"I won't go there." I said while me and Sam are walking towards a food stall. We pass by some tourists and they recommend for us to go to the Sex Museum. As much as I wanted to laugh awhile ago, instead, I got slightly annoyed that those other tourists thought me and Sam and girlfriend and boyfriends. 

"Same goes here, I know they put hard work on making that place but I know it will feel weird inside that museum." Sam said and I nod, not giving any answer until we have arrived in front of the food stall. 

"Two corndogs please and 1 order of rice cakes." he said to the vendor. I am a bit shocked that he didn't ask me what to eat anymore. 

"Aren't you gonna ask me what I want?" I confusedly ask, he turn his head to look at me and smiled. 

"But I already know what you want, corndogs and rice cakes, a spicy one. Or am I wrong, Louise?" he ask, raising a brow, I crossed my arms and glared at him. 

"Fine, you got it right. And buy me drinks after." I said and he shortly chuckled, "Boba tea? Super sweet?" he ask and I nod, "Yes," I shortly answered. 

The vendor soon gave our orders and just like what I said, he brought me a boba tea that is super sweet that I really really like. After spending an hour or two in Jeju, buying souvenirs and taking more pictures, we took the flight back to Seoul. We arrived back at our hotel room by quarter too 7 PM. I got so tired from the whole trip which made me fall asleep immediately, the moment I lay down on my bed. 

I woke up around 2am, I took a shower as I realized that I am wearing the same clothes and didn't even changing a bit. Once I am in my comfortable, sleeping clothes, I hear my stomach growl that made me caress it and head out of the hotel room. I stopped in front of Sam's room and knocked. 

"Sam! Let's eat! I'm hungry! Samahan mo ako sa baba." I said while knocking on his door, I don't care if he's asleep, if he's resting or he already ate last night. I am hungry and I want to eat, right now!

"Sam--"

My words were cut off when the door suddenly opened revealing Sam in black shirt and his messy hair. 

"Hey, you hungry? Let's go, patayin ko lang laptop ko." he said before running back inside. I peak inside his room and saw that he just turned off a game and so is his laptop before rushing back towards me, holding his phone and his keys. 

"Let's go," he said, his hand around my shoulders as we walk through the hallways until we entered the elevator and arrived at the buffet. I put Carbonara, Steak, Chicken, and Pork Belly on one plate and put some noodles, rice cakes, kimchi fried rice and some dumplings on the other. It didn't end there that I grab a bowl of black bean noodles. 

I'm feeling so hungry since the last meal I had was at 2PM and that was the rice cakes and corndogs. It's been 10 hours and I think it is understandable to eat this a lot. 

"You were playing games when I knocked on your door?" I ask while eating, Sam only got himself Carbonara, chicken and some dumplings. 

He nods, "Yes, I haven't slept yet." he said and my brows furrowed. 

"Why?" I asked, curious while munching on my food. 

"Well... I had to do some school work, I finished at 11PM, I got stressed so I played some games. I didn't noticed the time until you knocked." he replied and I nod. 

"Ahm... was it a type of game that you can't pause?" I ask and he giggled, looking down on his food. 

"Well yes, but you're stomach is more important. It's just a game." he said and  my brows furrowed. 

"You'll be AFK on the game, we should have wait you finish. I can wait naman." I said and he lift his head up. 

"Louise, I said it's just a game. You're hungry, the last time I saw you ate was still in Jeju. It's ben more than 8 hours since you last ate. A game is nothing compare to you. You're way important than that." he softly said, I nod and hang my head low as I bite my lower lip and trying to stop the weird feeling in me. Why am I feeling it again? The blood rush, how do I make it stop? 

After we ate, we grab some ice creams and brought it upstairs, I ask him if I can watch him play but he said he will be sleeping after and I should too. It's 3 in the morning and he said I should be resting more. So I did and just told him to let him watch by the time I wake up. 

30th of December, me and Sam spent the whole day and afternoon in his hotel room. He's letting me watch his game and after 4 or 5 games, he finally let me play which I have been waiting for the past hours. 

"Louise press 4, plant, Louise." he said before pressing 4 on his keypad. I watch as the agent plant the spike. 

"Run!" me and Sam both flinched when I got shot by the enemy. 

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" I chanted when the one who shot me was killed by my ally. 

"Nice!!!" I said, holding both my fist in the air. 

"Nice one, Louise." Sam said before caressing my hair. 

When the Spike explode, it was finally our victory which made me stand up from the floor and started jumping. 

"Ang galing ko!" I said while jumping, Sam stood up from the floor, laughing at my reaction. 

"Yes yes, you did a great job." he said while caressing my hair once again. 

"Let's have our late lunch,  lets go downstairs or let's ask someone to bring us foods?" he ask, I pouted and jumped on his bed. 

"I'm tired, I don't want to move." I said, cheeks squished on the mattress. I hear him chuckled before he grab the telephone and started talking to the room service. I closed my eyes for few seconds but didn't realized I fell asleep. 

Until I was woken up by the bed moving, but I wasn't laying down on the soft mattress anymore. When I finally opened my eyes, I realized I am laying down on Sam's chest while pillowing his arm. 

"Food's here," he softly said, still half asleep, I nod and sat up on bed while he get on his feet and opened the door where the room service pushed two carts inside the room. When the room service leave, I walked towards the table where Sam started putting the foods on the plate. 

"I think you like savory, creamy and foods that goes nyam nyam nyam, so I asked for a lot of noodles and pasta. We both like crispy and protein so chicken, pork and beef. Then dessert, you like a lot of sweets." he said and my head snap at his direction which made me chuckle. 

"Nyam nyam nyam?" I ask and he chuckled, "Yes, something like that, you like those kind of foods. You like pasta and noodles so I ordered a lot." he said which made me smile and nod. We started eating and I ask him if we can play again, he told me if I want to, then we can. We didn't finish all the foods so we started playing again, but while playing, we would eat and joke around. We even planned what we will be doing tomorrow midnight. 

We decided to celebrate New Year just like how we celebrated Christmas, we will be buying lots of foods and have a picnic at Han River where we will also be watching fireworks displays. 

I ended up sleeping in his hotel room when the day ended. The morning I woke up, he's already up and already dressed. 

"Good morning princess," he greets, I slowly sat up on bed, eyes still half closed. Princess? Inin calls me mahal na prinsesa. 

"I'll go back to my room, I'll take a shower." I said as I leave his bed, "Sure sure, let's have breakfast after." he said and I nod before exiting his room. I took a quick shower since I am still feeling sleepy while taking a shower. I put on a printed white shirt and jeans, partnered with a black combat boots and putting my hair in a ponytail. After putting on light make up and preparing my bag, I put on the thick, baggy jacket and head out my room. I knocked on Sam's room and the door immediately opened. 

"Let's go?" he ask and I nod, he closed the door of his room and I clung on his arm to support my weight as I still feel sleepy. 

"Louise? Are you okay?" he ask before placing his hand on my forehead. "I'm fine just sleepy." I said, when we entered the elevator, I removed my arm on his and lean on the wall. 

"Sam, let's find a convenience store." I said while we're walking towards the buffet.

"Why? Do you need anything? Napkins? Ako nalang ang bibili, with wings ba?" he ask and my brows furrowed. How does he know about those things?

"How do you know about the magical wings?" I ask and he chuckled, "I studied some things about female stuffs incase you will need my help on this trip." he said and I slightly tilted my head, still brows furrowed. 

"O... kay? But I don't need napkins, I want to eat on the convenience stores." I said and his lips formed a small 'o' before nodding. 

"Okay then, let's go." he held me by my wrist and we went out the hotel, we took a taxi that brought us to the nearest 7/11 store where I found so many, as in so many cup noodles, microwavable foods such as lunchbox, sausages and more. 

I ended up buying 2 cup noodles, a lunchbox of kimchi fried rice, spam, sausages and omelette. Some dumplings, some rice cakes and I also tried the fishcakes. I brought a bottle of coffee to wake myself up.

I'm mixing my noodles when Sam came back with a bar of chocolate, he place it beside my arm as he sat across me, "To boost you energy." he said, smiling at me, I smiled back at him, "Thanks," I said, we proceed on eating our breakfast, I would see some kids staring at me then waving at me. I find myself awkwardly smiling since I am not very used on kids. 

"Hi~" I flinched as a kid talked beside me while waving. I gulped and hesitantly waved back, 

"당신의 머리는 아름답 네요." she said and my jaw dropped, huh? I don't understand, someone please translate!  Soon a teenager, around 14 or 15 held the little girl's hand. 

"Sorry, she said your hair is beautiful." she said, I slowly nod while touching my hair while she took the kid away. 

I slowly look at Sam, "That was... weird." I said and he giggled, "What do you mean? The kid looks cute." he said and I rolled my eyes, "I don't like kids." I said before taking a bite of my sausage. 

"But the kid likes your hair, and I like it too, so is your blue eyes." he said which made my head snap up. 

"Silly, just eat." I said letting out a chuckle. 

When we finished our food, we went to Myeongdeong to go shopping. And of course, we once again bough a lot, and we also didn't let the foods pass. 

By 3PM, we went back to the hotel and I fell asleep. At 7PM, someone knocked on my door. It was Sam telling me that we should get ready because we still need to take out some foods. I change into new clothes before we leave the hotel. That's the time I find out Sam already rented a car. He must rented it after we arrived back at the hotel. 

Sam said we should get a lot of food for prosperous New Year. I just go with his flow since I don't really believe in those such things. He brought pasta, noodles, a whole chicken, a rolled pork belly, beef steaks, two dozen of sushi, the never ending rice cake, some other sticky foods that I didn't know where he learned and a lot more. Few minutes before 12 midnight when we arrived at the Han River. 

"Sam it's starting!" I said while we are putting down the foods. I look at my phone to see that it's already New Year. 

"Sam!! Happy New Year!!" I said jumping while holding the Mochi Balls, 

"Are you jumping? You're already tall Louise, you don't need to jump anymore." he said while giggling. We stop on what our doing when the fireworks started. 

"Wow! It's beautiful! Sam look!!" I said pointing at the sky. I searched for my phone in my my pocket, my eyes still locked to the fireworks display. I started recording the fireworks that lasted for almost 3 minutes. 

"It's beautiful," I said, amazed by the fireworks that feels like I have only seen for the first time. 

"It is, so much." Sam said, I turn my head to look at him and saw him staring at me. 

I cleared my throat, I put my phone down, "Let's eat?" I ask, he nods and remove his gaze at me. We brought the other foods out of the car and we started eating. We're playing some music while eating, we talked how the fireworks display is so awesome. Plus it's a lot! Way more than the one I'm seeing in Tagkawayan. 

"Louise," he called and I hum at him before lifting my head up. "Yes?" I asked, 

He look hesitant, "If... If I give you a ring right now, would you accept it?" he ask and my lips parted. 

I took a deep breath and bit my lower lip, I slowly shake my head, "Sam, I'm... I might, but you know I'll just accept it but... not fully accept your intentions. You know what I mean." I said and the side of his lips raised. 

"I understand, you'll only be forced to accept it, right?" he ask and I slowly nod. 

"Yes, I'm sorry Sam but... he's...--"

"He's really the one?" he ask, I bit my lower lip and slowly nod. 

"Yes, yes Sam, I like him and he likes me too. The feelings are mutual." I said and he slowly nod, 

"It's fine, I understand, let's eat nalang." he said before giving me a smile. I awkwardly smile back before nodding and we continue eating. Unlike the Christmas eve, we went home after eating, we brought the foods back to our hotel rooms which I'm glad they let foods from outside inside the rooms. 

The whole day of January 1, we both stayed in our rooms. I already greeted my friends Happy New Year and sent them the video of last night which amazed them as well. I can't blame them, anyone who would see the fireworks display will definitely love it too. 

to Inin: 

Hello! Happy New Year!! 

I bit my lower lip, tapping on my phone waiting for his reply. It took him minute so I started pacing back and forth, when my phone beeped, I immediately jumped onto the bed where my phone is at. 

from Inin:

Happy New Year! Kamusta ka? 

to Inin:

I'm good! Kayo ni tito? Kamusta kayo? 

from Inin: 

Okay lang, masaya naman kami ni papa. Kailan kayo uuwi? 

A chuckle escaped my lips as I suddenly have an idea on what to reply to him. 

to Inin:

Why? Miss mo na ako? 

I was laughing after hitting send, Ali would sometimes send this flirty messages that's why I just learned from her. I pick up my phone when he replied. 

from Inin:

Yes, sorry na, na-miss lang talaga kita. 

My eyes widened, I didn't know he actually misses me. 

from Inin:

Pero okay lang yun, mahalaga nag-eenjoy ka diyan. Alam ko naman na uuwi kayo eh. 

to Inin:

Yes, uuwi kami, at may pasalubong ako sa inyo ni tito. 

My brain has been thinking about going home the rest of the day. I even started packing since we can finally take the flight back to Manila any moment. Classes will return by January 4 and I think we should be going home by tomorrow so we will still have time to take a rest. 

"Sam? Let's go back to Philippines tomorrow?" I said while we're eating dinner, he lift his head up and nod. 

"Sure sure, I kinda miss my house also." he replied, no questioned ask and I slowly nod. Finally! I'm heading back!

The next morning, me and Sam started packing our stuffs, since I already packed some last night, I only had to pack few today. Sam said he already booked a ticket back to Manila. By 11PM, we're already at the airport, our flight was at 12 and we gladly made it on time. We had our lunch at the plane. Even though the flight lasts for 4 hours, I wasn't able to sleep cause all I can think is heading home. 

But as we went down the plane and arrived back at his mansion where my driver is waiting for me who I texted this morning that I'll be coming back, I felt the exhaustion take over me. 

"Bye Sam! I had fun, so much!" I said waving at him as my driver closes the door of the van, I immediately fell asleep on the van on the first minutes of the travel. It was fun, so much! But I am so tired to the point I don't want anyone to bother me. 

Hindi agad ako nakapag unpack ng mga dala ko nang maka-uwi ako ng Tagkawayan. Ang tanging gusto ko lang ay ang magpahinga at matulog. Walang nakapigil sa akin na matulog buong araw ng January 3 lalo na at may pasok kinabukasan. It was hell!! The things I'm just looking forward to is to see my friends and Inin.
