“Let's talk later,” I was about to chase their car when my brother held both my hands to stop me.

“Kuya! Can’t you see what’s happening?! Let go of me!” I struggled to let go of his grip.

”Mew, calm down! Let him go first!” He shouted at me so I looked at him. I was tired and just sat on the floor.

I felt my tears dripping. “What is the problem? Why did this suddenly happen? We were fine,” I sobbed.

"Beer?" He asked and extended his hand, signaling that I should use his hand to stand up.

"You not helping,” I scoffed in annoyance.

”And you’re ugly. Don’t you want me to help you with Gulf?”

”Really? You’ll help me?” As soon as I heard that, I was relieved. He glared at me as if he’s telling me to just shut up.

“Gulf lost himself when you two broke up. We lost connection with him, we had no idea if he is okay or what. He was isolating himself. We tried to talk to him, comfort him, but none of it was working.” Kuya Tong explained.
