CSC's POV

It took me a while to realize.

Habang tumatagal at ginagawa ko ang mga yun, humihirap ng humihirap. I've never felt guiltier than ever. Natatakot lalo ako na baka masaktan ko siya.

Tapos ngayon na nalaman ko ng nasabi ko pala habang lasing ako, natatakot na ko lalo. What if he remembers? Ayoko ng masira kung ako ang meron namin ngayon. I don't want him gone from my life.

But I still have the situation with dad. I've decided na ititigil ko na to. Sinabi ko na kay dad. Ipinaglaban ko na siya. I fought him for Jihoon. I did everything I could.

I did convince him, but it still had a catch. I had two choices. Ako ng bahala kung anong pipiliin ko para kay Jihoon.

I still haven't decided yet. I think now is not the time for that.

I see him walk towards me as I sat on the bench here at the park.

"Hi Jihoonie." I smiled at him as I stood up.

"Hi."

"Merry Christmas, hehe."

"Merry Christmas rin."

"Stop looking down." I chuckled and pointed his face to look at me.

He was bright red.

Tinakpan niya yung mukha niya.

"Wag mong takpan mukha mo. Di ko na makikita yung cute kong Jihoonie."

"Wag ka nga." He glared.

"Upo tayo?" And we sat on the bench.

The moon was so bright today. It lit up the park even though the lamp posts were all broken.

"Jihoon."

"Hm?"

"Kamusta naman pasko mo?"

"Bukas pa pasko."

"Ay. Ganun na rin yun."

"Okay lang naman. Why?"

"Wala naman. I just wanted to make sure that you're happy today. Dapat di ka sad. Susuntukin ko lahat ng taong magpapalungkot sayo ngayon."

"At pag ikaw ang gumawa nun?"

"Umm. Di naman siguro mangyayari yun ngayon no? Hehe gagawin ko lahat para mapasaya ka ngayong pasko."

"Why are you like this suddenly?"

"Wala, wala. Bakit, sweet ko ba?" I laughed.

"Di. Kasuka ka."

"Grabe, huhu."

"Siyempre joke lang."

"Ang sakit naman ng joke mo Jihoonie ko."

"Kanina mo pa linalagyan ng ko pangalan ko."

"Ayaw mo yun? Inaangkin na kita."

"Di ako gamit para angkinin."

"I know. Aangkinin kita Pero di kita gagamitin kahit kelan, ayie."

"Uwi na ko, Seungcheol." He stood up.

"Huy! Wag ganyan, balik ka naaaa."

Tumawa siya ang umupo ulit.

"I won't leave you, gago."

"Ayie, kilig ako kahit ginago mo ko."

"Seriously, bat ganyan ka ngayon? Lasing ka ba?"

"Lasing agad? Di ba pwedeng masaya lang?"

"Grabe naman pagka-saya mo."

"Of course. Kasama kita eh. Tas di pa tayo magkaaway."

"And?"

"I get to spend my christmas with someone special."

"Di ako special child."

"Di nga Pero special ka sakin, hehe."

"Ew."

"Masanay ka na, Jihoonie ko."

I took out the box from my pocket. Binuksan ko to sa harap niya.

"Merry Christmas Jihoonie."

"You didn't have to."

"Magagalit ako sa sarili ko pag di kita binigyan ng regalo. So please accept this." I took the necklace at sinuot sakanya.

"Um, thanks."

"You're welcome, Jihoonie."

"Sorry wala kong regalo sayo."

"Meron kaya."

"What?"

"Being here, accepting my cheesiness, di ka galit sakin."

"Regalo na yun?"

"For me, oo. Pero may hinihintay akong regalo."

"Ano yun?"

"It's for you to find out, hehe."

"Okay?"

There was an awkward silence.

"Jihoonie."

"Oh?"

"Would it be bad if I told you I liked you?"

"What?"

"I like you, Jihoonie ko."

"Yung totoo, di ka ba talaga lasing?"

"Di nga. Bat di ka makapaniwala?"

"I don't know."

He faced the other way.

Finally nasabi ko rin. Nawala na yung mabigat na pakiramdam.

"Jihoon."

"Ano?" He said still  not facing me.

"Bat ayaw mo tumingin sakin?"

No response.

I moved closer to him.

LJH's POV

Naramdaman kong may yumakap sa likod ko.

"Seungcheol."

"Yes?"

"Stop."

"Bakit, kilig ka? Hahaha."

"Oo, gago. So get off."

He finally pulled away.

"Wait, tama ba narinig ko? Um-oo ka? Kinikilig ka? Yieee Jihoonie ko."

"Shut up."

"Kinikilig pala sakin si Jihoonie ko eh."

"Di ka tatahimik Choi?"

"Kiss muna."

"Kiss mo mukha mo."

"Ay, ang hard ah."

"Sorry."

"Hindi, Sige. Nagtatampo na ko sayo."

"Seungcheol."

Di niya ko sinasagot.

"Seungcheol."

He crossed his arms and faced down.

"Huy Seungcheol."

I guess I had no choice.

I moved closer to him.

I leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Ch-cheol ko. Wag ka na magtampo."

He looked at me and smiled.

"TANGINA JIHOONIE KINIKILIG AKO SHET."

Inirapan ko na lang siya.

"Jihoonie."

"Oh?"

"I love you."

And that was when I felt soft lips press against mine.

"I love you too."
