NOZE's POV
I grabbed the ice pack after talking to Kuya, and I quickly went to Bada, who's sitting on her bed.
"You don't have to do that," I said as I approached her. She gave me a small smile.
"They deserve it." Simpleng sagot niya tears gather up in my eyes while I look at her bruised lips and swollen hands.
"You didn't have to hurt yourself for me." Naiiyak na sabi ko.
"You're worth the pain, Zaffy." I looked into her eyes, and they were full of warmth. The warmth that I had been longing for a long time, the memories of the past few weeks that we had been hanging out with each other, flashed into my head, making me shed tears and sob slightly.
"Why are you like this? Why are you willing to sacrifice yourself for me? I'm not that worth it."
"You are worth it, Zaffire. Don't belittle yourself. You are worth it, and you mean so much to me that I'm willing to do or face anything just to protect you, so don't you dare say that you're not worth it, Zaff."
I hugged her tightly, wanting to feel her warmth more.
"Don't cry, na, I'm okay, don't worry," I pulled from the hug and carefully held her face while looking straight into her eyes.
