During their teenage years, Jelo, Jaja, and Janjan also experienced their first crushes. It was a time of excitement, nervousness, and the fluttering of hearts. Each of them found themselves drawn to someone who shared their interests and passions.

Jelo's heart skipped a beat whenever he saw Mia, a fellow art student. They often found themselves in the same art classes, discussing techniques and critiquing each other's work. One day, as they were working on a project together, Jelo mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation.

"Hey, Mia," Jelo said, trying to sound casual. "What do you think of this color palette I'm using?"

Mia looked up from her own artwork and smiled. "I love the way you combine different shades. It creates such depth and emotion in your paintings."

Jelo felt a rush of warmth spread through him. "Thanks, Mia. Your work is amazing too. I'm always inspired by your use of textures."

"Hey, Sarah! That was an incredible show," Jaja said, his voice filled with admiration.

Sarah smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you, Jaja. I've seen your band perform too, and you guys are amazing. Your music really resonates with me."
