Photo by Anna Cerezo, ABS-CBN News</div>Seth Fedelin hinted Wednesday that he shares a closer relationship with onscreen partner Francine Diaz, as he refrained from directly addressing questions about their &quot;real score.&quot;“Kung ano real score namin, sa amin na lang &#x27;yun muna. Pero kung ano man kami, malayo na sa dati. Between the two of us muna,” he said during the press conference for their upcoming film “She Who Must Not be Named.&quot;When asked to elaborate what he meant by “malayo na,” Fedelin playfully replied, “Parang sa Bench,” referencing the viral moment when Francine Diaz kissed him on the cheek during the Bench fashion show.“Kasi ako tipong lalaki gusto ko may safety sa &#x27;kin ni girl. Pinapakita ko hindi ako nagmamadali, gusto ko may ginagawa ako. Kung ano estado namin kuntento ako. Doon muna ako nagfo-focus,“ he continued.Fedelin, however, hinted that he has thought about their future, teasing that he hopes to one day give his last name to Diaz.This came after he was asked what qualities matter more than someone&#x27;s name — a reference to the film&#x27;s plot, where the female lead had no name.“Commitment ng person towards me, alam ko hanggang saan yun… saka &#x27;yung apelyido kasi siyempre gusto ko palitan apelyido niya,” Fedelin said.  “Kung dadating tayo sa part na iyon? Ako pinaka-excited sa lahat. At sana masaksihan natin &#x27;yun. Isa &#x27;yun sa magiging pinaka-milestone,” he added.Diaz, meanwhile, shyly responded that she appreciates the comment.“To hear that from someone you know for a very long time, bilang babae, ang rare noon sa panahon ngayon. Sana hindi joke. I mean hindi forever na bata tayo, darating panahon you have to settle down and choose a life and person — all I am saying I appreciate that if that&#x27;s for me… I don’t know,” she said.“She Who Must Not Be Named” is set to hit cinemas on April 29.
