Bumangon si Baekhyun sa kama, napatingin sya sa kaliwang bahagi at nakitang maayos yon. Sanay na sya... Anim na araw, anim na araw nang ganto ang set up nila ni Chanyeol. The guy would sneak inside his condo in the middle of the night or after the taping tapos kinaumagahan, magigising nalang sya ng wala na to sa tabi nya.

The first time, akala nya panaginip lang lahat, but the faint smell of Chanyeol lingering inside his unit made him realize that it's real. Sinamahan pa yon ng pag-kain sa kusina nya at ang maliit na note sa fridge.

Tumayo sya at tumuloy sa kusina para makita ang note ni Chanyeol ngayon. It has been a part of his day every morning. Excited sya sa kung ano mang nakasulat sa note nito.

I wish you could see how beautiful you are when sleeping. Good morning baby.

Two sentences, two sentences to complete his morning everyday. Nakangiti sya habang kumakain, waiting for Chanyeol to call him. Nang mag ring ang phone, agad nya yong sinagot.

"Baby." Nakangiti nyang tawag sa kabilang linya.

[How's your breakfast?]

"Better than best?" Narinig nyang tumawa si Chanyeol sa kabilang linya kaya napangiti sya, silently patting his head for making Chanyeol laugh, "Did you eat breakfast?"

[Eating. I wish we could eat together though.]

"Ang aga mo naman kasi umuuwi eh."

[Paparazzi are everywhere, hindi ako makakauwi ng maliwanag na.]

Sumagot sya ng maikling hmm bago sumubo. "Why do you always cook for me?"

[Because you can't cook for yourself.]

"Sinong may sabi? I can cook for myself. Nabuhay nga ako ng ganto katagal mag-isa eh."

[What do you eat then? Greasy bacons and eggs? You shouldn't eat things like that! Unhealthy lifestyle Baek. You should be aware of your body—]

"Shut up Mr. Nutritionist. We both know how you love my body." Natatawa nyang sagot sa litanya ni Chanyeol. Narinig nya pa ang pag-singhal nito kaya lalo syang natawa. "Tapos na kong kumain. Maliligo na ko. Bye."

[Bakit kaya hindi mo nalang ako isama sa paliligo mo?]

"Idiot." Humalakhak si Chanyeol sa kabilang linya. Inilagay nya ang plato sa lababo bago sumandal dito. "Hang up."

[You should.] Napairap sya.

"Yeol. You hang up the phone. Ikaw ang tumawag at hindi ako."

[Don't want to.]

"Stop this cliche hanging up thingy, we're not on some kind of drama."

[Zei, hang up.] Napangiti sya sa narinig. Damn, why does Chanyeol have to be this... adorable.

"Yeol—"

[I love you.]

Dial tone.

Pag-katapos maligo, sumakay sya sa kotse para pumunta sa shooting location nila. Today is the last day to shoot at sigurado syang mamayang gabi, may party ang buong team. Aminado syang mamimiss nya ang mga ito pero damn, it was like a dream come true. Finally he could rest his limbs and sleep 10 hours a day.
