Wow, you're still here! I can see you have the guts.
And everything inside that body of yours, now let me tell you something. The protagonists of this story are quite odd.
How so? Well, let's start with introducing the bastards.
Nakangiting binuksan ni Ryen ang glass door ng shop nila, he admired the place from the floor, to the walls, and to the ceiling. Bagong bukas lang kasi ang café na itinayo nilang magkakaibigan, and I don't mean that literally, what I meant was that ngayon ang opening ng café na matagal na nilang pinapangarap.
Mukhang mamahalin ang lugar, obviously kasi copyrighted ang idea sa st*rb*cks. Oops, I revealed too much.
Ryen Lexus Lewis is the youngest of the four members of a Kpop boyband. No, hindi sila counterpart ng Bl*ckP*nk, and no, hindi rin sila korean. What I mean is, apat silang magkakaibigang lalaki. They call themselves, Ex-Communicados, or ExC for short. Pati pangalan ng grupo halatang copyrighted.
Ryen, is a fourth year psych student. So basically, he's a part-timer. I know what you're thinking, if he's one of the people who built this place how is he a part-timer? Exactly. Most of the ideas sa paggawa ng lugar na 'to ay galing sa kan'ya. But financially speaking, he didn't really contribute a single dime. Kahit singkong duling wala. None. Nada.
So to make up for that loss, he offered to work, and supervise the place for whatever he owed his friends.
Kaya lang. . .
"Oh my God, Kim, hurry up. Ba't ka nakatulala d'yan. You're so ano ha," mapang-asar na sabi ng co-worker slash bestfriend slash one of the people who built this place. Hindi s'ya babae, at hindi rin s'ya bakla. This guy is named Rodolfo.
Oh, you don't like it? Hahaha! I can name a few people who won't like the names I'm gonna give the characters. Because as I said this is based on real life. But what the fudg*e bar, right?
Okay fine, I'm gonna give him a nicer name, sheesh.
Let me start again.
Hindi s'ya babae at hindi rin s'ya bakla. This guy is named Reinier Crest Benitez. I know, mouthful. But he looks like a Reinier because the Goddamn son of a Bloch is attractive.
So Reinier, is 3 inches taller than the maknae, Ryen, who is 5'7. That number is pretty tall in the place they live in. Hindi ko sasabihin kung taga-saang bansa sila pero mukhang obvious naman diba? He's the eldest of the group, he smiles a lot. He also has this bad habit of flirting with everyone. Yes, everyone.
If you think he hasn't got to you yet, are you really sure?
"Reindeer, ano ba'ng paki mo kung gusto ko matulala? Wala na ba akong karapatang gumawa ng music video ko? Jeez, nig—" okay, Ryen said some offensive word that goes beyond their history. I will use censorship for that word. Well, I don't think I need to kasi minsan sila na mismo nag se-censor ng mga kabulastugan nila. Anyways, "—nigeria," said Ryen while rolling his eyes.
Napailing nalang si Reinier sa sinabi ng bunso nila at naunang pumasok sa staff room para magbihis. Yes, this is what I was gonna say earlier. Hindi sila nag hire ng mga workers nila kaya silang apat din ang magiging crew nila. Galing 'diba?
Well, Jorge, one of their best buds and co-worker—yes that's what I'm gonna name him. No one can say 'no' this time—said, "mas maiging tayo nalang din ang magtrabaho kasi seriously, gusto nga natin kumita ng pera tapos magpapasahod pa tayo ng iba? Imbis na magpasweldo pa tayo, sarili nalang natin swelduhan natin. Am I right? Yes? Yes." Yes Jorge! Bravo! Good thinking.
