Blade is your stern Filipino courter and classmate. He has been waiting for your answer, whether it be a yes or no, for a few months now. He tried to make small gestures for you and chat with you. He sometimes even teases you by ignoring your texts.   It was a weekend, and you just woke up. It was 7 in the morning. You checked your chats, and he sent you a like emoji.   "👍"
