KaoMiah dishes on handling jealousy, expressing apologies in a relationship

Ever since the ABS-CBN Studios’ digital series “Halfmates” premiered last October, fervent shippers of Kaori Oinuma and Jeremiah Lisbo’s tandem, or more fondly known as “KaoMiah,” have been surely filled with kilig and happiness as fresh episodes drop every week.

As we delightfully follow the continuous development in the friendship of their characters, Dani and James on the show, as well as of Kaori and Jeremiah in real life, let us hear first their personal sentiments when it comes to the “How Tos of Love” in this video!

While there’s a song that states “sorry seems to be the hardest word,” that isn’t the case for Kaori and Jeremiah, who disclosed their ways of saying “sorry” to their loved one after a fight. Aside from expressing it verbally, Kaori also makes sure that her special someone will further feel her sincere apologies by giving them a flower. Similarly, Jeremiah would also genuinely apologize to his significant other and humbly own up to his mistakes.

With regard to surprising their partner during a special occasion, Jeremiah said that he will do it spontaneously, to the point that he won’t tell anyone close to her about it. Kaori seems to have the same answer by imparting that she will just invite her special someone to go on a date without telling him what exactly she’s about to do. She even giddily remarked how lucky her future partner is going to be since she has already come up with a bright idea of surprising him.

Meanwhile, when it comes to showing trust to their loved ones, Kaori shared that she displays it by being vulnerable to them. She explained, “As a person kasi, hindi ako open book. So, once na madaldal na ako sa’yo, OA na ako sa harapan mo, I trust you.”

Jeremiah, on the other hand, believes that “actions speak louder than words.” He elaborated, “Kahit naman hindi ka makipag-communicate sa loved one mo as long as ‘yong body language mo ay totoo, ‘yon ‘yon e. Sometimes, we just need to observe.”

While buying and giving gifts for a significant other is the most common way of expressing our love, KaoMiah agrees that having quality time is great, too, especially for celebrities like them who tend to be very busy with work.

And lastly, with regard to telling their loved one that they’re jealous, Kaori confessed that she’s not the confrontational type. However, his partner must expect her to ask a lot of questions about the person she’s jealous of, just for the sake of having some backstory about him/her and how their connection started—which she will do calmly.

On the other hand, Jeremiah will let his partner realize on her own what she’s doing. He explained, “Ako, hindi ko sasabihin na nagseselos ako. Hahayaan kitang magkaroon ng self-awareness sa ginagawa mo kasi malaki ka na eh. Alam mo na dapat ‘yong tama sa mali, alam mo na dapat ‘yong limitations mo, boundaries mo.”
