Second Best 「 Choi Soobin 」✓

33

Soobin;

It's been days since my last encounter with Suri. I miss her so much. Bumaba na ako mula sa kwarto at dumiretso sa garage. Sumakay ako sa kotsen at pinaandar ito paalis.

I put my wireless earphone in my ear and dialed Lia's number on my phone. Seconds later, sinagot niya yung tawag.

"Good morning baby!"

She said as she answered the call. She became clingy and sweet to me ever since naging kami ulit. Pero iba pa rin talaga pag si Suri ang kasama ko. She is giving me a different feels like nobody else.

"Good morning. Where are you? Are you in your condo?"

"Yep! I'm making pancake for breakfast."

"Okay, I'll be there."

I said and hanged up the call. Pinaharurot ko ang sasakyan. I parked my car at pumunta sa condo niya. After 3 knocks, pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto.

"Binnie!"

She said excitedly ang kissed my cheek. I smiled at her. It's a fake one.

"Are you hungry? Come in, let's eat some pancakes together."

Pumasok ako sa condo. She closed the door. Dumiretso kami sa dining area. Pinaupo niya ako and served me some pancakes.

"Say ahhh."

She said and pointed the fork with a slice of pancake in my mouth. Kinain ko naman yun. I chew it.

"What do you think? Isn't it delicious?"

Nilunok ko muna yung pancake bago siya sinagot.

"Yeah, very delicious."

She smiled at me.

"By the way I have some papers for you to sign up. It's about the expansion of your company to ours. You don't have to read about it, I already review the content for you. And tomorrow is the day, my brother will announce to everybody about me being the heir of the company."

"Don't ne nervous tomorrow okay? I know you can do it."

She said and kissed my cheek. I gave her my fake smile.

"By the way where's the document?"

I placed the white folder on the table and opened it to the last page.

"You need to sign here."

I gave her a pen at kinuha niya naman yun. Pinirmahan niya ang papeles without reading it. I smirk.

"Here."

Ani niya at ibinigay sa akin ang pen pagkatapos niyang pirmahan. I looked at my watch.

"I need to go. My meeting pa kasi akong pupuntahan."

She nodded. Tumayo na ako. She kissed me on the cheek again.

"Take care okay? Payting!"

She cheered me up and smiled at me. Those eyes. Wala man lang akong sincerity na nakita. I smiled at her.

"Goodbye."

J plainly said at lumabas sa condo niya. I took a deep sigh. Tomorrow is the day. Hindi ko na kailangang magpanggap.

Napatingin ako sa white folder na dala ko. All is set. Ang kailangan ko na lang gawin ay maghanda para sa rebelasyong magaganap bukas.

Lia;

Di ko maiwasang ngumiti sa saya. Mapapasa amin na ni Dad ang kayamanan ng mga Choi. Poor Soobin. Kung sumama ka na lang sana sa cheap na babaeng yun eh di sana hindi kayo magkakaganito.

Well, it's not my fault though. Di ko na kasalanan kung hibang na hibang ka sa pagmamahal mo sakin. Stupid love! Kaya nagiging bobo ang mga tao eh dahil sa pag-ibig na yan. Buti na lang I know better.

This needs a celebration. I'll call dad to come tomorrow. Para masaksihan niya ang pagbagsak ng mga Choi.

Suri;

Palabas na ako ng coffee shop. Kakatapos lang ng duty ko. I closed my eyes and stretched my neck in a circular motion. Nakakapagod.

"Hey Suri!"

Napalingon ako sa tumawag sakin. Nag-iba ang timpla ng mukha ko nung makilala ko kung sino ang babaeng yun. Patakbo siyang lumapit sakin.

"Anong kailangan mo?"

Cold kong sabi. She gave me her sweet smile at inabot sa'kin ang isang box.

"Here's the dress. Tomorrow, Seulbin will announce to the crowd that Soobin will be the heir of the company. Soobin will also announce the expansion of our company to theirs. Since you are close to Soobin, I decided to invite you. Please come."

I gritted my teeth. Ang kapal naman talaga ng apog ng babaeng to. I glared at her.

"Salamat sa pag-imbita pero hindi ako pupunta."

Ani ko at ibinigay ulit sa kanya yung puting box. Akmang aalis nung naramdaman ko ang matigas na bagay na tumama sa likod ko. Lumingon ako at nakita yung box.

"I went all the way here so atleast be thankful, you bitch!"

Mataray niyang sabi at binangga ako sa braso. Napaupo ako dahil sa impact. Pumasok siya sa kotse niya at pinaharurot yun paalis.

Napatawa ako ng mapakla.

"Mga matapobre nga naman."

Kinuha ko yung box at tumayo. Ibibigay ko na lang to sa kapitbahay namin. Naglakad ako paalis at umuwi.

Soobin;

"Are you ready Binnie?"

I snapped to reality nung biglang nagsalita si Seulbin hyung. Suri... I miss her so much. I looked at hyung.

"Yes, I'm ready."

I confidently said. He smiled at me.

"Let's go?"

I nodded at him at pumasok na kami sa hall kung saan mangyayari ang announcement. Our business partners and friends greeted us. Some congratulate me and wish me luck in the future.  I think Lia spread the fake news easily.

I was talking with somebody when someone snake her hands around my arms.

"Gentlemen, sorry to interupt you but can I borrow him for a minute?"

It's Lia. I can say that she look stunning in her dress. But I think it will be better if it was Suri. Well, Suri is always better in my eyes more than her.

She pulled me at pumunta sa lugar na walang tao. She smiled at me.

"Wag kang kakabahan okay? Kung kinakabahan ka just look at me."

I gave her a fake smile and nodded. Inayos ni Lia ang pagkakatali ng neck tie ko and kissed my cheek.

"I'm so proud of you Binnie."

She said and looked at me.

"Thank you."

Ani ko at ngumiti.

"Tara na sa loob."

Paanyaya and we went inside again. I looked at her. I'm sorry Lia. I know you'll hate me after this.
