Eugenie
Israel de la Torre!
We should talk.

Israel
Yes, baby?

Eugenie
Do NOT call me baby.
Sisipain kita kapag nagkita tayo!
Bakit pinagkakalat mo na tayo, ha?
Nakarating sa kapatid ko, and now my parents know as well! I'm screwed.

Israel
Woah, hang on.
Wala akong pinagkakalat na tayo.
Alam ko namang KKL ang setup natin.

Eugenie
KKL?

Israel
Kiss Kiss Lang.

Eugenie
Hindi ba MOMOL ang tawag do'n?
Make Out Make Out Lang?

Israel
Eh, overused.

Eugenie
🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
For the record, hindi tayo KKL.
Slightly flirting lang.

Israel
Slightly flirting?
Is that even a thing?

Eugenie
Yes, to me. Angal ka?
Alam mo, parang nagsisisi ako na ikaw pa ang ginamit ko to save face. Kung hindi lang talaga ako napahiya kay Brent...

Israel
'Yan naman ang hindi ko gets, Genie.
E ano naman kung nalaman ni Felipe na may gusto ka sa kanya? What's so wrong about that?

Eugenie
Adik ka ba? Brent Felipe is in a relationship with my cousin, who also happens to be my best friend! Of course it was embarrassing, him knowing that I fancy him!

Israel
I still think you're making it a bigger deal than it actually is. Kung ako kay Felipe, mafa-flatter pa ako.

Eugenie
'Wag mong itulad si Brent sa'yo.
His ego doesn't need constant feeding, unlike you.

Israel
Aray naman.
Ang sakit no'n, baby.

Eugenie
I told you to stop calling me that!

Israel
For someone who needed my favor, you sure are unpleasant to deal with, Ms. van Acker.

Eugenie
Don't talk as if you're not getting something out of this, too. I'm securing you a spot in our architectural firm after graduation, remember?

Israel
Yeah, like yours is the only company I could apply for. I could very well back out of this arrangement anytime I want to, Genie.

Eugenie
NO!!!
Come on, Israel. Maawa ka naman sa akin. Please don't leave me alone to deal with this mess. 😭

Israel
Sus, marunong ka naman palang makiusap nang maayos. Magkalandian tayo, tama ba? 'Yan ang gusto mong palabasin?

Eugenie
Yes, yes.
Kasi ayaw pa talaga ni Dad na magka-boyfriend ako. Kaya hanggang diyan muna. But at least, if Brent knows I actually have my eyes on someone else, things won't be so awkward anymore. Lagi ko pa naman siyang nakikita dahil kasama ko rin lagi si Rhi.

Israel
Tss. Women and your problems.
Pati akong nananahimik, nadadamay.
Do you realize people will raise brows at this setup? Remember, you hated me from the get-go. Magmumukha pa tayong sinungaling sa mga tao.

Eugenie
Do you actually care about your image, Israel de la Torre? That came as a surprise to me.

Israel
I couldn't care less about what other people think of me, Genie. But you obviously do. Kaya ka nga nanghihingi ng tulong sa akin ngayon.

Eugenie
Touché.

Israel
Eugenie van Acker, Ms. Goody Two Shoes, is suddenly flirting with Israel de la Torre, Campus Crush. 🤡

Eugenie
Campus Crush? More like, Campus Trash.

Israel
Harsh mo naman, baby.

Eugenie
You're really intent on calling me that, aren't you? 🙄

Israel
Pang-asar lang. Ang cute mo kasi kapag naiinis. 😁

Eugenie
'Wag kang maharot, Israel. Hindi mo ako madadala sa ganyan.

Israel
Wala pang babaeng hindi nadala sa kaharutan ko, Genie. 😉

Eugenie
Ganoon ba? Then I'll be the first.
That will teach you not to be so arrogant.

Israel
We'll see if you can live by those words.
Good night, baby. 😘
