Chapter 22
*After Party
After the success of Felicity's fashion show, she wasted no time dragging everyone to celebrate at a resto-bar.
"My treat!" she cheered, looping an arm around the sulking Mangkukulam and the ever-smiling Kim.
"I'm not interested. Let's go," Dafnhie whispered to Lowiee, already tugging at his sleeve.
"Hey! Stop being a KJ!" Felicity clung to her as if they were lifelong best friends.
"Can you not?" Dafnhie snapped, yanking her arm free.
"I need to go home, too. It's late... and I doubt security will let me in. I'm still a minor, remember?" Mangkukulam spoke timidly.
"Well, no worries! We're going to Tan Club anyway!" Felicity announced with a mischievous wink.
'Fvck. Not that club again.' Dafnhie thought.
"Ohhh, sounds fun. Where is it?" Kim perked up.
"Not far. Won't even take an hour," James replied casually.
"Cool! What are we waiting for? Time to get wasted!" Kim practically bounced in excitement.
Dafnhie looked at Lowiee.
"Uhm... can we go with them? Just for like... ten minutes?" Lowiee asked, giving her his best pair of puppy eyes.
Now imagine it—Casanova himself, tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome Lowiee—trying to do puppy eyes.
"Fvck. I swear I'm gonna puke and stab my own eye," Dafnhie muttered under her breath.
"Omo! You're so cute, Lowiee!" Kim squealed, eyes practically popping out.
"I thought you already moved on?" Felicity raised a brow.
"Well, the admiration is still there!" Kim shot back without shame.
Dafnhie's gaze shifted to James. Kim was his ex, after all. But he didn't seem to care. His focus wasn't on Kim—it was locked on Mangkukulam, who was too absorbed in her phone to notice.
*Third day of Éxito's Festival
"I wanna go home," Dafnhie muttered irritably to the two beside her. She was bored, restless, and just wanted to crash somewhere quiet. Funny how she felt exhausted when she hadn't even done anything.
"Noona! Eonnie!~" Shin and Mangkukulam chorused.
'Ugh! Can't they just leave me alone!?'
"You promised Lowiee oppa you'd watch his game!" Mangkukulam reminded her with a teasing grin.
"Don't remind me." She slumped in her seat.
"It's almost time! After we ate, let's go to the gym!" Mangkukulam.

"Captain! Nervous?" James teased, grinning at the restless Lowiee.
