I found a Reddit post about MYSELF 😭
I am writing this because I literally just stumbled upon a post describing our exact encounter from his POV. Here is my side of the story:
So eto na nga. Since maaga pa after KTV, sabi ko try ko pumunta sa Koi kasi apparently doon daw nagmi-migrate ang mga nilalang pag Saturday night 💀
Pagdating ko? Dead atmosphere. As in wala akong na-feel na spark. Tapos yung receptionist, oo gwapo but medyo suplado energy.
At this point, medyo tipsy pa ako from earlier, and honestly ang goal ko lang talaga was: magpasingaw, mag-detox, mag-heal ng headache, at umiwas muna sa unnecessary human interaction. 🫢
So derecho ako steam room. Mga one hour akong nagpapakulo ng kaluluwa doon habang iniisip life decisions ko.
Tapos ayun na.
May mga zombies na gumagala.
Mga uhaw.
Mga naka-lock-on ang radar.
Mga tipong kahit silhouette mo lang nakita, may mission agad 😭
Pero wala ako sa mood. So very demure, very mindful, very “sorry po pass muna,” I politely declined everyone because girl, lasing pa ako and I was trying to reassemble my soul molecules.
Then after a while… may tumabi sa akin.
And syempre dahil steam room yun, wala kang makita kundi silhouette, vague muscles, imagination, at kasalanan. Hindi ko talaga siya maaninag nang maayos but surprisingly… he was NICE. Like, hindi agad predatory energy. Hindi bastos. Hindi aggressive.
He literally asked for consent first before touching me and honestly??? Bare minimum pero sa environment na yun, parang: Gentleman of the Year 🏆
Sabi ko: “Wait lang, medyo drunk pa ako.”
And instead na maging pushy, minassage niya lang ulo ko habang nagpapahinga kami dun. As in literal na forehead-and-scalp massage habang ako naka-exist lang sa steam room questioning reality. Weirdly enough, sobrang calming nung moment. Walang pressure. Walang weird energy. Plot twist talaga siya for the evening.
Fast forward to today: Nabasa ko sa Reddit may random post describing that exact encounter.
DOWN TO THE DETAILS.
• Yung lasing na guy.
• Yung steam room.
• Yung pag-massage sa ulo.
• Yung pag-ayaw mag-overstep ng boundaries.
ATE!!! AKO YUN!!! 😭😭😭
I was literally reading a stranger’s POV about our accidental wholesome steam room encounter like some missed-connections low budget indie film.
So now, I’m thinking: ilang tao na kaya ang naging part ng story ko without me realizing it? Eme.
