Chapter Twenty Two - Part Three

hun: bawal?

ryujin: damn bitch OK BYE

I massaged my temple out of stress because it didn't become any better. I siged and chat Seunghun.

should i come over

hun: DUDE PLEASE DO IM LOSING MY MIND HERE

"Oh, san ka pupunta?" Tanong ni kuya Minho dahil kumuha ako ng mga pang-labas na damit.

"Kay Seunghun lang."

"Mag-almusal ka muna."

"Ih, galit samin si Ryujin ngayon eh." I said while pouting which made him laugh, wala ng tanong tanong kung anong nangyare dahil alam naman na ugali ng kapatid.

"Tapos na yon kumain, nasa kwarto naman niya siya, so just go have breakfast muna." He insisted so I sighed and just followed.

I sat across Seunghun sa couch nila, halata pa rin ang bwisit sa mukha niya pero halata rin na pilit niyang kumakalma.

"Ano ba kasi nangyare? How did this start?" I finally asked because the silence isn't helping the both of us, mas lalo lang siya nagagalit so I have to have him speak his thoughts para na rin maintindihan ko pinanggagalingan neto.

He sighs, "Well, Nol went to our classroom last Wednesday to take me out sana since we're starting to get busy again but I can't go with her dahil mag-uumpisa na ako that day itself."

My eyebrows furrowed, it's impossible na Nol will blow things up just because of that? She would most definitely understand dahil ayaw niya ring naiistorbo sa mga gawain niya so I can't comprehend how it lead to this?

"She visited unexpectedly and 'di ko alam kung pano siya i-approach because the workload was too much for me when it was given that day." He sighs, looking at the ground and I can't help but to frown. "Of course, I'd love to be with her, it's been a while na nga eh pero..." he shrugs his shoulders.

After a few minutes, I ask, "Eh kung ganon lang naman pala, bat hanggang ngayon 'di pa kayo ayos? Bat may minention pa si Hana na mga pangalan?"

I get why Ryujin will naturally side with Nol, but I don't understand why she and Hana are just fine with this set up? Scratch that, para namang sinisisi ko sila. Eh sa ano bang alam ko sa buong nangyare?

"It's because I need Lia's help sa chem and she was insisting na she'll help me that time around too so nagka-conflict sa kagustuhan ni Nol na ilabas ako, I do appreciate it talaga but it got the best of me.

"And 'di ako makabawi that day because alam mo naman pano uminit ulo non at kelangan ng space para mag-isip." He tells me and I nodded to that dahil never naming in-approach si Nol na mainit pa ang ulo niya, mas lalo lang lumalala.

"I tried apologizing yesterday and to make it up to her but she's the busy one naman na." He ruffles his hair, halatang problemado at ayaw din na ganto ang nangyayare samin. "She was adamant on insisting na tatapusin nila ng kaklase niya yung ginagawa nila."

I looked at him as if asking if the classmate was the Jaemin guy and he nodded, no wonder sila ang minention ni Hana...

"This won't make it any better, pero pano na?" I ask, he looks at me and shrugs his shoulders once more. Ryujin's still pissed, Hana is with Jisung na naman, and Nol will stay in school way longer dahil sa mga ipapagawa. "Can you try again later?"

He averted his gaze and I sighed internally, talagang damay-damay na 'to. "Should I talk to her? Or kahit man lang si Ryujin o Hana?" As desperate as I may sound, I want this to be over dahil 'di rin naman nakakatulong 'to samin.
