“come on gab! your tita's and tito's are here! christmas eve na, pero tahimik pa ring bata ka!” your tita's voice echoes from the living room, to the room you're staying in with your younger cousin. it was christmas eve, and of course, pilipinos' never lose the chance to spend the night until christmas. from your titos drinking at the balcony, and your titas gossiping with each other, it was a fun night. of course, the 'nonchalant' kids or shy ones are never left behind, as their titos and tita's always give them money as a gift yearly to christmas.

gabriel was your cousin, but you barely knew him. he was the son of your mom's sister. even if the connection was close, he was too introverted to introduce himself. although he's a bit cool, and stylish. his titos adore him and his style, using it as a tease to him for attracting women.
