Bosco smiled at her. She smiled back. They were best friends, so close that everyone around them thought they were a couple. Sometimes they chose to say no, other times they declined to answer, sparking much interest in many of their mutual friends. Bosco and Myolie were celebrities. Both met when they were not that well known, but maintained a close friendship in the entertainment industry over the years. They had been too busy to date anyone, as their popularity status continued to rise over the years and they did not want any negative press to affect their careers. Although they held a suspected love relationship, and while some of their fans wanted them to be a real life couple, they were purely just best friends at the moment. Bosco: What are you doing after the function today? Myolie: Home! I haven't got decent sleep in the past week. Bosco: Silly Myyo, what have you been doing? Myolie: What else? Working, of course. Bosco: Don't get yourself sick. Rest once in a while. Myolie: I know, I know. Bosco: Come on, let me drive you home. Myolie: Yes, I know. We live right next to each other. You make it seem like a favor, but it's only convenience. Bosco: Hey, I was only trying to be nice, but, you can always reject my offer. Myolie: Of course not, my best friend. Why would I reject you? Bosco (thinking to himself): Bosco, she only sees you as a best friend. Nothing else, okay? Myolie: Let's go! Bosco: Oh yeah, let's go. Myolie playfully smacks Bosco in the arm. Myolie: Pay attention. Bosco: I always pay attention to you. Myolie: Huh? Bosco: I said I always pay attention. Myolie: Oh. They waved to their fans and went to the parking lot to pick up Bosco's car and drove home. Bosco: Bye. Get some rest. I'll go grab some groceries to cook dinner. I'll call you when dinner is ready. Myolie: Ok. Thanks. Bosco: Talk to you later. Myolie goes to her apartment to get some rest, while Bosco goes to buy seafood to prepare seafood pasta. (6 hours later) Bosco calls Myolie. Bosco: Myyo, dinner is ready. Come over to my place… Myolie: Ok, okay, coming. Myolie walks over to Bosco's apartment. Bosco: Miss, what happened to your face? Myolie starts touching her face. Myolie: What? I was just to lazy to put on makeup. I know you wouldn't mind. Bosco: Eh… Myolie: Hey, I'm only not afraid to show you my face without makeup. Bosco: Mhmm. Myolie: Let's stop discussing my face. I thought dinner was ready. I'm starving. Let's eat. What's for dinner anyways? Bosco: Seafood pasta. Myolie: Yay, my favorite! Bosco: Want some wine, my friend? Myolie: That would be perfect! And few glasses of wine and some seafood pasta, Myolie starts to feel dizzy. Myolie: Bosco, why do you treat me so well? Bosco: Huh? Myolie: Don't treat me so well. I'm afraid I will fall for you. Bosco: Actually, Myolie, I already love you more than just a best friend. I want to be your boyfriend and take care of you. I was afraid to tell you because you've been telling me all along that I was just your best friend. What do you think, Myyo? Bosco looked over to a sleeping Myolie. Bosco: Oh, she fell asleep. I wonder if I'll ever get a chance to tell her how I feel about her. Little did Bosco know Myolie was only pretending to sleep, as she didn't know how to respond to him. Myolie (thinking to herself): What? He loves me more than just a best friend too? Bosco carried Myolie to his bedroom and laid her on his bed. Myolie (thinking to herself): What is he doing? Bosco drapes his blankets over Myolie and goes outside to wash the dishes. After doing the dishes, he goes back to his room to get some blankets for himself to sleep on the living room sofa. The blazing morning sun woke both of them up the next morning. Myolie woke up to find Bosco snuggled in blankets in the living room. Myolie: Bosco, good morning. Why are you sleeping in your own living room? Bosco: You must have been really knocked out last night. You fell asleep on the couch, so I lent you my bedroom. Myolie: Awh, you didn't have to. Bosco: Well, after all, you are my guest. Did you hear what I said to you last night by any chance? Myolie: Uh, no… What did you say to me? Bosco: Oh never mind… Come on, we're running late. Myolie: Yeah. The two arrive to their function and sees two mutual friends. Friend #1: Oh, look who's here. Friend #2: It's our golden couple. Friend #1: Are you guys together yet? Friend #2: Yeah, it's been long already. Bosco: Hey, there's nothing between us. Myolie: Yeah, nothing. We're just friends… Friend #1: Of course, just friends! Friend #2: Hahah. Myolie: Come, let's go! Bosco looks at Myolie. Myolie looks back at him. Friend #2: Come, lovebirds. Your fans are waiting for you two… To admit that you're together. Myolie: What's there to admit? We're not together. Friend #1: If you say so, Mrs. Wong. Myolie: You can all me Myolie or Miss Wu. Fans became excited and started calling their idols' names. Myolie: Come on, come on, it's time to go. Bosco: Let's go! After the function, one of Bosco's fans hugs him, which shocked Myolie. Bosco: Myyo, ready to go to studio? Myolie ignores Bosco. Bosco: Myolie, ready to go? Myolie: Go ask those who you like to hug. Bosco: Wait, are you jealous? Myolie: What? No! Bosco: Because you saw me hugging someone. Myolie: Who was that? Bosco: If we're just best friends, does it matter? Myolie: Eh… Bosco: Myyo, she was only one of my fans. Myolie: Oh, gotta go! Bosco grabs Myolie's arms. Bosco: Wait, why were you so angry and jealous before? Myolie: Why can't I be? Bosco: Because you keep insisting that we're only friends. Myolie: But, did you know that I've actually heard everything you said the other night? I was only pretending to sleep. Bosco: Oh, you… Myolie: Shocked? Bosco: Well, I always wanted to tell you, I just didn't know how or when was the perfect timing to do so. And when I told you the other night, I thought you heard it, but the next morning, you said you didn't hear a word I said! Myolie: Well, what do we do now? Bosco: Can I be your boyfriend then? Myolie: Yes, my best friend. Bosco: No, I want to be your boyfriend and care all about you: cook for you and assist you with anything you need help with. Myolie: Awh, that's really sweet, my… Bosco: Yeah, I'm waiting for you to say it. Myolie: Boyfriend! Bosco: Yay, we're an official couple now!! Their mutual friends walk in. Friend #1: So, are you finally a couple yet? Myolie: Yes, we are. Bosco: But, we're still best friends. Friend #2: Oh, I'm just so happy for you two!
