"ERINA ISABEL TUAZON POV"I'm just heading in, Faye. I woke up late. My alarm didn’t go off this morning," I spoke into my phone as I unlocked the chain from my bicycle.I always secure my bike like this because I don’t trust the people in this neighborhood. There are a lot of snatchers here—especially thieves. My apartment has a gate, but I still have to be extra cautious.[Are you serious, Erina? It’s already noon! Your boss is definitely going to lecture you again. Hurry up! You know he gets to work early, yet you still couldn’t wake up on time.]I just laughed at what my friend said. She seemed more stressed about it than I was. It wasn’t my fault that my phone alarm didn’t go off—or maybe I was just too exhausted that's why I didn't hear it?"I'm hurrying, but this bike you gave me isn’t cooperating," I joked, and I heard Faye sigh deeply on the other end of the line.This bike was her gift to me on my birthday last year. It has been my only mode of transportation to work every d

None of us dared to speak. I wasn't looking at him, but I'm sure he was looking at me now. I didn't want to talk to him, but he asked Boss Yuki for permission, so I had no choice but to leave the counter and go to him. But until now, we still haven't acknowledged each other and he hasn't started talking yet. As if I'm going to talk to him. Over my dead body! But I looked at him when he placed something in front of me. An envelope, and I know it's filled with money. "Take it, it will help with your daily expenses," he said, and suddenly, my mood shifted. He did this last week too. He handed me money, but I refused to take it. My brother never learns. He knows I won't accept it and that he won't get anything from me, yet he keeps coming here and trying to give me money. "We're just going in circles, Kuya. Aren't you tired of this?" I said in frustration, crossing my arms. "No, I'm not." "Then why?" "Because you're my sister!" Sister, my ass! I suddenly smiled bitter

"Sit down first…" I said as I slowly guided him to sit on the small sofa.I immediately let out a breath once he was seated, but I made sure not to let him notice. He was tall, big body, and well-built—completely different from my physique. It felt like I had just carried a sack of rice because of how heavy he was. Not that I was complaining, I was just exhausted from helping him get here to my apartment.Yes, to my apartment because he refused to be taken to the hospital. I insisted, especially since he had a wound on his forehead that needed to be treated by a doctor. But he was adamant about not going and insisted that I bring him to my place instead. I had no choice but to agree. I couldn’t just leave him alone, or I’d be the one to blame if something worse happened to him."I’ll just get my first-aid kit," I informed him before heading straight to my room."Tss, why did you even bring him here, Erina?" I muttered to myself in frustration. I was talking to myself again out of shee
