Harper Andaya-Worst nightmare ko ang mag-perform onstage. Kaya tinanggihan ko ang pangungulit ni Sef-marketing executive ng TMG kung saan songwriter ako-na kumanta sa isang tribute concert. But after he presented me some really agreeable terms, I said yes eventually. Then I realized that I actually liked him when he's not acting stern and all businesslike. And when he smiled that simple smile-iyong ngiti na parang ayaw niyang ipakita sa iba dahil exclusive lang para sa akin-natutuwa ako. Why I feel that way about him, I really have no idea. Josefino "Sef" Macaranding-My task is to convince Harper, one of our songwriters, to participate in TMG's tribute concert. Dapat tapos na ang ugnayan namin nang pumayag siya. But for some reason, I keep finding myself minding her business. Bigla akong naging protective sa kanya at mananagot talaga sa akin if anyone messes with her. And why I was overwhelmed with a sudden feeling of possessiveness when some guy smiled at Harper, I really do not understand. ❤️❤️❤️ Follow Harper on Twitter @WriteMeASadSong and Sef @TheSefMac Visit and like the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheBreakupAnthem/
