The next morning, you sat in BINI's dorm living room, surrounded by the members—who all looked like they were attending the tea party of the century.
So, let me get this straight, -Maloi said, arms crossed.
Ikaw ang laging sinusuyo ni Jhoanna... -She added
You nodded, embarrassed.
...pero ngayon, ikaw ang dapat manuyo kasi 'di mo nasabi sa kanya na may laplapan ka pala sa movie mo—na hindi mo rin alam? -She asked
You nodded again.
Sheena sighed dramatically.
Oof. That's rough. -Sheena said
Aiah smirked.
Welcome to our world. Kami rin minsan nahihirapan suyuin si Leader-nim. -Aiah said
Pero effective pa rin. -Stacey grinned.
Lalo na kapag pagkain 'yung offering. -She added
Or kapag 'sorry' na may kasamang effort, -Gwen added.
Or kapag... -Colet tapped her chin, glancing at the others.
May grand gesture. -She added
You blinked.
Wait, grand gesture? Kailangan ba talaga 'yun? -You asked
Mikha snorted.
Uh, duh. Lalo na ngayon. Ang bigat ng sitwasyon. -Mikha said
You sighed, rubbing your temples.
Okay... any ideas? -You asked
The girls exchanged glances before all turning to Maloi.
She grinned.
Leave it to us. -Maloi said

Step 1: Pagkain = Weakness
Jhoanna had been avoiding you all day, which was impressive considering you literally spent most of your free time together.
So, naturally, you went with the first plan—her favorite food.
You personally cooked Jhoanna's favorite pasta and ordered milk tea, making sure to include all her preferred add-ons. You waited outside the BINI practice room, holding the food like an awkward suitor on Valentine's Day.
When Jhoanna stepped out, her eyes immediately landed on you—then the food.
For a split second, you saw her resolve waver.
But then she side-eyed you and walked past without a word.
Ouch, -Sheena whispered from the hallway, where she and the other girls were lowkey spying.
First attempt: fail, -Stacey muttered.
You sighed.
Next plan? -You asked

Step 2: The Cheesy Love Letter
Aiah and Colet forced you to write an old-school love letter.
Dapat heartfelt, -Colet instructed.
Dapat poetic, -Gwen added.
Dapat may drawing, -Mikha smirked.
...Drawing ng ano? -You asked
Ewan. Basta effort. -She replied
You spent nearly an hour writing the cheesiest, most heartfelt letter you could. You slid it under Jhoanna's door before she could see you.
Part of the Script -Jhoanna
