Line 32 ⚠

LONG CHAPTER AHEAD!!!

I have a name to take care, a family to protect, a sister to support and friendships to secure. I won't let anyone ruin what I have protected for years for the sake of the people that matters to me the most. You can't ruin everything Eve. I won't let you.

"Tsk"

"Dinala molang ba ako dito Sir para samahan kang tawagan ang kung sino man?"

-napalingon ako kay eve na nakaupo sa tabihan ko. She refuses to look at me directly in the eyes at ramdam na ramdam kopa rin ang panghuhusga sa bawat kibot nya.

"I'm sorry. Sa parte lang ng isla nato may signal pero hindi parin sapat para tumawag sa Seoul"

-We were on the back part of the island, sa itaas ng bato kung saan kami nahulog ni Seungcheol. I brought her here dahil ayokong may makarinig ng usapan naming dalawa at para narin mag try na tawagan si Mingyu but as expected I failed for the hundred time.

"Maguusap ba tayo o ano?"

-bumaba si Eve sa batong inuupuan namin at naupo sa buhanginan. She's being cold and rude to me now. Sinusimulan nya nang tratuhin akong parang basura. I felt sorry for her, she's right about me being a gay. But I can't blow up my cover. I have a lot of people on my back, hindi ako pwedeng basta basta sumuko.

"Dyan kaba mas komportable?"

-tumayo rin ako at sumunod sa kanya.I sat beside her but maintain a safe distance para hindi naman sya masyadong masakal sa presensya ko. This is crazy, why do I still care for my enemy?

"Eve, about what you saw. Seungcheol is just being mischievous, it's just a friendly---"

"That way? I would understand if you are a girl Sir. Pero lalaki ka, who would tease a boy like that?"

-Sa wakas at tumitig narin sya sa mga mata ko, pero ni hindi nya man lang ako pinatapos magsalita. Kailangan konang magmadali, nagaagaw liwanag at dilim na dahil mag aala sais narin ng hapon. Kinakailangan narin naming bumalik maya maya.

"Close friends. A very very close one"

"You weren't that close"

-of course you wouldn't notice. You have no idea of what we went through.

"Is ten years still not enough for you?"

-kumunot ang noo nya at nagtaas sakin ng isang kilay.

"Huh?"

"He's my highschool friend. Kilala na namin ang isat isa bago pako nag trabaho sa company. That's the truth Eve"

-saglit syang natigilan. Please Eve, I'm protecting so many people in my life you can't ruin it all in just a snap. They can't treat me like a trash, or my family's future would be trash as well.

"I'm still not convinced Sir"

-napapikit nalang ako ng marahan at nagbuntong hininga. What should I do? My lies had to cover another lie, nagpapatong patong na ang mga kasinungalingan ko pero wala akong ibang choice kundi gawin yun.

"Ano pa bang klase ng explanasyon ang gusto mo?"

"I don't need an explanation. I need a proof"

-proof? In what way? Does someone needs to testify?

"Is kissing you still not enough? I kissed you that night at Joshua's welcoming party remember?"

-that memory flashed in a split second and I thought that would help but...
