JALLEN dropped Pavlo and Vester off in a particular shop to give them the privacy that Pavlo insisted on. He wanted to erase that smirk he saw from Keir earlier but he will save that for another day. Right now, he's all thinking happy things like what Vester wanted.

They bought canvas and some significant materials for their painting agenda. He's enjoying it so far. They even found a perfect gazebo, near the edge of Aurum Park. It's peaceful and comforting.

They decided to go back to this place. At some point, Aurum Park reminds him of their first-ever date and it even witnessed their first-ever kiss one fateful night. Pavlo couldn't help but blush at the thought of it. He tried to look away but Vester happily reached for his chin.

"Anong iniisip mo ha?" Vester smirked. The younger is seated opposite to him.

"W-Wala." Finally, he manages to look away.

"Sus. Pasalamat ka cute ka."

He clears his throat as he set up his canvas. "Magsimula na nga lang tayo. Hindi ito matatapos kapag puro lang tayo landian."

Vester giggles. "Ito na nga. Magsisimula na. Sungit naman nito."

"Talaga bang masungit ako?" he asked curiously.

"Ay? Hindi mo alam?" Vester snorted, looking directly at him. "Joke lang pero yup! Sometimes, napaka-intimidating mo."

"Ohhh..." He actually didn't know how to comment on that so he just smiled sheepishly.

Vester crosses his arms. "Actually... I like that."

He blinked. "Hmmm? Why?"

"Kasi you are mean so kapag may manlalandi sa iyong iba, tatarayan mo lang sila," the younger remarked.

He chuckles. "Speaking on the experience, Sir?"

Vester laughs. "Uh-huh! Para kaya akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig no'ng tinarayan mo ako. My god. Nagising ako sa ilusyon ko. Nakakatakot ka pang maglagay ng smiley face. Feeling ko may halong lason."

He scrunched his nose. "Anong nakakatakot doon?"

"Ewan. Basta. Not to mention your tuldok," the younger added.

"Hala? It's just normal, Vester. It's so basic to put tuldok every time na mag-end na ang sentence mo," he explains, unaware that he sounded like his conyo younger sisters.

"Alam ko naman iyon pero kasi ang seryoso mo masyado," Vester pointed it out. "Hindi ko nga alam minsan kung nag-j-joke ka ba o naiinis na."

He laughs, shaking his head. "Sometimes, hindi ako aware but it is what it is. I am trying but maybe lumalabas talaga ang totoo kong kulay."

"Rainbow ba?" Vester teased.

He rolled his eyes. "Sus!"

The younger hums. "Kahit araw-araw ka pang magtaray, okay lang sa akin. Ang cute mo naman kasing magtaray pero kapag si Joseph ang magtataray, mukhang bakulaw."

"You're so selective," he jokes around.

"Totoo naman kasi."

"Bias ka lang kasi crush mo ako," Pavlo said proudly.

"Naman. Nakuha mo ako sa maangas look mo eh." Then Vester giggles.

He snorted, "Maangas na dugyot? Iba rin ang mga type mo ah... pero yeah, maangas naman talaga ako."

"Ay, hindi natin sure."

He raised a brow. "Try me."

The other grins, locking his eyes to his. "I like you so damn much that it hurts. Lumalala na. Gusto mo bang ipakilala na kita kay Mama?"
