Hwang Hyunjin
“You like who?”
sabay sabay kaming napatingin sa nagsalita at napalunok nalang ako ng makita kung sino ito. tila ba tinakasan ako ng kaluluwa. I can feel my sweat forming on my forehead and my hands feel cold.
“You like who?” ulit nito. napalunok akong muli at napatingin sa mga kasamahan ko. tumango lang sila senyales na sabihin ko ang totoo.
“Seungjin. I like Seungjin.” I said and looked away.
“Really? omg ka kuya!” Tili ni Hyunjae at patakbong lumapit sakin.
I avoided her gaze once again and cleared my throat. binigyan ako nito ng mapanuksong tingin at sinundot sundot pa nito ang tagiliran ko.
“Please don't tell her about it.” Pakiusap ko dito ngunit ngumisi lang ito at mas lalo akong tinukso.
“Worry not dear brother. my mouth is zipped.” Sabi nito na ikinahinga ko ng maluwag and mumbled 'thank you'
“Let's talk about it later okay? you have a lot of explaining to do.” She said. I chuckled and nodded my head as an answer.
“Bat ka nga pala andito?” Tanong ko dito.
“Kaya nga, bat ka ba andito? kita mo namang no pets allowed.” Jeongin said na ikinataas ng kilay ni Hyunjae. here we go again.
“No pets allowed pala, buti andito ka?” She barked back, that made me grin. ang talas talaga ng dila nito kahit kailan. lagi nalang may pambarang baon. I swear her and Seunjin are like a ticking bomb, kahit saan at kahit kailan ay sasabog.
“Foxes are exempted and gorillas are not.” Sagot naman ni Jeongin na ikina inis naman lalo ni Hyunjae.
I looked at Jeongin and shook my head. He got what I was trying to say and nodded his head then walked away.
“So why are you here?” I asked again, trying to divert her attention to me which succeeded.
“You forgot to bring your homework earlier. nakita ni mama when she cleaned your room.” She said at inabot saakin ang sandamakmak na papel. I thanked her and she smiled then bid her goodbye dahil mal-late na daw ito sa klase nya.
saktong pag-alis naman ni Hyunjae ang pagdating ni Seungmin. mukhang nagmadali ito dahil magulo ang buhok nito.
“What did I miss?” Takhang tanong nito.
“Nothing.” Mabilisang sagot namin sakanya. nagkibit balikat lang ito at tumuloy kami sa dapat naming gawin.
He said sorry and explained why he's late. napuyat daw ito sa ginawang thesis, and we totally understand that since Seungmin is a very hard working student, hinding hindi ito nawawala sa honors at dean lister.
After my practice, Hyunjae and I talked about what happened earlier. I explained to her about my feelings towards her friend and how it started. she promised to shut her mouth about it and Keep it a secret dahil ayaw akong pangunahan nito, gusto nya na sakin mismo malalaman ni Seungjin yung bagay na to.
I thanked her for keeping it a secret. She told me not to worry and she is really happy about it. Hyunjae also revealed that she's been shipping us for a long time now, hoping that Seungjin and I will end up with each other.
