7:59 PM

Aedrian:
You good?

Dustin:
Yes, Kapitan.
Why?

Aedrian:
When you got here, you seemed… gloomy.
You even just said hi to Aeri and gave her a weak smile.

Dustin:
Paano muna iyong weak smile? 😃

Aedrian:
D.

Dustin:
Nothing. I'm fine.
I just have too many expectations and nagiging assuming na rin ako so the disappointment was real.

Aedrian:
Is that about Ae?
What happened?

Dustin:
Kapitan. 🥲
Wala. Kasi naman I thought she'll react with Gail and the ship ship na nangyayari but she seems unbothered. Baka nga assuming lang ako hahaha

Aedrian:
Assuming na she likes you? lol
Come on, DD. It's not like the girl will tell you 'cause what are you two? Manager and player. And friends, I guess.

Dustin:
Tama nga naman.

Aedrian:
Then why not confess?
It might help.
Everyone already notices you and Ae being too close and sweet. I'm not sure, okay? I'm not giving you hope, but I feel like you have a chance with her.
We all know you like the girl, D.

Dustin:
I won't deny that I like her.
The first time, I was already attracted to her because she's pretty. But knowing her made it more easier for me to like all of her. It's not helping pa na manager natin siya kaya araw-araw kong nakikita at nakakasama. I want to be sure that this is more than just an attraction. She deserves it. I need more time. But I like her real bad.

Aedrian:
You know what?
Go and move. You're delaying not slowing, DD. You guys have known each other for a year already. Make up your mind or you might lose your chance. Or you might hurt her unintentionally if she also feels the same way. You two are not kids anymore.

Dustin:
Thanks, Kapitan!
I'll focus on the game for now.
After the season. Let's win this, please.

Aedrian:
We will reclaim our crown, DD.
