]“Sana pag balik ni Klay sa present, makilala niya ang present Fidel huhuhu please lang,” they said.

“Fidel and Klay endgame sa present,” another netizen said with a crossed-finger emoji.

“Hoooy! FiLay talaga yan! Taga mo yan sa heart ko. Kasi sinaksak na ni Fidel ang puso ko dahil mukhang sila ni Klay ang endgame,” one netizen added.
