"HINDI ka na ba galit sa'kin?"
Nakaupo na sila sa kanilang napiling upuan. Jihoon took the window seat while Seungcheol took the seat next to him after placing their baggages on the top shelves.
"Tungkol nga d'on," biglang sumeryoso ang kanina lang na chillax na mukha ni Seungcheol. "Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa'kin na kilala mo pala ang mga pinsan ko?"
Jihoon shrugged. "Gaya ng sinabi ko, maalam ako sa larangan ng pangangalap ng mahahalagang impormasyon. At hindi ko kailanman ni-re-reveal ang mga sources ko."
"Paano mo sila nakilala? At kailan pa?"
"Pagkatapos mo 'kong pinakilala sa mga kaibigan mo bilang boyfriend mo?" Jihoon answered sheepishly before nodding to himself in content. "'Yon nga. Nilapitan nila ako at nagpakilala. I also introduced myself as your boyfriend. So that's how things went."
Seungcheol glared at him.
"I was trying to help. You looked like you're troubled, okay."
"Kaya mas pinili mong makialam?"
Jihoon sighed. Alam niyang aabot ang lahat sa puntong 'to. That was a creepy move he pulled off, yes, even he admits to that. Anyone's would've crept out by that, even Seungcheol who eventually learned to get comfortable with him these past weeks. Hindi niya masisisi kung magalit nga ng tuluyan si Seungcheol sa kanya. Base sa kunot ng noo nito habang hindi lubos na makatingin sa kanya, mukhang nagsisimula na ang inaasahang reaksyon niya mula rito.
"Sorry," he mumbled softly, but enough for Seungcheol to hear it. "I knew that was kind of a stretch. I know . . . IーI just don't know what else to do. G-Gusto kong makatulong sa'yo."
Hindi umimik si Seungcheol. His eyes were still anywhere but on him.
"Hindi mo kayang takbuhan na lang panghabang buhay ang mga problema mo, Seungcheol," seryosong sabi ni Jihoon. "Do you honestly think you're problem's going away if you just dodge it in any way possible? Nagkakamali ka, kasi hindi gan'on gumagana ang buhay Seungcheol. Hindi sa gan'ong paraan umiikot ang mundo."
Seungcheol stiffened at the comment but said nothing. Agad din namang itong naka-recover at natahimik. Jihoon didn't know if he went overboard but it was the truth. Seungcheol has to man up some day, and that day has come. All Jihoon did was push him off the coward cliff and off to his journey to manning up.
Kung basta-basta lang din 'yon lumabas sa bibig niya.
"Gaano na karami ang alam mo tungkol sa'kin? Gaano karami ang sinabi nina hyung sa'yo?" seryosong tanong nito.
"A lot," Jihoon admitted. "Pati na ang tungkol sa divorce ng parents mo."
Seungcheol visibly tensed again from that and sighed heavily. Mukhang natanggap na niyang wala siyang magagawa para pigilan si Jihoon na alamin ang mga bagay tungkol sa kanya. Jihoon already knew. He wouldn't lie about that part.
