Chapter Twenty Two - Part Two

I shot my head up quickly to look at him, "Shut up."

"Shut up." He mocks with his voice and face which made me laugh, halatang 'di nagpapadala dahil sa nalaman niya ngayon. "Nice, I'll have a new hobby na."

"Jaem, putangina..." Pasinghal na sabi ko which made him laugh once more, I can see him and Hana bonding over drama and 'di ko alam kung mae-excite ako o mapi-pikon kasi malamang, ako na naman target.

"Let's just do the report some other time, take this afternoon off muna." He said and I smiled and nodded in thanks. "Oh, wait, you called me Jaem na." Naka-ngiti niyang sabi and I stopped in realization.

"No..."

He laughs and claps his hands pa, pasalamat siya mabait siya! "Friend drama lang pala is what it takes eh." Natatawa niyang sabi so I just made face, he told me kasi last week na it's okay to call him Jaem since it's his nickname sa mga ka-close niya.

Eh ayoko naman mag-feeling porke iilang araw pa lang kami nag-uusap though I already feel our closeness, but still, it feels too much for me kahit I find myself sometimes slipping.

"Nice, nice, sige, gamitin mo rin yon pang-selos sa kaibigan mo."

My eyes widened, blushing as I stammer, "Hoy! Eh it's your nickname naman talaga eh!" I frowned and pouted, even if I know he knows it isn't my intention, him teasing makes it look it is!

"Tas ngayon mo lang ginamit?" He teases.

"Shut up, Jaemin." I said with full emphasis sa pangalan niya.

"Corny mo." Sabi niya at inirapan ko lang siya. Thankfully, it wasn't really awkward when we decided to fix the papers na and go back to the classroom as if nothing major happened. Back to normal lang, me talking to Hana and Ryujin, and him talking to Jeno.

Wala masyado pinagawa prof namin for the last subject kaya early dismissal kami, "Tara, meryenda tayo sa labas." Pag-aaya ni Ryujin.

"Oh no, sasaglit ako kela Chan, antayin ko dumating si Chanwoo." Sabi ni Hana and Ryujin pouted so she faces me.

"I'll finish pa the report." I lied and I didn't heed Jaem's knowing glance towards me. "Why don't you meet up with Suk na lang?"

"Pupunta raw kela Chan kasama si Raesung." Ryujin answered, "Eh ayoko naman tumambay sa studio." She complains, pouting.

"Then just take the afternoon off or ayain mo si Hyunjin." Hana said but Ryujin shrugs her shoulders so we take it as she'll take the afternoon off.
