           Wait what?

   Did Ma really just say that?

I blinked, once, twice...until it finally sank in and once it did, my eyes grew wide, "You already knew!?" I yelled, exasperated. 

"It doesn't take a genius to figure it out lil' lion, you guys were pretty obvious." Ma replied , her eyes twinkling with amusement and curiosity. Oh no, I know that look, it meant  that she wants me or us I mean to spill the tea.

"Since when did you guys knew?" I asked, dumbfounded from the revelation as my eyes wander to the faces I consider my family, they were all grinning and smirking at us. I shifted my gaze to the girl with the most beautiful feline eyes beside me, she looks surprised as well, and maybe slightly embarrass as hinted by a slight blush that painted her cheeks. 

"Since you brought her with you to the cemetery to see Kyla's grave and I knew you aren't the type of guy who will bring anyone if they aren't special.", Ma answered.

I took a deep breath, so all this time they knew, they just chose to keep quiet and wait for me to reveal it to them.  Affection flows out of my heart as I let the information sink in and smiled at them. Yes, these are the type of persons they are, they might be annoying sometimes but  they were never pushy, they are patient, affectionate and supportive. They never judged me or my decisions even though I just disappeared on them, they still welcomed me with open arms. I looked at the picture of my past lover than is hanged on the white wall. She was smiling happily making her soft cheeks pop out and her dimples showing. Her eyes spoke louder than words, it's as if she was talking to me, my smile grew wider.

       Thank you my love, I will do as you say and I know that you never left me alone, though you are not here physically I know you are here together with us and will always be mine and now, Jennie's guardian angel. I love you, forever and always.

        I chuckled and shake my head in amusement, "I will never  beat you guys huh?"

        "Of course you won't, we know you better than yourself.",  Alexis answered proudly making  everybody laugh.

       "So I guess we need to explain everything to everyone now huh?" I raised an eyebrow playfully.

       "Obviously.", everyone answered, except Jennie who giggled at their answer. I raised both my hands playfully in defeat.

 I look at Jennie beside me and smiled playfully at her in which she reciprocated, "Shall we give them their story time Jen?".

Her smile turned into a  grin, "Let them be our guest."

Manila, Philippines

3:00 AM

         I woke up, feeling quite chirpy yet melancholic as I pulled the duvet out of my body and proceeded to have a cool speedy shower, brushing my teeth on the sink after.

 Me and Jennie have been here for a few days now and it has been one of the best times in my life. She has spent a good amount of time with my family and friends and they are already treating Jennie as another family member and of course we also spend time together, going out on dates and stuff; being careful and discreet about it of course. It'd be bad if we were photographed and I don't care about what effect it will have on me but Jennie would be the most affected one if that would happen. But then again, I feel like we know each other more now but then, inevitably all happy times must come to an end, we sadly have to go home, and what I meant by that is me going back to Thailand and Jennie to Korea. We still had to figure out about this long distance thingy.
