Kinahapunan si Jhoanna at Y/N nakaupo sa gilid ng kalsada kung saan maraming naglalako ng street food.
“Y/N, may ipapakita ako sayo,” said Jhoanna excitedly.
“What’s that?” Y/N asked, curiosity in her eyes.
Jhoanna pulled out a balut from her bag with a mischievous grin.
“It’s balut!” Jhoanna said. “Huwag kang mag-alala, masarap to promise.”
Y/N took the balut with a smile. “Sige, let’s give it a try!”
"HUH LEGIT KA? Akala ko ba ayaw mo ng balut."
"Jho okay lang, masarap naman yung yellow. Gusto mo sayo nalang yung chick?" Y/N said and smiles teasingly
"YUCK HOY WAG NALANG!" Jhoanna bickers, sabay hampas kay Y/N
As they ate the balut, they laughed at Jhoanna’s playful critiques and Y/N’s brave reactions.

A week later, Jhoanna and Y/N found themselves at a tricycle waiting shed.
“Alam mo, Y/N, Dapat may matry ka na something traditional,” Jhoanna said with a twinkle in her eye.
“What’s that?” Y/N asked, amused.
“Sumakay tayo ng tricycle!” Jhoanna said as she paid the fare.
They rode the tricycle together, enjoying the bumpy ride and laughing.
"Jho, naiintindihan mo sinasabi ni kuya?" Tanong ni Y/N habang hinahawakan ang buhok dahil sa hangin
"Oo lang dapat isagot mo dyan."

The following week, they went to a place offering jet ski rides.
“Are you excited?” Jhoanna asked as they put on their life jackets.
“Yes, but also a bit nervous,” Y/N admitted. “Paano mo alam na magugustuhan ko t
'to?”
“Hindi ko alam, pero naisip ko na ang angas tingan if I'll see you learn how to jet ski,” Jhoanna said with a smile.
As they zoomed across the water, they reveled in the thrill and joy of the experience.
"Jho, bakit ka gumegewang?" natatawang sabi ni Y/N
"HINDI KO ALAM, KUYA TULONG!!" naiiyak at pasigaw na sabi ni Jhoanna

On a warm night, Jhoanna and Y/N had a sleepover at Jhoanna’s house. They watched movies, played board games, and chatted until the early hours.
“You know, this is really fun,” Y/N said, snuggling into the pillows.
“It really is, Y/N,” Jhoanna agreed. “Sana marami pa tayong bonding moment na ganito.”

One afternoon, while strolling through the park, Jhoanna took out a small notebook from her bag.
“May gusto akong ipakita sayo,” Jhoanna said, opening the notebook. “This is my bucket list. I haven’t checked everything off yet, pero gusto ko na makita mo.”
Y/N read through the list, impressed. “Ang dami mo pang hindi nagagaw.”
“Pero,” Jhoanna said, her voice growing serious, “there’s one last thing I need to tell you. It’s the last item on my list.”
Y/N looked at her, worried. “Ano yun?”
“I need to tell you that I’m sick. The doctors said there’s nothing more they can do,” Jhoanna admitted, her voice trembling.
“Hindi ko alam,” Y/N said, tears forming in her eyes. “Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin nang mas maaga?”
“Gusto ko nalang lubusin yung last and best part ng buhay ko with you and to be honest about who I am,” Jhoanna said. “Gusto kong malaman mo kung sino ako.”
Y/N hugged Jhoanna tightly. “We’ll face this together. You don’t have to worry.”
