"H-Ha?!" Napatalon ako mula sa aking higaan nang mabasa ko ang chat ni Liander.

Halos hindi ko maipinta ang aking reaksyon dahil sa sobrang bilis ng tibok ng aking puso. Parang may pumipigil sa akin na huminga sa bawat segundo habang nalilito sa nangyayari. Has he lost his mind?!

I flipped over and buried my face into my pillow, trying to hide the warmth creeping up my cheeks. My face was undeniably red, and I couldn't stop the rush of emotions flooding through me.

Bakit siya mag I love you sa akin? Does he have feelings for me? I don't have feelings for him! Sure, he's handsome and all, but I don't have the time to get into a relationship! And even if I could reject him, if he really does have feelings for me, wouldn't that make things awkward at work? Ang liit pa naman ng mundo! Kahit sa CSU Carig siya nag-aaral, parang ang lapit niya lang sa USL!

"Maybe this was sent to the wrong person..." I swallowed hard before looking at his new message.

Parang naudlot ang lahat nang mabasa ko nang buo ang kanyang message— Is this a fucking spam message?

Wow, bakit mukhang disappointed pa ako?

Napawi lahat ng nararamdaman ko at mga ino-overthink ko kanina—gumagawa na nga ako ng mga plano kung paano siya i-reject, eh! Tapos spam message lang pala?! Ginulo-gulo niya pa ang isip ko!

Napatingin ulit ako nang may nag notify sa akin.

Liander unsent a message.

Liander:
I'm sorry huhuhu kaibigan ko 'yun 😭

My right eye twitched as I read his chat. Sa sobrang inis ko ay sineen ko nalang siya at ni-like react ang kanyang message bilang ganti. Akala mo talaga nakakatawa ang ginawa niya, eh halos hindi na ako makahinga kanina dahil sa chat niya—na spam message lang pala!

Kinaumagahan, nagising ako nang may marinig akong boses sa aking tabi.

"Noona... Noona..." I felt someone gently poking my cheeks.

I slowly opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was Cyan. It's Saturday morning, and he's already up so early.

"Cy, it's 7 a.m.," I said sleepily.

"Hi, Noona. Good morning," I heard his soft giggle. "Noona, Cyan wants pancakes."

I looked at him and noticed he was still wearing his chicken-patterned pajamas, which was adorable because, to me, Cyan is still just a baby boy.
