5:37 PM

Bea clutched Jho's hand tightly in her own as they walked together towards Jho's room. Bea felt better already. Only Jho can make her laugh after a bad day. Fitting na favorite flower ni Jho ang sunflower kasi she's like the sun. She makes everything brighter. She makes my life brighter, Bea thought happily.

"That was awful beh," Bea snorted after Jho made a joke. "Ang corny nung joke mo ha."

Jho nudged Bea's shoulder playfully as they approached Jho's door. "Kung makapagsalita naman ito. As if hindi rin corny jokes mo."

Bea grabbed and turned the doorknob of Jho's room to open it. "Excuse me, mas corny ka at —"

"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!"

Confetti exploded at her sides and Bea was overwhelmed by the sight and noise of her teammates surprising her with their cheers. Speechless, she took in the sight of several red balloons floating around the room, the cartolina posted on the wall opposite of her that spelled out "HAPPY VDAY BEA!", her teammates cheering and the strings of pictures of her and Jho hanging from the ceiling.

"Wait, what?" Bea exclaimed.

Jho appeared in front of her and smirked. "Ano? Akala mo ikaw lang pwede maghanda ng surprise today?"

Still speechless, Bea was able to do nothing but stare at her girlfriend in amazement.

Her smug expression turning into a shy one, Jho smiled and said in a nervous voice, "Happy valentine's day, Bey. Nagustuhan mo ba?"

In a flash, Bea crushed Jho in a big hug.

"YIEEEEE YUN O!" Their teammates around them cheered on.

"I love it, you're the best," Bea whispered in Jho's ear.

"Anything for you, beh," Jho whispered back, echoing what Bea herself said to her earlier.

Bea pulled back, her eyes sparkling with unexplainable happiness. She scanned the grinning faces of her teammates and was surprised to see Jia smirking among the group.

"You!" Bea pointed jokingly at Jia. "You knew about this all along?"

"Oo naman, kaya nga nagpapasama sana ako sa'yo kanina dito sa dorm e. Ako dapat magsusundo sa'yo," Jia laughed. "Tagal na nitong plinano ni Jho."

Still attached to Bea's one-arm embrace, Jho smiled gratefully at her teammates. "Thanks sa pagtulong niyo, guys."

Amy waved her hand dismissively. "That was nothing."

Ponggay made the shooting gun gesture with her hands. "You're welcome, ate!"

Kim winked. "Anything for the ALE's greatest love team, am I right?"

Jho and Bea rolled their eyes as the team made another round of "YIEEEEE!"

Alyssa placed herself between the couple and slung her arms around each of them. "And please ang tagal na naming hinintay na maging kayo. Siyempre more than willing kami to do this, diba?" Everyone laughed at their captain's rmark.

"O' tara na guys, bigyan natin sila ng privacy. Baka ma-hopia pa sila e." Deanna said, wiggling her eyebrows.

Jho moved to slap Deanna's arm and laughed. "Baliw ka talaga, Wong."
