Daniel wiped his nose again when he reached the back stage. 

Buti nalang hindi tumama sa labi ko.  Sure ako doon.  Buti nalang nakatingala ako agad kung hindi.... DJ shuddered at the thought of what might have happened had he reacted slowly.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder.  He noticed the ASAP stage director staring at him worriedly.  “Okay ka lang?  May spiel ka pa with Toni G. Punta ka muna doon.  Pag-usapan natin kung ano ang nangyari pagkatapos.”

“Po?  Anong pag-uusapan natin?”

“Yung nangyari... Malaking issue to. Mukhang bawal ka na bumaba ng stage.” The ASAP director said while scratching his head.

Daniel shook his head. “Wala pong nangyari.  Nakailag po ako.”

“Anong nakailag? Teka.. teka. Basta later na tayo mag-usap tungkol dito.  Spiel mo muna.” The ASAP director said while busily heading over to another direction.

After his spiel with Toni Gonzaga, Toni patted him on the back when they went backstage.  “Okay ka lang, Daniel? Super distracted ka.”

“Ha?.. Okay lang ako.”

“Wala ka ata sa sarili mo.  Piece of advice, avoid going too near the fans next time.”

DJ sighed.  “Okay lang talaga ako... pero tama ka... may point ka.”

Toni G. slightly frowned at him and then she patted him on the back before she left for her dressing room.

While walking towards his dressing room, DJ noticed all the other celebrities and ASAP crew staring at him weirdly.

“Hindi po tumama yon!” He announced to everyone.

Some ASAP dancers laughed.

“Seryoso!  Sa ilong ko lang tumama kasi nakatingala ako agad... Sinipsip niya lang ilong ko.” DJ insisted.

DJ’s stylist shook her head while looking at him.  “Naku, mukhang kailangan mong ulit-ulitin yang explanation na yan.  Kasi iba ang nakikita ng mga tao sa TV.  Mabuti pa lumayo ka muna sa Twitter kung ayaw mong mabad-trip.”

DJ gave her a confused face.  Suddenly, his phone rang.  DJ answered it distractedly without looking at the caller’s name.

“Mwah! Mwah!! Mwah!! Tsup3x!!!” the caller in the other line screamed loudly.

WTF. DJ thought angrily as he glanced at the caller’s name.

“Kats!! Papatayin kita!” he screamed at the phone.

“Masarap ba? Nag-enjoy ka ba?” Katsumi asked laughing out loud.

DJ breathed-in and breathed-out, counting patiently to control his temper.

“Si Kats yan?  Naku, mukhang hindi ka titigilan ng mga yan.” His stylist said while laughing.

“Hindi nakakatawa.” DJ said to his stylist.

“Ooopsss. Sorry, Mr. Pikon.” His stylist said laughing.

DJ dropped Kats call.  The phone rang again.  DJ rolled his eyes before he answered it.

“Ano na naman? Ano bang problema mo?” he asked in irritation.

“You’re so mean, DJ! You dropped my call... you’re so bad... Idol pa naman kita” Kats whined on the other line.

“Alam mo pag-nahanap lang kita, babasagin ko yang bungo mo para hindi ka na tumawag ulit.” DJ said calmly.

“Why are you so brutal, DJ? I just wanted to congratulate you on your first public kiss.” Kats said laughing.
