Palawan
They are eating at their hotel's restaurant.
"Panget niyo parehas. Ang ganda-ganda ng island, nakasimangot kayo dyan," saway ni Loel sa dalawa.
But the two just stared at him.
"Ano na naman ba yang away niyo?" Loel asked kahit alam niyang hindi sasagot yung dalawa.
But Bea broke the silence.
"Ugh, ang frustrating talaga." She now looked at Thirdy, who is still quiet.
Loel looked at her, waiting for more information.
"There's this girl near the beach who asked for a photo because fan daw ng The Grid, and she hugged him on the side. Hindi man lang nagreklamo to," inis na sabi ni Bea.
Loel laughed, causing the water to burst out from his mouth and nose. Napatawa din tuloy si Thirdy.
"Kadiri ka," he said.
"Ngayon lang ba yan nagselos?" Loel asked Thirdy.
"Yeah," he answered coldly, na parang wala si Bea sa tabi niya.
"Hey, I'm not jealous," sabat ni Bea.
Thirdy just looked at her for a good minute while she stared back. Then he kissed her hair.
"UGHH, nakakainis," she blurted out, which made the boys giggle again.
"What's so funny?" she asked the both of them.
But Thirdy didn't answer at sinubuan na lang siya ng pagkain.
"No," she said.
"Sige na. Sayang yung food."
"Why do you always win?" And Bea ate the food.

They went island hopping na inis pa din si Bea kay Thirdy. Loel is just busy taking photos of the island and the couple with him.
"Hey, I just don't wanna be rude," Thirdy whispered while they're on the way back to the hotel.
"Can't hear you," she said loudly.
And he hugged her from behind.
When they reached the island at pababa na sila ng boat, nauna si Thirdy.
"You want a piggyback ride?" he asked her.
Umiling si Bea at nangulit si Loel.
"Ako, gusto ko."
Thirdy positioned himself for Loel to ride on his back.
"Kaya mo ba ko?" Loel asked.
"Mood swings nga ni Doc kaya ko eh."
Lalong sumimangot si Bea at nauna na sa dalawang kolokoy.
The boys are laughing while walking sa sand nung di na kaya ni Thirdy. Loel had an idea.
"Ikaw na lang piggyback ride ko."
"Yan, yan."
At dahil kayang-kaya ni Loel, they ran pahabol kay Bea, acting like Thirdy could fly, pero she's still mad.
"Sa room niya muna ako ah. Wag mo ko masyado mamiss," Thirdy whispered to Loel. Loel just nodded at his friend.

Loel and Thirdy are sharing a hotel room. They're on the 8th floor while Bea is on the 10th. Nagulat siya when Thirdy didn't go down with Loel.
Tinaasan niya ng kilay si Thirdy.
"Sungit," he whispered sa tenga niya.
When they got off the elevator, she walked papuntang room niya and opened the door. Sasara niya dapat pero hinarang ni Thirdy ang kamay niya.
"Sorry. I just didn't want to be rude."
"Okay."
"Eh, you're not okay nga eh. Bakit ba kailangan magselos don? Ikaw lang naman mahal ko."
"I don't know," she answered coldly.
Thirdy walked towards her.
"I love you. She's just a fan of my talent. I'm sorry I didn't tell her na wag niya ko yakapin. Forgive me na."
He hugged her, but she didn't hug him back.
"Hindi kita bibitawan hanggat di mo ko hinuhug back."
But instead of wrapping her arms around him, she quietly sobbed, which made Thirdy look at her face. Siniksik lang ni Bea ang mukha niya sa dibdib ni Thirdy.
"Hey, don't cry," he said while comforting her.
"I hate this feeling. I know naman eh na you just didn't wanna be rude, pero why am I so jealous?" she said.
Thirdy smirked and cupped her face.
"Ikaw. Lang. Ang. Mahal. Ko."
And she nodded.
Thirdy kissed her on the lips. As the kiss deepened, he guided her closer to the bed until they both fell onto it. He hovered over her, caressing her lips with his own before whispering, "Mine."
Bea smiled.
He kissed her neck and whispered again, "Mine," then trailed soft kisses along her shoulder.
Before he could go any further, Bea shifted their position, leaving her on top. She kissed him deeply.
"All mine," she whispered into his ear.
Thirdy found it incredibly sexy.
And what happens next stays in their hotel room in Palawan.
