Your newly released movie just hit the cinemas, and of course, your girlfriend, Jhoanna, along with her fellow BINI members, decided to support you by watching it together. You were excited but also nervous—there was one thing you hadn't told Jhoanna.
A kissing scene.
You sat beside Jhoanna in the theater, holding her hand, while the other members were hyped to see you on the big screen. Throughout the film, everything seemed fine. Jhoanna was smiling, leaning her head on your shoulder from time to time, completely immersed in your performance.
But then... that scene happened.
A tense moment. You and your co-actor, John, in an emotional confrontation—then a sudden, passionate kiss. The scene was intense, well-acted, and beautifully shot. But the entire theater went silent.
You could literally feel Jhoanna's grip on your hand tighten.
Then—
"AHHHHHH?!" Maloi shrieked.
"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!" Aiah covered her mouth.
"ANO 'TO?!" Sheena gasped.
"DI NIYA SINABI 'TO!" Stacey dramatically pointed at the screen.
"Ang ganda ng acting pero..." Mikha trailed off, side-eyeing you.
Gwen and Colet exchanged looks, trying not to laugh.
Jhoanna, meanwhile, just stared at the screen, her jaw clenched, her eyes unblinking. You slowly turned to look at her.
Love... -You whispered, but she didn't respond.
She was stiff. Silent. Processing.
Then, without warning, she leaned closer to you and whispered,
Bakit hindi mo sinabi? -Her tone was calm but dangerous.
You gulped.
I-I was going to, pero— -You started
Before you could finish, John, who was sitting a few seats away, suddenly leaned forward.
Jhoanna, it was just acting, but honestly, I meant every second of it. -John said
The entire group went wild.
"OH MY GOD?!"
"NARINIG KO BA YUN?"
"WAIT, TEKA LANG!"
Your heart dropped. Jhoanna's eyes darkened.
She turned to you, her expression unreadable, then to John, who was looking at you with something... deeper. Something real.
The air became tense.
Loveyy... -You tried again, but Jhoanna simply stood up.
We'll talk later. -She said coldly
And with that, she walked out of the theater, leaving the other members shocked—and you, completely frozen.
John looked at you.
I don't regret saying it. -John said
You clenched your fists, standing up to follow Jhoanna, your heart pounding. You had a lot of explaining to do... and a jealous idol girlfriend to calm down.

You barely managed to catch up to Jhoanna as she stormed out of the cinema, her long strides making it clear that she was furious. You finally reached her outside, grabbing her wrist gently.
Jhoanna, wait— -You said
She yanked her arm away.
Don't. Just don't. -She said
