Santi:

Pardon?

Nicolas:

Oh my goodness, Saint Rodriguez!!

Finallyy, ginalaw mo na yung glass

You have a lot of explaining to do so you better start now or else  >___<

Santi:

I am so confused right now.

But first, sino yung Crystal?

Nicolas:

pretending to be clueless pa ha, it won't work on me, Santi!

do not mess with the future CEO of Dispatch Korea

i have receipts so you can lie all you want but i already know the truth

dapat magtatampo pa nga ako since im your bff and this is your first ever love life improvement and you chose to inform the world before letting me know first?!

all those years of friendship and for what?

but mas nanaig yung inner marites ko so please spill the tea na so i can forgive you hehehe

Santi:

Naguguluhan ako. Sorry pero hindi talaga kita maintindihan, Cola.

Nicolas:

okayyy, we'll take it slow then

so you were at The Honoré Restaurant kanina?

Santi:

Yes. 

Nicolas:

Crystal is there too

Santi:

Who is this girl again?

Nicolas:

maang-maangan pa more, Santino

the girl who won your magic banana during that wedding you attended

Santi:

You're calling me Santino.

Galit ka. 

But yes. I finally recalled her properly. 

Nandon siya. Kaya?

Nicolas:

you're really testing my patience aaa

stop beating around the bushh and just admit it already for god's sake huhu

parang awa mo na Santinooo

Santi:

Aminin na?

Nicolas:

that you are DATING?

Santi:

What? Come again?

Nicolas:

ubos na pasensya ko sa yo

talk to you later after i cool down

say thanks to Hamish for the blueberry cheesecake he baked that would really calm my nerves 

Santi:

Have you been eating sweets nonstop today, Cola?

I strongly believe that you are in a sugar rush judging on how you are reacting.

It's your comfort food. At napaparami ka kapag stressed. 

I don't know the reason for it.

Or ako ba?

Santi:

Your chats are overwhelming but after finally dissecting them, I confirmed that I am really the reason.

Sorry. But let me explain my side. 

First of all, Crystal and I are not dating.

Nagkataon lang na nandoon din siya sa Honoré.

I was there with my family. May mga distant relatives kasi kami na nagbabakasyon malapit sa lugar namin kaya nakipagkita kami sa kanila.

I posted photos in Instagram since my mother was sulking earlier. Influencer kasi yung isa kong pinsan. At ang dami niyang content kasama yung mga magulang at kapatid niya. 

My mother was pretty amazed of him. And then, Mom remembered her son who has little to zero social media presence. Sa akin bigla napunta yung spotlight. I somehow got compared. Ang haba ng naging conversation nila patungkol doon hanggang sa dumating sa tanungan na bakit daw wala halos laman yung IG account ko? Bihira na nga lang daw ako magpost at kung may laman man daw, photos ko lang or pictures na magkasama tayong dalawa.

Wala raw ba akong pamilya?

Even though I was somewhat coerced, I uploaded some photos because it was a long time coming. Hindi naman sa ikinakahiya ko yung family ko. I just want my life to be private. That's why even though my account is old, I only have two posts. 

Dalawang IG posts na ikaw din naman ang gumawa. And the amount of sheer force you used on me to prevent those from getting taken down, I would never forget. 

And destiny might have decided to play tricks on us both this day.

Crystal was there too. And they were unfortunately near our table so she got captured in one of my uploaded photos.

Hindi ko siya napansin. I won't even remember her if you did not tell me who she is. 

But I should have never underestimated the power of an avid K-Pop fan boy? Or should I call you by a more accurate term? What is it again? Sasaeng?

Just kidding. 

She sent a follow request by the way. I think I would never accept it. I looked at her account though and saw the pictures she uploaded. And my guess was right. Naka-follow ka sa kanya. At nakita mo ang mga posts niya.

You thought you have connected the dots, Mr. Detective. But you haven't solved anything. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I have to commend the effort, still. You did your research. Napakatalas ng mga mata mo. Hindi ka talaga pumapalya.

Best Research Awardee ko yata yan.

Hindi lang pag-o-overthink ang dapat mo tigilan, Cola. You should also try to stop overanalyzing things.

And to help you, I determined one solution for all of this.

Constant updates.

Para hindi ka na mastress. 

Is it fine with you?
