Shin's POV
I went home straight pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng klase. I'm too excited to see my grandparents. I haven't seen them for a year.
"Lola!" masaya kong sigaw pagpasok ng bahay. Sinalubong agad ako nang yakap ni Lola na nakaupo sa couch. "Lo!" masaya ko ring sigaw kay Lolo at sinalubong din niya ako.
"I missed you so much, Apo!" abot tengang ngiting sabi ni Lola at tinadtad nang halik ang pisngi ko.
"I missed you too, Lola! You became prettier!" sabi ko at hinalikan din si Lola sa pisngi.
"Nang bola pa!" natatawang sabi ni Lola at mahina akong hinampas.
"Didn't you miss me, Apo?" taas kilay na tanong ni Lola.
I laughed and hugged him. "Of course I do! I missed you too, Lo!" I said.
"You're taller than me now," sabi nito at kinumpara pa ang height namin.
"Lo naman. I'm taller than you since I was in 7th grade," natatawa kong sabi.
My Lolo is indeed a tall man but I became taller than him since I was in 7th grade. I'm 6'2 now.
"Andito ka na pala, Shianley." Nababa si Dad sa hagdan at nasa likod naman nito si Kuya na himalang nakangiti ngayon.
"Go change first, Shin. We'll be eating dinner in an hour," nakangiting sabi ni Kuya.
What's happening to him? He's surprisingly in a good mood today. Is it because our grandparents are here? Well, it doesn't actually matter as long as na hindi niya ako pag-initan.
"I'll be in my room, Lola, Lolo. Shower muna."
Pagkatapos ko magpaalam ay agad ako dumaretso sa kwarto at binagsak ang sarili sa higaan.
I'll shower in a couple of minutes.
I opened my messenger app and opened our group chat.
Shin Vaughn: guess what?
Vin Ferrer: what?
Kiro Yokohama: what?
Hide Forbes: what?
Karma Cenizal: watawat 🇵🇭
Van Ferrer: HAHAHAHAHA gago ka @Karma.

Shin Vaughn: my evil brother is surprisingly in a good mood today. he literally smiled at me.
Hide Forbes: oh? congrats! set na nang gala!
Kiro Yokohama: that's great. hindi ka pag-iinitan mamaya sa dinner niyo.
Vin Ferrer: @Shin say hi to your grandparents for me!
Shin Vaughn: yeah, sure!
Van Ferrer: @Shin pasabi kay Lola at Lolo huwag kalimutan chocolates ko.
Karma Cenizal: hoy ako rin! pag ako kinalimutan mo, tatraydurin talaga kita. susumbong ko lahat nang kagaguhan mo kay Kuya Shien.
Nagreact na lang ako ng like sa message ni Karma at Van.
Tumayo na ako sa pagkakahiga at dumaretso sa banyo. Baka tawagin na rin ako for dinner maya-maya.
Saktong pagkatapos ko magbihis ay tinawag na rin ako ni Manang Dina para magdinner.
Bumungad sa akin ang mga nakaupo ng pamilya ko sa harap ng lamesa. Umupo na ako sa tabi ni Kuya dahil doon ako pinaupo! Sa tabi sana ako ni Shion! Hindi na ako makatanggi dahil si Lola na ang nagsabi.
