star's pov

they're still arguing, hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at nagdirediretso nalang papunta sa pinto. jasmine called me so napatingin naman ako sa kaniya.

"where are you going?" she asked while raising her eyebrow. i shook my head and ignored her question, narinig ko na kasi ang busina ng kotse ni taehyung kaya hindi ko na nasagot.

sumakay ako sa kotse at nakabungad na agad ang ngiti niya. "anong nginingiti-ngiti mo diyan?" masungit na tanong ko sa kaniya at napatawa naman siya.

"wala, you look cute." he said and started driving.

"where are we going?"

"kung saan mo gusto." sagot niya at ngumiti sa akin, i just nodded. "gusto ko sa malayo, tapos beach." request ko sa kaniya and he chuckled.

"sure, anything for my star. may alam akong resort sa batangas." sagot niya sa akin at pumayag naman ako.

nagpaalam ako sa kaniya kung pwede ako magpatugtog, masyado kasing tahimik, pumayag naman siya kaya nagplay na ako ng mga kanta sa playlist ko.

"honey! aaaaah, i'd walk through fire for you, just let me adore you!" kanta ko kaya napangiti si taehyung, he also sang along to adore you, kanta ni harry styles.

"i'd walk through fire for you, just let me adore you." kanta niya ay tumingin sa akin sa part na 'adore you'. i looked away kasi bigla ako nakaramdam ng hiya at konting awkwardness.

natapos naman ang kanta at tumunog naman ay ilysb ng lany. he looked at me and smiled, "i like that song." he said.

nanlaki ang mata ko nang bigla niyang hawakan ang kamay ko, "let's drive around town holding hands." he sang while our fingers are intertwined. i felt butterflies in my stomach.

"and you need to know you're the only one, alright." kanta pa niya, and it felt like he's indirectly saying it to me.

"i love you babe, so bad." i sang along and he looked at me, mabilis lang ang pagtingin niya dahil nagdidrive siya.

he smirked, "i love you more, babe."

i looked away when he said that, gosh! bakit ang init sa kotse nito? dahil ba nakajacket ako? naiinitan na ako! jusko! feeling ko namumula na ako!

"you're like a tomato." he said, na parang iniinsulto pa ako. i rolled my eyes kahit nakatingin ako sa may bintana.

"this is fun."

"what is?"

"travelling with my favorite star." sagot niya kaya napatawa ako. nakaupo kami sa beach at pinagmamasdan ang dagat.

"it's beautiful, right? so calm, so peaceful." i said while admiring the scenery, i heard him give a small laugh, "yeah. it is beautiful. sobrang ganda." i smiled and looked at him, he immediately looked away. what was that?

"hindi kita tinitingnan ah."

"i didn't say anything, stupid." natawa ako. he sounded so defensive that's why i found him funny. i didn't even say anything!

taehyung informed me na sa isang araw pa ang uwi namin, pumayag naman ako dahil sa ngayon ay naiistress pa ako sa mga pangyayari. i need to relax and chill. and this is exactly what i want, and what i need.

this is fun, masaya ako kahit sa ganito lang. it made me appreciate taehyung more, he's really doing his best for me, wala na akong pake kung iniwan niya ako noon. i'm giving him time to prove that he's worth it, and i'm glad na unti-unti niyang napapatunayan na he's worth it, for me.

actually, he doesn't need to prove na he's worth it, simula palang naman nakita ko na yung worth niya, kahit na nagalit ako sa kaniya noon. it's fine, parehas lang naman kami nagalit sa isa't-isa.

and i think it's time for him to know the truth,

"is something bothering you?" napalingon ako kay taehyung and i just shook my head. he raised his eyebrow, "hindi ako naniniwala."

"mark messaged me," he said, "he apologized for what happened. siya daw may pakana ng lahat, the picture was edited and told your friends about it." he continued.

"yeah, they believed his stupid ass." i laughed.

"and now they're fighting dahil lang sa hindi sinabi ni mina sa kanila na she knew the truth, na she knew mark's intentions,"

"and what's weird is, all of them knew the truth, and si mina lang ang hindi nagpabulag." i continued.

he hugged me, "i'm sorry." his voice cracked and heard him quietly crying.

"i didn't know how much pain i caused you, and i didn't bother talking to you kasi napaniwala rin ako." he said at hindi pa rin nabitaw sa pagkakayakap sa akin.

niyakap niya pa ako ng mas mahigpit, "i'm so sorry, star."

bumitaw na siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin and i wiped his tears

"it's fine, taehyung. we're fine. don't think about it na, okay na tayo. no more ghosting, tae. we're no longer kids."

"no more ghosting."

we looked at each other's eyes for 5 seconds, my eyes widened when he kissed me, i did not respond at first, pero i did after a second.

we were kissing passionately, nagulat nalang ako nasa room na kami, he laughed at my reaction and kissed my again.

"what the, taehyung!? nagsex ba tayo?!"
