Chapter 15: Epilogue
"I love you..... my sweetest thing."
Seungcheol's POV
"Are you sure you don't want to attend?" I just give him a glance.
"I'd rather choose to be with her." I answered.
"Nalulungkot ako para sayo."
"Please don't be. I'm happy."
"Cheolie...."
"I'm fine Hannie."
"Hayy...... just text me if you need anything." he said.
"Don't worry. I'm going to be alright. Just enjoy the ball with Antonette. Spend you night with her." I said.
"Then, should I say, enjoy your night with her too?" I just chuckled.
"I will."
―--―-―--―
"Hi Gem, it's been a while." I said while staring at her tombstone where her name was written.
I flew here at Pangasinan to spend my night with her. Although she's not here physically. They're already having their night on our school's masquerade ball. And so I was here. To my date.
Binuksan ko ang garapong hawak-hawak ko. Dinukot ko rito ang isang piraso ng papel.
"Gusto kong..... makasayaw si Cheol." basa ko rito. Unti-unti..... ay muling tumulo ang mga luha ko.
"I thought, I already coped with your loss Gem. But still....... I still missing you." sabi ko kasabay ng mga paghikbi ko.
But I manage to smile.
"Maybe it's too late Gem but..... may I have this dance?" tumayo ako saka isinuot ang coat ko. Inilabas ko rin ang isang pirasong rosas na dala ko.

I just close my eyes as I looked up in sky. I'm dancing under the brightest full moon and shining stars. I moved my feet and started to dance as if I have a partner. I just....... go with the wind, together with my tears continuously flowing.
I opened my eyes and for some reason, I think have seen Gem. And so I smile. I looked again at the moon.
"Do you see me Gem? Did I fulfilled your wish? Eventhough you're not here?" after I said that, I just felt a cold embrace of the wind. I'm pretty sure it's her. For the last time, I closed my eyes and imagine that she's here.

Kinuha ko ulit ang garapong kanina ay hawak hawak ko. Dito ay dinukot ko ang natitirang papel sa loob nito.
"Kahit imposible..... gusto ko parin na magkapamilya, magkaasawa. Sana si Cheol yun." basa ko rito.
"This is...... really impossible. I'm sorry Gem, I failed. I can't fulfill your last wish. Because you're already gone. You left me with this unfinished wish, that will never be come true." I said and cuddled the jar.
"But still..... I'm going to love you. Till the end. Till we meet again.
"I love you....... my sweetest thing."

Jeonghan's POV
*Click*
"Busy?" agad naman siyang napalingon.
"Ah, oo. Maraming nagpapapicture." sabi niya saka tumingin sa paligid.
"Ang gaganda nila noh?" napatingin naman ako sa tinutukoy niya.
"Sino?"
"Sila, yung mga schoolmate mo. Alam mo, hindi ko pa naranasan na magprom. Kasi nga diba, hindi ako nakapagtapos." napatango-tango naman ako.
"You're more beautifil than them." napalingon naman siya. Then she chuckled
"Bolero." we both smile after that. And then I saw Mylene in the corner together with the other girls waiting from my signal. And so I give an okay sign.
"Oh? Mylene. T-teka, huy! San niyo ko dadalhin." she asked while Shane and Mylene carefully dragging her.
"Jeonghan?"
"Don't worry we have a surprise." I said and kissed her forehead.
―--―--―--―
I patiently wait for them in our table but my eyes are looking at the direction of the girls C. R.
"Hyung... relax lang. Parang lumilindol yung lamesa kaka galaw niyang binti mo." -Hoshi
"Ba't ang tagal nila?" I asked.
"Syempre hyung. Maraming proseso pa ang pagdadaanan ni Antonette noh. Alam mo naman yung mga girlfriend namin, lalo na si Shane. Wag ka mag-alala hyung. Baka mamaya hindi mo na siya makilala." -Mingyu.
"I second the motion." -Wonwoo
"I-" magsasalita na sana si Dk nang salpakan siya ni Joshua ng shanghai sa bunganga.
"Shatapp." -Joshua
We all just laugh but something caught my attention.

There she is. Wearing a silver ball gown.
"Hyung! Galaw galaw." I go back to reality when Dk gently hit me.
I stood up and walk near to her.
"You're beautiful." I said
"T-thanks?" I just chuckled.
"May I have this dance?" I asked.
"Sure."
I guide her to the dance floor. And also our friends follow us.
"I love your gown. It suits you." I said
"Ang gwapo mo rin sa suot mo."
"Bagay tayo." I jokingly said. But it's not a joke tho.
She just laugh at me. We just share the moment dancing together.

"I just can't believe that it's really happening to me." biglang sabi ko
"Ang alin."
"This. That you're infront of me. That I'm dancing with my destiny."
"You really knew that I'm your destiny?"
"I'm pretty sure it's you."
"Pano mo nasabi?" I just smile and held her hand and placed it to my chest. Where she could even feel my heartbeat.
"Just feel how fast it pounds. It's the answer." I said. She just smile at me. And so I give her my smile too.
"I love you...... my sweetest thing."
Joshua's POV
"Ang sweet nila noh?" she said referring to Jeonghan and Antonette.
"Tayo rin naman ah." I said.
"Wala pang tayo." she said and then I pouted.
"Ayaw pa kasi ako sagutin." I complained and continuously move as we're dancing in the dancefloor.
"Nagmamadali ka?"
"Hindi."
"Hindi naman pala eh."
"Bakit ba ayaw mo pa ko sagutin?"
"Akala ko ba hindi ka nagmamadali?"
"Nagtatanong lang." I said and pouted again.
"Cute mo."
"Matagal na." I said.
"Hangin." sumimangot agad ako.
We just continue on dancing romantically. Kahit hindi niya pa ako sinasagot, handa akong maghintay. Kasi alam kong siya na.
"Shua..." I looked straight into her eyes as she calls me.
"Hmm?"
"Bakit mo ko nagustuhan?"
"I just played along with destiny. Nakipaglaro ako sa kanya gaya ng paglalaro niya satin. Remember the bracelet. In the music room. That music room is the witness. There we could bring back our memories." I answered and she smiles.
"And one more thing." I said.
"What is it?"
"I think it's you. You're the one."
Baby it's You Woo

I hug her after I said that.
"Sinasagot na kita." she said in between our hug. I just hug her even more tigh--wait? What?
"Anong sabi mo?" I asked and hold her both shoulder.
"Sinasagot na kita."
"Totoo?" I asked again and she nodded.
"Whaaaaa!! Tayo na--Kami na! Kami na! DOKYEOM! SINAGOT NIY--"
"Hey! Stop. Ano ba nakakahiya." she said while covering my mouth.
"Sorry. Totoo nga?"
"Oo nga. Ayaw mo?"
"No! Of course I want! Thank you. I love you." I said and hug her tight.
I end up the hug and kissed her forehead.
"I promise to be the best boyfriend for you. And I do promise that I will love no one but you. Always be you"
Cuz it's You Woo
Always You Woo

"I love you...... my sweetest thing."
Jun's POV
"Sinagot na din sa wakas." I said and Kiane just laugh.
"Gaano na ba katagal nanliligaw si Joshua kay Faith?"
"Almost a year na din." sagot ko.
"Wow. Ang tiyaga niya ah."
"Parang tinamaan naman ako. Hindi kasi ako naging matiyaga sayo. Nasaktan pa kita." I said and hold her waist more tighter.
"Oh? Ba't nagdrama ka na? Wala naman akong sinasabi."
"I just feel guilty. Remembering those hurtful words you've heared from me."
"But then those hurtful words change and become words that really made me fluttered."
"Change?"
"Mm. Yes, you hurted me from saying that you only want me to be your girlfriend because I'm already pretty but you change it right? You want me to comeback to my old self and you, you're going to change and going to be mine starting that day." she said. I smiled after hearing those words from her.
"That's because I love you." I said.
"Then I love you too. And it will never change. You will always be my precious thing."
"You'll always be my sweetest thing." I said and give a peck on her lips.
Oh now I know that

Hoshi's POV
"You look beautiful." I said to her while we're dancing slowly.
"You look handsome." She said and smiled
"Hindi parin nagbabago yung ngiti mo, ang ganda parin. You always give me the best smile you have. And that makes me more inloved with you."
She just smiled at me and we continue moving.
"I'm happy for them." she said.
"Who?"
"Jeonghan and Antonette."
"You still like him."
"Ano namang tanong yan? I adore him but, you're the one I love."
"Akala ko talo na naman ako."
"How could you lost if you already have the prize? My love." after she said that, I hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"I love you."
"I love you too...... my sweetest thing."
Oh now I know that
You're the SWEETEST THING

"As you are my king." she said and winked at me. I just hold her waist even tighter as we moved while the song continues to play

"Remember our first met?" I asked
"Our first fight." she said and chuckled.
"Ikaw nag-umpisa."
"Ako naman kasi talagang unang nakakuha nung chip."
"Pag-aawayan pa natin yan?" I asked while laughing gently.
"But you know what does that mean?" I gave him a confused look.
"Love at first fight." she said
"Corny." I said but she hit me.
"As if naman hindi ka talaga nagandahan sakin."
"Not at that time." I said and she just glared at me.
"Fine, fine, I admit. I get stunned through your beauty. Especially when you take off your white polo and you're just weari--"
"You find me hot?"
"Yes--ahh, no! I mean.... yes, but not the way you think. I just..... find you cool."
"Too defensive." she just laugh after that.
"Why we keep on remembering the past?"
"Oh? Ikaw nauna. Ba't sakin ka nagagalit?" I just deep a sigh.
"You know, no matter what past do we have, nothing will change in the present, I'll still dream you to be my future." she said and hooked her arms to my nape.
I kissed her forehead then.
"I don't know what happened to me. You change me. You really does. But..... that's the best change I ever had. I change because of you, I change for you, and let me tell you this, I may not change the past but I'll do change the present and coming tomorrows just to give the best future for you."
"I love you."
"I love you..... my sweetest thing."
Woozi's POV
"Sana pala di nalang ako nagtakong."
"Why?" I asked
"Di mo ko abot eh." I just gave him a glare.
"Joke lang. Ano ba? Parang wala ka sa mood? Upo nalang ulit tayo."
"Is that ok?" I asked and she nods. I guide him as we sit again. We're just watching our friends while dancing.
"Ang sweet nila noh. Sayang di kayo kumpleto." she said while looking at them
I know Seungcheol hyung is now with the girl he loves. Sadly, he's there but his lover wasn't. Seungkwan, choosed not to attend and have a date with Justine since she's still in highschool. While Dino, also have his date with his girl.
"Si Astrid? Ano nang balita sa kanya?" I suddenly looked at her.
"Why are you interested?"
"Nagtatanong lang. Simula nung naging tayo ulit, hindi ko na siya nakita."
"And you'll never see her again."
"Nasaan na ba siya?"
"Somewhere far from us."
"Ang harsh mo sa kanya."
"I'm just telling the truth. And please, stop asking about her. She's now a piece of past, that shouldn't remember anymore." I said and hold her hand
"You're now my present and soon to be my future. I don't want anyone to ruin that. You, you're mine and me, I'm yours."
"I love you langgam."
"Stop calling me that."
"Walang I love you too?" I just glared at her, but I still managed to smile
"I love you.... my sweetest thing."

Minghao's POV
"The atmospher is good."
"It is?" she just nodded
"You look pretty." I said
"Ikaw rin. Ang gwapo mo." we just continue moving slowly. I'm just staring right at her eyes.
"Thank you." I suddenly said.
"For what?"
"For not giving up on me. I hurted you once but you still like me."
"Correction, it's love." she said then I chuckled.
"Before this year ends, we'll going to be a married couple. I'm going to be your husband and you're going to be my wife."
"Also a parent, to our child." I almost forgot to breathe.
"Y-you're....--"
"I am." my hands suddenly got trembling. I even felt tears ran out from my eyes.
I'm going to be a father!
I cupped her face and kissed her forehead.
"I'm going to be a father?" I asked again and she nodded while tears also flowing through her face.
I wiped it away and hug her.
Cuz it's You Woo

"I love you, I love you. I promise to take care of you and our child." I said in between the hug
"I love you too."
I can't explain how happy I am right now. I was too lucky to have her and now, we're going to have our first child. They're already my precious thing, my sweetest thing
"I love you....... my sweetest thing."
Mingyu's POV
"Anyare kay Minghao?" lumingon rin ako sa tinitingnan niya. Minghao is drowning to his tears but you can see happiness through his eyes.
"Mukha namang tears of joy yun. Baka may good news si Hayah sa kanya.
"Gaya ng?"
"Buntis siya?
She suddenly covers her mouth. I just laugh at her.
"Seryoso?"
"Nahuli ko siya nung isang araw, vomiting. Tapos ayaw niya pa nun ipasabi kay Minghao at ayun! Ako ang napagtripan na maghanap ng mga pinaglilihian niya." sabi ko saka kinamot ang batok ko
"Talaga? Hahaha ang cute mo siguro non."
"Cute ba yung umakyat sa puno ng mangga? Mukha akong kapre."
"Gwapong kapre." sabi niya kaya napatigil ako. Mas hinigpitan ko lalo ang hawak sa beywang niya.
"Ikaw? Kelan mo gusto magkababy?"
"Gyu!"
"Joke lang. Nagtatanong lang eh."
"Masaya ako para sa kanila." sabi niya saka tumingin ulit sa kanila.
"Ako rin masaya. Kasi kasama kita." sabi ko dahilan para lumipat ang atensyon niya sa akin.
She just smiled and put her arms around my neck as we continue dancing slowly

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" I asked
"You don't need to tell, I can feel." I kissed her forehead when she said that.
If I'm a meal, I'm already complete now, because she's there. I know, she's the sweetest recipe of me.
"I love you..... my sweetest thing."
Dk's POV
"Ang ganda mo ngayon." sabi ko
"Ngayon lang?"
"Araw araw pala, lagi kang maganda." sabi ko saka ngumiti.
"Pagod ka na ba sumayaw?" tanong ko
"Medyo. Kain nalang tayo." natawa naman ako. Yun din kasi ang gusto kong gawin.
"Tara, ako na kukuha ng pagkain mo."
"Hindi na dalawa na tayo." sabi niya saka hinila na ako.
"Ayan. Eto pa. Akin na yang plato mo, eto pa."
"Teka, ang dami naman. Tama na." awat ko sa kanya. Masyado na siyang maraming nalagay sa plato ko. Naghalo-halo na lahat ng putahe.
"Sus, kunwari ka pa, kulang pa nga yan sayo." napakamot nalang ako ng batok dahil sa sinabi niya.
"Hindi naman, grabe ka." tinawanan niya naman ako
"Wag ka mag-alala, kumain lang tayo nang kumain. Hahah." napangiti nalang ako. Nilingon ko ang mga kaibigan ko. Lahat sila kasayaw ang mga mahal nila. Samantalang ako, eto, kasama rin naman ang mahal ko, sa kainan.
Wala sa sarili akong napangiti. Atleast may sarili kaming relationship goals. Ang kumain. Natawa nalang ako sa sarili kong iniisip. Muli akong tumingin sa kasama kong abala sa pagkuha ng pagkain. Wala sa sarili akong napangiti.

"Oh? Nakatingin ka lang? Kain." sabi niya
Ngumiti lang ako sa kanya saka kinuha ang kutsara niya at sumandok sa pagkain niya.
"Susubuan kita." wala sa sarili naman siya napangiti. Inilapit ko sa bibig niya ang kutsara pero bago pa man niya isubo ay hinalikan ko na siya.
Hindi naman siya nakareact agad. Binigyan ko lang siya ng abot tengang ngiti.
"Magnanakaw." sabi niya saka mahinang tumawa.
"I love you." sabi ko
"I love you too."
"I love you ulit."
"I love you too ulit."
"I love you pa."
"Dk?" sabi niya saka mahinang tumawa.
"Last na.... I love you...... my sweetest thing."
Seungkwan's POV
"You said we're having a date?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"We are." sagot niya saka nginitian ako.
Inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa lugar kung nasaan kami ngayon
"B-but..... we're on the cementery."
"I know, we're going to have a date, with Jasmine."
"Babe...."
"Why? Alam kong ito ang gusto mo. Let's go?" she said and hold my hand. I just hold it tight.
"Good day Jas, how are you?" bungad niya nang maupo na kami sa tapat ng puntod ni Jasmine
"I know she's happy." I said
"Is she? Kahit na ako mismo na kambal niya, minahal rin yung lalaking mahal niya?"
"Babe, I know she'll understand."
"I'm sorry Jas, for being selfish, for pretending to be you para lang mahalin din ako ng lalaking mahal mo." and by that, her tears started to fall.
"Hindi siya galit sayo, I know you're already forgiven."
"And to you also, I'm sorry again Seungkwan." I wiped her tears as she looked at me.
"You're forgiven." I said and kissed her forehead. She just smile at me.
Inilipat ko ang atensyon sa puntod ni Jasmine.
"Jah, I know you're happy now, don't worry, I'm going to take care of your twin. I will make her feel that she's the one I love and not just using her to be you, because Jah, I already love her, so I'm not going to hurt her anymore." I said and look at Justine and kissed her hand.
"Jah, please guide as ok? I know you're watching us. I love you, we love you." Justine leaned on my shoulder as we both stare at her tombstone.
"Babe?" she whispered
"Hmm?"
"I love you." I smiled and faced her. I cupped her face and kissed her lips.

Vernon's POV
"I'm happy that you're here." I said
"Thanks to Minghao, he invited me as a guest. But, I have to choose the prom king and queen." I just laugh at her when she pouted
"You're cute."
"I am?" she said and do puppy eyes. So I gently laugh.
"Yes you are."
"Mmmm. Namomroblema ako! Sino naman kaya yung gagawin kong king and queen for this night?"
"Doesn't you have anyone to be a candidate?"
"I want Jeonghan and Antonette. But..... Antonette is not a student here either."
"Don't you think it'll be fun if you're not going to choose those partners already? Pick a king and a different queen."
"You think it would be great?"
"I think so."
―--―--―--―
"To announce the King amd Queen for this night, may I call on Ms. Irish Galiego." we gave a round of applause as she stepped on the stage. If she could be the Ball Queen then I'd be her King.
I just laugh upon my imagination.
"For our Prom King, we have....... Mr. Wen Junhui."
As he heard his name, he proceeded on the stage and accept the sash and the crown.
"For his Queen, we have........... Ms, Shane Adona."
All of our friend shocked when heard Shane's name.
"Ba't ako?" Shane surprisingly asked. I just laugh at her.
"Sisihin niyo yan oh! Narinig ko sila kanina ni Irish nag-uusap."
"Dk!" I yelled
"Si Shane talaga?" Wonwoo said and so I laughed.
"Chill, title lang naman yun HAHAHA." Shua hyung said.
The King and Queen must have their dances but after the first song, Jun went to Kiane and asked her for a dance and so Wonwoo also proceed to the dance floor to dance with Shane.
I stood up and walk towards Irish on the stage.
"May I have this last dance?" I asked. She just smile first and held my hand
We proceeded in the dance floor. I smiled while we're moving slowly together with the song.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." she suddenly said.
"No need, It's my choice to wait. And I did the right choice isn't? You've came." I said.
"Thank you. I love you."
"I love you too." I said and kissed her forehead.
I remember how hurt I am, every time she rounds back to Dan. But now, I'm already healed. And it's because of her. Because I wait for her. I am right, my choice was right. It's worth to wait the person you think is the one. I know she's the one. She's my everything, my sweetest thing.
Oh now I know that
You're the SWEETEST THING

"I love you...... my sweetest thing."
Dino's POV
"Look at the moon, it's so bright." I said as I looked at the full moon.
"Ang ganda." she said amazingly.
"As you." napatingin naman siya sa akin saka ngumiti. Isinandal niya ang ulo niya sa balikat ko at sabay kaming tumingin sa kalangitan.
"May Prom kayo diba? Bakit hindi ka umattend?"
"Nandito yung date ko." sagot ko
"You should've attend that. Minsan lang yun sa buhay ng isang estudyante."
"Wala rin naman akong gagawin dun. Lahat sila may lovelife ako wala." she just laugh.
We just covered with silence, we're both looking at the sky.
"Dino?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to love me till the end?" I faced her when I heard her question.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I will."
"I'm just wondering, paano kung marealize mo na hindi ka pala para sa akin."
"What? It will never be happened. I'm yours and no one can change that."
"Paano kung makakita ka ng mas bata at mas karapat-dapat para sayo?"
"Then I will close my eyes, at didilat lang ako pag ikaw na yung kaharap ko."
After that, I hugged her.
"Please don't ask those kind of question again. Ayokong magduda ka sa pagmamahal ko sayo. Please trust me ok?"
"I just can't help. Reality was hitting me. About our age. That I was older than you. And there's a lot of younger women out there that could possibly get your attention." I faced her once again.
"They can get my attention, but not my love, because it already belongs to you. Just please don't think too much. Tonight, it's just all about you, and me." I said and finally sealed her lips with mine, with all my love to prove her that she is the one I love, she is my everything, she is my sweetest thing.
Oh now I know that
You're my everything
