Mingyu did not know how he got lucky chancing upon Wonwoo in that dating app. He wasn't interested in social media, let alone a dating app. But here he are, sitting inside Basilica del Santo Nino, holding hands with Wonwoo in a prayer. When they first started talking, Mingyu didn't expect it'll blossom to something as beautiful as this. He thought they'll just be friends who flirt with each other for fun. But the more they talked, the more Mingyu longed to be in Wonwoo's arms.
When he realized this, he thought he'll be afraid. Sino ba naman ang hindi matatakot mahulog sa isang taong hindi mo kilala at nasa ibang parte pa ng mundo. Sure, Australia isn't that far from the Philippines, but still, it's not as if he'll just travel from Cubao to Fairview. But no. Fear was actually one of the least things he had to be worried about. Loving Wonwoo was easy as breathing; it was as effortless as opening his eyes after a complete 8-hour sleep.
Loving Wonwoo is the easiest decision he had to ever make. And he's glad he's here today, holding Wonwoo while talking to that Man up above.
"Thank you for this gift, really. I promise to cherish Your son the way You cherish him, Father. Thank you," it was the only prayer his heart could utter, but it has got to be one of his sincerest. "Thank you... so, so, much," Mingyu reiterated as he looked straight at Wonwoo's eyes. "I love you so much."
