MARX  There is nothing you can do when your heart decides who to love. I remember my professor in Psychology say this. For once, I have believed that this quote is a positive thing. But when I finally knew about Kristoff’s feelings, I realized that I am losing in this.I love him.He doesn’t love me.I care for him.I don’t know if what he is doing is caring for me.He does things now that he doesn’t usually do for me before. I don’t exactly know if this is an improving affection but I can see that he is starting to change.Bit by bit.I just hope it’s for the best. Because it is hurting me too much, I can’t seem to handle anymore.I walked out of my room today, prepared to go to the office. I am planning to skip breakfast because I know how awkwardly I will act in front of Kristoff after that hug last night.Come to think of it, I did r

COMPARISON  Kristoff, Hunter and I entered the elevator. I don’t know why but I think there is an awkward atmosphere in the elevator. No. I think there really is. I could feel it radiating from the three of us.And you know what’s worse? Kristoff’ arm is wrapped around me and I can contain all my emotions. I am dying inside. I don’t know why but he seemed to be a bit protective of me in front of Hunter. It is weird. But is a good weird.This is the first time I have ever saw him come this close to me for the longest time.Hunter Looney, on the other hand, is really quiet. This is one of the rarest times that I will see him shut up and not pester me.Should I bring Kristoff all the time for him to stop bothering me?But then again, that would be hard on my part.“Wow. Hunter, you’re quiet,” I started to tease him as I looked at him.Okay, let me do thi

HIS FEELINGS  “Okay. That’s all for today,” I told my employees as I closed the folder and ended the presentation I have been preparing for the past few weeks.The fashion show is just a day away and I am glad that everything is going well.I smiled at Min who waited for me at the door.“Congrats, Shan. You did it!” She beamed as I stopped in front of her. “Finally! Tomorrow, all your hard works will pay off!” She beamed excitedly.I chuckled and nodded. “It’s not just me though. It’s all of our hard works,” I replied. “We should all celebrate after the show!” I beamed as Min and I started jumping up and down in the office like we are some crazy fan girls going insane over the long-awaited comeback of Block V.We just stopped jumping when we felt really tired.“Okay. Let’s stop, I’m tired,” I said as we both

HANDSOME  My world stopped the moment Kristoff’s lips landed on mine. I don’t know what to react. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what this means. I don’t know why he is doing this.What is he trying to prove?Kristoff eventually pulled away from me but his eyes were locked on mine. It’s as if he is going to tell me something. But he couldn’t say it in words.I snapped out of my thoughts. I can’t let my guards down at this moment. I can’t lose my sanity right now. Not with a kiss.Not with that kiss.Somehow, he must’ve noticed that I am thinking about what he is thinking, because, then, his hand slid to my hand, interlacing each of his fingers on mine.I bit my lip as I tried to suppress this growing feeling in me. All these emotions, I can’t contain each and every single one of them anymore.I stared at our hands bef

GOOD STRANGE   I want to be in your fashion show right now. I almost choked on my husband’s text for me. What is he trying to do again? Why is he like this all of a sudden?I started to focus on the ramp again as I know my face is red now. Holy shizzles, with just that text, I don’t know what my heart is feeling right now.My mom nudged me. “Your husband texted us. He said he will pick you up after the fashion show for a celebratory dinner for you.” She smiled teasingly. “When did you two start to have dinner this way, honeybunch?” she asked med.I automatically blushed. “I don’t know, Mom,” I replied.One day, I woke up and Kristoff’s actions had become more vulgar—like he does seem to care so much for me.My parents smiled at me while Kris’ just gave me encouraging looks. I smiled back and exhaled deeply as I turned my attention

DAD  Kristoff kissed me! I can’t even count how many kisses he has given me since this morning. I can do nothing but just sigh. Sigh in happiness and content. I like this feeling very much.Well, who wouldn’t like this feeling? The person I loved all these years loves me back. Isn’t that a good feeling?Maybe not.Because it is the best feeling ever.Who would expect someone who you thought has never laid his eyes on you to be crushing on you all this time?So, we were feeling mutual feelings for each other all these times.

LITTLE MISS INSECURE   I ran as fast as I could. I don’t want to talk to anyone. Especially not to Dad. Especially not to Kristoff.How could they do this to me? How could dad hide this thing from me?

Because all that is in my mind is how they betrayed me.Bianca Lee. Of all people, why must it be her?She is everything I will never be. I am nothing compared to her. She is Kristoff’s ideal type. She is a goddess and they have history. She is the owner of Jewel Shoppe where everyone looks up to.I shut my eyes as I hailed a cab.All of these insecurities are setting in.

SORRY, NOT SORRY  “Are you sure you can eat all these?” I asked Hunter who led me to an Italian restaurant near the forbidden park and ordered foods good for eight people.I looked at him in disbelief and shock. How could he order a lot of same dishes? I mean, they are all pasta and pizza. How could he eat all these?He just gave me a grin and started attacking the food.I sat there, watched him, stunned. Oh yes, he is eating well, eating really, really, well. What can I say?“Are celebrities supposed to eat a lot? Aren’t you conscious of your image and appearance?” I asked him, still not starting to eat.He looked at me while he was plopping the spaghetti in his mouth. He tried to respond but I didn’t understand because his mouth is full.I handed him the iced tea. It was bottomless as well. What will my bill be? How much will it be? It seems like I have to work harder on

ZOMBIE  Kristoff continuously knocked on my door since the moment I entered and banged the door in front of his face.“Ashanti! Open up, please?”I ignored him.“Please! Baby, at least let me explain!”I rolled my eyes and went to the toilet to shower and prepare myself for the congratulatory dinner. What was there to explain anyway? It is clear that they had betrayed me. They kept that freaking secret from me and now I am torn because it hurts so much.Perhaps, it’s true that it is hard to forgive the persons close to you. Well, it is harder than those strangers who bump into you on the way.I felt like I was eaten by my whole being. I didn’t even know what happened. All I know is that I can’t talk to any of them right now.Dad and Kristoff.No. Definitely not.I don’t know when I would be ready to talk to them because I don’t know i
