Tokyo, Japan; May 16, 2028

AS THE TIME PASSED, the relationship between Ran and Eliana remained strong. But they still don't make it public. Eliana does not want everyone to know that they are in a relationship because of their privacy as individuals. This is also a secret of Eliana's family. Eliana's father also wants to test Ran when he goes to the Philippines and Ran will not back down and accept the challenge.

Ran's family knows more about their relationship because they were the first to know about them even his teammates, but they promised Ran that it's a secret.

They were at the Tokyo Arena since the VNL is near because it will start on May 30 and in just a few days they will compete again.

And Eliana is watching their practice, there is even a chance that she helped to refill water and give a towel. Ran is not that jealous anymore because she has trust in Eliana, Eliana does the same to Ran.

Ran's fear of falling in love has also disappeared because Eliana proved that she will not hurt him. "No, Eliana has already proven that she will not hurt me because she is genuine in dealing with me and has never been judged by who I am. Isa pa . . . mahal niya ako."

Every time the girl looked into Ran's eyes, it was sincere and the young man felt safe."Kaya masaya akong nakilala kita, Eli."

After the practice, their English lesson continued and they added that Ran can now speak Filipino. He has improved a lot in speaking and can really be considered a fast learner.

"Very good, Ran!" Eliana said and patted the young man's head. "You're indeed a fast learner!"

"Because my teacher is extraordinary, that's why."

The conversation between the two was interrupted when Ran's phone suddenly vibrated. Eliana looked at it because she was curious. "Uh, Eli, can you wait for me? It's an emergency, my friend needs help and is currently at the hospital."

Eliana's eyes widened and said, "Okay okay! Take care!"

Ran just hugs her and leaves. Eliana couldn't help but feel sad. Both of them don't say I love you but a love action only. Eliana couldn't help but think, does Ran still really love me?

Ran went to the hospital to visit his friend. It was Hana, his ex-girlfriend, and his first love. Hana immediately called him to come for her. Since Ran's anxiety has disappeared, he allows Hana to reopen their friendship, but Eliana doesn't know that. Ran went with Rui to assist him.

"Are you okay Hana?"

"I'm okay," Hana replied. "Thank you for fetching me here."

"What happened to you?" Ran asked.

Hana touches Ran's hand and says, "I felt dizzy, you were the person who I think can help me."

"Okay, I'll take you to the taxi, I should hurry . . ."

"Is that because of your girlfriend?" Hana asks. "For an old time's sake, help me to get home."

Ran agreed and Rui shook his head. "It's wrong bro. You should stay away from her until Eli-chan finds out about your ex."

"Eli will understand it," Ran said he is indeed sure about that. "Come with me just to make sure."
