Mackie was in utter shock as he stared at the Instagram post, so many emotions rushed through him all at once, anger, sadness, stress, even heartbreak. Nobody answered him after he asked who was responsible, he didn't recognize the username, the post was the picture of him and Kiefer in that position last night, the words written over it were crying emoji's and shocking words about them suddenly being gay, he swiped and there was a candid shot of Esang cry, more words saying she was heart broken and that Mackie lead her on and lied and cheated on her, the caption talking about him, he wanted to cry, this wasn't true, he looked up from the phone,  seeing Kiefer's sad face. The look hated. That beautiful face sad, the picture of Esang's hurt crying look only made his heart ache more, he wanted to call out when he saw Kiefer walk off, jim going after him, he clenched the phone in his hand, the overwhelming pressure and sadness settling, he gasped when he was hugged, he processed what happened, Francis gave him the embrace he needed, the comfort, the touch of a true kuya, he let the tears fall as his legs weakened, crying in Francis arms as he was hugged, Francis rubbing circles in his back.

Later that day, after Kiefer and Mackie recovered enough to process again, they all went searching for Esang, she wasn't in her room, so they were searching the hotel. But one person found her, Esang turned, wiping her face, "Kiefer?" She questioned, staring at the long haired boy. "E-Esang, I'm glad I was the one to find you.....I think we have a lot to talk about" her said softly, "Yeah" the female replied as they simultaneously pushed their hair behind their ear, sharing a soft smile as they sat on a bench. "I'm sure we both know Mackie has feelings for the both of us...right?" Kiefer begun, Esang nodding at him. "We also know both know that post is not....true, Right?" Kiefer continued, after slight hesitation, Esang nodded quickly before sighing. "The problem is....how are we going to help him? We know we're in some kind of love triangle and Mackie is trying to choose, we have to help, now I was thinki-"

"You" Esang suddenly interrupted, Kiefer was caught off guard, "Um, what?" He asked in utter confusion. "He deserves you and you deserve him, its been clear that he truly  cares for you and I was just a phase, a simple old crush, I understand how meaningless that is now" Esang stated to the slender boy. "B-but, Esang.. " Kiefer started softly, Esang stopped him before he could continue, "Stop, don't worry, we'll all still be friends, the love....the spark..." Esang begun, getting out her phone, showing the picture Of Mackie and Kiefer last night, "This spark. Can never be challenged by anyone, its special, and its yours...nobody else's" she finished. Kiefer was so surprised, her words impacted him, he felt his heart piece together and start beating with sweet beautiful life, emotions awakening, memories bum rushing him, so much of it was rushing through him, a knew feeling had returned, and it was Victorious....Love. He felt like a bright shining star, like a Stars Love.
