(CURRENTLY ON ENGLISH DAHIL SA PARTY)

In a moment, we heard footsteps close to the door which made Diego wonder where it was coming from.

While I was still gazing in nowhere, I turned my gaze that turned into a puzzled look to Diego who was frozen with a slight jaw drop on his face. It made me wonder who it was. But then my eyes widened to whom I just saw.

"K-KATH...RYN..." I then felt a heavy hand in my shoulder. I knew whose hand it was but, Diego's eyes seemed to be serious and whispered something on me until he left. When he completely got out of the area I started to talk which seemed to uncomfortable to her and to myself as well.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be with Enrique?" I said with a fake smile on me.

"I wanted to be alone and feel the breeze here but since you're here, I shouldn't bother you."

I leaned on the bars again and stared at the stars, "No, it's fine. You do not trouble me."

She stepped closer to me until she's on the position I'm in.

"You know, ever since you left me..."

"Diego!"

"Shh! What are you doing here, Enrique?"

"I'm looking for Kath Kath. Did you see her?"

Instead of hearing Kanda's response, he traced the way where he was looking at. He looked at the space between the wall and the door and looked beyond it. He saw Kathryn with DJ alone.

"...ever since you broke up with me..."

Hearing those words caused Enrique"s eyes to widen.

"Broke...up?"

"Kathryn's previous boyfriend is..."

Enrique gulped.

"...DJ."

"W-What?"

"Kathryn once loved DJ."

"No way." He stared at the space again.

"I always wonder to myself. What did I do to lose you? Are you not fated to be with me? If I bowed down to you and tell you to come back to me, will you go back? These kind of questions always appear in my mind." I faltered and looked at the tower clock close to the area.

". . ."

"Even so, I never found the courage to ask them to you. But now you're here, maybe this is the right time to ask you."

I turned my gaze at her.

'I would accept anything you would say. . .'

"Do you..."

'Even though you betrayed me at the past.'

"...still love me?"

'I loved you.'

"I..."

"No!" Enrique yelled.

"Nn?"

"Wha?"

"That idiot!" Diego quickly stood out of his place and ran.

"She doesn't...not anymore." He continued as he brought Kathryn into his arms.

". . ." Kathryn got scared with Enrique's glare at her.

"Y-yes, I still do." She continued, and Enrique tightened his hold on Kathryn. She couldn't lie, she didn't even know why.

I grinned at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to take her away from you."

I smiled again and went to the corner with no wall or bars in the way, "Now that its already too late." I whispered, and it seems like everyone was confused.

"Too..."

"Late?" Diego added and looked at his wristwatch and narrowed his eyes. 'DJ, are you planning to...?'

"I'm happy to hear that from you, Kath." I smiled at her, but then...

I started to cough very hard, and breathing heavily. They ran over me.

"Oi!"

"DJ!"

"PoT-DJ!"

I continued to cough until I succeeded to stop it but blood covered my hands, also in the side of my lips with is currently flowing through my chin.

"Blood!"

"Enrique, call an ambulance!" Kathryn cried.

"No!" I complained.

"It's okay, I'm fine. You two can go home now, the party is coming to its end."

"Then, we will be going."

"Enrique..." I called.

"What?"

"...Take care of Kathryn."

"You can count on me."

"Great."

As they turned their back, I looked into nowhere and jumped off the rooftop.

Diego was shocked and so as Kathryn and Enrique.

As I fell, I saw a beaming light before my eyes.

"M-Mother...."

"Come, Daniel."

I saw him stretch his hand and I reached for it.

"Let's go now, Daniel."

"Yes."

'I love you, Kathryn.'

"DJ!"

"Daniel!"

"DJ!!!!" kath called with all her might

Too late he was dead...
