## Biography

### Background

Mayumi Phoebe Bonifacio was the second child and eldest daughter of Richard Bonifacio, a civil engineer and project director of Ayala Land, and Carmen Cadaval, a former research journalist. She was the younger sister of Miguel Perseus Bonifacio, and the older sister of Moises Percival Bonifacio and Margaret Psyche Bonifacio. Known as "Phoe" in the family, she lived in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines, with her parents, siblings and her maternal grandparents.

She was known to be an academically intelligent student who aced her school record and was regarded for her leadership skills; one of the reasons for her to be an accelerated student and be the youngest among her class being a year ahead. By her senior year in high school, she was her school's student council president and graduated as valedictorian.

At the same time, she entered in a relationship with Noah Cembrano, a schoolmate from her alma mater and a direct junior despite them being of the same age. Their relationship had been known by their school, though it had been their teachers' question how she fell in love with him. Though they've lasted three years, it had been a rocky relationship. She mentioned that Noah hadn't fully supported her intentions to be a pilot, and had been quite dominating and demanding. Despite rejecting him finally, the breaking point of their relationship had been when she was almost molested and sexually assaulted by him; and be saved by Miguel before anything could happen to them after being tipped off by her college friends. She decided not to file a case as it was useless, knowing Noah's family's connection; and instead, focused on healing herself by attending therapy. It had been noted that the reason her younger sister, Margaret, would later be a psychiatrist was because of her experience and her treatment; and one of the reasons why her mother decided to retire and be a full-time housewife instead. She balanced the sessions and her studies, which seemed not to be affected at all, as she liked keeping herself busy and doing things to avoid stressing or overthinking matters as that. Additionally, her friends became a huge support system of hers in the process.

She graduated college from PATTS College of Aeronautics as a Magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Air Transportation. At the same time, her older brother Miguel also finished at the same school with his second bachelor's degree with Aeronautical Engineering after graduating and being a licensed Mechanical Engineer. It had been noted that her siblings also remain on top of their own classes.

### Flight training

#### Ground school

Yumi took some time after graduation before enrolling to Wright Aviation Academy, as she noted that she also tried looking for a flight training opportunity in the USA before deciding to settle in the Philippines. Along with her parents, she canvassed through different flight training before choosing WAA, which was considered to be the most expensive and high-class flight training school in the country due to its additional A320 type rating training program. She became part of the Batch Foxtrot 2018, all of them starting on 05 November 2018, became close with majority of her batch mates, and caught the sight of Nikolai Xavier Verano, the enigmatic and handsome young man who also turned out to be her seatmate.

## Personality

Yumi considered herself plain-looking, about 5'3" to 5'5" in height, and with a slim figure. She has dark brown hair that shined like gold in the sunlight, dark brown eyes, and fair skin. She often had her hair tied in a high and tight ponytail with a blue ribbon that served as a trademark of hers. She first noted that she preferred being natural with her style; but slowly adapted a feminine look when she and Nikolai started dating. According to Nikolai, she had a countless moles spread over her body, especially on her arms, shoulders and back, as well as a few birthmarks that she considered imperfections but one she hinted to make her unique, perfect and beautiful. Apparently, many characters also noted her to be a beautiful woman.

Even after some years, it had been noted that she remained youthful-looking that had envied the public, and for her to appear almost like an older sister of her own children; though there had been a few marks of aging that had eld too many to consider her "aging like fine wine". Contrary to the public's opinion, Yumi didn't undergo any procedures to keep herself looking young, saying that it was due to her genetics as it was obvious to be the same case to other members of the family.

### Flight training

#### Ground school training

Yumi takes some time after graduation before enrolling to Wright Aviation Academy as a student pilot. She and her parents had canvased through different flight training before choosing WAA, considered to be the most expensive and high-class flight training school in the Philippines due to its additional A320 training program. She begins flight training with the rest of new cadets as part of Batch Foxtrot 2018, all of them starting on 5 November 2018. The first cadet she becomes close to had been her dormmate, Carina Guevara.

During the Welcoming Ceremony, Yumi sits with Carina, the rest of the girls of the batch: Christine Medel, Rylie Guinto, Nikki Macrohon and Ange Valdez; and the few other boys: Leo Garcia, Zander Agcaoili and Spencer Catindig. She starts introducing herself among them to break the tension before the program begins, just as Nikolai Verano arrives, introduces himself to her and the rest, and sits on their table. Ever since that time, Yumi becomes attached and wary of Nikolai that she even notes that after the program and she eats with her parents, Nikolai approaches them and introduces himself to her parents as well before heading off along with the rest of the batch for them to proceed on with the rest of their first day's start of training. Upon arrival to their assigned classroom, Nikolai also ends up to be Yumi's seatmate, as well as Eli Buenconsejo. The rest of the day ends up to be purely of reminders and introductions to them on what to expect for the succeeding months as cadets, and are also introduced to their direct upper batch: Batch Echo 2018, who've invited them for that night's informal briefing to be held at Dorm Hotel. She then approaches a College friend of hers, Azriel Cruz, and asks him about the informal briefing. Afterwards, Nikolai asks her about their relation and bids her goodbye.

During the evening informal briefing at Dorm Hotel with all their seniors who can attend the said affair, Yumi arrives along with Carina to meet their batchmates who've arrived early. They wait for Christine's arrival and that of Nikolai, being those who are running late. Yumi mentioned that they line up by height with the girls in front of the boys and Nikolai arrives just in time, appearing the sophisticated and rich boy he is with a Starbucks Teavana, opposite to the Starbucks coffee he has during the Welcoming Ceremony. She reveals during the informal briefing that she is a graduate of PATTS College of Aeronautics and a Magna Cum Laude of BS Air Transportation, and that she's from Cavite and she knows how to play musical instruments. However, upon finding a guitar, she disregards that she doesn't know how to play it, knowing that she'll be asked to perform a sample. Afterwards, they've been informed that they'll be having a formal meet-and-greet tomorrow as hosted by their direct upper batch.

The following day, during the formal meet-and-greet, Yumi sits along with Carina, Ange and Nikki with Yumi's friend Azriel and the latter's other batchmates. Sitting along with them had been Nikolai himself, who, to Yumi, seems to be ensuring that there's just friendship between her and Azriel. They are invited by their upper batch for a dinner meeting that night.

During the dinner meeting with their direct upper batch, Yumi sit alongside a College batchmate and Batch Echo 2018's batch president. The batch waits for two hours before their seniors had arrived, much to the dismay of everyone else. All the while that they wait on, the others had offered a smoke while Yumi remains with the others who do not smoke. By the time that their senior arrives, Yumi had been seated in between Tyrone Costales and Cedrik Quema, while Tristan Clemente, the batch president, sits across her since the seating arrangement had been agreed to be an alternate between the two batches. It is during the dinner that their seniors had started offering them alcoholic shots. By the second shot offered by Tyrone, Nikolai takes Yumi's shot instead. Their direct upper batch let them handle the bill, and before anything else, Nikolai pays it.

For the first weekend, Yumi's older brother, Miguel, picks her up from WAA with their cousin Marvin Macaraig. Before leaving, she talks with Nikolai regarding the necessary eight thousand pesos for their batch's informal meet-and-greet. On the way, Miguel asks her regarding Nikolai upon seeing them talking and bidding farewell with one another. She says that there's nothing between them.

At the time that their batch host their informal meet-and-greet at Pigs and Pints, Yumi arrives along with her batchmates who've also been staying at WAA's dormitory. During the event, she and the others had been placed into question and answers, and been invited for a shot by their upper batches. By the time she somehow manages to escape, she settles on to a bar for some water when she realizes that the one seated next to her had been Nikolai. She is instantly questioned why she is alone despite him telling her to remain next to the girls. She says that things had led to another and they've been separated, and she is actually hungry that Nikolai offered to treat her for dinner out, escaping the rest of the informal meet and greet.

The two spends dinner at a nearby food park wherein Yumi orders a ramen and Nikolai a platter of sushi, sashimi and maki, wherein all had been paid by Nikolai. During their dinner, the two of them converse about their interests and be interrupted by Nikolai answering a call from a contact named "Solynshka", whom Yumi notes to be Nikolai's girlfriend. After the call, Yumi tells him that he is no doubt to be part of the rich Verano clan and even manages to guess his possible net worth. On their way back to meet with their batchmates, Nikolai hands his coat for her to wear. Upon their return, it had been agreed that she and the others head home while Nikolai and a few others remain.

Yumi wake up still wearing Nikolai's coat and late the following morning but hadn't been tardy for classes. After all, no one from them had been so but those who've remained for the informal meet and greet later than she and others did—Nikolai, Christine, Sage, Marcus, Zander and Rylie are all catching up with sleep. Sage and Zander arrives later than Yumi did, and the two catch her and Ange asking Marcus about what had happened afterwards and also how much the expenses had been. Zander mentions that the remaining expenses had been shouldered by Nikolai with the use of his black card. Nikolai appears to be listening to their conversation and says that it is a Citi Ultima black card.

Before heading home for the weekend, Yumi insists to take Nikolai's coat to be brought to the dry-and-clean. In contrast to that, Nikolai takes her ribbon as part of the installment. Yumi, along with Carina and Leo, rides with Sage on their way to Manila. Sage informs them that Nikolai will be joining them next week, since he's heading home for Bulacan this weekend. Yumi is picked up by her father on the way home and upon arriving, she asks her parents regarding a dry-and-clean service for Nikolai's coat causing an inquiry among her family regarding their actual relationship. Later that evening, Nikolai messages her upon finding her number through their batch's Viber group. In return, she had dared stalking him through his social media accounts.

The following week, Yumi hands back Nikolai's newly dry-and-cleaned coat and notices that he had been working on some financial statement with Spencer's help concerning economics and stocks. Nikolai then asks him if she finds anything interesting over the weekend and he mentions that he knew that she'd stalked his social media account, especially Instagram. He then later reminds her about that afternoon's start of exercises. During the afternoon exercise, Yumi is not physically active that it had been a struggle for her. On the way back, Arturo Pineda, WAA's chief ground school instructor, had suggested to her to ask the boys for help, if ever. But then, Carina said that there was a secret love going on that the other girls had inquired about. And for the matter, the girls call for Nikolai's attention to ask him of what he thinks of Yumi. By the time they reach WAA, Nikolai tells him to start taking care of herself and calls her "Ptichka".

That same night, Yumi spends dinner with Carina, Spencer and Leo, as customary, at her and Carina's dorm. During dinner, Yumi checks the list of the aeronautical engineering board passers and finds her older brother, Miguel, being the top-notcher of the year's board. She immediately calls him to congratulate him, adding that even the others with her at the time had sent their congratulations, and in return, Miguel tells her to invite her batchmates for a celebration by month end that coincides with Moises's birthday. The rest of her batchmates also congratulated her brother after she posts a congratulatory note on her social media. Nikolai then messages him privately and inquires about her dinner.

The next night's dinner, Nikolai invites them for dinner at his condo; to which Rylie and Sage assure that it'll be fine since the two of them and Zander, Marcus and Kael had been spending dinner there prior. Yumi rides along with Nikolai after being told to accompany him, and before separating ways with the others, they say that they'll just be meeting one another at the lobby. Along the way, the two of them converse, and Yumi confronts him regarding his nickname to her being "Ptichka" which means "little bird" in Russian. Yumi counters him by calling him by his first name than his last name, which she had been doing all until this very time. They correct each other's pronunciation though with Yumi towards "Ptichka" and Nikolai towards "Phoebe". In return, Nikolai gives her another nickname: "Golubka".

Yumi and Nikolai meet with the others at the lobby, and by the time they've arrived in Nikolai's penthouse condo, Zander remembers that Yumi plays the piano and the others ask her for a sample. Nikolai had given her permission to play and the one that Yumi plays had been Beethoven's *Moonlight Sonata*, upon realizing that it is the same musical sheet that had been on the piano's stand. Zander and the others then draw closer to her to teach them to play *Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star*, while Rylie, Sage and Nikolai prepare their dinner. Yumi remembers the key card to Nikolai's condo that he had handed to her earlier but Nikolai just says that she better keep it. After dinner, the rest heads back to their dorms, except for Marcus, Zander and Sage, who'll be staying the night at Nikolai's condo for a drinking session as well; and Nikolai ushers them until the condo's lobby. All the while that the others have their smoke, Yumi is left to converse with Nikolai and they talk about his security. She then learns that Nikolai has an older brother, and even though he's the second son, he still manages a portion of their family business, too, as a helping hand.

The following morning, the rest had arrived at WAA at 4 am for their jump-off to Quezon City in order to take their NTC exams. Yumi and Nikolai sit side by side on the van on the way, occupying the back seat with Rylie on the other end. During the drive, when everyone had been sleeping, Yumi says that she can't sleep and listens on through classical music on the way, to which Nikolai had asked to listen to along, causing them to share earphones. Nikolai also offers to her again his coat to use, and he leans on to her as he sleeps. The batch had a stopover for breakfast, and as they continue on their way, Yumi notices that Nikolai starts looking on to their family business's projects.

Upon arriving at NTC Office in Quezon City, the batch was met by Nikolai's bodyguards and WAA's liaison, Joel Sullano. They are sent to their respective seats which is in alphabetized order. When Yumi receives her test paper and questionnaire, she notices that it has correct answers already, causing her to ask for the observer's attention. The observer only tells her to not mind the answers even if they are the right answers. Yumi's conscience will not even allow her to accept that it is considered acceptable to answer the test with a questionnaire bearing correct answers. After they finish the exam, they head back to Clark and on the way, Nikolai forces her to have some rest by leaning against his shoulder. She is hesitant at first but finally relents on and falls asleep.

Yumi and her batchmates were invited for the Pinning Ceremony of Batch Bravo 2018, by the time they arrive back to Clark. During the ceremony, Yumi and Christine talk about their plans for their own pinning right after their first solo later on. By the weekend, Yumi, along with Carina and Leo, carpools with Sage on the way back to Manila. This time, however, Nikolai is with them, serving as their driver of Sage's car due to the two's so-called contract. Yumi meets with her father before they head on to the Mall of Asia where the rest of the family are waiting to celebrate Miguel's passing of the board exam.

For their last EQC meeting, Yumi and her batchmates headed to WAA's Clark hangar to visit the workings and overview upon flight training. At the time that her batchmates had been eager to see the aircrafts, she remained by the hangar and had been asked by Capt. Francis Infante, their EQC ground school instructor, about why she doesn't appear interested. She informs him that she have her on-the-job training at the airport as a ramp agent assistant; hence, she already has a fair share of aircrafts which are airliner planes. That afternoon, Yumi finishes the EQC exam right away and they were dismissed much earlier than usual.

The batch had decided to prepare a dinner for their ground instructors as thanks after their afternoon exams that marked the end of their PPL Ground School and their practice for the upcoming Christmas Party. Yumi, Carina, Nikki and Ange are the first ones to arrive to the restaurant where they'll be treating their ground instructors, and had been assigned to order. Later on, they sit alongside one another, all the while Nikolai and Sage sat with them, too. Nikki intrigues Nikolai through his social media accounts after she and the girls had been teasing Yumi that the two are good to be together. During that time, Nikki asks what is Nikolai's type, only igniting their teasing.

The batch had their separate celebration after the dinner where they've decided to spend the night in a KTV at Wishing Well. When Yumi had decided to head to the restroom alone, she is surprised to find out that Nikolai had ensured that she'll remain safe. She then says that it is surely hard to avoid the presence of his bodyguards. Before they delve into the topic, Eli had called for Nikolai to talk about something. Before separating ways, Nikolai tells them that the thing that he and Eli had talked about where about Eli's decision to abdicate from being the batch's vice president but is truly force by the others to make Charles take the position.

Miguel and Ella fetch Yumi from WAA, and throughout the drive home, she shares to the two about what is going on in their batch. Upon arrival back home, seeing the celebration for Moises's birthday and Miguel's topnotch passing of the aeronautical engineering board. She is eating with Ella by the time her phone vibrates and she is surprised to see that Ange, Carina and Nikki had made a group chat with her, titled as "#TEAMNIKUMI". Aside from them linking the two prior for the group chat to be made, but it had been intrigued by Nikolai's post of a painting he recently finished titled as *Blue*. And in the photo, it also features her familiar blue ribbon that she remembered Nikolai had taken as part of an investment. Ella then asks her for her to stalk him, and she tells her that there is really something between Yumi and Nikolai. She isn't only being teased by the girls and Ella about her relationship with Nikolai, for even the rest of their batch does to even ask her about what she thinks of a birthday gift for him.

Yumi thinks of some gift for Nikolai even though there's no need for such. Instead, they prepare for their presentation for WAA's Christmas Party with a theme of "A Night of Mischief". Their batch decides to adapt the mafia style, using *The Godfather* as inspiration. Due to that, everyone dressed on the uniformed black suit and tie, sunglasses, fedora hat, leather gloves and suitcase; except for Christine, who is meant to portray an additional cabaret singer, and Nikolai, who is to act out as the mafia's boss. During their preparations, Yumi catches Nikolai in a phone call with his father, receiving countless remarks regarding their family business. For their Christmas Party celebration, they win the second place award and the "Most Mischievous Group of the Night" for their costume. Before the night ends, Yumi and the others who often spend dinner at Nikolai's condo invited Capt. Infante, Rylie's junior College schoolmate and their ground instructor for ECQ and Communications, for a celebration at Anchor's Bay. It ultimately shows the division of their batch since the others weren't invited.

On the way, Yumi rides along with Nikolai and she realizes that he'd been listening not only to classical music but as well as Christian songs. When she asks him for other songs, he says that he also enjoys ballad OPM, like Ben&Ben songs and said that his favorite had been *Bibingka* no matter how flirtatious it is to fall in love after nine days just because of the *Ama Namin*. She tells him that during her third year high school, they were asked to perform a particular song from their assigned musical, which had been *Lés Miserables*, to which she was a director and had provided accompaniment for *On My Own*. The two then talk about the song being sad for it is about a one-sided love.

Yumi and the group spend the night drinking with Capt. Infante who've asked them about their Christmas Party performance from earlier, the splitting of their batch, and of the reason why they've chosen to be pilots. When Zander had requested for a song with Nikki singing the song to the audience live, Nikolai asks Yumi if she sings to which she replies that she doesn't. Yumi jokes that he'll surely be singing by the time he court someone; and Nikolai remarks that he had already taken it down as a note. Afterwards, by two o'clock in the morning, Capt. Infante invites them to some porridge close to the mall before they all separate ways.

On the way home, by morning, Yumi, Carina and Leo ride with Sage on the way back to Manila, after the latter spending the rest of the time between their group separating ways until they leave WAA drinking at Nikolai's condo. While Carina and Leo are asleep, Sage asks him if there is something between her and Nikolai, and if there will be a chance if Nikolai will court her. She didn't answer and change the topic instead.

The following day, Yumi greets Nikolai a happy birthday but finds out that due to different time zones since he's heading to France for the holidays, it is yet to be his birthday. She then greets him another time on the same time that he is expected to arrive in Paris.

At the start of their CPL Ground School, Yumi and the rest of her batchmates continue with the rest of their room learnings. Timely, they are bound to no longer be the lowest batch with the arrival of a new one, Batch Alpha 2019, the following week. Upon her arrival, she finds out that Nikolai had brought souvenirs for all of them which are nougats. However, for Yumi, she receives a box of macarons instead since Nikolai tells her that he knew that she hate chocolates with almonds or nuts.

Nothing had changed with their scheduled routine as it replicates their PPL Ground School. The only difference had been the added subjects and much in-depth lessons for others. They also keep up with the routine of having dinner at Nikolai's condo, now with an assigned schedule for each of them to cook and wash the dishes. One time, Nikolai introduces to them his turtle pet; he says that the name of the turtle is "Poe". At that, everyone turns at Yumi since everyone knew that Nikolai calls Yumi as "Phoe". However, Nikolai explains that it is from "Edgar Allan Poe".

When the new batch had arrived, being their direct upper, Yumi and the rest of her batch deal on the matters very much the same that they've experienced from theirs. However, they've been much more lenient and compassionate to consider them as friends instead of being lower cadets. In meetings, they remain punctual, and the honorific of practicing courtesy had been dismissed when it had been just them present. Just as when they've asked for a dinner with their batch and the new one at Anchor's Bay that they've arrived on time and even split the bill compared to what they've encountered from Batch Echo 2018. During the drinking after dinner, Yumi and the girls, except for Christine and Rylie, had talked with the four girls of the newest batch. Adding to their list had been Leo and Nikolai, with the latter being much more in talks with Ria Cuevas. After the dinner as she and her batchmates head on to the porridge stall Capt. Infante had suggested to them, she rides along with Nikolai and inquired her College friends through chat about what she had just witness, to which they tell her that she is being jealous. Yumi try to perk a conversation with Nikolai concerning the Batch Alpha 2019, but had been directed then when he tell her that Carina informs him about the macarons that he had given her and promises that he'll be giving her macarons throughout the weekdays. In the end, before they head out for porridge, Nikolai says that he'll always be there for her and something in Russian that only troubles her much more if she is indeed falling in love with him already.

Yumi's College friends insist that she should've questioned Nikolai already about the truth after finding out that Nikolai had lent her his jacket another time; the only difference is that he didn't ask her to have it washed and dried. Just as Nikolai had promised, some macarons had been given to her for every dinner that they have in his condo. For the weekend, Yumi, Carina and Leo ride along with Sage and have Nikolai as their driver. By Paso de Blas, during the usual Friday traffic, Nikolai receives a call from his father. Based on the call and after what Nikolai had told them, it seems like his older brother had returned to the Philippines without any prior arrangement. By the time Yumi arrives home, Nikolai's brother, Dmitri Verano, became a trending topic in Twitter for being sighted in the airport earlier. Apparently, most of the tweets had been because of his family standing and for being handsome, too. Yumi texts Nikolai to check if he is doing okay but he didn't reply.

The following day, after Yumi and her family attend the Saturday's anticipated mass, Yumi receives notification from their Viber group sending "condolences" to Nikolai. By the time she arrives home and watches the television, it had been reported that Nikolai's brother had died early morning due to a car accident. To add, even Nikolai's name had trended in social media. Yumi decides to come along with Spencer the following afternoon to visit the wake before they head on back to WAA. Nikolai meets them by their arrival with Christine, Philipp, Charles and Axel. Sage and Rylie are expected to follow after them. Nikolai tells them about what had happened and when the others had asked to have some cigarette, leaving Yumi alone with Nikolai, Yumi urges him to rest. In the end, he ends up falling asleep while leaning on her shoulder.

The Batch come to an agreement to file a batch leave on Friday, for Nikolai's brother's funeral. They are surprised to find out that Nikolai had arrived for their ground school on that Monday morning even though he had been allowed to take leave. By lunch time, it had been decided for them who usually frequent Nikolai's condo for dinner, including Ange and Nikki this time, to have their lunch their upon finding out that food had been delivered there. While there, Nikolai reveals the truth behind his brother's death which is slightly altered for the media: that instead of dying in a car accident, his brother was already dying by the time he left his girlfriend's condo and drove the way home. Even his girlfriend had committed suicide to escape the crime.

The batch indeed attend the funeral of Nikolai's brother, and head on their way home. Yumi sends a message to Nikolai another condolence message. Nikolai didn't answer until it had been eleven in the evening that he replies to thank her and asks her if it is fine to call. During the call, Nikolai shares his doubts about his new and current position as the heir to the Verano Group of Companies that was supposed to be his brother's. Yumi assures him that everything will be alright in the future because God had planned it that way; and she'll always be supporting him in all he is going to do.

It isn't only Nikolai's life that had changed after the incident. Everything around Yumi and her batch had also changed. One time, when the others had been in a drinking session without Nikolai, who've attended his father's birthday, they discuss on the prospect that Nikolai's position as the new heir will also be mentioned. Later on, their conversation shift regarding Nikolai's relationship status, and Yumi had been questioned about what she feels: if Nikolai already has a girlfriend or not. At that Sage and Zander bet whether Nikolai has a girlfriend, Sage betting that there isn't and Zander saying that there is. However, the rest of the batch continue insisting that Yumi and Nikolai will certainly be the batch couple of Foxtrot 2018.

It is just as the batch had predicted: Nikolai had been also announced to be the next heir of the Verano Group of Companies that had led for him to be part of the trending news. Yumi and Nikolai then talk about one article about him and the last trivia says that he has no girlfriend, which he says to be the truth.

For the end of their CPL ground school, the batch decides to order some SnR pizzas for their ground instructors and they celebrated at Frado's KTV just like when they've finished their private pilot license ground school. At that time, Nikolai confronts Yumi about what had happened when she and the others had a drinking session when Nikolai was absent for Nikolai's father's birthday, and figures about Zander and Sage's bet regarding his relationship status. Later on, she also asks him about the reason why he had named his turtle as "Poe", to which he replies to be because of an English project wherein he needs to memorize *Annabel Lee*, a poem made by Edgar Allan Poe, and it is also the same time that he earned Poe the turtle as a pet. Yumi shifts the discussion back to him that he had been allowed to join them for such a gathering as that, and he says that it is only acceptable that he is, since he is just the heir and not yet the head. And when asks about his opinion about that, he had never wished for it since he grew up agreeing that his older brother is the best fit. However, things happened and later on, Nikolai says that Yumi has a pure heart, in which she doubts to be true. When they are about to pay the bills, Nikolai had offered to be the one to pay it as his treat to the batch; Yumi calls him "Swiper" as if that will stop him, as a counter to when he calls her "Squirtle". As the following day coincides with Valentine's Day, before leaving one another, Yumi gives a hug to everyone else, and even chases after Nikolai who hates hugs. Nikolai gives her a hug instead and greets her a "Happy Valentines" in French, before finally allowing her to embrace him back as well.

After their CPL ground school, they receive announcement regarding an upcoming CAAP examinations to be held in WAA. Also, all the while they are waiting for their deployment, they are to accomplish their ALSIM and their so-called radio duties in Clark to oversee their seniors during their flights. Yumi is in the same group as Carina, Nikki and Ange for their ALSIM schedule days before their CAAP examination, and such schedules vary from morning until midnight. One time, during their ALSIM schedule set for after lunch, Nikolai invites her and the others for some brunch, waking her up. Aside from that, Nikolai orders a Java Chip Frappuccino from Starbucks for her as his thanks for helping him study for the CAAP exams. When they meet, Nikolai mentions that Yumi is known to be very good with aircraft handling based on the recent ALSIM sessions as what he'd heard from Carina and the others. On their way to Marquee Mall where they'll be eating with Carina and Ange before their ALSIM schedule, Nikolai, being drove by his bodyguard and driver this time, asks her about her interest with Chinese food, to which Yumi mentions that she likes Japanese foods much more and her family isn't interested with trying other foreign cuisines. Nikolai then tells her that perhaps, he may asked after the CAAP exams for them to eat at a Chinese restaurant in Clark.

Yumi finishes the ten subjects of CAAP exams on the second day, and when Nikolai messages him if she can accompany him with reviewing, she agrees. She is surprise, however, by the time she arrives at the classroom to find Nikolai with his bodyguard, and a present of macarons and tea for Nikolai and her to share as a gift for being able to perfect the Navigation exam, the subject that everyone had been saying to be the hardest to take.

The two spend some tea and macarons all the while Yumi helps Nikolai with reviewing for his remaining CAAP subjects to examine. On the last day of their ALSIM schedule, Nikolai invites them for breakfast but the others decline. In the end, only Yumi and Nikolai had breakfast at the Chinese restaurant Fortune. Upon returning to WAA, Nikolai hands a box of chocolate cake with macaron toppings as his birthday gift for her. Afterwards, she starts receiving greetings from the rest of the batch through Viber and Messenger, and the girls reveal to her that Nikolai had asked them to let him greet her first than them.

During the time that they are waiting for their deployment for their pre-solo trainings at Subic, the batch had been assigned for their radio duty in WAA's Clark base as a practice to speaking and reading back over the radio. Afterwards, they receive information about the details of their deployment and hands the responsibilities of the radio duty to their direct lower batch.

#### Pre-solo training

For their pre-solo training, the Batch Foxtrot 2018 is sent to Subic. Due to some misunderstanding, the villa assigned for the boys isn't prepared yet and the entire batch needs to deal with staying in the girls' villa for the night. Because of all the hassle of moving in and everything, they decide to spent dinner outside and to buy groceries for their stay. Yumi accompanies Nikolai in his car, an SUV Audi Q8 this time compared to the one he had been using back then in Clark; and he introduces her to his car named "Corbeau", and adds that the other car's name is "Rougir". Nikolai accompanies her during the grocery shopping that limited the processed foods she is supposed to buy because he will not allow her to, and insists that she must eat healthier foods than such. Also, Nikolai pays the grocery before she can even pay.

After their grocery shopping and the entire batch heads back to their villa, Yumi receives a message from the group chat with the girls who've sent her captured photos of her and Nikolai at the grocery. They continue teasing her about the probability that there could be something else more between them.

Yumi wakes up earlier than expected the following day that lead her to prepare coffee for herself, but had been surprised to find out that Nikolai is also awake and had been preparing coffee for him as well. Nikolai offers to make her a coffee he personally blends and as Yumi waits for him, she realizes that it seems like Nikolai had been busy juggling his work in helping with his family conglomerate business at the same time with flight training. They decide to have their coffee outside the villa in order not to wake the others, and Yumi comments that Nikolai's brewed coffee tastes like Starbucks' Caramel Macchiato, which is her favorite. Yumi also mentions that she is more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker, to which Nikolai agrees, and she adds that it is better to be matched with sweets, enumerating then her favorites. Afterwards, the two of them prepare breakfast for the batch, causing them to tease her and Nikolai by calling them "Mommy" and "Daddy", respectively.

The following day, the boys evacuate the girls' villa and settle on their owns, separated into two groups. It had been agreed that the group who've been eating in Nikolai's condominium during ground school, with an additional to Nikki, will be eating still as a group, and their had been a rotation to the one who is to prepare dinner for them all. Another thing, the batch gathers in the girls' villa to meet with their flight instructors for a briefing that evening; for they've failed to report at the flight line due to the incident with the villas yesterday. It is also such time that they meet with their instructors, and receive their flight instructor assignments.

Yumi is assigned to Capt. Byron Felix Corpuz as her primary flight instructor, the same as Nikolai's; and Capt. Kayden Manalang as her secondary flight instructor, Christine and Zander's primary and Carina's secondary. Not all flight instructors are present, including Capt. Corpuz; but Capt. Manalang had been present and the four of them introduce themselves to him after the briefing.

For their observation flights, the batch decides to have a draw-lots for it. Yumi picks up second, while Nikolai takes the first. The day after tomorrow, flight schedule had been released and Yumi was assigned as an observation flight student to Cadet Ezra Capistrano's CPL lessons with Capt. Oliver Ponferrada. Before the flight, Capt. Ponferrada briefed Cadet Capistrano for the flight, and allowed Yumi to join; to where she was asked about few things concerning basic knowledge of the C172, before proceeding to make a 360 inspection. Yumi manages to impress both Capt. Ponferrada and Cadet Capistrano upon answering the questions asked of her. After the flight, Yumi mentions experiencing dizziness, and had received a flight schedule at once for tomorrow with Capt. Corpuz.

For the flight, Capt. Corpuz calls for her and signs her prepared flight plan and orders her to prepare their aircraft and flight, adding to take him to Morong and Bagac, Bataan and to expect doing turns and stalls for their first lesson. Under the tutelage of Capt. Corpuz for the first lesson, Yumi gets a good grasp of the primary maneuvers necessary for flying. He teaches her the traffic pattern and communications necessary for each frequencies, and praises her good handling. Aside from that, Capt. Corpuz tells her that students trained in Subic for their first solo are competent when it comes to crosswind landings and sudden updrafts and downdrafts in airwork areas.

That evening, the rest had been asking those who've already managed to have their first flight about another round of handflow with the starting of the engine. Yumi realizes that Nikolai decides to study on his own than be with the others, and finds him outside about to take his IQOS, and she offers to aid him with the handflow and give insight with how her flight with Capt. Corpuz had been. Nikolai even agrees to help him out with the handflow and due to the lack of resources, he offers to allow her to sit on his lap, which only makes their interaction a little awkward. Later that evening, the two exchange messages about it, finding the situation indeed awkward; before ending their conversation, Yumi bids him good luck for his flight with Capt. Corpuz the following day.

Yumi's second flight is with Capt. Kayden Manalang, and had only been scheduled a week after. Slowly, she and the rest of the batch manage to adjust to their flight instructors and with their stay in Subic. Her third flight is with Capt. Manalang, and her fourth flight is with Capt. Elijah Parungao which had been scheduled on the same day, in successive hours and with different aircraft. She manages to pass both schedules. A few days later, an impending thunderstorm suspends most of their flights, resulting for them to think of filing a leave.

One night, Marcus just blurts out that he missed macaroni soup, especially that of his mother's cooking that results for him to decide in heading home upon finding out that he has no schedule for the following day. For the rest who've stayed in Subic, they decide to cook their own. The following day, Yumi decides to head out to buy the ingredients but had been accompanied by Nikolai to the grocery, along with Leo. During their grocery shopping, Leo leaves the two of them as he buys his own things and Nikolai remains next to her. At that time, an elderly couple notice them and comment that they are a good match to one another. After buying the necessary items, the three of them return to cook the soup. During dinner, Carina and Rylie tease them by calling them "Daddy" and "Mommy". The teasing continues, until it had been the entire batch who've been calling them that.

One time, during Cristofer's birthday celebration, the batch watches *John Wick III*, and at that time, a list of each batch members' role as a one huge family had been unveiled, placing both Yumi and Nikolai as their parents. Later that evening, the two of them converses about it; surprisingly, Nikolai joins in and calls her "Mommy".

As Yumi's lessons continue without any hitch just like the rest of the batch, Yumi slowly settles to finally having a good grasp of flying. One time, for her supposed to be lessons, she had been told to just return back home since the weather conditions aren't meant for PPL lessons. The flights had then been canceled due to weather, and Yumi rides along with Nikolai to head back to their villa. Nikolai then invites her for lunch at Rali's Restaurant, considering that it is his treat. While waiting for their orders, the two of them converse about the progress of their flight training, especially concerning their troubles about their impending first solo flights. During their meal, they received a message from their batch's Viber group regarding a Pre-First Solo Exam to be held that evening.

When Nikolai and Yumi returns to their villa, they find the rest of the batch studying for their Pre-First Solo Exam. Only a few manages to pass, including Yumi and Nikolai. Before Capt. Corpuz returns back to La Union, he informs them that he's going to fly with them another time; this time, in preparation for their first solos hence the traffic pattern lessons than airworks. Unfortunately, Yumi has a hard time succeeding in making an acceptable traffic pattern. Yumi had filed a few days leave after that, and received a message concerning the things she needs to improve. Capt. Corpuz even suggests for her and Nikolai to discuss the things they need to improve together over the prospect of a coffee date.

By the time Yumi returns, she learns that Spencer had successfully made his first solo, and had invited the entire batch for some drinking session as celebration. When Yumi returned to Subic for the celebration, she had decided to drink to her heart's content and even rejected the offer of a chaser. Almost by midnight, Yumi receives a call from her brother's classmate and her elementary crush, Architect Cade Hernandez. Cade asks her to give a recommendation for his application to Verano Development Corporation upon finding out that she's friends with the heir of the Verano Group of Companies. Yumi agrees to help him.

Yumi admits that there is a blank on her memory about what happened after her conversation with Cade. The next time that she had a flight, Capt. Corpuz tells her that he'll be sending remarks to her and Nikolai for them to improve. Before dismissing them, Capt. Benjamin Centino informs Capt. Corpuz that there are too many stories about her and Nikolai that will make their primary flight instructor proud of them as a pair. Due to that, they are told to have a coffee date to discuss their flaws and even send a picture of them together. She and Nikolai agrees to have their coffee date the following day to discuss Capt. Corpuz's recommendations.

During the coffee date with Nikolai, he asks her about what she requests of him when she was drunk during the celebration of Spencer's first solo. She learns that due to her drunkenness, she asks him to hire Cade to Verano Development Corporation and accept his proposal. Yumi then remembers all that she told him during that time, and before she embarrasses herself much more, Nikolai's father called for him.

A day later, Nikolai informs her and the rest of the batch that his father wishes to meet with them for a dinner at the Subic Yacht Club. They aren't able to decline as Nikolai's father had been insistent in meeting them. After the flight, Yumi rides along with Nikolai to the dinner as the others had headed right away, since the two of them are part of the day's closing flight. During the dinner, Yumi sits next to Nikolai and the rest of the girls being the closest to be seated as well with Nikolai's father. Due to that, Yumi and the girls are those frequently asked by Nikolai's father, and had focused his attention on her, too, with great interest.

A few days later, Nikolai had his first solo and Yumi decides to use that moment to shot creative videos for their batch's first solo compilation that will be used for their pinning ceremony. Afterwards, Nikolai invites the entire batch for another dinner. This time, with the rest of the flight instructors as per invited by his parents and younger sister as a celebration for his first solo. During dinner, Yumi sits next to Nikolai's mother and sister, and she finds out later on that it is his sister whom he calls "Solynshka". At the end of the dinner, Nikolai tells her that his family likes her.

Yumi's next flight had ended to be with Capt. Leroy Ancheta, and as the others have mentioned, she failed the lesson for the first time. Yumi is dismayed by what happened, and in order to cheer her up, Nikolai invites her for a horseback riding the following day. After, it coincides with Leo, Charles and Marcus's first solo that they decide to watch the event at the roadside where the end of the runway 07 is. Yumi admits that she feels like she is failing after what happened, and Nikolai confronts her that it isn't the case at all: saying that she is by far greater than she thinks of herself to be.

It takes a few more days before Yumi successfully managed to gain the confidence of her flight instructors to release her for her first solo. However, many of their batchmates, including Nikolai who've already finished theirs and their resolos, are force to head home; leaving only a handful of them present. On 15 July 2019, Yumi had her first solo after being released by Capt. Ponferrada. She is surprised to find out that Nikolai is present to witness her first solo, had been the one to carry her, and for her to be showered by her wish flowers than anything else. For the celebration, she, Ange and Erick decide to celebrate with a bilao of pancit than the usual pizzas, and Kael and Nikolai help them with the orders. Afterwards, Nikolai offers Yumi a ride back to their villa, and asks her if he could change clothes before leaving. They bid one another farewell to meet one another during their Pinning Ceremony.

During the Pinning Ceremony, Yumi, aside from her parents, and her aunt and cousin, she also invites two of her best friends: Roza and Cathryl, for the celebration. Before the actual event, she tells her friends that she is planning to tell Nikolai her true feelings. She backs out at the last minute; however, during her ramblings from the restroom, during the event, she crosses paths with Nikolai, who've heard everything.

#### PPL build-time

Yumi admits that she had been insecure ever since what happened during the Pinning Ceremony, and predicted things to be awkward by their batch's redeployment at Iba, Zambales for their PPL build-time necessary for their PPL Checkride. The first one who've noticed her and Nikolai's awkwardness to one another had been Rylie, her roommate this time. Rylie assures her that she have the entire batch if ever there's a rift between her and Nikolai. It had been evident that no matter how Nikolai tries to approach her, she keeps pushing him away.

Yumi tries to avoid Nikolai, which had been an easy feat for her. Until one planned flight of hers to Vigan that Capt. Delmar Tanyag that asks her to inquire Nikolai for a navigation log to Vigan. However, their discussion is only about the necessary flights and she finds out that Nikolai is to remain overnight at Laoag. Despite having flights on the morning of the same day, neither from them had seen one another. After Yumi's flight, she is invited by the rest of the batch to head to Subic just to eat at Romantic Baboy, for Rylie had been craving some *samgyupsal*. Nikolai remains at Laoag for the next three days after that before returning back to Iba, and as a celebration for those who've already completed their PPL lessons, the batch decides to head to the seashore with bottles of alcoholic drinks of their own. At that time, Nikolai asks her what had led for them astray with one another.

For her last lesson for PPL and before the checkride, Yumi flies with Capt. Tanyag from Iba to Subic for a remain-overnight with Nikki and Carina and their flight instructors. The following morning, the three of them flies for a cross-country flight with their respective flight instructors before returning back to Subic at once due to the closure of the airport due to a typhoon. It had been the idea and the three of them, their flight instructors, as well as Philipp and his flight instructor who've been stuck at Subic, travel back to Iba via a van before finally heading home that same day. By the time she reaches home, she texts Nikolai, who also replied a "Good night", implying that they are once again communicating.

It so happens that before Yumi's completion of her PPL lessons, she and Nikolai had settled what happened and mended their relationship when the batch had been drinking beer by the sea shore at Iba in celebration of their latest achievement. Their conversation ends in a compromise to start over again, this time being honest about liking one another. It is also hinted that it had been the start of Nikolai's courtship.

The batch then heads on to have an ATPL Ground School, and at the end of their ATPL Ground School, by December, they decide to take their Jungle and Water Survival Training at Peace Kamp that Yumi isn't enthusiastic about.

The Batch is divided into three groups for the start of their Jungle Survival Training that involves hiking. Nikolai is part of her group, and tells her that if she ever needs help, he'll be there to assist her. Later that evening, the two of them converse about the future of their relationship, hinting that Nikolai is already courting her for quite some time.

For New Year's Eve, Yumi has a video call with Nikolai as the two of them greet one another and show a glimpse of how their families spend the event. In a flashback scene, it had been indirectly mentioned that they've been together since Nikolai asks her to be his girlfriend on his birthday, right after their batch's Jungle and Water Survival. By New Year, Nikolai posts a blurred picture of his painting that earns the batch asking who is the lucky girl.

#### CPL build-time

For their CPL build-time, their batch had been grouped into three to be deployed to different stations. In order to not raise suspicions about their relationship, Yumi and Nikolai decide to be deployed to different stations; Yumi at Subic, Zambales and Nikolai at San Fernando, La Union. Before heading to their respective stations, the two meet one another on their way. Nikolai gifts her a bouquet of roses and lilies, a box of macarons, and a turtle stuffed toy. They continue keeping their relationship from the others as they make up excuses in order to keep in touch with one another.

Yumi is with a few others at Subic, namely: Nikki, Cristofer, Philipp, Charles, Marcus and Zander. Whenever she can evade the others, Yumi talks with Nikolai to discuss how they are doing for the past few days. During one conversation, the two of them talk about their planned leave due to family gatherings and events. As usual, the two assures one another that they're one another's soulmates.

With their leaves approved, both Nikolai and Yumi agrees on spending a few days with both of their families. Yumi had been picked up by her older brother, Miguel, who've recently returned to the Philippines for the celebrations, and he is surprised to find out that their parents had favored Nikolai and even agreed for Yumi to spend a few days with the Verano family. Yumi informs him that it is Nikolai who've sought permission from their parents, and in return, due to their relationship, she invites him to stay with them after the celebration of their cousin, Madeline's, debut. During the drive, Miguel tells her that he's going to "challenge" Nikolai and ensure that he is the perfect guy for her. When Nikolai attends Madeline's debut, Yumi is surprised to find out that he is already close with her younger siblings and her cousins, and had been under quite a scrutiny by Miguel.

Yumi's side of the family praises Nikolai for being too ordinary and humble, almost too good to be true. However, the following day that he spends a night with her immediate family, her father and brother ensure to drag Nikolai for some grocery shopping. Surprisingly, when they return, Yumi asking how it ends up to be spending hours with her father and brother, Nikolai jokes that it will be better to have sons as their children than daughters: because if they have daughters, he doubts that he'll allow them to marry; but if they'll have sons, he'll teach them how to be able to charm and have the girls they intend to be with. Later on, Yumi watches how Nikolai converses with her father and brother another time. Yumi asks Nikolai what they talk about on their way to Nikolai's family, and he says that they've already accepted their relationship when they've gave him a childhood photo of hers. She then receives a message from Miguel saying to take care and enjoy, and remember that he loves her and he is happy that she is happy.

Yumi stays with Nikolai's family and had been warmly welcomed by them. Nikolai's mother and sister invite her for shopping the morning of Nikolai's father's birthday celebration. Nikolai assures her that she will be fine and that his family truly supports their relationship, even by the rest of his relatives after introducing her to them during the event.

Yumi and Xav continues to hide their relationship from their batchmates. On their second monthsary, Nikolai posts another painting of his entitled *Un amour qui était plus que de l'amour*; and they are ask by the batch about it. However, they keep their mouths shut still. For Valentine's Day, when both of them had been scheduled for a flight with Yumi and Capt. Manalang, and Nikolai and Capt. Corpuz, they agree that if ever their flight instructors ask them about what's the real deal between them, they're to tell the truth; since they've decided to both head on to Vigan for that flight and stay for a few hours there for lunch. As they agreed upon, they've informed their flight instructors about it. For lunch, they head to a popular empanada restaurant, buying a takeaway for their batchmates at their stations, and spend the rest of the remaining hours at Calle Crisologo.

By the time they make it back to the airport, Capt. Corpuz and Capt. Manalang tell them to stay put and wait for them before they all conduct a 360 inspection before heading out. Their flight instructors invite Nikolai for a smoke, but the latter declines by saying that he no longer smokes. When Yumi asks him about it, he says that he had decided to officially stop smoking, and even throw his IQOS and vape at a trash bin; for one of his reasons is because smoking is considered a taboo in Yumi's family. Before heading back with their flight, Nikolai hugs her and two of them exchange greetings and kisses on one another's cheeks, which is a French custom. Before the day ends, they receive a flood of notifications about the truth regarding their relationship since their flight instructors had posted a selfie, tagging Yumi and Nikolai, and of them becoming "third-wheel" for their Vigan date.

Despite the inquiries, Yumi and Nikolai didn't say anything about them being in a relationship, at the same time that they didn't deny it. A few days later, Yumi and Philipp finds Xav at Iba Airport. Yumi and Capt. Manalang encounter an engine vibration in flight and decides to land at Iba for the mechanics to check what could be the problem; Philipp and Capt. Gica are there for a stop-over but ends up having to stay due to a dipstick falling in the fuel tank when the mechanic had been checking the remaining fuel quantity after parking; and Nikolai and Capt. Corpuz just landed to spend some hours. Their aircraft had been ready and fixed just in time that they are able to commence their scheduled and intended flights; however, Philipp tells them that they are just avoiding causing more inquiries about their relationship when it had been evident already.

Yumi finishes the necessary 150 hours before RNAV two days before her birthday. In celebration of her birthday, Nikolai surprises her with a three-day and two-night stay at Kamana Sanctuary Spa and Resort at Subic, Zambales; with a permission he had received from her parents. They have a separate room just to maintain both of their parents' trust on them that they'll be responsible. On Yumi's actual birthday, Nikolai brings her to St. Joseph Church to attend the morning mass before heading to San Antonio where they head on to Capones Island, Anawangin Cove and Nagsasa Cove. By the time they return to the hotel, Nikolai surprises her with a birthday cake he had made and some wine. At that, Nikolai admits that he knows her greatest fears and what happened during her last relationship, since her father and brother had told him about it; he assures her that he's different and he'll forever try proving it to her. Yumi then replies that he will always be her greatest leap of faith.

Yumi wakes up the following morning after spending their first night together with Nikolai, and finds him watching her. She suddenly remembers her discoveries from last night about Nikolai's scars. Due to that, Yumi remarks that she didn't know how his parents managed to deal with him as a child, to which Nikolai retorts that it is the reason he had been telling her that he prefers children who'll be like her instead. Nikolai assures her that he will ask for her marriage in due time.

Nikolai has another gift for Yumi's birthday. He gives to her a painting entitled *Un amour qui était plus que de l'amour*, a painting that she initially had seen half-way done before. During their ride back to Clark, Yumi and Nikolai agree to drop the bomb already that they are in a relationship by Yumi posting the completed painting and Nikolai posting a quick sketch of Yumi that he had finished over breakfast with a caption "Good morning, zolottse". Due to that, the batch and everyone close to them had sent their congratulations and questions about when they've been together. The batch even had revealed that they have a bet among themselves about when the two had been in a relationship; however, when they announce that they've been together since December, no one had managed to guess it correctly.

Afterwards, they head to his condo at Clark for their RNAV ALSIM training. They are expected to be joined with a few of their batch mates who'll be staying with them for the duration of the ALSIM. Yumi is in the same group as Nikolai, Angelique, Kael, Christine and Zander for their ALSIM schedule; while the others are group to two others. After their ALSIM schedule and RNAV training at La Union, the two attend Yumi's mother's birthday before heading to La Union to spend Christine's birthday at their house. The two of them stay at Poro Point Thunderbird, and during their way to the resort, they talk about their intentions of the future after their training as Nikolai proposes for them to discuss.

Yumi is caught off guard with Nikolai's suggestion about them discussing their future together, starting with marriage; and Yumi assures him that she plans to seek a career with the aviation industry first before all of that, since Nikolai is also planning to take a course abroad that will be helpful as a credential for him taking over their family business. The following morning, Yumi informs Nikolai that aside from the batch's plans to visit tourist spots in La Union, Christine announces her resignation as their batch's president and her leave from flying due to pregnancy. Aside from that, Yumi also receives a sudden friend request from Kierra Cabrera, Cristofer's girlfriend, on Facebook; and she finds out that she's also pregnant.

Yumi and Nikolai discuss the situation, and decides to get back at Cristofer for what he did last January wherein the latter tried courting Yumi in the time that he and Kierra are in a cool-off phase. Nikolai is aware of it already, and the two of them decide since then to prove that they are happy and in love with one another.

When the Batch had been deployed to Laoag for their Instrument Rating training, it had been evident that their relationship towards Cristofer had became strained. Yumi stays with Nikolai at the latter's family rest house at Paoay for the week-long stay at Laoag. For the first and last days, the rest of their batchmates had invaded their privacy at the rest house.

After the completion of their Instrument Rating, Yumi and the others wait for their CPL checkride and IR checkride before completing the remaining hours necessary for their two hundred flight hours. And afterwards, they decide in taking the rest of their Airbus A320 training.

#### A320 training

Yumi pairs up with Nikolai for their A320 training, and she stays with him at his condo. They start their training with the rest of the batch that begins with a Computer Based Training (CBT). During one of their CBT sessions, Christine tells them that she is returning back with training. Afterwards, they take the Airbus A320 ground school, have the CAAP's Theoretical Knowledge Exam for the A320, before continuing to take the Integrated Procedure Trainer (IPT), Fixed Based Simulator (FBS) and Full Flight Simulator (FFS).

After Yumi takes her CAAP's Theoretical Knowledge Exam, Nikolai drives her home as they are set to celebrate Yumi's mother's birthday and he had been invited. The day coincides with Yumi's first solo's first anniversary that led Nikolai to give her a bouquet of her favorite red roses and white stargazer lilies. However, by the time they've arrived at the Bonifacio family's house, Yumi recognizes that her ex-boyfriend, Noah Cembrano, is also there. Noah had been there to try courting Yumi back, but Nikolai, provoked by his delusions, fights back; just on time for Yumi's parents to make it out of the house to usher her in and for Nikolai's bodyguards to intrude. A few minutes later, Nikolai addresses Yumi and her parents in her room, and the latter had given them privacy to talk. Nikolai tells her that the police had already handled the situation, and he is willing to help her file a restraining order against Noah, leading for him to reveal to her that her parents had been keeping threatening letters by her ex-boyfriend addressed to her. Nikolai then comforts her that she truly loves her, and Yumi retorts that he'll always be her "greatest leap of faith".

Nikolai offers her to make an appointment with a psychiatrist, which Yumi accepts since she isn't new to it. She, with the help of Nikolai, finds a psychiatrist at Clark for them to continue their training still. At the same time, the TRO had been finalized that seemed to ease them down. Nikolai then proposes for them to publicized their relationship; despite having its cons, it is a move that Nikolai and his family sees will at least protect Yumi from other backlashes. To add, Nikolai mentions that why should they be bothered by others' words when they are truly in love with one another. Yumi then tells him that Nikolai should tell her by the time that he starts falling out of love with her; to which Nikolai counters that it will be impossible to happen since he'll just fall in love deeper than to go back. He also tells her that he is willing to wait for her until she is ready, but not too long since he wants to have kids with her. Yumi assures her that it will not be that long, but wait for her until she manages to love aviation enough; to which, he also agrees that the sky is indeed lovable.

After the announcement of her relationship with Nikolai during Yana's debut and be introduced to Nikolai's family, there had been too many news article and gossips that surround her. However, Nikolai had ensured that his family's PR will handle the degrading rumors and fake news about Yumi, which she only finds out when she sees an e-mail address to Nikolai one morning. Nikolai assures her that she'll never be a weakness to him because everything has been better since meeting her. As their training continues, their close circle among the batch often has dinner at Nikolai's condo. One time, they discuss about the possibility of Nikolai's idea to make an airlines on their own; to which, Nikolai answers that it is in the talks and he is proposing it to be their batch's agenda after graduation.

Batch Foxtrot 2018 completes their training until Airbus A320 on September 2020, which concludes with a graduation ceremony and changing of epaulettes to three bars. As planned, the batch are to celebrate their completion with a three days trip to Boracay. Before that, Nikolai invites Yumi to join him for an overnight stay at Cebu since he has some things to inspect beforehand. A few weeks later, they have their check rides for an A320 license; however, Nikolai had failed to take it since he had already started his studies as a student of UCL.

### After training

Yumi continues her long-distance relationship with Nikolai, and they keep each other updated. As Nikolai studies, Yumi sends application to airlines. During Nikolai's 23rd birthday, Yumi surprises him by heading to London to celebrate. Yumi says that she receives permission from her and his parents, and Yana asks her to arrange the Christmas tree. She also mentions that she is expectant to see some snow. All the while, she receives a message from an airline and informs her that she is invited for an interview. As Nikolai congratulates her for being accepted, the first snow of December falls and the two spend the night together.

After a few days, before Christmas, Yumi and Nikolai returns back to Manila. Since Nikolai's family spends the holidays in France, he is invited by Yumi's family to be with them for Christmas. For New Year's Eve, Nikolai invites Yumi to welcome the new year with a dinner at The Peninsula Manila Hotel. While waiting for New Year, the two of them watch *Notting Hill*, since it is Yumi's parents' favorite movie than *Roman Holiday*, and reminiscence what happened for the year. At the strike of midnight, Nikolai proposes to her and reveals that he had asked her parents' permission for her hand five times, only receiving the approval last Christmas; she accepts his proposal. The following evening, they are to celebrate their engagement with their closest relatives as earlier planned by Nikolai's parents. As acceptance to the Verano family, Yumi receives a sales stocks of 5%.

Despite their busy schedules, the two work together in maintaining their relationship. Yumi stays at Nikolai's condo at Makati whenever he is in the Philippines during his school breaks. After Nikolai's third year, he officially announced the creation of Malyari Air, the airlines that their batch had decided to be part of the stockholders; and due to Yumi's contract with her employer, she remains in the airlines until then. During Nikolai's graduation, Yumi attends with his family, but heads home days ahead than Nikolai as he completes his pending documents.

Like the rest of the batch, they are invited to Christine and Jared Calunod's wedding. However, due to an error with Nikolai's flight schedules done by his secretary, they aren't able to arrive at the church the same time and had cause her to sulk. During the reception, the two of them make amends and hints that they are yet to reveal to their batchmates and friends, aside from their families, of their engagement since those years ago. Yumi also implies that she's turning her resignation to her company at the end of the year before their wedding the next month.

### Later years

Yumi and Nikolai marry on 23 January 2025 at Saint James the Great Church at Alabang and followed by a reception celebration at Palazzo Verde. Only family members and closest friends are invited; though a larger scaled banquet as attended by business partners is held a week before. The two then spent their two-week long honeymoon at the luxurious The Brando Resort at French Polynesia. At marriage, Yumi becomes Malyari Air's President, though Nikolai remains the Chairman of the Board. They spend the first month of their marriage dealing with business trips and also spend Yumi's twenty-seventh birthday at Brazil, where the two attended the Rio Festival and figure out that she's pregnant with their first child.

Their marriage had bore eight children: Viktor Alexander (2025), Vasilisa Alyona (2027), Valentin Alexei (2029), Veronika Alina (2031), Vladimir Andrei (2033), Valeriya Aelita (2035), Vladislav Arkadi (2037), and Violetta Alisa (2039). All of the children were born on Paris, France, and christened at the Philippines on their return at about three months old. Growing up, the children had been interested in aviation and flying, and in a variety of interests parallel to that of their parents. She had been a supportive wife and mother, always checking and had been doting about them, and allowed them to explore their interests and hobbies. As of 2049, Yumi remains as an active member of Verano Group of Companies and of Malyari Air itself. She has straightforward reactions concerning her children's choice of future, especially for the older ones who are in relationships, and tries to support them despite her usual indifference.

## Personality

Yumi is a self-proclaimed introvert, had been insistent in making decisions based on logic than her emotions, and had been fixated with her goals that spontaneous activities usually stresses her out or makes her anxious. Despite being obedient in following the traditions of the seniors in the aviation industry, she had shown sides of wanting for a change. She had also shown herself to be independent, brave, reckless, and rude for speaking her mind and being honest at all times; but had also shown weakness of doubting her capabilities. Yumi has also great leadership skills, wit and grit that had been evident during her flight training. For being one of the smartest among the batch, she appears much more mature than most of them and had been "their brain".

In the presence of her family, she also shows a soft and caring spot for them that makes her easily loved and understood by them. Nikolai also mentions that she's completely different if one will get to know her than their first meeting where she appears cold and distant, but is actually warm, bubbly and selfless. He also mentions that she's too religious and family-oriented for always putting them first than herself; especially as a mother that she dotes on her children and always ensures that they are safe and happy.

## Physical description

Yumi considers herself plain-looking, about 5'3" to 5'5" in height, and with a slim figure. She has dark brown hair that shines like gold in the sunlight, dark brown eyes, and fair skin. She often has her hair tied in a high and tight ponytail with a blue ribbon that serves as a trademark of hers. She first notes that she prefers being natural with her style; but slowly adapts a feminine look when she and Nikolai starts dating. Even after some years, it had been noted that she remains youthful-looking that had envied the public, and for her to appear like the elder sister of her own children; though there had been a few marks of aging that had led too many to consider him "aging like fine wine".

## Skills and abilities

Yumi is not only academically intelligent and a skilled pilot, but also street-wise and an all-around talent, especially when it comes to being musically-inclined. She plays the piano, violin, guitar, and flute, as mentioned, but she probably plays more than that. Her creativity may not be a match with that of Nikolai's but she likes designing that are usually considered aesthetically, and enjoys writing letters. She had also shown that she isn't athletic, evident during their jungle and water survival that she easily ends up getting exhausted.

## Possessions

Yumi doesn't actually possessed remarkable items at all. Though she is known to have a roll of blue ribbon she used to tie her hair, and the usual items given to a cadet of WAA. However, she receives a painting, *Un amour qui était plus que de l'amour*, from Nikolai, for her twenty-second birthday. On her engagement, Nikolai proposed to her with a personally designed four carats diamond ring by Cartier, which cost be around $100,000; and as a welcome gift to the Verano family, she received a stocks share of 5% from the Verano Group of Companies. Ever since her acceptance to an airline on 2021, Nikolai gifted her with a matching latest Garmin Aviator's watch every year. Despite having a violin of her own, Nikolai also gifted her a Stradivarius one, which is part of the Verano family's collection and costs around 16 million, for her twenty-fourth birthday, and a Steinway grand piano for her twenty-sixth.

She, though, owned a blue lagoon Hyundai Elantra that was gifted to her by her parents upon graduation. Nikolai proposed to her with a 100,000 US dollar 4 carats diamond Cartier ring. As an engagement gift to her by her parents, she was given ownership of a 2000sqm land at Carmona, which she and Nikolai had decided to build their home at with a targeted completion before their wedding. Along with the five percent shared stock she received on her engagement, her net worth by 2021 was 29.3 million US dollars. For the following years, aside from her salary as an airline pilot, her net worth increased.

Even before their marriage, Yumi has a joint-ownership of Nikolai's properties and wealth, as listed below (All of the years were based as of March of that year) :

* 2500sqm of land in Saint-Germain, Paris, France (2023); newly built house by 2025.
* 2000sqm of newly built house in Carmona, Cavite, Philippines (2024; despite yet to be married, the expenses for the building of the house was shouldered by them both)

As part of Nikolai's gift for their marriage, Yumi received fifty percent of his company share, a separate one from the five percent shared stock she earlier owned, and a mercury gray Mitsubishi Outland PHEV.

Yumi became a co-owner of most of Nikolai's properties and wealth; though a few of those had been joint-ownership for those they've bought together, which were as follows (All of the years were based as of March of that year) :

* 2500sqm of land in Saint-Germain, Paris, France (2023); newly built house in 2025.
