DON'T FALL | SB19 Fanfiction

Episode 2.5

Last night, Felip's revelation of his true character made it easier for Paige.

Paige's introvert nature helped her distinguish what's real from what is not.

But last night, Felip before bed is definitely the real Felip.

Homesickness wakes Paige at 4AM, missing Milo a little too much.

Hopefully, she's the first one to wake up.

So she can walk around the kitchen without having to socialize yet.

Paige isn't ready to be around this many people in one house.

Paige decides to make a friendly gesture by cooking breakfast for everyone, remembering what Felip said last night: to live with the imperfections. To just... live.

So Paige tries to brush off her people-pleasing mentality.

It's going to be the first time she'll be preparing breakfast for a group of humans and not just for a tiny dog.

Paige wonders if someone will be cooking breakfast for Kent today.

She wishes it's her who will do it for him.

But how? She's currently facing a 24 hour in-house challenge.

Besides, she hasn't heard from Kent ever since the day he told her that he needs time to think everything through.

Kent hasn't been responsive to her for a couple of weeks now.

Until Paige has learned to respect Kent's request for a time apart.

Still, Paige just patiently waits for Kent to call, despite her pain of being somewhat ghosted.

"Aga mo naman" (You're up early) a male voice almost made Paige drop the carton of eggs from her arms.

The guy had a dark, long hair tied up in a ponytail. He then assists Paige so the cartons won't fall to the ground.

Paige's shocked reaction must have entertained him so much that he couldn't stop smiling so wide "Tulungan na kita" (Let me help you)

"Hindi, okay lang. Marunong ako mag luto ng breakfast, promise." (No, it's okay. I know how to make breakfast, I promise) Paige, flustered, nervously picks up the utensils that she needs to start with the errand.

"Pero yung prinsesa ang dapat pinagsisilbihan, diba?" (But a princess should not be the one doing the service) The guy leans on the kitchen counter, his arms folded on his chest. He has this distinct scent that reminds her of Felip's.

With strong conviction, Paige insists "Yun na nga eh. Ano yon, pa-cute lang ng pa-cute? Ayoko naman ng ganon." (That's the thing. Princesses just sit and look cute, and I don't want it.)

The boy snickers secretly at how Paige could say whatever she has on her mind without filtering anything from it.

"Oy Pabs..." The familiar deep voice interrupts "Ano ginagawa mo sa alaga ko ha?" (What are you doing to my partner?)

Felip shows up, fully clothed, a hoodie over his head, rubbing his always squinty eyes. The smell of his godly perfume isn't as strong as yesterday anymore.

"Uy! Bat ang aga mo magising ngayon, par?" (Woah. You woke up early for the first time?!) The long-haired dude fakes wiping tears of joy "It's a miracle!!!"

"May babantayan ako eh! Bakit ba" (I have to watch over her! And what's it to you?) Felip looks like he's not really happy about waking up early.
