Day 022

11:11pm

Rico: It actually hurts so bad, hahahahaha… 🙂

Jhing: What is?

Rico: My ex probably did it on purpose, hahahaha. She posted a status that she's going to Ayala at 'the usual spot' and 'the usual time' but when I went there, I found out that I was actually not the one she wanted to meet at the usual spot and time.

11:14pm

Rico: I was just gonna leave, but she called me to a stop and asked what I was doing at our ‘usual spot’ and ‘usual time.’

Rico: Hahahahaha! She even smiled widely when she introduced her ‘friend,’ while I, on the other hand, had the urge to punch someone…

Rico: Shouldn’t I be happy because the person I love is happy?

Rico: But shit. It hurts.

Rico: I can't make myself smile…

Rico: I won’t be happy not until that guy is sent to the hospital because of my punch.

11:15pm

Jhing: No one said you must, and need, to be happy. That’s insane. Who on earth would be happy when the person they love is happy with someone else?

11:16pm

Jhing: We all have the right to be hurt. So what if you’re thinking for yourself? It’s okay to be selfish. You’re a human for fuck’s sake. Every human on earth is entitled to be hurt. To feel pain. To be a person.

Jhing: So stop acting like a holy one, and start acting like a real person. With feelings.

11:19pm

Rico: Wow. With feelings.

Rico: Love guru¹ ah.

Rico: That's probably the longest message you have ever replied to me.

11:23pm

Jhing: Shut up, I’m trying to be nice here.

Jhing: You should cooperate.

Rico: Thank you, Jhing. 🙂

Rico: I want to hug you right now…

11:26pm

Jhing: What!? Tangina², you're gross.

Rico: Hahahahahahaha, I thought so.

Rico: That you're going to reply like that, ahahahahaha.

Rico: Thanks, Jhing. Thanks!

Rico: I didn't expect that you'll be the one to lighten up my mood.

Jhing: Ha ha ha.

Rico: I'm sorry, but I'm probably uselass to talk to right now.

Rico: useless*

Rico: I'm still a mess.

11:29pm

Jhing: You have always been useless to talk to anyway.

Rico: I'm already broken-hearted here, and you still stomped my heart into pieces…

Rico: Ouch.

Jhing: That's good so you can stop with your pm.

Rico: Do you want me to disappear?

Jhing: Sure, why not?

Rico: Why? Do you hate it when I message you?

Seen 11:55pm

Rico: Uh, fine.

Rico: Goodnight.

Rico: With feelings.

12:00am

Rico: He he he.
