Philip was called Sunshine, most of his friends did, because of his smiles and bright, yellow eye. Jae, (JaPaN's Sis OkAy) and Spain calls him with that too, but sometimes Spain called him "Sunshine boy", and his hero, America calls him "Sunny". A sobriquet that Philip almost thought was almost too warm...

It's jut that, even though he's called Sunshine or something like that, he's a loner at home, anxious every time.

People know him as the president, however for some reason, Martial became a substitute to his place. Why is he a business man instead you ask? "Are you sure?" Martial asks, "Uh...Yeah." he thought it could be better. He also wanted to be busy at something, doing nothing sounds like a lazy man would do.

Otherwise, he can't be seen as the sunshine boy who smiles even when it comes to problems.

He eats Tinola for breakfast, which took him an hour to cook. He was in Luzon this time, Pangasinan. He can speak pangasinan if he has to. He's the president, leader and everything yet he can't speak a native language of his, in fact almost all of them.

What to do today? Have fun? He can ask friends, so he's going to be the sunshine boy. The three on the video call awhile back might as well be in the Philippines, on an apartment located somewhere. Maybe because Indo wanted to visit his apartment, maybe because they want to hang out or lift Philip's hopes up---

The phone rang, when he was about to take his first bite to his breakfast, he lazily walks toward the living room, where his phone was charging on a corner at a table. He unplugged it then realized that it was his assistant, Jerome.

"Hello?" He waits for a response, it took a moment for Jerome to answer, "Goodmorning sir, sorry if I disturbed you, but can we meet on the restaurant later in the evening?" He asks in a smooth tone. "Sure, why?"
"You'll see when you come there."

Perhaps it is going to be about an issue on their business, which is knows as their trading industry. "Oh, okay then, 6:00 pm?" Philip makes sure. "Maybe earlier than that"

,__,

What Jerome mean was the restaurant near his house;Olivia's. Philip appreciated the food served there, and so he liked the restaurant. He arrived exactly at 3:00 pm, he used his car. He was wearing his uniform during weekdays, to sound formal.

He saw him after going in, he saw the table he was sitting at, on a corner beside the wall. "Good evening, sir." Jerome greets. "Good evening," he smiled, then sat down to his chair.

"I've already taken your order. " he said, with a chuckle,of course he knows that Philip likes vegetable salad. "Thanks." And then they paused. Philip glances to the Filipinos that were almost looking at him, looking surprised that he's here right now and they are being noticed but the president. "So...What brings me here?" He finnaly asked, going back to Jerome's attention. Jerome adjusts his glasses.

"Well, I want to ask you whether you are coming to america's house, attending to the meeting perhaps?" He questions him. "Ah,oo, naimbitahan ako (Oh yeah, I was invited) " he answers, how did he know that?
"Great, sa tingin mo ba na pupunta si Russia?(Do you think that Russia will attend the meeting?)
" Oh, I guess so.."

" Do you think that America's commencing a new law in greenland? Or with Greenland?" Jerome's face became solemn, strange... "I don't know yet... Do you?" He replied, then Jerome sighed in relief. " I'm not sure.."

He saw something behind those brown eyes,fear. What's about Greenland and America this time? "Youre right there when it was world war ll, right?" He sounded suspicious, he's never questioned random things like this. " Yes."

"I guess that question was obvious." He says, Philip felt weird, it was obvious, then what's with the question? (DaMn tHiS iS AnImE) "Umm...anong ibig sabihin mo?( what do you mean?) Philip ask am nervously, trying to hide the fact that he knows Jerome is observing him for something, something that he doesn't know yet.

Jerome didnt answer for a while. "..America gave you an invitation to travel from here to his country," he officially ignored his question, it surprised Philip. "..About a meeting that is probably going to be about that two again.." Philip agreed, but this wasn't a part of his business. " He'll surely make you support him to this problem, or him. " Philip's eyes narrowed. " Maybe In a harsh way. " harsh. It bothered him, not here him because of their dark past, history was not a big deal, but it is when people tells the uncomfortable past. Forget it, please.

" W-well, America's an amiable country so he won't make it difficult.." he avenges his words. " Maybe. "
He said with a grim voice. " What if something bad happens in the meeting?" Philip's brows lowers slowly. " I've heared that Russia and America has been arguing last week. " they were, " Is it really the right decision to go there?" Jerome showed a different smile.

Philip's courage from attending the meeting decreased a little, maybe Jerome is just trying to force him to not go there. Why?

"I'm sure," Philip answered, and Jerome doesn't seem to be satisfied with what he said, " Just--Why are you asking me these questions?" Philip had enough, "Isnt it obvious?" Jerome's grin disappeared, "I'm just telling you that something you don't want will happen there." The food was finnaly served, "Thank you for the food." Philip says to the waitress, and she nod once, smiling.

Philip moves his attention back to Jerome, he glared at him, subtly. Jerome began eating his dinner, he noticed. " What is it, Are you eating that or...?" Philip awkwardly blinked twice, " Uh..Yeah.." and takes his spoon, still looking at his strange friend.
