"Hello? What is it this time?"

"E-ellie! H'wag ka magtitiwala sa sasabihin niya. Sa lahat ng sasabihin niya, okay?"

"What? Sinong niya?"

"Kyulkyung! Don't believe her. H'wag kang matatakot na sumuway sa mga sinasabi niya!"

"Huh? Jihoon, for all I know, ikaw 'yung dapat na hindi ko paniwalaan. After your lies, may girlfriend ka na pala and tapos sinisiraan mo pa siya sa akin."

". . ."

"And how did you know na may sinasabi siya sa akin?"

". . ."

"Did she tell you?"

"No."

"Then what?"

"Because we were both blackmailed."

". . ."

". . ."

"Huh?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"You mean. . . she also. . .uhm."

"Yes. She told me that if lumapit ako sa'yo, papatayin ka niya."

"So. . . bakit ka ginaganun ng girlfriend mo?"

"She's not my girlfriend. And the thing is, may sakit siya. 'Yun ang nabasa ko sa files ni lolo. At alam ko rin na sinabi niya sa'yong layuan ako right? Or ako naman ang papatayin niya."

". . ."

"Bingo. She's crazy as hell."

"She said kaibigan mo siya. Sabi niya kinalimutan mo siya, sabi niya iniwan mo siya."

". . ."

"Who is she in your life?"

". . . I don't know."

"What?"

"The thing is simula ng lumipat ako dito sa city natin, kinalimutan ko na lahat ng nakakilala ko sa dati kong siyudad. Excluding Daniel. He was really such a dipshit. Sinusubukan kong kalimutan ng buong-buo ang buhay ko doon pero eto naman siya at sumusunod sa akin."

". . ."

"Daniel was my friend. And I have a dark past. Nakalimutan ko na lahat maliban sa kaniya. He's always everywhere, lagi nalang siyang nandiyan at nagpapakabait. I don't know pero masyado siyang mabait para maging kaibigan ko. He's too good to be true."

"Dark past?"

"Elle. . .we all have different kinds of past. Unluckily, I got the worst one."

"Jihoon. . .? Park?"

"Yes. That's me, bakit?"

"Paano mo nakilala si Daniel?"

"Something shitty happened to my life. Tapos tinulungan ako ng pamilya niya at doon ako tumira sa bahay nila. I know, papagalitan mo ako dahil bakit ako ganitong nagagalit sa kaniya kahit na tinulungan niya ako. But trust me Elle, my life is so shitty to the point na gugustuhin mo ng-"

"Ssh. Shut up."

". . . what?"

"I remember you now."

"What?"

"I remember you now."

"Huh?"

". . . you don't?"

"Who were you in my life?"

"Kinalimutan mo 'ko?"

"I don't know. Matagal na ba kitang kilala?"

"Kinalimutan mo 'ko."

"I'm sorry but, enlighten me please?"

"Jihoon. . .I'm brainwashed but I didn't intentionally forget you. Bakit mo ako kinalimutan?"

"Brainwashed?"

"Jihoon. Stop asking already. Mas mabuti na 'tong naalala na kita at hindi mo ako naalala. At least, nakilala ulit kita 'di ba? Ikaw nalang hihintayin ko."

"Wait, Elle-"
