⠀ 〔 #𝖂𝗘𝗦𝗧 〕⁝  From the stage, he could see guests rising from their seats, unable to resist moving along with the melody. His gaze wandered across the crowd until it landed on Apollo and Theo, and Katsuki’s parents. The sight drew an immediate smile from him. ⠀

⠀ 〔 #𝖂𝗘𝗦𝗧 〕⁝  Katsuki’s father had taken his wife by the hand, swaying her teasingly from side to side while she laughed, her smile bright. WEST found it adorable. “My heart, it beats for you.” ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⵢ ⦅ 𝔚EST ⦆  ⁝  Halos punit na ang boses pero punô ng sigla. Napatingin siya sa mga kabanda niya—lahat nakangiti, pawis, pero buhay na buhay. Sa sandaling ‘yon, parang wala nang ibang mundo kundi ‘yung musika at ang mga taong sumisigaw ng parehong salita. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⵢ ⦅ 𝔚EST ⦆ ⁝ “Ayokong maghintay pa sa imposible” He alligned his lips with the mic, his brows furrowed as the spotlight hit his figure. “Ayoko ng mga romantikong sine, ayoko nang umasa pa sa walang silbi.” ⠀ ⠀
