The ASEAN conference is as laid-back as always. Today was no different.
It was only a few minutes before the scheduled time for the meeting, most members of the ASEAN were seen having idle chit-chat. The few others who still haven’t arrived being Brunei and Malaysia.
Indonesia sat alone looking at his cracked vivo phone. His thumb idly scrolled as he stared at the Kaskus app on the screen. It looked like the country had too little sleep today and it’s no surprise some of his friends had caught on.
While the others were talking and discussing trending topics between countries, the olive-skinned man was absent-minded, only nodding mindlessly—sometimes closing his eyes to rest them.
Philippines held his selfie stick firmly as he struck a pose for the camera. His tarsier sat on his shoulder, eyes wide and adorable to the camera. Soon enough after taking a few pics, he was getting bored. He needed someone to take a selfie with.
Looking around the room, Thailand and Vietnam were talking—actually it seemed like everyone was busy with themselves.
Except, Indonesia
Approaching Indonesia from behind, the shorter male surprised Indonesia with his phone. His smile was wide and excited.
“Let’s take a picture together, Indo!”
Indonesia, still in his own head, sleepily stared at the Philippines. He couldn’t concentrate on what the male was talking about, only dreamily looking at the face of Philippines.
Philippines felt a little embarrassed at the stare of the taller male, actually not a little, but that was beside the point.
Why is Indonesia looking at him so intensely?
What if someone saw them and misinterpreted the situation-
“Hey Indo, quit staring at my face and look at the camera, ang tanga mo naman.” The Philippines jokingly said to him.
But Indonesia only blinked, finding the features of the filipino man far more interesting—unaware of his action and how close his face was to the Philippines. The shorter male could feel Indonesia just beside his face and oh god what is he so close for
Embarrassed, Philippines hurriedly hit the button and a selfie was taken.
Only then did Indonesia realize what he had done just a moment ago and in an instant, his face heated up.
Just as he was about to defend himself, the shorter male had already run off with his tarsier and his selfie stick.
Indonesia covered his warm face with his hands, embarrassed. He buried his face further in his hands when he heard the giggles of Vietnam and Thailand—having seen everything unfolded.
“Ya Ampun.”
