77 - Narration

A R E U M

“Papunta na raw?” I asked Haechan excitedly. He looked over to me before shrugging his shoulders off. Napa-pout naman ako habang siya naman ay umirap.

“He was hesitant because of A! Fucking dumbass, he can’t even figure out that you two are the same person.” he mumbled at humigop sa shake na hawak niya.

Nandito kami sa may mga booth sa batch nila. Bukod sa malapit ang booth ng NCT, andito rin ata bago niyang bebe.

“I heard from Doyoung hyung. Really, Haechan? Wala kang awa.” bulong ni Archer at pinaypayan pa ako. Medyo mainit kasi.

Haechan smirked, “Ano nanamang paninirang puri ang sinabi ni hyung? Ayaw ata ako maging kapamilya.” he kid. Napairap ako.

Siguro kaya ganon si Doyoung oppa ay dahil saksakan ng pagiging babaero si Haechan. Dakilang playboy yan eh. Kilabot ng Seoul U.

“He said that he will kill you if you make his cousin cry.” natatawa si Archer.

“Ako nga ata papaiyakin.” at ngumisi pa si Haechan bago may nilingon sa kabilang banda.

We both followed his line of sight and there she is. Kim Cheonsa. Laman ng usapan kasi bagong lipat lang. She’s pure as her name, a literal angel.

“Madami nagkakagusto jan ah? Kaya nagbabantay ka?”

“Bantay? She’s not even interested at any of them.” mayabang na sabi ni Haechan. Napairap ako sa kahanginan niya.

Nang mapansin ni Cheonsa na nandito si Haechan ay ngumiti siya bago kumaway. She said something to the girl beside her before walking close to us.

Agad namang naglakad palapit si Haechan at sinalubong si Cheonsa. She was smiling warmly at him while they’re talking. I watched how Haechan took off his hat and made Cheonsa wear it dahil mainit.

His hand gently held her elbow then pulled her towards us. She smiled at us right away.

“Edi asan sila Jeno?” he asked Cheonsa at iniabot dito ang shake. Uminom muna siya bago sumagot kay Haechan. He was too focused at her and he even gently brushed away some of her hairs away from her face.

“They went there.” at tinuro ang kabilang direksyon. Nabago ang mukha ni Cheonsa and now she looked worried.

“They were arguing because Jeno is pissed and making a scene so Chaewon told him to follow her.” she said. Haechan was just looking at her.

He smiled gently before lightly pinching her cheeks, “Don’t worry too much, Halo. They’ll be fine.” he assured her. Tumango nalang si Cheonsa at bumalik na sa booth kasi tinawag na ulit siya.

Mayamaya pa ay dumating na ‘rin ang isa pa nilang kaibigan. Lee Jeno, of course I know him. Isa pang playboy--but that was before. I think? Dahil balita ko ay may kinababaliwan na siya. His brows was hardly furrowed as he clenched his jaw.

“Ano dude?” tanong ni Haechan at nakipag-shake hands.

“She’s so fucking stubborn.” inis na sabi niya. Archer chuckled at how pissed he looked.

“And you’re stubborn too! Sinabi ko na dude wag muna dahil galit pa.” Haechan shrugged his shoulders.

Busy ako sa pakikinig ng may biglang tumabi sakin. Lumingon ako at medyo nanlaki ang mata ng makitang si Mark ‘yon. He smiled a little before gently fanning himself using his hand. May iilang butil din ng pawis sa noo niya.

“Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.” he said and I just gave a shy nod. Nalipat ang atensyon niya sa dalawang kaibigan.

“Fuck that stupid bet.” Jeno mumbled. I was clueless dahil hindi ko alam ang nangyayari. Medyo naguguluhan nga ako dahil first time ko makita na ganito si Jeno.

“What’s happening here? Why is he so pissed?” tanong ni Mark and he’s just standing beside me. Kahit medyo malayo, amoy na amoy ko ang bango niya.

“Nag-away nanaman sila.” Haechan.

“Its just unfair dude! We were both to be blamed for this why am I the only one suffering?” Jeno hissed.

Haechan shrugged his shoulders, “Its because Chaewon is Chaewon and my Cheonsa is Cheonsa. Magkaiba sila dude so they handle stuff in a different ways too.”

Mark sighed before he turned over to me. “You wouldn’t want to spend the day listening to their stupid rants, right?” he asked to me.

He smirked before turning over to them, “We will be going. Archer,” at tinapik pa ang balikat niya.

Arch smiled at Mark, “Balik ko mamaya.”

“Kahit wag na dude.” he joked that I quickly glared into.

Mark chuckled as we both started walking away from them. I know sinabi ko na I wanted this but fudge, I’m really nervous! Grabe yung kaba ko. As in, sobra yung kaba ko. I can’t even look at him in the eyes.

Medyo napaitlag ako when he gently grabbed my hand kaya napalingon ako sa kanya. He then broke into a smile, “Let’s just enjoy today, huh?”

Napangiti na ‘rin tuloy ako at tumango.

I will surely will enjoy this.
