshirts.

"Lovey, are you there?" Nagulat siya sa boses ng kaniyang kasintahan, katulad ng pagkagulat nito kung bakit sobrang lamig sa loob ng bahay umagang-umaga.

Bukod kay Dae na kaibigan niya, si Kraeven ay isa 'rin sa mga may duplicate ng susi sa bahay ni Zico. Kapatid nalang ang mayroon siya, nasa ibang bansa pa. He hasn't heard from her ever since. Basically, kinalimutan na siya.

Nagtaka na si Kraeven nang hindi sumagot si Zico. "Lovey?" Pagsilip niya sa kusina kung saan dinatnan niya si Zico na umiinom ng bottled water. "Hey you~ I was calling, hindi ka sumasagot" Malambing na sabi nito habang marahan na niyayakap ang kasintahan mula sa likod.

"Hmm, I was in the shower." Marahan ngunit matamlay na sagot nito.

Tumango si Kraeven at hinain ang dala niyang pagkain. Though he's bothered, pinili ni Zico na i-alis muna sa isipan ang bumabagabag sa kaniya at mag focus muna sa kung anong meron ngayon.

Nakasanayan na ni Kraeven na dalhan ng pagkain si Zico halos araw-araw. Along with it ay ang strawberry cheesecake na paborito nito. Nalaman niya na Zico was obsessed with strawberry cheesecake that one time na kumain sila sa soft opening ng café ng isa sa mga kaibigan ni Kraeven. Mag mula noon, lagi niya na itong dinadaanan para lang sa slice ng cheesecake.

Every time they discover something new about each other, they would make a mental note at tatandaan 'yon, even the littlest things. The littlest things can mean a lot most of the time. It warms the heart when your partner remembers even the tiniest thing about you.
