WITH a loud thud, Kenn gathered his things in his bag. Rough as it may seem, but he is so furious that he can't contain it anymore. He swore to punch anyone who would come for him now. Before Austin could even catch up to him, he shuts the locker's door right into the younger's face. He heard him complain but soon, he walked away.

Sighing audibly, he's grateful but when the locker's door swung open, he clenched his knuckles tightly. The intruder will surely taste his wrath. He is ready to strangle whoever it is but is taken aback when he faces their leader as soon as he steps inside so casually.

All his wits gathered up in the middle as the smell of Paul's perfume wafted into the air. Somehow, it soothed him but he hissed. Still scowling, he looked away. He then resumed fixing his things inside his bag, a little bit rougher than necessary.

"Hoy! Nagdadabog ka ba?" Paul started.

With a heavy chest, he faced him once again. "Ba't ka nandito?"

He saw him made a face. "Ikaw nga nandito eh."

He glared at him. "Bumalik ka ro'n sa studio. Doon ka kay Joe! Tutal masyado ka namang nag-enjoy sa kanya. Ako naman, mauna na akong umuwi. Enjoy kayo."

"What? Ano na naman ba'ng problema mo, ha?" asked the leader, leaning against the metal door.

"Seriously? Hindi pa ba malinaw sa'yo ang lahat? Hindi pa ba obvious, Paul? My god! Ang talino sanang tao pero—"

"Gag*! Nandito na naman tayo sa usaping iyan—"

"Huwag mo akong mamura-mura, John Paul! Hindi kita minura." Kenn hisses once again. "Kapag ikaw susunggaban ko, tingnan ko lang kung hanggang saan iyang angas mo!"

Paul blinked confusedly, looking at the younger. After a moment of weighing things, he chucks. He even shakes his head, folding his arms. "Teka nga, nagseselos ka ba?"

Kenn faced him fully, gritting his teeth. "Nice. Took you long enough, Sir."

Taken aback, Paul cleared his throat when the younger didn't even try to deny it. "Oh... I was just kidding when I said that."

"I was just kidding—hindi! Huwag mo akong English-English-in, Pau." The main dancer laughed bitterly.

"Kenneth, look—"

He motioned for him to stop. "Alam mo na ngang may feelings ako sa'yo, tapos enjoy na enjoy ka naman sa company ng iba. Sa mismong harapan ko pa talaga! Nananadya ka ba, ha? Pwes, hindi ka nakakatuwa."

"Uhm... it's normal for you na hindi matuwa because I'm not trying to make you laugh?" Now, Kenn is sure Paul is playing dumb.

"Right. Baka naman trip mo lang akong saktan. Sabihin mo nga nang magkaalaman na tayo rito." Then the main dancer bit his lips.

"What the hell? Pinagbibintangan mo ako? Aba, malay ko ba'ng gagawin niya iyon. We both know naman how preserved he is. I just thought earlier na naglalambing lang siya. Minsanan lang kaya kami magkasundo no'n na walang bangayan."

He looked down. "You're so naïve to not notice everything. Pau, he's trying my patience."

Paul gasped dramatically. "Alam mo ikaw—ewan ko sa'yo. Wala kaming ginagawang masama. Hindi ko alam na iba pala ang meaning no'n sa'yo. Kung ayaw mong maniwala sa akin, eh 'di bahala ka sa buhay mong magselos!"

Paul's voice is a little bit higher for his liking. The leader even stomped his feet childishly, turning his back on him. He stared at him unbelievably.

"Uy... teka! Bakit ka nagagalit? Ako dapat itong galit eh! Ano ba naman iyan! Ako dapat itong sinusuyo, Pau! Bakit parang ikaw pa yata ang may ganang mag-walkout?" exclaimed Kenn.
