( TAEYONG )
Yuta would hate me for this.
We’re still friends, but I’m pretty sure my name’s already written down on his death note because I’m one of the reasons for Setoka’s pain. Jaehyun told me persuading Yuta was a pain in the assㅡwell, you hate me, Yu. I get it!
“Yong, what are we singing again?” tanong ni Jaehyun sa’kin at natawa naman ako. How can he forget the song we'll be singing. . . well, not surprised since he does well without even trying.
“Sun & Moon,” sagot ko. “Ah, yung may ‘you and i, you and i’ gano’n?” dagdag pa niyang tanong at tumango-tango naman ako.
Sun & Moon is a beautiful song. It talks about the difficulties of a pair trying to keep up as their sun and moon rises. How the pair believes that at the end, they’re still connected. . . under the same sky.
A lot of people interpret it as a relationship of two people in a long distance relationship, but I like to think of the sun and moon as obstacles. Obstacles to see your partner, to feel them, to show them your love. Those obstacles that get in your way and you can’t seem to get them out. . . but still, you hope that you’re both connected. Connected by the heart, the mind and the soul.
The Shangri La staff arranged the ballroom to look like a paradise. There are lots of plants, flowers and beautiful aroma. Some stuff Setoka would probably love. Jaehyun thought of it, and I think it’s brilliant. It makes the ambiance dreamy. I want Setoka to feel like she's dreaming when she’s with me.
Not nightmares.
“Yong, papunta na daw si Yuta. Kasama ‘din si Sicheng,” sabi ni Jaehyun at bigla naman akong nahiya. Ang daming manonood sa mga plano ko, nakakahiya kaya.
“Jae, can you assure me that things are going to be okay?”
“Check your twitter.”
I looked at him after, and he just continued devouring his donuts. Ah, he really. . . really knows what I need to have to ease everything that’s making me feel uneasy.I don’t know what I’ll do without you.
“Thank you,” I mouthed and took one last deep breath.
I’m ready.
