Seven and Nine (FIN)

Fifty Eight

"Hi Ju-hee. Are you well prepared for your debut this Saturday?"

"Yes unnie! And I'm excited!"

"That's my girl" ginulo ko ang ibabaw ng buhok nya habang nakangiti.

I met Ju-hee a long time ago. Na-surprise pa nga ako ng kausapin nya ko ng ipakilala ako ni mommy sa mga artists nya. I met her in Busan way way back ng minsang magbakasyon kami dito ni mommy. Hindi pa ko doktor nun. I'm still studying kaya hindi ko na sya naalala. Bata pa kasi sya nun. I asked pano nya nalamang ako yun and she said because of my green eyes and my voice. Weird nga eh pero sabi nya talagang hindi nya lang daw ako nakalimutan.

"Unnie"

"Yes?"

Pinalapit nya ko sa mukha nya. Yumuko ako dahil may kaliitan si Ju-hee. Then she whispers something to my ear.

"Asdfghjkl"

Nagulat ako sa sinabi nya but she only smiled at me with matching irresistable puppy look. Pero ni-resist ko. I can't do her that favor.

"I can't, Ju-hee"

"But why?"

"I'm sorry. I hope you understand"

"Oppa will surely love it. I really want to give him a thank you gift for all the things he did to me. Can you change your mind, unnie?"

"Ju-hee! We need to resume the practice!"

"Okay!" she gave an okay sign to her trainor before looking back at me. "Please think it over, unnie. Fighting!"

Sinundan ko na lang ng tingin si Ju-hee habang papasok sa practice room. Bakit ba kasi naalala pa ni Ju-hee yun? Did I create too much impression to her back then?

"Nine! Nine!"

"Yes, Rica?"

"Look at this!"

Rica looks excited habang inaabot sakin ang tablet. I look closely kung anong gusto nyang ipakita sakin.

"Half a million views in less than two days??"

"Uh huh! This is awesome right? Look at the comments too. They are all positive. Seven is also trending in SNS!"

It is a video uploaded in youtube. The one where Seven and I danced on the streets with the other guys. Napangiti ako habang binabasa ang mga comments na sinasabing ang galing ni Seven at wala pa rin syang kupas. But one thing I like about him in this video is the first part. How he danced just for me. I can see the passion. I can feel his heart.

Looks like it also made its way towards their closed hearts.

"Have you shown it to Seven?"

"Yes. And he screamed inside the recording booth. Imagine?? Hahaha. And what's even good thing about it is that his schedules are increasing like a thunderstorm. That's all thanks to you, Nine. Seven is a special singer that I manage so far. So I owe you a lot"

"Hey hey, Rica. Don't bow too much. It's because of Seven and his talent. No need to give me a bow haha"

"But really...thank you, Nine. You're I guess his...lucky charm? Oh your name and his name are both lucky! Haha. Well I gotta go. I need to arrange his schedules. We're gonna be busy in the next coming days. Oh here. Some wants to talk to you about co-sponsoring with Seven's comeback concert. Here are their numbers"

"Thanks, Rica"

"Fighting!"

Natawa na lang ako sa kanya at kumaway habang palayo sya sakin.
