Mixed Signals (MikhaLoi)

Set up

Mikha's POV:

I left the room immediately. I don't fucking know why I did that. What's wrong with me?

"What the fuck is wrong with me?" I mumbled sadly.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!

"Fuck yourself, Mikha. You're hurting yourself. You're so fucking stupid." I said once again.

FLASHBACKS:

"Mikhs ang sakit sakit na." Maloi burst out crying in front of me.

"Shh.. let's go grab some Ice cream?" I told her.

Maloi's been hiding her feelings for Jho for a long time until now. Yes, she likes Jhoanna.. Although Jhoanna likes Colet. I know right?

Am I that important whenever she's not around, Loi?

I told the girls that me and Maloi are going somewhere. Now, we're here at the park. We sat down as we enjoy our Ice cream.

"4 years ko na siyang gusto, nalulungkot ako Mikhs." She suddenly said.

5 years na kitang gusto, masaya pa rin naman ako.

"You know, instead of thinking about her that eagers the pain you've been feeling.. why don't you enjoy that Ice cream for me?" I said.

"Pangit ba ako? Kapalit-palit ba ako? THEN WHY?!" She never really ran out of energy even though she's sad or she's going through something. I sigh.

"OA ka, hindi ka nga niya gusto." Sabat ko.

"Ay." She said shortly.

We went home in the condominium where we've been staying. I'm used to her, this happens most of the time. Ang selfish ko na ba masyado if I only want her for myself?

"Gala bukas!! Cafe lang." Stacey said.

"I'm in." Gwen answered as well as the others, but except for Jhoanna.

"Pass, I'm sick." Jho said.

"My baby is sick???" Maloi yapped.

Sinadya niya ba talaga yun or should I just normalize that since she's flirtatious to everyone?

"Yes po ate Maloi, may lagnat akooo." Jho answered with a pout on her face.

Stacey suddenly went closer to Maloi and whispered something. I can totally hear their conversation since I'm just behind them.

"Kahit ako iiyak kung friends lang eh." Stacey teased.

"Dedma sa bashers" Maloi said as she rolled her eyes on Stacey.

END OF FLASHBACKS:

Jhoanna's POV:

Man I don't know what's happening on my life lately. I like Colet for years, Colet likes ate Maloi for years too, while ate Maloi and Mikha likes each other? I don't know.. but their actions towards to each other are different from us. Surprisingly, ate Aiah likes Mikha.

"Wow.." I mumbled as I realized everything once again.

"Jhooooo should I tell them that I like Mikha? I couldn't hide my feelings anymore." Ate Aiah said.

"Ate Aiah, you're serious? Mikha and ate Maloi likes each other right?" Sabat ko.

"What? They don't like each other, Jho. Maloi opened up to me and she told me everything. That we should just normalize their actions towards to each other. They don't have a thing, nor they are not in a low key or secret relationship." Ate Aiah said.

Well she has a point. Si Mikha and ate Maloi ang unang nagkakilala before us during trainings. They were friends for a year? And I'm sure may nabuo na silang closure sa isang taon na iyon.

"Try to open up your feelings to ate Maloi, ate Aiah." I said as she nods.

Maloi's POV:

I was scrolling through social medias as I heard someone knocked on the door.. and it's ate Aiah.

"Ate Aiah!" I greeted her.

"Helloo!" Ate Aiah said as she gave me a small chuckle.

"You need something?" I asked her.

"Nope. I.. just wanna chitchat with you." She told me and smiled.

"Hmm about what?" I asked her once again.

"About Mikha.. I've been thinking of telling y'all this, honestly. I like Mikha, Maloi.." Ate Aiah said.

Wala akong ibang naramdaman kundi pagka-gulat.

"A-ate Aiah totoo ba?" I asked her.

"OMG BET MO SI MIKHS??? SHOULD I SET YOU UP WITH HER OR SHOULD I TELL HER THIS OR-" I was cut off by her.

"Uhmm hehe can.. you? Well since you two known each other for years and you know.. I'm sure kayo ang pinaka-close sa isa't isa except for the other girls." Sabat niya.

"YES YES ATE AIAH!" I immediately answered her.

Hours have passed since me and ate Aiah talked about her feelings for Mikha. I'm currently studying right now for our upcoming test. And yep, we're all students and an idol at the same time. We usually make time for our studies since gusto naming makapagtapos kahit na ganito ang image namin.

While I review our PPT'S, I heard a knock from the door. It was Mikha.

"Hello, can I stay here? Bored ako." She told me.

"I'm studying ehh, wag ka makulit ha? Pa-hunting talaga kita." I answered her.

Mikha's POV:

I'm playing on my phone. Me and Maloi have been silent for minutes now since she's studying, while I'm here hanging. Not until I noticed that she stopped from doing her thing and dazed for seconds.

"HOY OMG I-SET UP KITA KAY ATE AIAH!" She suddenly said excitedly as she stood up and went closer to me.

What does she mean with "set up"? Like a date or something like that? Gosh no. Why don't she set up herself to me instead?

"Ate Aiah? Set up? To me? Ate Aiah likes me? No." Sambit ko sakaniya.

"Ang arte mo. Ang ganda ganda kaya ni ate Aiah! Ikaw conyo, siya conyo, bagay kayo!" She yapped.

"I can tell that she's pretty and all. Ayaw ko pa rin." I said shortly.

"Come on Mikhs, it would be so amazing if you would date someone like ate Aiah! Walang thrill sa buhay natin, minsan lang 'to oh?" She convinced me.

"Fine." I answered.

"Yey! Ate Aiah told me na sa Saturday ang schedule ng date niyo. Mark your calendar ha?" She looks pretty excited which made me smile as well, she's so gorgeous.. and those smile. Her excitement flattered me, I can't stop myself from smiling.

"Wala pa nga, abot ears na 'yang ngiti mo!" She said.

Girl what do you mean? I was not smiling because of the set up. You were the reason behind this smile, Maloi.
