Daniel Jupiter (Episode 0)

[Prologue: Throwing Emotions]

Daniel Jupiter looks like your average student. He's tall, he's dark, but he thinks he's not handsome. A normal college boy who wants to be a teacher someday. Wait, make that a Mathematician.

His head started to have hot airs since he solved the Mystery of the Who's-Boyfriend-is-Who. Well, he's friends with the couple now. But he acts like a Biologist, observing his guinea pigs on how do these love birds make it happen.

Monday, November 3. Daniel is practically bored. But he's too excited for the enrollment. But, then again, he was frustrated by the new enlistment rules. He thought that the "Enlistment with Ranking" was cool, but he thought about the "Intent to Enroll" otherwise.

Days passed as he snoozed. At the snap of his fingers, it was Wednesday. Enrollment. He woke up, expecting a lot of frustrations. And frustrations he met. He and his fellow Math Majors were trying to open a new section for the 3rd part of Abstract Algebra. But afternoon came, and their plan failed. The excuse was there was a lack of professors.

On the next day, he paid his tuition. On the line he met Katrina Halili, known as Kat, and Jewel Mische, known as Jel. The girls promptly cried by one of his nicknames, "El! El!" He cried back, then he went back again to the end of the line to have chitchat with his Theater classmates. After they had paid their tuition, they went to a mall to each and to watch a flick. High School Musical 3. Mixed emotions ran through Daniel's mind. At the end, all he said to himself was, "Cheesy love-thing."

That night, he can't sleep. He was waiting for his online buddy Y to send him an SMS since Y told him he's going to tell something to him. He forcibly opened his eyes until he received that message. His heart stirred, confused.

Friday passed but what he did that day is to beg his teacher to add him to the Korean class, where his teacher agreed. Well, he was to pay but he realized he was at the wrong line. Stupid non-risky being.

So basically, he's waiting for Monday to come.

That night, he cried. He confessed to Y, the second time, on what he feels. But he was aware that what he feels toward Y is not that romantic love. But unlike the previous people, Y did understand what he feels, and Y shared his own problems to El (Y also calls Daniel "El") the next night.

He was crying to God to direct him, to correct what he feels. But after that, he felt light. The feeling of mushiness has gone.

Then he prayed.

This Sunday, he was waiting an SMS from Y. But none came. It was not unusual, but Daniel did not understood. He decided to throw his soft side away, no matter how hard it is for him. Because at that moment, he understood, that friendship is not two-way.
