"So... everyone in this house knows about this?" he squeaked. Pepa and Julieta nodded at the same time. "Why are you guys telling me this now?"

Pepa shook her head. "Nevermind that," she cut him off. "All you gotta do is to speak with her," she adviced.

Bruno shook his head again. "¿Estás loco?" he shouted. Pepa and Julieta continued to stare at him. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to yell. It's just that..." he sighed, leaning his back on the wall as he frowned. "...she's so out of my league," he said, feeling defeated.

Pepa and Julieta looked at each other, frowning. Soon, the husbands came in with smiles on their faces. "Why's the mood in here so gloomy?" Agustin asked.

"Is this about (Y/N)?" Felix asked, slung his hand around Pepa's hip. Bruno groaned loudly at the mention of your name, feeling even more defeated. "So, it is," he confirmed.

Agustin approached Bruno and patted his shoulder. "Hey. Just know that you won't know what'll happen if you won't try," he adviced. Bruno continued to look down. Agustin began to think for a moment before getting an idea. He shouldered his arm gently. "The first time I tried to ask your sister out, I was such a nervous-wreck," he told.

Bruno slowly looked up at Agustin. "...Really?" he said slowly.

"I was, too!" Felix joined, startling everyone. He then put his fist on his chest, eyes shut tight. "How can I, an ordinary man, ask a goddess out for a date?" he recalled, stating. Pepa rolled her eyes with a smile on her lips, slung her arm around his shoulder.

Agustin nodded. "Your sister is as beautiful as I can remember. Until now, I can't believe we're actually together," he told. Julieta smiled as she wrapped her arms around Agustin's arms. Agustin smiled upon his wife.

Bruno smiled slowly. "You guys look good together," he said.

Pepa smiled. "Thank you. You know, it's still not too late. You can still be with her," she told.

"No one's out of anyone's league," Julieta confirmed with a firm nod.

Felix gave him an encouraging smile. "You can do it, mi amigó," he gave him a thumbs up.

Agustin patted his shoulder. "We'll be here when you need us," he adviced.

Bruno felt himself smiling and growing confidence as their words began pooling inside his mind. Then, he nodded firmly. "Thank you, guys," he hugged the group. The group hugged him back as tight. Then, he pulled away with a confident look. "I'm going to talk to her," he said.

The group cheered at his motivation. Bruno rubbed his sweaty palm on his ruana before making his way towards the front door. He toom a deep breath in and out. The group continuously examined his action, continuing encouraging him in their hearts.

Bruno set his palm on the doorknob and tiwsted it, pulling the door open. He completely froze on spot when he saw you smiled upon him, a hand was about to knock on the door.

"Hey, hi," you said quickly, nervously. You fixed the fruit basket in hands, cleaeing your throat. "Sorry for visiting so surprisingly. You know what? I think this is a bad idea," you told yourself quickly, turning away and began walking.

Bruno began to panic. He looked at his family, seeing them giving encouraging smiles. Brumo nodded firmly before chasing after you.

"Hey, no, come back!" he called.

You turned to him, looking down. "I'm so sorry for bothering you. I- I didn't mean to-"

"No, no. You're not bothering at all! Never in a million years!" Bruno cleared up.

You smiled at him and sighed in relief. "Really? Thank God," you looked at Bruno. You sheepishly handed him the fruit basket, looking away. "I, uh, brought you some fruits. I heard you liked oranges so, uh..." you cleared your throat. "I know this is so sudden, but can we talk? Like, walking together around the town... Just the two of us...?" you suggested, feeling yourself cringing though you had been practicing on asking him out for the millionth of time.

Bruno's eyes widened. He turned slowly and looked at his family nodding eagerly. Then, he turned back to you. He reached out to the fruit basket and held it in his hands. You looked up at him, still feeling nervous. Bruno began to smile.0

"I would love to. And, I do loves oranges, so, thank you. It helps with the migraine," he answered.

Your face began to brightened up. "Or so I heard. I hope it helps you lots," you said, hopefully.

"It will help a ton. Thank you," Bruno smiled.

You smiled back. You began walking which Bruno followed close.

The scene drifted towards the Madrigal's couples. The sound of your and Bruno's voice began fading as the both of you continue on chatting delightfully. The family smiled widely, feeling like the both of you had already clicked.
