Lthe three girls: FEELINGS

siddhart: yeah, I really like you, Tina, I know you have a boyfriend but I can't stand this anymore, I just had to tell you, it hurts me to see your pictures on Instagram with him.

Valentina: we are not together anymore..

siddhart: oh, i'm really sorry (holds her hand)

Valentina: look siddhart, you are a good man, here isn't any girl who won't want a man like you (covers his hand with hers) but am not the one for you.

siddhart: what makes you think you're not the one for me?!

Valentina: I don't love you and you need someone that does love you.

siddhart: I can make you love me, I'll make you happy.

Valentina: I know you'll make me happy but I won't be able to make you happy, the woman meant for you is still out there.

siddhart: but i--

Valentina: you say you love me right? then proof to me that you love me by forgetting about me and finding someone else please for me.

siddhart: (looks up with teary eyes) alright, I'll do it (kisses Val on the cheek and leaves)

Ju kyung: oh my God, I can't believe he came all the way to korea to confess his feelings for you.

soo hoo: I wish I were you.

Valentina: don't ever wish you were me, my life is messed up, I guess I have to tell you my story, so who's up for a story?

ju kyung: oh I love stories....

Valentina: (taking to her step sister) temi, stop eating like that, that's the second plate of food you're eating.

Temi: what?! am I not the baby of the house?

Valentina: you are our senior temi, act like one.

Temi: but you know i'm sick.

Valentine: don't you want to get better?

Temi: I want to and I'm getting better and soon I'll be whole again so I can be the senior I am.

Valentina: you know, it's not fair, i act like the senior yet I get the smallest portion of food, even our little brother here....

valentine: (cuts in) HEY! with just a few minute.

Valentina: his portion of food is much bigger than mine.

Temi: you know, he's a boy, he has to eat to be strong.

Valentina: you are talking like mom and dad, I thought you said you love me.

Temi: I do naw!

Valentina: then stop taking Valentine side

valentine: it's because I'm handsome (rubbing his jaw line as he bits his lips)

Valentina: see this small rat, if I stone you!..

On a faithful morning, Tina, Tino and temi goes jogging...

Valentina: you're jogging slowly, temi. I thought you said the hole in your heart is closed up.

valentine: don't stress her.

Valentina: you shut up (to temi) let's jog very well so you can get stronger.

temi: (breathing heavily) ok (jogs for a while) I can't go on (holding her chest)

Valentina: why? are you tired?

Valentina: temi, temi wake up, TEMI! TEMI!! TINO! VALENTINO!! VALENTINE!! (Tino goes to them) temi, she's not waking up, TEMI! TEMI!!...
