01x13 - Crossing The Line

Post by bunniefuu »

What’s up with these two?

They’re still not talking?

Listening to “Lifetime” by Ben&Ben.

What a drama queen.

Just make up already.

Leave Ben&Ben out of this.

Let’s check out baby boy’s drama.

Wow best acting by an emoji!

What a baby.

Babes!

What’s up?

What’s going on?

Still not talking?

Really?

SEENderellas?

Pearl.

Cai.

Gav.

Pearl, please!

You’re still on mute!

Sorry about that.

I don’t care if you get angry at me.

I know I’m crossing the line, but who cares?

You’ve been throwing hints at each other.

Why don’t you talk it out?

You made me your referee last time.

I might as well do it again.

OK, let’s go to the bottom of this.

I want to know everything from the top.

Oh my God! I’m so witty!

Admit it. That was funny, right?

No? You don’t care? Seriously?

You still refuse to talk?

You think I didn’t come prepared?

You’re really testing my stalking skills—

I mean my research skills.

This is just like the tabloid talk show “Face to Face.”
Wait.

- Pearl, what’s this?
- What are they doing here?

- You’re making things worse!
- This is not funny, Pearl.

Are you done? Great.

At least you’re talking now.

You left me no choice!

You refuse to tell me the problem.
I had to dig through your social media.

Apparently,

Terrence is involved.

I also found out about Wesley.

Unbelievable.

I got so busy with my love life,

that I didn’t even notice what’s happening
on earth.

Gav, Cai, sorry.

Pearl said you were fighting and
she asked for our help.

Yup.

Based on the evidence I gathered,

I’m certain it’s just a misunderstanding.

So I invited them to clear things up.

It’s a good thing they’re willing to cooperate.

I usually let you guys settle things on your own,

but this is the longest you haven’t spoken
to each other.

I’m just worried, being the president of
your fans club.

Whatever I can do to help, I’m game.

What do you want us to do?

Hopefully we can have a conversation like adults

and fix this.

By the way, thank you,
Wesley for answering my messages.

You’re every bit as cute as your pictures show.

That’s cute to you?

I mean, of course, you’re cuter Gav.

You’re my best friend…

but objectively speaking,
you’re also cute Wesley.

Show-off, not cute.

Gav, if you have something to say,
say it to my face.

- Stop grumbling to yourself.
- Wes!

But you really are a show-off.

How am I show-off?

You’re always trying to get my baby’s attention.

You know he has a boyfriend.

- Stop making trouble.
- Gav, stop it.

I’m not making trouble.

I’m just helping him out.

Please don’t project your insecurity to me.

Insecure?

Me?

I’m not insecure with you!

Just because you’re a math genius,

you think it makes people insecure?

That was just a TV commercial, OK?

I wouldn’t be acting this way without a
good reason.

Admit it.

You like Cairo, don’t you?

- Baby, we’ve talked about this—
- Admit it!

Gav!

Admit it!

Gav!

Well?

Yes!

- If that’s what you want to know-
- See.

But it’s just a happy crush.

I wasn’t even planning to tell Cai.

In the first place, I respect your relationship.

Second, I know it will just pass.

Did you hear that, baby?

See, I was right.
You think you’re always right.

OK.

That’s a good start.
At least we all got to express our feelings.

But please, stop resorting to name calling.

It’s not helping our discussion.

Now who else wants to share their feelings?

Pearl, I think we should let them talk alone.

We’re probably not helping by being here.

Wow.

You should have thought of that
before causing trouble.

Sorry, Cai. That wasn’t my intention.

I’ve heard that from you before.

But do you really mean it?

Again, I apologize.

Gav needed someone to talk to.

I needed the same.

I thought we were okay since you already
unblocked me.

I guess I’ve overstayed my welcome.

Cai, sorry.

Sorry but I can’t believe you anymore.

I’m just being honest.

It’s just too soon.

You’re meddling in our relationship again.

I wish you thought of that too, baby.

We talk from morning to evening.

We talk when we eat together.

Why do you need to talk to him?

It never crossed your mind
that there are things I can’t tell you?

It’s hard for me to talk about you leaving.

Didn’t we already talk about this?

I thought you’re OK?

I’m not OK.

I’m not OK with you leaving.

Then that wise-ass shows up.

You know I’m jealous,
and you still insist we become friends.

What about Pearl?

She’s your ex but it’s not an issue.

Wait. Why is it my fault?

Pearl is not the issue here.

You can say that again.

The issue here is you!

Hey.

You’re arguing like you don’t love
each other anymore.

I think both of you have valid points.

You can work this out.

You’ve been through so much.

Are you just going to give up now?

Let’s just talk some other time, Pearl.

I agree.

Hey, wait.

Unbelievable.

It didn’t work.

On “Face to Face,” all problems get resolved.

Hi.

By the way, I’m Wesley.

We weren’t introduced formally.

Terrence here.

I wanted to say nice meeting you,

but there’s nothing nice about this situation we’re in.

Yeah.

This meet-cute isn’t cute.

Seriously?

Fixing is my jam.

Sometimes it’s a problem.

I have to learn to trust
that people can fix themselves.

Gav, sorry.

You and Cai are fighting again because of me.

It’s not your fault.

He’s just pissed at me.

He knows we did nothing wrong.

He’s just looking for someone to blame.

You know why he’s acting the way he is?

Then just make up already.

I want to.

But?

A part of me is wondering
if I made the right decision.

The first time I met him,

all my doubts disappeared.

I realized how much I love him.

But seeing his jealous side

makes me realize there’s a lot
I don’t know about him.

So?

You have the whole lifetime
to get to know each other.

I suppose. I really miss him.

Then what are you waiting for?

Every time we have a problem,

it’s so easy for him to give up.

He forgets everything we’ve been through.

He doesn’t care about my feelings.

Gav, you have to remember
that this is all new to Cai.

He probably doesn’t know how to handle this.

We all know he’s emotional.

But lately, I’ve noticed
you have also become emotional.

This pandemic is not helping.

And that alien-looking smart-ass.

You mean Wesley?

He doesn’t look like Cai’s type.

What do you mean?

Now you’re fishing.

You’re the only guy he likes.

That’s why he’s so mad at me.

He’s being protective of you.

Maybe.

But believe me, that smart-ass is after my baby.

As I’ve said, it’s just a crush.
Nothing serious.

Believe me, I wouldn’t go after you…

no offense.

None taken.

At least it’s clear.

I won’t say sorry for having a little crush on you.

But I will apologize for provoking him.

It made your boyfriend really mad.

You can be short-tempered at times.

This is Pearl’s fault.

She shouldn’t have done that.

Ssob, I like Pearl.

She’s fun.

And Terrence seems cool.

Terrence?

Yuck.

Stop it.

Anyway, everything is set here in Bukidnon.

I already arranged your quarantine accommodation.

What about on your end?

My brother is taking care of everything.

We are scheduled for swab testing.

And we’re booking our flight tickets soon.

Nice.

So you’re all set.

Have you told Gav?

Baby…

Yes?

Wow.

Can you be more cold than that?

Let’s talk.

Yes, baby. I’ve been meaning to ask also.

OK, you want me to call you?

It’s better if we talk in person.

OK, baby. I think you’re right.

There’s a quiet place near our condo.

Let’s meet there.

How do we fix this?

You know I’m leaving.

How come you can’t accept it?

You got it wrong.

I’m trying my best to accept it, baby.

But it’s hard.

I’m just asking for a little help from you.

Baby, you make me feel so selfish.

I’ve always been here for you.

You’re not the only one having a hard time.

Just because I’m the one leaving,
you think it’s easy for me?

I want to stay.
But I have to take care of Mama first.

Baby, I know that.

If you do, then why are we fighting?

We’re fighting because you refuse
to understand my point.

I’m always here to reassure you when
you’re jealous or hurt.

But me? I have no right to be jealous.

I have no right to be hurt.

It’s too much, baby.

Can’t you baby me for once?

Reassure me?

OK, Gav.

You want to talk about me leaving.

Then let’s talk.

Wow.

Can you be any more sincere?

Crap.

What?

I said, crap!

Just turn me into a robot.
And make me say what you want to hear.

You insist it’s my fault.

The truth is, it’s your jealousy that’s
causing the problem.

You just want me to stop being friends with Wes.

It’s not happening Gav.

Being in this relationship

doesn’t give you the right to dictate
who I should be friends with.

Tell that to yourself.

Maybe you’ll stop questioning my
friendship with Terrence.

That’s different.

To you it’s different.

We’re going in circles, Gav.

Maybe this was a bad idea.

It just made our fight worse.

I thought that if we met,

we’d be able to solve our issues.

I thought so too.

Cairo, where are you?

I need help packing the kitchen.

- I’ve been looking for you.
- Ma…

Are you at the parking lot?

Ma,

the world didn’t stop.

Are you drunk?

Come up here, or do you want me to fetch you?

Look Ma, time didn't stop.

And the world still keeps on turning.

I thought that by meeting him
we’d be able to solve our problems.

But it didn’t work.

There’s no more music.

There’s no more magic.

Did you break up with your fan?

I’m the one washing your
shirts and pillow cases.

You think you can hide anything from me?

We didn’t break up.

Not yet.

But it looks like we’re headed there.

We’re always fighting.

I’m not sure if we can handle an LDR.

And this pandemic isn’t helping.

It’s like the world doesn’t want us to be happy.

Leave the world out of this, son.

Have you forgotten

that your dad and I started out
on a long distance relationship?

He was working as a seafarer,

while I was still living in Bukidnon.

We were like that for 5 years

until we decided to settle down in Manila.

We didn’t see each other often.

And social media hasn’t been invented yet.

What was that like, Ma?

You just wrote letters to each other?

Excuse me.

We had a landline telephone back then.

Anyway,

my point is,

if you truly love each other,

distance shouldn’t be a problem.

But you really need to make an effort.

You have to nurture your love
for each other every day.

When the time is right,

your love is right.

Thank you, Ma.

It makes me feel a little better.

Now, come up here.

Promise you won’t k*ll me?

Stop it, Cairo.

Come up here and we’ll drink together.

Really, Ma.

Please remind your mom to bring
the documents with her.

Travel pass, medical certificate,

and the results of your swab tests.

My brother’s on it.

Stop reminding me.

Just making sure.

Does Gav know?

You didn’t tell him?

I don’t think I can say goodbye to him.

Are you sure?

Cairo, that can wait.

We still have stuff to load.

OK.

I have to go.

Talk to you later.

See you soon.

- Pearl.
- Gavreel! Did you just wake up?

Yes. Why?

Were you drinking?

We just had our swab test.

I hope you didn’t go out last night.

No.

I was home drinking alone. Why?

Baby boy is on his way to the airport.

You’re not taking him to the airport?

Didn’t you talk about this?

Cairo’s leaving?

Idiot. That’s what I’ve been telling you.

Why didn’t he tell me?

How would I know?

What if he doesn’t want me there?

Maybe he doesn’t want me to see him leave?

So what?

I have to respect that.

I’m sure this is also difficult for him.

Sure?

It’s up to you.

Hey wait. Gavreel!

I have to see my baby.

I’m going after him.

I don’t care if he gets mad.

I can’t let him leave without patching things up.

He needs to hear how much I love him.

OK, best actor John Loyd Cruz.
Calm down.

Now get changed.

Move! Go!

Me too.

I forgot. I’m not the one going to the airport.

Pearl!

What?

What if I don’t catch him in time?

- Stop acting cute if you want to catch him!
- I don’t think I can handle it.

Don’t be stupid.

We can always book a flight.

We’ll go after him. We’ll find ways.

What if he doesn’t like me anymore?

Idiot.

Baby boy!

That’s him! He’s there!

Flip the camera. I want to see him!

I think I’m going crazy!

Hey Gav. Go get your man!

Love you, Pearl.

Love you. Bye!

Baby.

Did you really think I would just give up, baby?

Baby, please don’t cry. You’ll make me cry.

I won’t cry.

Everything you said was true.

I can be inconsiderate.

I got used to you always putting me first.

- No. I overreacted.
- See? You’re doing it again.

It’s difficult for me to leave…

but it never crossed my mind that
it’s also difficult for you.

Maybe even more so.

Sorry, baby.

I was selfish.

Look, I didn’t even bring flowers for you.

I’m sorry too.

I was unreasonable.

Please baby, don’t ever give up on us.

Breaking up won’t solve anything.

I’ll never agree to it.

That’s why I’m here, baby.

Cairo, are you and London on your way?

Yes we are.

I’m just waiting for your aunt.

She’s dropping me off at the airport.

Ma…

What’s the problem?

I’m just really sad, Ma.

You understand why we’re moving
to Bukidnon, right?

Yes, Ma.

I just don’t want to experience life with so many what ifs.

You know what I mean?

I hate this pandemic.

OK.

We don’t yet have a buyer for the condo.

If you want you can stay there with your fan.

Gav.

His name is Gavreel Alarcon.

But son,

I can only give you a week.

Settle what you have to settle.

I won’t stop worrying until our family is complete.

I understand, Ma.

Thank you.

Ma, I love you.

I love you too, son.

You’re not leaving?

We won’t be apart anymore?

I’m only here for a week.

I have to be with Mama,
and help her start anew.

But for now…

the important thing is I’m here.

Baby,

didn’t you hear what I said?

Why are you still crying?

I’m happy.

But I’m also embarrassed by how I behaved.

I reacted that way because

I’m afraid of being abandoned again.

You know my story.

I was so young when my parents d*ed.

And then my grandma also left me.

I’m terrified of losing you, baby.

I don’t think I’d be able to handle losing you.

Baby, I will never leave you.

I won’t allow it to happen.

I’m still a little overwhelmed
because this is so new to me.

But one thing I’m sure of is that
I love you, baby.

I will fight for our love,

wherever I go.

You’ve really gotten good at charming me, baby.

Idiot.

Baby,

I’m sorry if you felt I didn’t trust you.

I’ve kept you to myself too much.

What?

Don’t be cheesy.

I’m also selfish when it comes to you.

Is that true, baby?

Yes,

my annoying baby.

I love hearing you say that.

Wait.

Does this mean you will be staying with me?

Just like a married couple.

Idiot.

I’m just sleeping over.

It’s a good thing I changed my sheets.

You’re sleeping on the floor, idiot.

It’s OK.

As long as we’re together.

I’ll remember that.

What’s that, baby?

You also had a swab test, baby?

We’ve been delivering free meals to hospitals.

Pearl’s dad had all the volunteers tested.

For everyone’s safety.

That’s great.

We’re both negative.

It only means one thing, baby.

Idiot. What are you doing?

Baby…

Our hearts

now b*at as one

My love

no one can take your place

I can’t wait

for your kiss and embrace

My heart is yours

Take me along

Now,

I'm yours

Finally, we're free.

Now

Yummy.

Eat me. I mean, let’s eat.

Don’t be naughty.

Why? Can I take a bite?

One bite?

Say aaah.

Aaaaah.

That’s not fair.

We can’t share our food.

But we already kissed.

It doesn’t matter.

Just eat your food.

Baby, you told me you’re a great cook.

What did you cook for me?

Well…

pizza is a special thing for us, right?

Special? But we’re always eating it.

Don’t be like that.

I’m just joking.

The pizza is delicious. Thanks.

You’re more delicious.

It’s more delicious when I eat with you.

Really?

Whatever.

Why? Stop teasing me.

You want a kiss?

A long one.

Pearl.

How did you get in?

I used to live here, remember?

Baby…

social distancing!

Really? Excuse me.

We both did a swab test and
we’re negative.

I’m so clean.

Unlike you.
Who knows what you’ve been doing?

She’s negative.

Pearl!

Baby.

What?

We’ll eat first, Pearl.

Pearl!

Be serious, Pearl.

Let’s dance the pandemic away.

- Baby.
- Baby boy, join us.

You two look silly!

I love this song! Let’s go!

- Go baby boy!
- Join us.

I can’t stop

I can’t resist

Wondering what this is about

I'm confused

Are you for real?

I admit

You’ve won me over

It's annoying

You’re just lucky

Did you trick me

Into falling for you?

Don’t ever think

I fall in love easy

My heart can be choosy

But your voice is magic

And I’m enchanted

I surrender

You’ve won me over

My heart is yours

Good night.

Good night, baby.

It’s cold.

Hey.

Mama had a talk with you, remember?

Stop it.

Go to sleep.

- Baby you want me to tell you bedtime stories?
- Hug this pillow instead!

Hug it.

You’re so mean to me, baby.

Just stay on your side, baby. OK?

I’m sleepy, baby. Stop being annoying.

- Go to sleep. Good night.
- OK good night.

- Baby, please!
- What do you want for breakfast, baby?

You’re so annoying!

You want me to cook eggs?

- Here cook this!
- Hotdog?

Crap!

I saw that, baby.

Idiot.

What do you want to do, baby?

It’s up to you, baby.
