I hug my teddy bear as I wait for Kuya Kris' arrival at our front door. It's snowing tonight and I am wearing a sweater so I won't catch a cold. My mom is cooking our dinner while dad is inside watching tv. I look again at our gate as I wait for Kuya Kris' shadow to come, i'm getting bored waiting for him but I can't help but sit here because I already missed him, and I know that dad will tickle me nonstop if I stay beside him.I sighed but I immediately stands up when I heard the doorbell rangs.

"Coming!" I shouted as I happily run towards our gate and opened it, and I saw Kuya Kris so I hugged him. "Hi Kuya Kris! I miss you!" I shouted as he carried me.

"I miss you too,  Shane. How are you?" he asked as we went to our front door.

"I'm fine! But, not really." I said as my eyes formed tears. I remembered what happened to my school earlier. 

"Why princess? What happened?" he asks as we stop at our front door, I sob.

"They say, you are a liar, that you leave your group because you're not a good member. They---they--they--" I said and cried. He hugs me, and carreses my back.

"Don't mind them, princess. Okay?" he said as he kisses my forehead.

"But I can't help! They are saying bad things to you, as if they know you! And another one, you're my bestfriend. I'm hurt when they say bad words to you." I said and I cried harder.

"Sshh." he said as he wipes my tears. "Don't cry, you'll be ugly. And when you became ugly, you won't be my bestfriend anymore." Kuya Kris said as he continues to wipe my tears, I sniffed.

"Waaahhh!" I shouted and I wiped my tears  using my sweater.

"Gross." Kuya Kris muttered as he stared at me like I grew 10 heads. He then chuckled as I looked at him innocently. "You won't cry again, okay?" he said as he brushed my hair using his hand. I nodded.

"I won't!" I replied.

"Promise?" he asks, while grinning.

"Promise!" I answered as I raised my right hand.

"Good, because I don't want to see you ugly again." he stated and the door opened for us, mom and dad opened it. Kuya Kris greeted them.

"Because being ugly, is not your style!" I stated and we laughed.

"So you're just here for a vacation?" Dad asks as he chew the steak. We are already eating and Mommy is feeding me.

"Yes. I am having a rest because I have to take a break first." Kuya Kris answered and he eats too.

"I'm glad that you are fond of kids, specially my daughter." Dad complemented Kuya Kris as he looks at me.

"Of course, Antonio. You're daughter have too many reasons to fond to."  Kuya Kris replied, making my dad smile.

"So, when is your free time? Want to play basketball?" Dad asks, a wide smile still plastered on his face.

"On weekend, bro. Call?" Kuya Kris asks, grinning back to dad.

"Sure. Call." Dad answered and they continued eating while having different and random topics that I can't understand.

"Look at the stars! Didn't it look amazing?" I asks Kuya Kris as I sip my hot chocolate. We are at our front door and we already finished our dinner.

"Yes, it looks amazing. Galaxy." Kuya Kris answered as he sips his hot chocolate.

"Hmm. How's your day Kuya Kris?" I asks, still looking at the stars.

"Well, it went fine. I went to my family's house and I bond with them. I missed my mom so much that I even cried when I saw her again." Kuya Kris said, still reminiscing what happened awhile ago.

"When did you last saw your mom?" I asks, curious.

"Last January, when we celebrate New Year." he said and he sips the chocolate again.

"Is it hard being an idol?" I asks again.

"Well, actually yes. We practice, get hungry, and miss our family to earn money. But it's fun too because we got the chance to create new friends." Kuya Kris answered, while smiling.

"Do you miss them?" I asks again. He then looks at me, and his face softened,and nodded then sighed.

"So much. I really really really miss the 11 guys that I treated as my brother. So much that it hurts because they are angry at me because of what I had done. It seems so wrong to me that I chose myself than them. That I leave then mid-air for the sake of myself. I hate how I cry before I go to sleep because I miss them. Not to mention that I am not the only one suffering, but them too. I hate this feeling, the guilt, the miss, the memories. Everything. I hope this is just a nightmare. Wherein Tao will hit me by a pillow so that I will wake up and will rush to the bathroom because I'm already late and we have a full sched. But look, I'm still suffering because of my choice."  I was stunned when I saw how the tears flowed to Kuya Kris' cheeks. How he sobs because of his guilt and pain. How he thinks of his brothers first, how he overthinks everything. I then put my mug beside me and I hugged him.

"Don't cry Kuya Kris. You'll be ugly if you don't stop crying. You won't be my bestfriend anymore because Ugly is also not my style." I said as I hug him tighter. He hugs me back as he brushed my hair.

"Thank you, Shane. Thank you." He whispered

Kuya Kris bid good bye when Mom called me when its my time for bed, he was already smiling when I told him that his brothers misses him too, and they are all longing to see him too. Kuya Kris also promised that we will play tomorrow, and that he will teach me how to draw.

I felt the warm blanket as I hugged my teddy bear and a smiling Kuya Kris flashes in my mind as I close my eyes. I'm so excited for tomorrow.
