INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

6:09 a.m.

ANDY
Hmm . . . depends on your performance.

KLEIN
Gano'n? Performance ko?

Klein shifted their position again. Now, he was on top of her, pressing some weight, and she was surprised how he did it so swiftly.

KLEIN
Performance based on saan ba 'yan, attorney?

ANDY
On what you can add up. I have a career. I have stable finances not because of my parents' money but because I worked for it. I took up summer jobs sa firm, sometimes I take care of my mom's garden, may time before I also helped Ate Cheryll sa bakery niya. I was able to save money ever since I was ten. Especially din no'ng nag-intern ako for five years sa firm namin, and given 'yong allowance ko na I got to save. I also have some shares doon sa isang bar.

ANDY
Nainggit kasi ako kay Kenny so I also invested there. That's why even though tutok ako sa review ko for now and I'm not working, I still have the means to earn. Plus, I'm happy with my friends. They could go the extra mile even if I didn't ask them too.

ANDY
There was a time I was really hungry and I couldn't get myself some food kasi time crunched ako sa pinagagawa namin sa work, Kat happened to bring me some food. And she didn't even knew I was busy. She didn't knew I was hungry. She did it just because. Naaalala niya raw kaming friends niya so nagpa-deliver siya ng food for me and Liz.

ANDY
There was also a time I really wanted a limited edition cartoon scarf. But I couldn't get it kasi nanghihinayang ako sa shipping fee. Mas mahal pa kasi 'yong shipping fee compared doon sa scarf.

ANDY
Sinabi ko 'yon kay Liz. When she went sa US, I didn't even tell her I still want it. Pero hinanap niya pa rin 'yong scarf for me because she told me she remembered how badly I wanted it. Until now tinatago ko pa rin sa cabinet ko 'yong scarf para hindi maluma.

ANDY
Si Kenny naman kahit tahimik siya and mukhang masungit, may isang request lang ako sa kanya kahit medyo matrabaho, he does it for me no questions asked.

ANDY
If you asked me three years ago if I wanted a boyfriend, I might say yes immediately. Because somehow, I was curious and marami talaga akong lambing na gustong i-share. But right now, I don't really see why it's necessary for me when I'm fulfilled.

ANDY
That's why I'm asking you what can you do for me that the people around me can't?

ANDY
If you tell me it's physical, I can just easily hug anyone. If it's carnal, there's nothing I can't achieve by myself. Given na ang daming resources online, I can just purchase something to aid me. If you tell me it's love, I can feel it naman through my friends and my family. And it's not lacking. So what can you add up?

ANDY
If you're going to call me easy because I hug you and I let you kiss me, I can also easily kick you out right now and pretend you never existed. Just like how I momentarily get attached to some clients kapag nakiki-empathize na ako sa kanila, I can also easily detach.

ANDY
Kaya if there's anything else I need na hindi ko alam, can you tell me what it is?
