Chapter Twenty - Part Two

Nol's POV

"Hey, chef." Bati ko kay Jaemin pagpasok ko sa room at pagtingin niya sakin. He laughed and then walk towards me, I simply didn't heed Ryujin's confused stare and umupo na lang sa upuan ko.

"You're one to talk." Jaemin said and it's my turn to laugh. "I actually did one of your recipes for my late night snack kagabi and wow, Nol, it was insane." Natatawang sabi niya at mas natawa ako dahil he expressed using his body, mas cute tuloy siya tignan.

"Ay ano ba yan, all I did was to list yung mga suggestions mo eh since hyung ko nagluto samin kagabi." I said, pouting.

"Oh, I have a pdf, I forgot to tell you. Send ko sayo pag-uwi, remind mo lang ako." My eyes widened as I gape. Kingina! Nandito na ata sa lalaking 'to lahat eh! Natawa naman siya, "I'm dead serious!"

"Seryoso rin ako! Send it to me ah!" Nakangiting sabi ko.

"Oo nga! Just remind me!" Natatawang sabi niya. At dahil wala pa naman teacher namin, nag-daldalan pa muna kami about malamang sa pagkain at sa mga recipes, I was even delighted dahil there's no dead air samin, patuloy-tuloy lang kami.

Thank God that the classmate and club-mate that I have is also obsessed with cooking, we can talk non-stop about it. I still can't kind of believe it na ang natural na "pair" ko sa Journ Club ay siya, if magiging OA ako, para bang destined.

Ulol, Nol, porke gwapo?

Inalis ko agad yon sa isip ko, "What's happening?" Ryujin asked because Jaemin and I looked so hyped.

"Chef." Jaemin and I simultaneously answer sarcastically, nagkatinginan pa kami sabay apir while Ryujin just shakes her head in disbelief dahil na rin siguro may bago na naman akong makakadaldalan.

A classmate of ours called Jaemin for help in one of our subjects kaya nagpaalam na muna siya sakin, "Ano, jowa mo na?" Tanong ni Ryujin and I stammered so I hit her arm which she simply snickered at.

"Gago? At least you guys will soon have new food to taste na galing sa recipes niya." Iritable kong sabi at natawa lang siya sa pikon ko.

"Wow, so napalitan na ba si Papa Bear ng ganon-ganon lang?" She kids around with a sad yet teasing look and smile on her face, I couldn't help but to roll my eyes but she just laughed. "Ayie, namula, miss mo na si Papa Bear, no?"

I widened my eyes on her, "Dami mong sinasabi!"

"Talaga." Instead na mapikon, natawa na lang ako kasi with conviction niya yon sinabi. Mang-aasar na ulit sana siya but our first subject teacher arrived so she just pouted her way to sitting properly.
