Hey, Cupid:
Just how can a person begin again without getting lost? Just how can one walk a path he never imagined he would be walking on?

Vernon’s POV
This was it. I already left her. I have to start anew…I have to, even if I don’t have any fuckin’ idea how will I be able to do it, honestly. I actually, don’t have any plans for myself here. I just decided on a whim that I have to leave the Philippines or else Feb…would not be able to return to her old self.
It was hard of course; this was my first time leaving home. But I would talk to myself, saying that I’m not a little kid anymore and I shouldn’t rely on Feb all my life. I have to be a stronger person. I have to learn how to survive without her so that I wouldn’t be part of her burdens anymore.
I did my own research last night, book my tickets and look for a place I can buy to stay in. Funny how I was so broken and devastated last night but I managed to accomplish all that.
I knew I have to do that last night. Because if I didn’t, I might have doubts about my decisions, I might end up getting scared again, I might…choose to stay by her side even if I know it would just hurt her…
…and I might prioritize myself instead of her.
So, here I am, at Incheon International Airport, already getting my luggage. I was busy checking whether I missed something when I hear a commotion near me. It was a girl with a high-pitch voice, arguing with a middle-aged man who seems to be a foreigner as well.
“Hey, Mister Pervert. I’ve noticed you since a while ago and your hands keep touching my legs. You must have thought that I’m an easy girl, but well, let me tell you something, I am not and I will definitely report this harassment to the police.” The girl said, dialing a number on her phone.
“This is clearly your fault for wearing such revealing clothes. Look at what you’re wearing? You’re definitely inviting men to touch you. I just gave you what you want. And what? You’re calling the police? As if I’d let you.” The man said, holding the girl’s wrist stopping her from making a call.
“Eh gago ka pala eh! Wearing clothes that shows a girl’s skin isn’t an invitation for harassment!” The girl was trying to free herself from the man’s grip but he was much stronger.
Since nobody seems to care, especially the locals, I decided I should help the girl. I can see a certain someone in her…someone who taught me that lesson about women dressing up for themselves.
“Let go of her.” I told the man firmly, with a serious look on my face.
“What? So, you have a knight-in-shining armor now?”
“I am not her knight-in-shining armor, but I could be, if you won’t let go of her.” Clearly a weakling, he could only start a fight with a girl but he got scared when I interrupted this little show of his.
The man let go of the girl’s hands and furiously walked away.
“Why did you help me? I can handle that myself. Hindi porket gwapo ka eh sasama na ako sa ‘yo. Pare-pareho talaga kayong mga lalaki. Pare-parehong mga gago.”
“Wait, miss. Look, I just went out of my way to help you and I would receive such treatment?”
“You can understand Filipino? Well, whatever. The point still stands, I did not ask for your help. Look, he got away before I could even report him.”
