Chapter 6
Eric's POV
While I was driving, tumingin ako sa rear view mirror and I smiled to see the two precious ladies in my life, aside from mom of course. I'm happy that they get along and having chit chat. You see, si Yen lang ang approved ni Princess sa dami ng naging girlfriend ko dati. Matagal ko nang girlfriend si Yen, nagkakilala kami sa korea dahil sa mga common friends namin at the same time schoolmates kami and classmates sa ibang subjects kaya yung panunukso ng mga kaibigan namin ei nagbunga kasi nadevelop kami sa isa't isa. I'm lucky to have her in my life and I can't imagine my life without her by my side. Ang corny nouh? pero ganyan talaga kapag in love ka at mahal na mahal mo ung tao. Kaya sana dumating na din yung lalaking makakapagpatibok ulit ng puso ni Princess.
I know what happened to her and the reason why she's acting the way she is right now. She's pretending to be a tough girl but I know her like the back of my hand, she's a bubbly, lovely and fragile girl. She's also kind and responsible. She was so young when she experienced her first heartbreak, she was so devastated that she locked herself in her bedroom for two days before she decided to fly to Singapore and start a new life there.
As her older brother, it pains me to know that she's hurt, I was also mad because she's so young to experience that kind of pain, she doesn't deserve it. I want to punch that jerk in the face but I also understand that she'll experience that kind of thing, it's inevitable. Everyone of us learned to love, enter a relationship, experience heartbreak and learn to love again. I was just mad because it's to early and she's so young, I'm sure she's not ready for that kind of thing. But let's just forget about that and move on, it's been 10 years.
Now, I am happy that she moved on and she's happy but I'll be happier if my bubbly sister came back the way she was. The sweet little girl that everyone adores.

Eun's POV
While on our way to tagaytay nag uusap lang kami ni yen unnie, catching up with each other kasi matagal din nung huling nagkakwentuhan at via skype pa un kasi nga nasa Singapore ako at sila sa Korea. Sa ngayon pinag uusapan namin yung tungkol sa lovelife nila ni oppa and mind you, sometimes naiinggit ako kasi ang tatag nilang dalawa haixzt kelan kaya darating ung "the one" ko
"So ate gaano na nga kayo katagal ni kuya?" Tanong ko
"8 years and 8 months na kmi, antagal na nouh? Parang dati lang hindi kami nagkikibuan kasi nagkakahiyaan pa sa barkada tapos ngayon namjachingoo ko na xa"sagot nia
"Ei paano nga ba kayo nadevelop na dalawa? Ei dati naman inaasar lang kayong dalawa kasi nga parehas kayong mahiyain sabi nga nina kuya renz sakin dati pag inaasar daw nila kayo parehas kayong namumula" sabi ko sabay dantay ng ulo ko sa balikat niya, inaantok kasi ako alam niu naman may jetlag pa at medyo pagod pa ako hindi pa ako nakakapagpahinga ng maayos kahit natulog na kami kagabi. I'm also not a morning person but we woke up early today to avoid the heavy traffic, especially Tagaytay is like 5 hours away from our place.

Yen's POV
"Ganito kasi yun, we knew each other since high school although we are not close but we are in the same circle of friends, so there are times that we spend time outside the school with our friends at aside sa mga kabaliwan nilang ginawa as matchmaker naming dalawa ei magkaparehas kami ng school na pinasukan nung college at same department too. May mga subjects na naging classmate ko ang kuya mo at may mga time na kapartner ko siya sa project o kagrupo sa mga activities. Mas napadalas din ung time na siya ang nakakasama ko kaya kami mas nadedevelop sa isa't isa" sagot ko sabay harap kay Eun pero pagtingin ko nakapikit na ang mata, siguro pagod na pagod talaga siya kasi kararating niya lang kahapon ng umaga tapos nagparty pa kasama ang barkada niya, kahit ako pagod din sa byahe kaya nagdecide kami ni jagiya na pumunta sa tagaytay at magstay muna sa LY Hotel doon mamaya pagdating at paggising na lang kami mamamasyal to stroll around the city and see the beautiful tourist spots at bukas na lang din namin susubukan yung mga adventurous activities na meron dun
" Hon nakatulog na si Princess dahil sa pagod, bukas na lang tayo mag horseback riding, mamasyal na lang tayo sa mga tourist spots pero magpahinga muna tayo sa hotel pagdating tapos pag energize na ulit tsaka tayo magstroll, ok? ?" Sabi ko kay Eric
"Yes Hon tsaka para makakain na din tayo kasi hindi pa tayo nagla-lunch" agree niya
"Hmm Hon magpull over tayo pag may madaanan tayong mall, bili tau ng mga gagamitin natin at supplies natin habang nandito tayo sa tagaytay ok? Wala pa naman tayong naprepare pati na rin gamit ni Princess. We need extra clothes, personal necessities and some snacks just in case we get hungry on the road or in the hotel" dagdag ko kasi nga ilang araw din kami magbobonding dito para makapagrelax na din
"Sige Hon, magpahinga ka na din muna, gigisingin ko na lang kayo pag nasa mall na tayo ok?" Sabi nia
" ok hon thanks, sarangheayo jagiya" sabi ko
"Nado nuhrul sarangheayo" that was the last word I heard before I drifted to sleep too.

Eric's POV
Since they are sleeping and I was driving, I decided to turn on the stereo to listen some music, loud enough to keep me awake but soft enough so it won't disturb the sleeping princess and my queen at the back seat. I want to be entertain and stay awake to avoid accident but I also don't want to disturb their sleep. I know that they need to recharge for later activities.
Way Back Home by SHAUN (english translation)
"I look for you who fell asleep in the stopped time
멈춘 시간 속 잠든 너를 찾아가
No matter how much you block it, it's finally your side
아무리 막아도 결국 너의 곁인 걸
After a long and long journey, I go back now
길고 긴 여행을 끝내 이젠 돌아가
The way back home
너라는 집으로 지금 다시 way back home
No matter how hard you close it, it's like a re-opened drawer.
아무리 힘껏 닫아도 다시 열린 서랍 같아
You flying high to the sky keep coming back to me
하늘로 높이 날린 넌 자꾸 내게 되돌아와
Even the parting that I swallowed hard is the same oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
힘들게 삼킨 이별도 다 그대로인 걸 oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
On the road I left countless times, I found you
수없이 떠난 길 위에서 난 너를 발견하고
The heart I tried to empty is filled with you like this
비우려 했던 맘은 또 이렇게 너로 차올라
At the end of my steps, you always bump
발걸음의 끝에 늘 니가 부딪혀
Stop stop
그만 그만
I look for you who fell asleep in the stopped time
멈춘 시간 속 잠든 너를 찾아가
No matter how much you block it, it's finally your side
아무리 막아도 결국 너의 곁인 걸
After a long and long journey, I go back now
길고 긴 여행을 끝내 이젠 돌아가
The way back home
너라는 집으로 지금 다시 way back home
Quietly open the sleeping room and take out your memories
조용히 잠든 방을 열어 기억을 꺼내 들어
You clearly rise above the broken time
부서진 시간 위에서 선명히 너는 떠올라
I live with you in my lost heart
길 잃은 맘 속에 널 가둔 채 살아
Stop stop
그만 그만
I look for you who fell asleep in the stopped time
멈춘 시간 속 잠든 너를 찾아가
No matter how much you block it, it's finally your side
아무리 막아도 결국 너의 곁인 걸
After a long and long journey, I go back now
길고 긴 여행을 끝내 이젠 돌아가
The way back home
너라는 집으로 지금 다시 way back home
Try to find the world upside down
세상을 뒤집어 찾으려 해
Only the story that is complete with you
오직 너로 완결된 이야기를
Even if I lose everything, I only need you
모든 걸 잃어도 난 너 하나면 돼
Hug me here when the light is off
빛이 다 꺼진 여기 나를 안아줘
When I close my eyes, it comes out silently
눈을 감으면 소리 없이 밀려와
On top of this heart, you pile up again
이 마음 그 위로 넌 또 한 겹 쌓여가
I need you, nobody else
내겐 그 누구도 아닌 니가 필요해
Come back and stay with me until that day, I'm not done
돌아와 내 곁에 그날까지 I'm not done"
