Ella just finished dressing up and combing her hair, when she heard her door bell chimes. It couldn't be Shinye, she left thirty minutes ago.
“Coming!” she shouted out from her door. She went out her room and went towards the front door to open it.
Nobody was there, she looks down and found the same summer tulips Slaven gave her yesterday. Only this time, it's arranged beautifully in a vase.
She picks it up, sabay lingon pakaliwa't kanan, walang tao. She brings it in, locks her door and look for a card or anything on the flowers. She found it.
But when she opens it, its all written in Hanguk characters and she can't understand one word from it! Damn! Well, except one generous line at the bottom.
---'Looking forward in recording the song with you.' -Slaven.
Thugs! Sabi ng puso niya pagkabasa sa pangalan ng sender. 'Yun lang?' Anong ibig sabihin ng words in Hanguk characters? 'Damn that guy!' Why is he making her feel this way??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hi everyone!” Slaven greeted as he entered the recording studio.
They are meeting for the recording of 'Come back to me'. He looked around for Ella.
“Not yet here.” Shinye whispered behind him.
“Eh!” He almost jumped out. “Waeyo? But she's coming right?” he worriedly asked.
What if she's still mad about what happen? What if she quits?
“She's with Leah. They're probably caught in traffic. Don't worry, she looks fine now, than that day after the presscon.” she is teasing him again. “Seriously though, have you think it over?”
“About what?”
“She's Filipina, you know. Their culture is different from us. If you kiss a girl here, it's just casual. But if you kiss a Filipina, then its something serious, either you already have a relationship or you're starting one.”
“How did you figure that out?”
“I was fishing from Leah yesterday. Of course, subtly. I don't want anyone to think I'm starting an affair from someone from the Philippines, or I'm trying to match one. People here are too smart for
their own good. I'll talk about a Filipina and a Korean guy, they'll end up concluding it's you and Ella.” she said that while shaking her head. “So, what's it gonna be now?”
“I've sent her flowers the other day, just like you said.”
“And?”
“I just left it at her front door, actually.”
“Did you leave a card or a message with it?”
“Yeah, in Hanguk characters.” he coolly answered.
“How is she supposed to understand that?” wide-eyed Shinye asked.
“She's not suppose to know it yet, not now, anyway. She'll get awkward with me while recording, I don't want that. I just left a note in English saying, 'I'm looking forward with recording the song with her.'”
“Good thing, at least she won't freak out. But she'll probably be uneasy wondering what the 'secret message' mean.” she said with much emphasis. “What does it says?”
“Ella doesn't even know. Why should I tell you?”
“Just fishing.” she giggled.
