I nodded, acknowledging his point, and he continued, "Rule number 2, our financial arrangements will be clearly outlined. We will maintain separate bank accounts and split any expenses related to our public appearances. There will be no mingling of personal finances." "Agreed," I replied.

"Rule number 3, we will respect each other's boundaries and privacy. This includes our personal lives, social circles, and living arrangements. We won't interfere in each other's affairs."

Rule number two: Kailangan may kape araw-araw. Rule number three: Walang manghuhusga sa volume ng boses ko.” Napahinto siya sa tapat ng pinto ko. “I’ll try.” “Good.”

"Hehe, Th- thank you.. hmmm… Ru-rule number two... Don't talk when your mouth is full by Red Gaizer Collins" "Wow naman! Excellent!" pagpupuri ni Red na may halong palakpak pa. Napangiti naman ang dalaga. "Sa-salamat... Ru-rule nu-number three... Don't shout when someone is sleeping by Sean Dwaythe Schawzrr" "Nice one!" "Hehe, Ru-rule number fo-four...
