Narrator's point of view


"I owe you my life now, Noona. Thank you very much. You're such an angel. You have no idea how grateful we are right now. Thank you! Salamat! Waaah! This is the best day ever!"


The straight faced girl holding the steering wheel groaned silently, asking what she'd done wrong to be punished like this. She couldn't help but fake a smile at how exaggerated and hyper the person on the passenger seat was.


"Don't worry, Noona. We can cook, clean the house, wash the dishes and everything. Leave it all to us. I assure you that we won't be a burden. Promise! You can count on us." Daldal ni Chanyeol habang napapabuntong hininga na lang ang kausap sa pag isip kung gaano mag iiba at iinggay ang mga susunod na araw kasama ang mga bagong tao.


"Pwede ba?" she turned a cold glance on the smiling guy. "Will you shut your mouth now?"


Unti unting tinago ni Chanyeol ang mapuputing ngipin niya. Pero hindi pa rin nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi niya, lagpas tenga na ata. Kulang na lang mag tumbling siya sa sobrang saya.


Habang tahimik lang na nagdidiwang ang ibang kasama sa likod. Relieved dahil mayroon na silang matutuluyan ngayon.


"Tangina." She groaned to herself, nagging at herself and questioning what had she done. It had been a very weird day. Parang hindi niya kontrolado ang mga nangyayari't decision niya ngayong araw. Mula sa pagtulong sa lalakeng may malaking tenga hanggang sa pagpayag sa makukulit na survivors na isama sila sa kanya. In short, ang tanga tanga niya!


Pakiramdam niya pinaglalaruan siya ng tadhana. Kahit anong gawin niya kanina, sinusundan siya ng karma't nilalapit sa mga wirdong lalakeng ito.


The five strangers might be free from the virus however she completely suspects them. Not only them but every survivor. Still, a strange part of her is telling her to do something she had stopped doing ever since she was betrayed – to trust someone once again.


"Kkaepsong~"


A voice from behind fished her out of her nagging thoughts. Someone spoke. Napataas siya ng kilay at tumingin sa rear view mirror. Nakita niyang parang nataranta ang mga nakaupo sa likod. Napakibit balikat na lang siya.


She placed her focus back on the road as her mind continued being a mess. Ang daming bumabagabag sa isip niya, kung anong gagawin niya sa mga survivors na kasama, kung anong klaseng tao ba sila, kung mapagkakatiwalaan ba sila, kung papatuluyin niya ba talaga sila o kung iichepwerahin niya ulit sila.


It felt like she was going to adopt a bunch of kids.


They might look manly but from the way they begged at her a moment ago, they really looked stupid and she couldn't help but doubt how they'd survived this long.


"Shit! Paano kung set up ang lahat ng ito?" her eyes grew wide in alert at the sudden probability.
