we could hear the audiences' claps after our performance ended. after weeks of practicing, it's all finally over. lumapit agad ako kina yeji para i-congrats sila pati na rin ang ibang casts pati production team. may umiiyak pa ngang propsmen dahil wala raw siyang tulog. i'm happy since it's well done!

sinuri ng mga mata ko ang multi-purpose hall kung saan kami nag-perform. hindi ko man lang siya nakita sa bahagi ng hall kung saan nandoon ang mga audience, kanina ko pa siya hinihintay.

isa-isa nang umalis ang mga tao sa venue at nagligpit na rin kami ng gamit since we'll be going home after para makapahinga naman daw kami dahil next week na ang extramurals. sumama na ko sa ibang members para magpalit ng damit sa rest room ng venue.

paglabas ko ng rest room, i saw him. nakatalikod siya at dahan-dahan naman akong lumapit. "beom." i tapped his back and he immediately turned to me.

"ddaeng, you're here! sorry. hindi ako naka-attend dahil na-late ako ng gising." sabi niya habang nakatingin sa'kin.

"choi beomgyu, you didn't keep your promise."

"i'm sorry." he said while pouting. sino ba namang makakatiis niyan? i just nodded my head and headed to the elevator.

"nagtatampo ka pa rin eh."

"ayos nga lang." i said. i badly wanted to talk to him more but i can't keep my mind off of what happened earlier. hindi ko kayang magpanggap. i know he's busy in his training and i don't want to give him any burden.

pumasok ako ng elevator at nagtungo sa ground floor. tahimik siyang sumusunod sa'kin. hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito.

did this kind of scenario happened long ago? i shook my head. he's not like felix. i should not think about him or anything happened in the past. but why does it feel like the same thing's about to happen?

"are you okay?" tanong niya. bigla akong natauhan. "oo naman." sagot ko pero something's still bugging me.

"by the way, kinausap pala ako ni coach bang nung isang araw."

"anong sinabi?"

"akala ko papagalitan ako dahil baka naiistorbo kita sa practice—"

"no, hindi ka istorbo." he cut me off. "i guess so." napangiti ako bigla.

"i'll be representing SHU at extramurals... as the muse." hindi siya nagulat, instead, he looked proud. "i knew it. i knew you'll get it."

"ano?" sabi ko habang tumatawa. "he kept on asking me questions about you in the past few days. saka, you deserve it. bagay ka naman talaga as muse." beomgyu said and patted my head as he usually does.

"i'll support you. you'll win, alam ko." sabi niya.

"promise?"

"promise."

"don't ever break another promise again, okay?"

"okay."

"okay."
