THIRD PERSON

There was a brief pause.

Then, everything happened so quickly that it horrified Finn.

Eura, who was munching on a leaf accidentally swallowed it. Napangiwi siya sa pangit na lasa nito pero hindi pa rin umaalis ang utak niya sa sinabi ni Finn. Kairo, who was eating an apple also bit and swallow a huge lump so ended up coughing. Si Oliver naman ay mukhang nagshut down na dahil nakatingin lang siya sa hangin.

Finn stepped back and almost everyone snapped out of their thoughts. Natakot siya nang sabay-sabay na magsalita ang mga ito.

Did everyone finally fell to insanity? She hazily thought.

"S-Sleep with-? Finn?!"

"Sandali lang, sandali lang, saan mo naman nalaman 'yan-"

"Wait, but can you just say that out in the open? Hindi ba't dapat-"

"Finn, anong sinabi mo? Bakit nasabi mo 'yan? At kay Kairo pa eh nandito ak-"

Oliver was smacked in the head. Courtesy of Eura.

"Finn, mahal ko." Eura with her usual endearment for the girl. "Alam mo bang ibig sabihin no'n-"

"Ba't mo ko hinampas?! Pero, saan mo ba narinig at nalaman 'yan, Finn? I've never thought you're the wild-"

"Putanginang Oliver, one more damn word from your fucking mouth and I'll burn it to shit."

It was effective in shutting Oliver up, although he still looked so stunned that Finn thinks he became a statue.

Tiningnan niya si Kairo na hindi na rin gumagalaw. When their eyes met, Kairo stuttered out a, "I-I... Shouldn't I take you out on a d-date first?"

Isang hampas din sa likod ang nakuha niya mula kay Eura. The girl's fuming like a mother hen whose baby was just stolen.

Finn is thinking about why Kairo would take her out on a date when there's no reason to.

"Wala ding take-out na date, tangnamo!" singhal ni Eura at tumingin sa nagtatakang si Finn. "Do you know what that means?"

Tumango si Finn. The meaning is so simple that it doesn't need complicated thinking. Kaya hindi niya alam kung bakit sobrang gulat sila. Sleep is a normal thing and everyone does it. What's so wrong about sleeping?

"Mm. Matulog."

The three rogues waited for Finn to elaborate further but all they got was a blink from the girl.

"Anong klaseng tulog?"

Finn frowned at Eura's question. May ibang klaseng tulog pa ba? Is she asking about the sleeping position?

Dahil hindi niya alam kung anong isasagot, Finn decided to show it through her action. She clapped her hands together and leaned her head on it, imitating a sleeping gesture. Pinikit niya pa sandali ang mata para ipakitang tulog nga.

Hindi naman balak ng tatlo na tumahimik pero wala silang nagawa at titigan ang babaeng rogue. They reasoned to themselves that it's alright to watch this cute scene as fondness covered their entire heart.

Bakit kaya hindi na lang pwedeng gawing keychain si Finn para madala nila kahit saan.

Finn's eyes fluttered open, frown marring her face because no one said a word. Kumunot ang noo niya. They all have this dumb look in their face.
