（   SETOKA   ）

Yuta is a bitch, we been knew. Why is he called an angel when he shows up in my room like a demon just to wake me up because he. Is. Hungry. I can’t fucking breathe.

“So, you’re trying to tell me that you’re hungry as fuck, and we come to Shangri La? Uh, what happened to our McDonald’s daily cravings?” I asked, but he just continued on singing this song called “Cash Me Out.” It’s by f(x), I think. Can he please. . . just. . . shut the fuck up? He’s been singing this since this morning!

When we arrived at Shangri La, he immediately dragged me out of the car and went straight to the ballroom in the second floor. Excuse me, we’re supposed to eat? Did Yuta lose his brain cells again? Ah, this is why y’all shouldn’t play LoL. Sigh.

“Se, dito ka muna. Hintayin mo ‘ko. Naiihi na ‘ko, eh,” sabi ni Yuta at umalis na papunta sa CR. Pagkaalis niya, agad na nagsara lahat ng mga ilaw at may humila sa akin papunta sa loob ng ball room. Agad naman akong nanginig at bumulong nang paulit-ulit.

“Kuya, n-nasa’n ka b-ba?”

“Baby, it’s alright.”

I heard a voice not so far away from me, and suddenly I felt safe. His voice feels. . . unreal. It still makes me feel so loved like the first time. All. Over. Again. Ah, Lee Taeyong’s effect on me. Damn.

The spotlight was placed on him, and suddenly I wanted to tear up.

He looks beautiful. Too beautiful that nothing and no one can even compare. In a sea filled with people, I’d rather stare at him. Ah, no. I would definitely stare at him. Who wouldn’t?

“I. . . really wanted to protect you, love. I’m sorry. It was a hard decision. I was obliged to choose between the archers and. . . you.”

I am already tearing up at this point. Lee Taeyong has a soft heart. He can’t choose between anyone. Close to him or not. . . he can’t. He won’t. I just know.

“You didn’t choose, right?” I asked, and he chuckled in response.

“You know me too well.”

Suddenly, I heard a familar tune play. The song’s ‘Sun & Moon,’ I think. It’s a beautiful song. Meaningful. Dreamy.

“I see you even when I close my eyes; I hear you even when I cover my earsㅡwhen I think of you even if you’re in a place where I can’t touch you, I can feel you,” pagkanta ni Jaehyun mula sa gilid. Narinig ko naman si Yuta na nakikikanta dahil malakas yung boses niya without even trying. Napatawa tuloy ako nang bahagya. Bwisit na ‘to.

“When my moon rises, your sun rises as well; under the same sky, in this different time. Our hearts are connected under the same sky,” kanta naman ni Taeyong at nakita ko na lang siya sa harap ko.

“You and I, you and I, you and I,” bulong naming dalawa, at napayakap na lang ako sa kanya.

“I thought I didn’t choose anyone, love,” bulong niya at hinigpitan ko lalo ang yakap ko. “But. . . I actually chose both. Just in the right time, I can have both my team and my love. And this is the right time. I love you.”

Thank you, Taeyong. For not giving up on me until the end.

Even now that I’m just a star which crashed. . . you still stood by me, making me realize that even if I’m just a star which crashed, you’d continue on getting my fragments.

All.

Over.

Again.

“I love you, too,” bulong ko at agad naman niya akong hinalikan kasabay ng salit-salitang sigaw mula sa mga tao dito sa ballroom.

What did I do in my past life to deserve him?
