---Your POV---


Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari. Everything just started to fall down. Masaya naman ako dati. Kuntento naman ako dati. Wala naman akong pake dati. But, right now, I don't know anymore.


"Kompanya lang namin ang nabili mo, y/n! Stop acting like you can buy us too!", sigaw nya sa'kin. Napansin ko na namumula na ang mga tenga niya at alam kong galit na galit na siya. It's my first time seeing him like this, and I admit, natatakot ako. The gentle and smiley-faced man turning into an angry mess.


"That's the same thing. Alam mo kung gano karami ang kagaya ko out there. Can you please start thinking about them? About us?!" 


"I did! I am aware about you. Stop lecturing me about that because if you really are a Carat, I suppose you can understand na tao lang din kami! We fall in love just like normal people! Mapipigil ko ba yung puso ko if I find true love in one person only and not to every single one of you?! Ako nga hindi ko kayang pigilin to, what more kung ikaw pa, di ba?", he said bago ako iwan sa loob ng practice room. 


Tears streamed down on my face. Yeah, that is true... But it hurts like hell. Please, wag mo nang ipamukha sa'kin. Stop telling me the hurtful truth...please. Napaupo ako sa sahig and I hugged my knees. For the first in my life, I was not able to cry like this because I believed that crying is a sign of weakness. Pero wala eh, mahal na mahal ko sila. They're my world, my happiness, half of my identity. 


"I'm such a baby. I need to grow up soon or this will happen over and over.", I whispered to myself and chuckled when I realized na mukha pala akong drama queen. 


"Sabi naman sa'yo eh. Wag mo kaming gawing mundo dahil tao lang kami."


Tumingala ako para tingnan kung sino yung nagsalita.

 
"Hi, Mr. Choi.", I greeted him sarcastically. "Another set of lectures? If you are thinking of lecturing me more about the fan-idol relationship, pwede bukas naman? Napagod na ko explaining myself to Hansol-oppa.", I said and hid my face between my knees. 

Nakakahiya...

Siya pa talaga nakarinig nung usapan namin.

Wala na akong narinig na reply and I heard his footsteps grow faint. Mukhang aalis na. Sige lang. Iwan nyo lang ako ng iwan. I can handle mys---


"Pero ako, pwede mo namang gawing mundo mo, because I'm willing to be yours, if you agree to be mine.", I heard him whispered before ko naramdaman ang isang hoodie na pumatong sa balikat ko at mga braso na yumakap sa'kin.


I was shocked by the gesture pero I let him do it. And I let out a few more tears.


"Hell no. Not again. Hindi na ulit, Mr. Choi."
