As the days turned into weeks, Love and Milk’s relationship continued to grow stronger. They enjoyed the small moments—quiet walks, shared lunches, and late-night conversations. Their bond seemed unbreakable, and their friends remained their biggest supporters. However, life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges, and a plot twist was about to unfold that neither Love nor Milk could have anticipated.

It was a crisp autumn afternoon when the school announced a big surprise: an upcoming talent show with a grand prize of a scholarship. The news spread like wildfire, and the entire school buzzed with excitement. View, ever the enthusiastic planner, immediately rallied the group.

“We should all participate! It’ll be so much fun, and who knows? Maybe one of us will win!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Prim and Tu were instantly on board, discussing potential volleyball-themed performances. June and View decided to collaborate on a photography exhibit that would be displayed during the event. Love and Milk, however, were unsure.

“I’m not sure what I could do,” Love admitted, feeling a bit anxious. “I’ve never really performed in front of a crowd.”

Milk nodded in agreement. “Same here. But it could be a great opportunity. Maybe we could do something together?”

They mulled over various ideas, eventually settling on a duet. They would perform a song that held special meaning for them, symbolizing their journey and the bond they shared. They spent the next few weeks practicing diligently, their evenings filled with music and laughter.

The night of the talent show arrived, and the school auditorium was packed with students, teachers, and parents. The atmosphere was electric, with performers nervously preparing backstage and the audience eagerly awaiting the show.

Prim and Tu’s volleyball-themed dance routine was a hit, drawing cheers and applause. View and June’s photography exhibit received rave reviews, their creative collaboration beautifully showcased. Finally, it was time for Love and Milk’s performance. They took the stage, hands clasped tightly, their hearts pounding.

As they began to sing, their voices melded together perfectly. The audience was captivated by the emotion and sincerity in their performance. Love and Milk could feel the connection between them, the song a testament to their enduring bond. When they finished, the auditorium erupted in applause.

Backstage, their friends enveloped them in hugs, showering them with praise. “You two were amazing!” View exclaimed, tears of joy in her eyes. “I’m so proud of you both.”

The talent show ended, and as everyone filed out of the auditorium, a sense of accomplishment filled the air. Love and Milk walked home together, their spirits high. They felt closer than ever, their shared experience strengthening their bond.

However, the plot twist began to unfold the following day. Love received an unexpected message from an unknown number. The message read, “Meet me at the park after school. I have something important to tell you.”

Love’s curiosity was piqued, but she felt a twinge of apprehension. She showed the message to Milk, who looked equally puzzled. “Do you think it’s a prank?” Milk asked, concern in her voice.

“I don’t know,” Love replied. “But I think I should go. Maybe it’s something important.”

After school, Love made her way to the park, her heart racing with anticipation. She scanned the area, looking for anyone who might be waiting for her. Finally, she spotted a figure sitting on a bench, their back to her. As she approached, the person turned around, revealing a familiar face—Ciize, Milk’s old friend.
