Months has passed.

Things have been going well for Psalm and Mark. They have been constantly seeing each other and have known each other deeply.

It was New Year's Eve.

Kurt is preparing the stuff he's going to bring to Xena, since they'll be spending the new year at the hospital.

Kurt: Are you going with me?

Psalm: Yep! Pero I'll catch up with you later... I just need to meet up with Mark for a while...

Kurt: Okay... pero bilisan mo ha...

Psalm: Opo Kuya!

Kurt: Why don't you bring him with you when you get back?

Psalm: Why?

Kurt: Anong why?! You need to introduce that guy to us already!

Psalm: Okaaay fine! I'll ask him!

Kurt: Gusto mo ihatid nalang kita?

Psalm: Nah, it's close lang naman. I'll just walk.

Psalm has been improving her Tagalog skills since Mark takes the time to teach her everytime he fetches her from work.

Kurt: Mag ingat ka!

Psalm: Yes, po!

Psalm ran to their meeting place.

It was a breezy evening, so much was going on outside. A lot of people were celebrating. When Psalm reached the tree area, Mark was already there... and he prepared something for her...

Psalm: Happy New Year!

Mark ran towards her and hugged her.

Mark: I missed you...

Psalm: It's only been a week...

Mark: I still miss you!!!

Psalm: So kumusta?

Mark: Hmm... Okay lang... I'm bored most of the time because I already read the books that the tutor has given me...

Psalm: Well, at least you're starting to go back to school...

Mark: "Home school"

Psalm: I still don't understand why you're-

Mark: Because I'm special...

Psalm: But seriously...

Mark: Sussh... I choose homeschool because I want to control my time...

Psalm: Pssh... lies...

Mark: I want to spend more time with you...

Psalm: Whatever...

Psalm walked towards the tree where Mark prepared something...

Psalm: So you prepared all of this? Or you payed someone to prepare things again?

Mark: I prepared everything...

Psalm: Hmmm...

Mark: I even cut my thumb...

He showed his thumb.

Psalm: Okay fine, I'll believe you...

Mark sat on the blanket he prepared.
