"Ji."

"Hmm?"

"Sa tingin mo ba makakasal tayo?"

". . . I don't know. Never thought of it."

"Kuntento ka na ba ngayon? 'Yong magkasama lang tayo kahit na hindi kinakasal?"

"Why are you asking me this?"

"Sagutin mo na lang kasi."

"Hmm. Yeah. So far. I'm contented. Don't doubt."

"Pero hindi ba mas romantic kung ikakasal nga tayo. Hehe. Tapos 'pag tinanong tayo kung saan tayo nagkakilala, sasabihin natin, high school sweethearts natin ang isa't-isa. Then I'll say "The moment I saw him, I knew he was the one." Ganun."

". . . You'll make that person gag."

"Or melt. Kasi kikiligin ng sobra. Diba, diba. Hehehe. Tapos kung tatanungin nila tayo "Have you ever imagined being with someone else?" Then we'll both say Never."

"Do we have to get married to tell them that? 'Di naman siguro. 'Yan din naman ang sinabi mo n'ong tinanong ka ni Seungkwan n'ong isang araw."

"Mas romantic kasi 'pag ikinasal nga tayo. That would mean reassurance. Bind. Reassurance . . ."

". . ."

". . . bakit?"

"I never pegged you to be a man who wants to settle down. With marriage."

"'Yan. 'Yan ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit gusto kong makasal sa'yo. Para mapatunayan na mali kayo."

". . . I'll lightly ignore the fact that you said you want to marry me. At alam ko, na may gan'ong image ka nga. Sorry, pinaalala ko."

"I do want to marry you. Make no mistake. Naalala mo ba 'yong mga chismis n'ong college?"

"Yeah. Bad times."

"Bad times. Hah. My highschool days were heaven in contrast to that hellish experience. College was my hell."

"Masisisi mo ba sila? You had the looks, Cheol. With the piercings. Tongue and ear."

"Masama bang gusto ko lang mag-iba ng image?! Inakusahan yata ako ng halos lahat ng krimen e."

"You shifted from Boy Sakristan to Boy Manwhore, again piercings. Kung hindi lang kita kilala, 'yon din ang iisipin ko e. Na nawala bigla ang batang iyakin at uhugin at napalitan ng isang lalaking lahat ay gustong tuhugin."

". . . I'm dating a nerd."

"Shut up you love my rhymes."

". . . I love you more that's why I'm gonna ignore your rhymes. Kahit na nag-iba nga ang itsura ko, gan'on pa rin naman ang pakikitungo ko sa lahat ah. Chivalry is not dead with me."
