Convincing Key
••••
Key's Point of View
•"Key, ayos ka lang ba?" Zin asked.
"Aside from my sadness, nothing more" I answered as i stared at the ceiling.
These past few days they have been convincing me to quit but failed to get a response from me. I am still thinking about it, but i don't think i could do it since i still haven't thought about what should i do if i ever would quit being a vtuber.
"Keyru" Zin said and i looked at him blankly.
"If you're here to convince me too, then leave" I said.
"No Key, i won't even if i will convince you" He responded smiling.
"Give up, you can't make me do it" I replied.
"Keyru" He said and flicked my forehead.
I went back on staring in the ceiling and just ignored him.
I feel like i would lose the purpose of my life if i quit. Its like killing myself too. Vtubing is the reason why i got to the highest point in my life.
"Keyru graduate with me then" Zin said that made me look at him.
"You're saying that because you're already a teacher, while i don't have anything if i quit" I said.
"But Kuya Damian did say that he could give you a manager position though?" He responded.
He did say that but thats boring, a whole day of paper works and shits isn't for me. I want to have fun, chat with my viewers, sing a lots of karaoke, play a lot of games.
"Key, you know that Kuya Damian can just fire you from work you know. Quit now before you get yourself hurt a lot more" He said.
"Don't treaten me, he won't do it. Its against the law to do that without me actually doing anything wrong" I opposed.
Akiro then came to the room looking more tired as ever.
"Key" He said and smiled at me.
I looked at him and smiled.
"If you'll ask me to quit again, i won't" I said as he sat down beside me.
"Thank you for staying with him Zin. No i won't ask you, here's your food" He said and gave me fruits.
I sighed and i began to ate an apple.
"Key"
"Don't ask me i won't"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
"Quit for me then"
"No"
We exchanged words while Zin was just looking at us and he suddenly laughed.
"Key, if you really love Akiro then you should quit for him. Ayaw mo non siya ang tatayong padre de pamilia na mag isa kumakayod para sa mga anak mo" He said.
"Don't try to trick me with your jokes" I said.
"Then if i quit my job as a vtuber and a assistant manager. Would you quit too?" Akiro suddenly asked.
I then suddenly realized his situation.
He can't quit his job. He still has his two brothers. While i don't have anyone.
"Don't..." I said and they looked at me.
"If i quit will you all still play with me?" I asked while my tears started to fall.
"Of course Keyru, did you think that if you quit streaming no one will play with you again? We are still here Key. No one will be leaving you alone" Zin said.
"Even your fans, the truest fans will cherish you even if you're gone" Zin continued.
"So is that setteled now Key?" Akiro said and i shaked my head.
"Give me more time to think" I said and wiped my tears.

Akiro's Point of View
•Two days have passed since Keyru said that he will think about it. He lost his energy to do even do anything, well not that he could do anything because he's still confined but he lost his appetite to eat. He does not even want to open up his phone.
Today he will finally ne dicharged, but he still needs to do frequent check ups which we will do at Izzie's.
"Keyru, ayos ka na ba ala bang sumasakit sayo?" I said when he layed down on our bedroom.
"Wala naman na thank you. Pakikuha nga ako ng tubig salamat" He said and i smiled at him.
I immidietly went to get water and got back to him. I was shocked when i saw him crying. I sat down beside him and started patting his back.
"Is it really my time to quit?" He asked.
"If the world says so then yes. You've been a great vtuber Keyru. You inspired a lot of people, you helped a lot of people. You did great" I said and smiled at him.
He looked at me and hugged me.
"Then i'll quit. For my own safety, nad for all of you" He said.
"Thank you. Then sasabihin ko na kay Damian at Manager-san na mag ququit na tayo ha" I said and he looked at me.
"Pano nga pala si manager? Kung ala na siyang imamanage at wala na rin ako ade mawawalan kayo ng trabaho? Then i won't quit" He asked.
"Nope, we won't lose our job. Some talents are actually gonna be transferred to us and Damian said that you'll be a manager too right?" I said.
"Yeah, i think i'll do that" He said while wiping his tears down.
"Damian actually will debut someone new, you will be the one handling him and the best part is" I said and paused.
"What best part?" He asked.
"The best part is i'll be transferred as well, i'll be your assistant manager when you become one" I said.
"Then, thats the best thing. Thank you, for staying with me. Please do tell them my decision" He said and i smiled at him.
