Chapter Seventy-one

Napanganga ako nang makitang inalalabas niya ang dalawang two-wheeler vehicle and one of the alien things for me. Kulay asul ang isa at kulay pink naman ang isa, both again matching our clothes. I felt like he really did plan all this.

"I want to show you what I always do when I'm home," nakangiting sabi sa akin ni Jimin habang inaabot sa akin ang kulay pink na bisikleta na hindi naman kalakihan hindi tulad ng madalas kong napapanood sa mga K-Drama. Nakasabit sa kanang controller nito ang kulay pink ding helmet, I guessed for safety measures.

Seriously, I had never seen bicycles this close, not in exaggeration but bicycles were not a thing for me.

"Then why did you bring two bicycles?" I confusedly asked while still looking at the bicycle, unsure how it worked. Sure, sinasakyan ito ng mga tao pero kahit kailan ay hindi pa ako nakakasakay ng bisikleta, much less ang makakita ng ganito sa malapitan.

"We are riding together," he casually said, sounding as if that was just so possible. Of course, to others, it might! But not when it came to me! Ni hindi niya ako nilingon dahil abala siya sa pagsusuot ng helmet niya

"I can't ride that," I blandly said as I sent the bike a foreign look, holding onto the controller tightly.

Gulat niya akong nilingon na laglag ang panga. Now, he was staring at me ridiculously. Malamang iniisip niya, hindi na makatarungan ang dami ng mga bagay na hindi ko kayang gawin. Spare me this one though. My parents didn't really like us near bicycles before. They didn't want us riding such. Hindi lang ako ang hindi marunong mag-bike, even my sister. I didn't know if my brother didn't learn riding bicycles but the rule also applied to him.

"You can't or you don't know?" taka niyang tanong saka umayos ng tayo hawak naman ang bicycle niya.

Ngumuso ako at pinakatitigan siya. "Both," tapat kong sagot.

His jaw dropped even more with his shoulder. Oh come, on! This shouldn't surprise him anymore when he already knew a lot of things I couldn't do. Baka kapag nalaman niyang wala pa sa kalahati ng listahan ng mga hindi ko kayang gawin ang mga alam niya ay di na niya kayanin.

There were still a lot actually. Kaya't lubos ang gulat ko nang ideklara niyang tuturuan niya ako. We went to the park just neat their house, both of us dragging our bicycles along a luckily, silent and deserted road. Aniya ay madalas raw niyang puntahan ang park ng ganitong oras para lang mag-bike at makalanghap ng sariwang hangin. He said he was too caught up with Seoul's polluted air so he loved as he missed the fresh air of Busan.

Hindi ko alam kung ikalulungkot ko ba iyon o ano. Siyempre, with the status of life he had, he could only go here at night when people were already in their houses and sleeping, when he should enjoy his stay here while the sun was still up with the a lot of people. That was how normal people did it.

Kaya't kahit hindi ko rin gusto ang ideya na mag-ba-bike ako dahil pakiramdam ko susuwayin ko ang mga magulang ko ay pinagbigyan ko si Jimin.

Firstly, he showed me how he did it. Nakadalawang ikot siya sa kabuuan ng park bago siya huminto at itinayo ang bike niya sa isang tabi malapit sa bench na inuupuan ko. He dragged the pink bike right in front me while breathing unevenly but calmly. Kinuha niya ang pink na helmet at banayad na inabot sa akin.

Agad ko itong sinuot. Wala na itong ibang safety gears bukod sa helmet pero sa tingin ko ay sapat naman na ito. Only stupids wouldn't get how easy it was to ride a bike. Mukhang madali lang naman base sa nakita kong ginawa niya.

"Should you try it now?" he asked me, giving me a courageous smile. Masaya akong tumango bilang tugon. Hinayaan niya ako makasakay sa bike. Luckily, abot ng mga paa ko ang sahig kahit na naka-upo na ako. Hindi naman kasi kataasan ang bike at normal lang para sa mga katulad kong hindi naman matangkad. "You should step on the pedals and I will hold you behind," aniya sa likod ko nang naghahanda na ako kaya bahagya akong tumango ulit.
