Benj: Welcome to the family? 😁 I guess I should've known since he asked me to look after you at the bar, huh? 😁
Neve: ❓❓❓ Anong bar 'yon?
Benj: When you went to the bar before? And 2 guys joined you?
Neve: 😨 Nando'n ka no'n?
Benj: Oh shit. Was that creepy? I didn't stalk you or anything! I just made sure you'd be safe. Ren asked me to.
Neve: Hindi ko alam 'yan 😮 Talaga bang pinagawa niya 'yon?
Benj: Yeah but he made sure I wouldn't intrude on your privacy too. Are you telling him that I told you? 🫣
Neve: Haha gusto mo ba na sabihin ko?
Benj: Noooo! Don't tell him you know! He'll skin me alive!
Neve: HAHAHA Cute nyo 😊 Sige, 'di ko sasabihin.
Benj: It's gonna be our secret, ayt?
Neve: Oki 😊
Benj: So... The million-dollar question (no pun intended btw). Are you like my secret sister now?
Neve: Bakit naman secret?
Benj: Not a Vallejo, remember?
Neve: 'Di rin naman ako Vallejo 😬
Benj: Not now, you mean.
Neve: Masyado ka naman yatang advanced? 🥲
Benj: On a second thought... You might never be. Maybe he'll just take your name lol Whipped!
Neve: 😅😅😅
Benj: Let us know if you ever need anything, ayt? Me, Ino, and Ice. We got your back. Always.
Neve: 🥺🥺🥺 Nakakakaba naman 'yan? Pero thank you sa warm welcome n'yo sa 'kin since day 1. Thank you din sa pagbabantay sa 'kin do'n sa bar? Kahit 'di ko alam 'yon 😅
Benj: Don't mention it 😄 Families look after each other after all, ayt? 😄
Neve: 🥺🥺🥺 Kayo din. Message n'yo lang ako 'pag may kailangan kayo. 'Di na kayo iba sa 'kin.
