AROUND 4PMLILIA'S POV
4pm at my dorm room. Playing Plants VS. Zombies on my laptop. Then I got a notification that one of my friends is live on instagram.
@finnflop_ is live: bored
Finn's one of my friends back home, and we barely talk on social media. We're closer in real life. And since I missed him so much, I decided to stop the games and join his live.
@slilaiden joined the live. Tap to request.
@slilaiden: hi bading [hi gaywad]
FINN: uy, Lilia. Helloooo!!
@finnflop_ asked you to join his live. Tap to accept.
You accepted @finnflop_'s request.
"GIIRRLL LONG TIME NO TALK!"
FINN: dibaaa? [Riiightt?] I have chika [I have tea]
"Spill." I asked Finn to tell me what was going on with his life. But before he could even start, many people were now watching. They were probably notified that I was on live, too. And my friend noticed that.
FINN: Oh my- girl, I don't think I can say it anymore. There's a lot of people watching the live.
"Sorry?" I apologized to him as a joke.
FINN, sarcastically: I feel pressured to speak english, too
I laughed at the way he said it. He's always been playful and sarcastic. Or in our native term, OA, or overacting / overreacting. "Sorry? Anyway, what're you doing?"
FINN: Oh, it's 4am here, I'm actually at a party right now, but I'm inside one of the rooms
"You aren't drinking with the others? That's not like you." I jokingly asked him. Finn's always been extroverted. He's always the type of guy to be the life of the party. So him hiding is extremely out of character.
FINN, complaining: Beh naman [Girl what]
FINN: Anyway, I just remembered. Yeesha saw a post once from her FYP, and it was you with someone? I wanted to forward it to you, but I got busy until I forgot about it.
FINN, teasingly: You're famous already. Please don't forget about meBy that question, I might have an idea whom's he's talking about. "Was it a blonde girl?"
@hvlwifereal: omg it's haileyyy
@lsuwbbfp: hailey and lilia are going internationalFINN: YESS!! Girl, when Yeesha and I saw that, we were so happy for you because you finally found a girl your type.
When he said that, my eyes widened. Was there a rumor I missed, or are they just assuming? "WHAT?"
@pmbuckets: The rumor reached asia😭
@ccthegoat: hvl and lilia might be dating
|
@hailsvanlith replied to @ccthegoat: i can confirm i was the table on their "date""Girl, did you think I was dating her?"
FINN, raising a brow: You aren't?
Ah, so they were just assuming. But the real question is, why did they just assume? Have I said something in the past that I don't remember? Finnian isn't the type to just assume. "No, why would you even think that?"
