A lingering sense of unease fills the air. Was it a misdialed number or a deadly call? As the details of the situation emerge, it becomes chillingly a...

"Eunsun," tawag sa akin ni Ate Rej. Kaswal lang ang paraan ng paglingon ko sa aking manager.
Papalabas na kami ngayon ng LC Bar. Pasado 2:40 a.m na at mga lasing na rin ang mga kasamahan namin. Kanya-kanya na nga ring paraan para makauwi ng walang bangas.
Si Direct. JZ ay hindi na rin namin nakausap pa ng matino dahil may tama na rin ng alak sa sistema. Nauna ring umuwi dahil maaga pa raw ang appointment.
"Sigurado ka bang kaya mo pang magmaneho? Pwede kitang ihatid sa condo mo, iwan mo na lang muna rito ang sasakyan mo. Mahigpit ang seguridad ng LC parking lot kaya safe naman ang mga sasakyan dito."
"I assure you, Ate Rej, I'm perfectly fine," I reassure her, maintaining a calm tone. "I've only had a few drinks, nothing excessive. I'm still capable of driving, so please don't worry."
Just as I finish speaking, Deimos interjects, offering, "I'll be the one to take her home." His interruption prompts me to force a smile across my face, concealing my true emotions.
Quickly defending Deimos, I interrupt, "Deimos is just joking..."
Retorting with a firm tone, he says, "I am not."
As time passes, my smile gradually fades, and an intense feeling of frustration builds within me. In my mind, I silently curse this man for his thoughtless behavior.
Oh, if only I could deliver a lightning-fast kick right to his backside, jolting him out of his clueless bubble and finally enlightening him about the weightiness of this situation.
"Oh," tanging nasambit ni Ate Rej. Mukhang hindi rin nito inaasahan na mangangahas si Deimos na ihatid ako.
I mean, both of us possess a magnetic pull on the public eye. Him, a renowned author, and me, an action star. Should news spread that he's accompanying me for a ride after our party, the online realm will unquestionably erupt with fervent discussions revolving around our names and faces. We will inevitably reclaim the center stage once more, basking in the blinding spotlight of attention.
If there's anyone who harbors sensitivity towards my dating status, it is Ate Rej. Serving as my manager, she experiences escalating levels of anxiety whenever I find myself entangled in any form of scandal. Hence, my fervent hope rests upon her firm refusal to grant Deimos the privilege of escorting me.
Sana hindi siya pumayag, please...
"Talaga? Mas mapapanatag ang aking kalooban kung ihahatid mo nga si Eunsun sa condo niya," saad naman ng sulsol kong manager.
Eh kung sambunutan din kaya kita 'no? Isa ka pa eh!
Every ounce of hope I had to break free from Deimos' grasp is slipping away. The closer I am to him, the more my longing intensifies, urging me to step beyond the boundaries and unveil his hidden truth, regardless of the moral implications.
