Chapter Four - Part Two

"Noona," he answers, "naiinitan daw siya eh kaya ako na lang kumuha ng pagkain namin." Chan just nodded as Chanwoo walks away towards the backstage. Well, it really is hot especially that the program is being held at an open court for now, at yung AC nasa may mga organizing team at technological.

Mahangin-hangin naman, or baka sadyang 'di lang niya kaya yung init, sayang naman. "Oh, bat ang tahimik niyo?" Gon hyung asks when he and Seunghun walks to our direction.

"Yung Hana sa organization team, kaibigan niyo ba yon?" Tanong ni Ryujin, the two of them look at each other and then laugh.

Nagkatinginan naman kaming tatlo habang pailing-iling na natatawa pa rin sila Seunghun, "Sorry, we kind of expected na tatanungin niyo kami about her." Sabi ni Gon.

"She's in the same club with Gon eh naging close ko naman na 'to last school year, so we all hang out at the same place." Sagot ni Seunghun, "Masaya yon kasama lalo na pag natipuhan niya."

"Wow, lakas natin ah?" Hyung says while smiling, "Porke nagustuhan ka niya at close ka na rin sa kanya?" Our eyes widened while the two continues to throw banters.

So, mag-jowa sila ganon?

Napansin siguro nila ang itsura namin, "De, I meant she likes Seunghun's vibes. Don't worry, bunso, ikaw jojowain neto." Sabi ni Gon hyung which made Ryujin and Hyunjin laugh.

"Sobrang issue mo!" Seunghun says and hits hyung in the arm. Napailing na lang ako but the stares of the two are in a teasing manner kaya sila naman ang pinalo ko sa braso. Hyunjin's reaction is dramatic as usual but he didn't fight back dahil nagpaawa pa kay Ryujin.

"Wow, parehas kayong mapanakit ah?" Sabi ni Ryujin and I reddened more because of embarrassment! Awang-awa na ako kay Seunghun dahil siya napagdi-diskitahan ng kuya at tropa ko.

Tinignan ni Seunghun phone niya and it looks like someone texted. "Tignan mo naman 'tong tropa mo, andaming reklamo." He groans while showing Gon hyung the message on his screen, "Tamo! Ako pa pinapakuha ng yelo!"

"Edi kumuha ka, wala ka namang magagawa baka balatan ka non, ang init-init pa man din." Seunghun temporarily and dramatically closes his eyes pero umalis nga para kumuha ng yelo, "Si Hana yon, nag-chat, madali kasing mainitan."

Natapos na ang program at may oras pa para makipag-halubilo sa iba, Hana and Chanwoo finally were out of the backstage and went straight to Chan who is talking with us.

Ang mature ng vibes ni Chan but he's also fun to be with, sila ni Hyunjin ang nagkasundo agad and I didn't really wonder since they both love music and dance.

Nag-excuse muna samin si Chan para kausapin sila Hana, "Uuwi na ba agad tayo? Nag-aaya kasi sila na gumala." He said.

"Oh, then join them." Ngiting sabi ni Hana, "May gusto kasing puntahan si Chanwoo kaya I'll go with him, it's not yet dark anyway." I frowned, I was even looking forward to be with them after today's program.

"Okay, enjoy then." Nag-usap pa sila pero 'di na ako nakinig, dahil napansin ko na halata ang pagka-ilang nila Ryujin, lalo naman ni Hyunjin.

Aasarin ko sana but Gon hyung and Seunghun walks towards Chan, "Uy, Hana! Tara, gala ka namin nila Chanwoo dito!" Hyung says while smiling widely, mukhang excited kasi ililibot niya ang tropa niya dito samin.

"Noona will go somewhere with me." Dere-deretsong sabi ni Chanwoo na walang ka-ekspresyon sa mukha.

"Oh, uh." Hyung stutters, maya-maya, Hana smirked, Chanwoo looked at her while smiling at nag-apir pa! Mga alaskador nga! If only I'm not as surprised, I would've laughed at Gon hyung and Seunghun's faces.

"That's great! That's how you do it." Sabi ni Hana sa kapatid, "You're greater than me at this, ha?" Mas lumawak naman ang ngiti ni Chanwoo.

"Sobrang bad influence mo sa kapatid mo." Sabi ni Seunghun at nag-make face lang si Hana.

"Wala nga kayong nasabi pabalik eh." Chan laughed because of what his cousin just said, kaya napa-buntong hininga na lang yung dalawa. While they were talking, I noticed that Hyunjin is literally just looking at Hana.

Ryujin even notices it too which is why the both of us smiled secretly, and because we're very obvious, Hyunjin saw at inirapan lang kami, "Lahat na lang?" Tanong niya pero 'di na lang namin inasar.

The next day...

Hana's POV

I don't know if it's possible but my head hurts because of anger and annoyance dahil nakakairita, ang gusto ko mag-stay sa organizing team, bakit ako bibigyan ng mga bata na kelangan kong bantayan at kausapin?

Kaka-text lang ni Mino kay Chan na dahil may nag-back out na staff, they reorganized the teams for the children, which is why Seunghun was placed in Nol's team; wala sanang tanong-tanong don because it's fine with Seunghun,

"Pero, bakit ako damay?" I asked for the nth time while we are on the way to the venue, naiirita talaga ako. Ayoko pa man din makipag-halubilo sa ibang tao and especially with children! Si Chanwoo lang ang tiniisan ko at dahil kapatid ko siya.

Chanwoo is frowning, halatang malungkot because I'm stressed and because I won't be with him later on at the backstage. "I'll eat with you later." Sabi niya na para bang nire-reassure ako, i smiled and nodded.

Tahimik lang ako buong sakay namin papunta sa venue, digesting the fact I have to talk with other people. Bumuntong-hininga ako, as if I have a choice? At least, kasama ko si Hun sa iisang team.

Nakarating na kami, at pagkababa na pagkababa ko, Mino immediately apologized because of the sudden changes within the teams, nag-sorry ulit siya dahil halata pa rin ang stress sa mukha ko. I told him na it's fine and I can't do anything about it.

Dumiretso na si Chanwoo sa backstage saka ako umupo sa tabi ni Seunghun while I'm still holding my temple. I leaned on his shoulder because I'm getting nervous again.

Pinisil naman niya kamay ko, "It's okay, just stick with me."

"You're literally fond of kids." Sabi ko at natawa lang siya, he decided to talk non-sense things to me just to distract me and it works. Maya-maya, dumating na sila Nol with her tall friend.

"His name is Hyunjin, tas yung isa nating ka-team is Ryujin." Seunghun whispers as I simply nodded.
