Bitter Holidays in Jeju

Chapter 23

"Bakit naman? Should he know about it para hindi siya magtaka?"

"I know he should know about it pero hindi pa naman final kung anong mapag-uusapan namin ni boss. And if ever maganda ang 'yong usapan namin at may magandang offer din, saka ko lang sasabihin kay Jin-hyeong. It's either he'll accept or reject it. Bahala na siya ro'n, but I'm hoping he would accept it at the end of the day."

"Pero ano sa tingin mo 'yong pag-uusapan niyo? Would it be something about his music career o kaya naman ay mapasasama siya sa new TV show?"

She shrugged off again. "Just like what I said, wala talaga akong idea. Either way, ayos lang sa akin kung ano ang ibigay and I think Jin-hyeong can do it naman. Hindi siya kikilalanin sa buong mundo if hindi niya ginagawa ng best niya. For now, let's just hope for the best."

Saglit lang ay biglang bumalik si PSG at tinawag si Chini saka niyaya itong umalis. Umikot ang mata ni Chini kasi masyado raw sabik itong umalis. She grabbed her things and went with PSG outside. BJH saw us walked out of the house kaya naghintay kami na makasakay silang dalawa patungong airport. They left as soon as the cab arrived and we're bound to see them again next week back in Seoul.

"Do you want to go somewhere?" Jin-hyeong asked.

Napakunot-noo ako. "And where are we going? Sa market ba?"

He shook his head. "No. I thought we should go to the Aqua Planet now. Let's just continue what we're supposed to do last time. What do you think so?"

Napakibit balikat ako. "Hindi 'ko sure... pwede naman tayong pumunta, but I'm worried about people recognize you, e. Alam na ng karamihan na nandito ka sa Jeju at ayoko namang pagkaguluhan ka out of nowhere."

"Don't you want to enjoy your stay here in Jeju?" tanong nito.

Napalunok ako ng laway. "Of course, gusto kong gawin 'yon, but maybe we could do it in someplace at hindi ro'n."

"And where do you think we should go? Hamdeok beach? Hyeopjae beach? Hallim park? Or Jeonbang waterfall? It's just near the area and I think this is a good thing to visit. You should change and we'll get there."

"Hala! Seryoso ka ba? Ngayon na talaga?"

Seryoso naman itong tumango sa akin. "Yes. It'll be only ten minutes away from us so it'll be fast and convenient for us. Go change and I'll ask father to use his car. Move, Raijine. Don't just stare at me."

I blinked a few times as I got back to my consciousness. Tumango ako at saka dali-dali akong tumungo pabalik sa kwarto namin. Naghabilin pa ito na magdala ng extra shirt at towel. Kuhaan ko rin daw siya in case something happened. Nagtaka ako kasi akala ko maliligo kami ro'n since waterfall iyon. Hindi pa ako nakararating do'n and it will be my first time to be there and as I've heard it's the famous waterfall in Jeju because of its unique location. Wala ako masyadong ideya tungkol do'n so maybe I'll get to learn something from him when we get there.

As I've got what we need, I met Jin-hyeong outside and then he just called to get inside the car. Pagkapasok ko ay inabot ko sa kanya ang damit at towel na pinakuha niya sa akin. Nilagay niya lang iyon sa passenger seat at pinaandar na niya ang sasakyan saka nagsimulang bumiyahe.

Tahimik lang ako sa biyahe at pansin ko ang kakaibang glow sa mukha ni Jin-hyeong ngayon. I noticed that he really felt free when no one's telling him something to do. I mean I'm happy that he feels happy and he deserves it so much. If there's one thing I would like for Jin-hyeong to have is pure happiness... I couldn't think of anything else, but that's it.

Not that long when we finally reached the place. Jin-hyeong parked the car, we just leave the shirts and towels then we proceed to go to the trail heading to the waterfall. Obviously, he paid for our admission.
