Everytime I watch movie, while everyone else is enjoying the happy ending, I get stucked asking what happened to the second lead. Those characters the author put to add some flavor, to make you read another page or watch another episode. Those characters the protagonist needs to meet first before they got to figure out their life together.
Parang waiting shed. Sisilungan, tatambayan, babalik-balikan pero hindi mo tatawaging tahanan. Pinagtagpo pero hindi tinadhana.
We always see the transition. Kung paano sila unti-unting nawawala sa spotlight. Kung paano sila unti-unting binibitawan. Hindi pinipili.
This time, I refuse to be more than the almost, the what if. I refuse to not be on the spotlight. This time, I get to tell my happy ending, too.

Author's note:
Ang dami kong iniyak nung nag-"confess" si Jung Hwan kay Deok Sun sa Reply 1988. Ang daming sana ganito, sana ganyan. Gaano man kaganda and satisfying yung ending para sakin, a big part of me wanted to know what happened to Jung Hwan. Consolation man lang sana sa puso kong sawi. Huhuhu hahahahahaha. So I promised myself to write a happy ending for Jung Hwan, o sa mga Jung Hwan. Gagawin natin silang bida. Bibigyan natin sila ng deserve nilang istorya.
Read and meet Laya. ✨
