Chapter Twenty Two - Part Three

And it's already been days! Mag-one week na nga bukas eh! As much as I believe na it's best na mag-usap after mag-cool down, hindi naman to the point na ganto na katagal!

"I don't even know where or who to begin with." He says. "I don't know where Hana stands since she approached the GC na kaming dalawa ang pinagsabihan, tas kasama pa si Jisung ngayon. Ryujin..." he sighs, "malamang galit pa."

"Then I'll talk to her, mas okay kausapin yon na mainit ang ulo kesa kay Nol." Napangiti naman siya kaya napangiti na rin ako. "I think she can convince Nol naman para makapag-usap na kayo. Ugh, ang hirap talaga pag parents nag-aaway."

"Gunggong! Nakuha pang mag-biro!" Sabi niya na natatawa rin naman kaya effective lang din yung pagbibiro ko. "I hope this ends, ayokong mas lumaki gap namin."

"'Di yan, lalambot din naman puso ni mama bear pag dating sayo." I said with a teasing smile on my face and it's effective once more dahil namula siya ng malala! Pag si Nol talaga topic at sa kahit anong context, masyadong seryoso.

"Daming sinasabi!" He said, attempting to throw me the couch pillow but I just made face so he just rolled his eyes, obviously defeated.

Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko sa dorm, ang sama agad ng tingin ni Ryujin sakin and because of instinct, I avoided my gaze.

Kuya Minho was no help either dahil pinagtawanan pa kami nung kakagaling lang niya sa kusina. Mukhang may pinuntahan dahil nakapang-alis. "San ka galing, kuya?"

"Sinama ako nila Jisung at Hana sa gala nila." He simply answered before going to our shared room.

"Oh, ikaw, san galing?" Ryujin asked all of a sudden which made me flinch. Tono ng boses netong babaeng 'to... kahit sino mapapaamin.

I sat on the chair opposite to her, "Kela Seunghun." She rolled her eyes instantly at the mention of our friend's name and I sighed, "Ryujin..."

"Wala akong sinasabi." Agad niyang banat, but then thankfully, she let me tell her what Hun and I talked about, she had no reactions whatsoever but at least she isn't glaring at me which is a good thing I can say.

It was her turn naman and I just knew that the three of them met up dito nung Sunday, "Hana wanted to talk to Seunghun pero umayaw kami ni Nol because we wanted him to make the move just like what you did."

Natahimik naman ako, I suddenly got flustered dahil mukhang nadamay ko pa nga si Hun sa 'di ko pag-approach kay Hana dati, I sighed and looked at Ryujin, "He did for me and Hana, he actually talked some sense to me."

Siya naman ang natigilan, mukhang nanibago sa narinig niya and I can't blame her, but knowing her the most, may sumbat na naman, "Oh, yun naman pala eh, bat 'di niya magawa kay Nol? What's taking him so long?"

"Dahil nga sa mga requirements." I answered as if namang 'di ko nasabi sa kanya kanina lang.

"Oh, tas magagalit siya na si Nol naman ang busy ngayon?" I kept quiet because she has a point but I also couldn't fully blame Hun. "Ano gusto niya mangyare?"

"He doesn't know the right time when to talk to Nol." I answered and she stayed silent.

"At gusto niya kami ni Hana gagawa ng paraan?" I sighed once more, my shoulders dropping but she just rolled her eyes, she just stares outside the window, 'di naman katagalan pero feeling ko mamamatay ako kaka-antay ng sagot niya.

I pouted when she looked at me, mukhang na-pikon pero sanay naman na, "Fine."

"Talaga?" I asked in a hopeful tone, she nodded so I stand up to hug her pero ang gaga showed me her fist so I just laughed.

Seunghun's POV

Right after Hyunjin left, I busied myself with my other requirements para 'di ko na masyadong isipin yung nangyare kagabi lang, at para mabawasan yung ginagawa ko dahil may practice kinabukasan.

I decided to check my phone at napangiti ako nung saktong nag-chat si Lia.

hahaha next week friday

Our conversation prolonged talking about the dance practice but mostly acad stuff lang din naman. We naturally got even closer dahil na rin sa mga activities since parehas lang naman ang circle of friends namin sa room.

I also started to not mind yung pagiging clingy niya and pag tuwing nagpapaturo siya dahil madali lang naman siyang turuan, iba nga lang talaga learning style niya.

Kaya hindi ko na rin namalayan na pa-gabi na pala at kakauwi lang ni kuya Seunghoon. "You're tutoring the others ulet? Mag-midterms niyo na, right?" He asks and I stammered, ngayon ko lang napansin na none of us bothered to even bring it up.

"Ah, classmate ko ka-chat ko, hyung." I answered and he just nodded, kahit halata rin na medyo nagulat siya. I sighed internally dahil naiisip ko na naman yung nangyare lang samen.

"You guys seem to have a problem whenever exams are coming up." Natatawang sabi niya kaya nagulat ako.

"Ha?"

He laughs and shakes his head, "Nung prelims, you said you were paranoid and now you suddenly spaced out. Even Mino is complaining na 'di siya kinakausap ni Nol." Kuya answered and I got even more silent. "So, meron nga?"

I nodded meekly and he shakes his head while smiling, "It's fun to watch you guys be childish." I gaped out of surprise, natawag pa kaming isip-bata! He laughed more, "That's normal, one way or another, it will be fixed."

"Hana isn't even budging." I said, pouting then he got silent.

"Oh, Mino told me that she's hanging out frequently with Gon kaya inakala ko na kachat mo either sila Hana o si Gon." Sabi niya then he shrugs his shoulders, "Anyway, I have dinner delivered by 30 minutes." He said then leaves my room.

I sighed then checked the GC, kinda hoping na Hana will or did send photos of her hang-out with Jisung today pero wala, ang huling message lang is yung kay Ryujin.

Bat ba ang iinit ng ulo namin? I ask myself while I back-read yung sa kaninang umaga at kagabi. I closed my eyes and breathe deeply when I found myself na napipikon na naman. "Kalma, you already talked to Hyunjin, for sure nakausap na non si Ryujin." I whispered to myself.
