Kath's POV
As I open my eyes I felt different. I was looking at the ceiling and rolled to my left. Oh no, I was falling off the bed. I was expecting a hard fall, but instead I landed on something..no...SOMEONE. I was staring into his eyes until I realized they were Quen's. I didn't move, I just laid on top of him.
He opened his eyes and as it met mine, his eyes widen. Our face are so close that I can count his eyebrows. Our lips were milllimeters apart. I can feel his breathe. Oh and he smells like strawberries, my favorite fruit. Ang ganda ng mga mata niya. Did something happen last night? Could it be that we...? No, Quen wouldn't. We stayed like this until we heard a knock coming from outside.
"Pare, gising ka na?" Sheet, it was Dj.
Quen and I stoop up quickly, but quietly. Bathroom He mouthed. I ran there and locked the door.
I heard the door open.
"Oh Dj. Bakit?" Quen said.
"Nakita mo si Kath? Tinawagan ko siya kagabi hindi naman sumasagot. Pinuntahan ko sa kwarto niya, wala naman siya doon." I can feel that he was worried. I checked my phone and saw 25 missed calls from him.
"Uhm, si Kath? Hindi ko siya nakita eh. Sorry, pero don't worry, tatawagan ko siya." sabi ni Quen.
Hindi ko na narinig yung iba pa nilang ipinag-uusapan. I just sat on the toilet bowl and waited. Medyo nahihilo ako. Ang naalala ko lang ay uminom ako ng vodka sa bar ng hotel at pumunta sa elevator.
There was a knock on the door and as it opened, I saw Quen's face.
"Wala na siya, umalis na."
Lumabas ako at umupo sa kama. "Galit ba siya?" tanong ko.
"Hindi naman. Alalang-alala talaga siya para sayo." he said.
"Alam ko." I replied. "Ano ba kasi nangyari kagabi? Bakit ako naabot dito? May nangyari ba?"
"Ah.. You were drunk last night. Pumunta ka dito sa kwarto ko ng mag-isa. Sinabihan mo ako na you drank 6 shots of Hairy Navel. Then, umupo ka sa kama and you asked me to sit beside you. Ayoko sana pero you started cyring kaya tumabi nalang tayo, tapos nakatulog ka. Ihahatid sana kita sa room ni ate May pero wala siya. Kaya dito nalang kita pinatulog." He explains.
"Mabuti naman na ganun lang ang nangyari." I felt relieved na nothing bad happened last night.
"Sige alis na ako. Puntahan ko muna si Dj." I went for the door and looked back.
"Thank you." I said.
He smiled and replied, "Your welcome."
Lumabas ako tapos sinara ang pintuan. 7:00 na pala. Wala pa ako nakakaligo. Pero, inuna ko muna si Dj. Pumunta ako sa kwarto niya at kumatok.
Binuksan niya ito at nang nakita niya ako, niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.
"Kath, san ka ba kagabi?" He asked.
"I had an overnight with an old chum. Maaga kasi ako nakatulog kaya hindi ko napansin mga tawag mo. Sorry din na hindi kita nasabihan tungkol dito." I said
"May kaibigan ka pala taga dito?"
"Oo naman." I laughed.
We talked for a while until I told him that I should take a bath. I reached my room, smelling my perfume, Bench's Hug Me cologne. I went directly to the bathroom, took a bath and change my clothes. We will have shooting in an hour so I prepared myself for it. I still had doubts about what Quen said. I felt that there was something else that I did.

Shooting
Dj, Quen and I were at school for the shooting of the last episode that will be shot here in Korea. Maren and John graduates and their families decide that the two of them will study there for college. They were so happy but they didn't know that Richard will also stay there for college. Oh no! John and Maren spent time with each other, cherishing each moment here in Korea with their families. I felt envious, because I want to have this kind of happiness in reality.
CUT!
We all celebrated because finally we all could go home in the Philippines. Even though we can't make it for Christmas, being there with my family with or without a special occasion is what matters. Tomorrow, we are set to go home and have a break from shooting. Tamang-tama, we will also have a press conference for Lovesick. We will also promote the show in interviews. I was ready for the questions that they will ask about my relationship with Dj. Many of our fans would like me to have the feelings that they would like me to have for him. KathNiel. Nakikilig ako sa tuwing naiisip ko ang aming pagiging loveteam. But deep inside, a voice always seem to ask me these questions: Will I only love him because of our loveteam? Will I only love him, because he's the reason I broke up with Quen? Will I only love him because he loves me?
I am so confused of my feelings. I was so in love with Dj a month ago, but when we came here in Korea, I realized that I still had feelings for Quen.
I gently shooked my head to bring me back to reality. I was sitting on a chair, beside Dj. We were at a party for Lovesick. Direk Wenn was giving his speech and thanked us for a memorable experience here in Korea. The table next to ours is where Quen was sitting at. I looked at him and saw the guy whom I fell in love with before I met Daniel. A hand grabbed mine and led me to the dance floor.
"Let's dance." Dj said to me.
I faked a smiled and placed my hands around his neck. As we danced, I couldn't stop thinking about Dj and Quen. I knew that as soon that we will be back in the Philippines, things will change from then on.
