EISUKE AND I SPENT THE DAY HANGING OUT TOGETHER. It was a lot of fun. Being with Eisuke is always fun. I remember having a big crush on him nung highschool kami but I am contended with this relationship that's why I never thought about confessing to him. Plus, he knows about my preferences and he still accepted me, he let me stay by his side. Anyways, my feelings for him right now had subsided, thanks to Keita.

Before we part ways earlier, Eisuke asked me the real question.

'Say, Youjin... Is there something going on between you and that guy, Keita?'

Wala akong naisagot sa kanya dahil kahit ako hindi ko alam kung anong meron sa aming dalawa. When I told him that I'm not really sure if there's something between us, he didn't said anything but instead he gave me a worried look. I understand why he's worried. He knows all about my past love circumstances. How I always end up falling for straight guys, how I was always told disgusting, how I always had my heart broken. He knows everything because I always confide to him.

I have no idea how will this turns out with me and Keita but I know for sure a happy ending is out of sight. That's why I'm scared to ask, because I don't want to end whatever this is this soon. Just until he's tired of it, or until he cleared his mind, or maybe until he finds a new girlfriend.

'Hey, Jin. Gising ka pa?' I received a text from Eisuke.

I quickly replied back. 'Yeah, y?'

'about my question earlier... can you tell me about it now?'

I stared at my phone for a second, wondering why.

'pwede bang sa personal ko na lang sagutin?'

After I pressed the send button my phone suddenly started ringing. Keita's name flashed on the screen. I hesitated for a second before I answered the call.

"Keita?" I waited for him to say something but all I heard was his fast breathing. "Keita? Hello? Okay ka lang ba?"

"Youjin..." He said in a low voice, whispering in my ear. Hinintay ko na magsalita pa siya ulit pero paghinga lang niya ang naririnig ko.

"May problema ba, Keita?" Worry started to grow on me. He sounded so down.

"Uhm... Nasa tapat ako ng bahay nyo... Pwede ba akong magstay over?"

I stood up in surprise. "Ha?! B-Bakit?"

"Okay lang naman kung hindi pwede, uuwi na lang ako. Pasensya sa istorbo." It bothers me how his tone sounded so lonely. Did something happened to him?

"No! Wait. Lalabas na ako. Dyan ka lang." I ran as fast as I can, stomping down the stairs, to Keita. And when I opened the front door, there he was standing in front of our gate looking up at me as if he's eagerly waiting for me to open the door. Pinagbuksan ko siya ng gate.

"Halika, pasok ka." I said as I studied his face. It was dark outside plus he had his hoodie on, it casted a shadow on his face making it hard to see what expression he's wearing now. Sumunod sa akin si Keita papasok ng bahay.

"Gabing gabi na nagtatakbo ka pa pababa ng hagdan, Youjin!" It was my mom. Naistorbo ko ata ang tulog niya. Her expression changed when she saw Keita. "Oh, Keita?"

"Pasensya po sa istorbo, Auntie. Pwede po ba akong magstay over ngayong gabi?"

"Eh? Walang problema. Basta wag kayo masyadong maingay sa taas."
