Chapter Twenty Four - Part Two

Nakarating na kami and Suk immediately helped sa groceries, pagpasok ko naman sa bahay, I sighed because Gon hyung has been playing that game Changbin introduced to them for forever.

I introduced Jaemin to them and I got embarrassed nung inasar na naman nila in which Jaem just laughed to. We went to the kitchen and I keep on ignoring Ryujin's playful stare as she helps me prepare the cooking utensils.

"Please behave." I said sternly and she just widened her eyes in joking manner then nodded.

"So, ano uunahin natin? Lasagna?" Jaem asks which made Ryujin refrain a laugh and I haveclose my eyes to breathe deeply. "Ah, your friend ba will cook that, sige, the pasta muna, no?" I opened my eyes and nodded to him.

Ryujin sits in the table and watches the two of us move which bothered me, "Ryujin, please, kaya na namin 'to, dun ka na kay Suk."

"Stand by lang ako here in case you guys need help." She answers and again, 'di ko na naman gusto yung tono kasi mapang-asar talaga and I'm starting to regret this. Either makikigatong si Hana o pagsasabihan sila, pero sana talaga pagsabihan na lang niya.

Sasakit ulo ko sa mga 'to, lintek.

"Tangina, eto 'di mabiro, edi malilintikan din grade ko pag 'di ako tumino ngayon?" Ryujin said and I just glared at her.

"Aye, come on now, let her help." Jaem said and I pouted na lang, pwede naman kasi siyang humindi, bat pumayag-payag pa?

Tangina, Nol, andito na nga diba? Dami pang satsat. Just cook like you always used to.

"Leche ka, Changbin! Ano ba yan! Badtrip!" Natatawang sabi ni Gon hyung and I sighed dahil ang ingay na naman sa nilalaro.

"I'm so sorry." Sabi ko kay Jaem who just laughed.

"Okay lang yan." He simply said.

Hyunsuk went to the kitchen na tatawa-tawa pa rin, he gently holds Ryujin's wrist, ang landi kairita! "Ryujinnie, try mo yung game, you'll love it. Matatalo mo si Jisung in one go." I cringed hard sa tinawag niya kay Ryujin.

"Totoo ba? Oh tara." Ryujin said and natawa ako dahil gustong may talunin agad. When they left the kitchen, natawa ulit ako sa naguguluhang mukha ni Jaem, most probably dahil nga sa tinawag ni Suk.

"Nililigawan kasi."

His eyes widened as he gaped, "Ay, totoo ba? Ah, okay, kaya pala." He said and eventually laughed. Hindi ko rin namalayan na tapos na kami sa pag-chop ng ingredients kaya nilalagay na lang namin sa pot.

While stirring, "Oh, andyan na ata sila Hana."

"Fuck." I cuss the second I saw kuya Seunghoon's car parked sa may tapat ng bahay namin. Please, Lord, come through, ayoko magkagulo utang na loob.

He laughs, panigurado nakita na naman na kinabahan ako, "Kalmahan lang natin, Hana won't let anything go wrong." He said while patting my hair.

I deadpan, "Pinagsabihan ko lang yan sa GC, sinabi ba naman na baka sila Chenle na lang tulungan." Natawa naman siya at pumalakpak pa! Hmp, buti na lang gwapo siya kung 'di hinampas ko na siya ng kaldero.

Oh, bat binubuhos kay Jaem yung galit mo?

"Syempre, 'di papayag si Chenle, parehas pikon yung dalawang yon." He said which made me laugh. Reminder @ self, 'di mo kawalan if Seunghun acts up just like the bad bitch that you are, yeah that's right. Pagpapakalma ko sa sarili ko.

"Wow, magluluto kayo diba?" Rinig kong tanong ni Gon hyung kaya pati ako na-curious. Tumawa siya, "Ah, ganda kasi ng suot eh." And when I hear Ryujin choke on a laugh, I closed my eyes out of embarrassment.

"Anyway! Ano na naluto niyo?" Hana asks while smiling when she walks into the kitchen, before I can answer, naglakad na siya sakin to see what I'm almost done cooking. "Springs?"

"Oo, pero pasta-flavored." Panggagatong ni Jaem and I sighed which made the two laugh.

"Gago, Hana, try the game, I swear it's fun." Ryujin said. "Ah, nga pala, Jaemin, this is Hyunjin and Seunghun, guys, this is our classmate, Jaemin." She said as if 'di namin nababanggit si Jaem dun sa dalawa.

"And if I force the two of you to greet him properly, then what?" Hana daunted which made the three greet each other politely. Nagpigil na naman ng tawa si Ryujin while Hana's still glaring.

"Kalma lang po." Sabi ni Jaem kay Hana na natawa na lang.

Pota, awkward! Ulul, Nol, kayo lang yon ni Seunghun! Parang antagal na namin 'di nagkita ever since...

Sa luto ang focus, Nol! Sa luto!

"Ano na lulutuin?" He asks.

"Lasagna, expertise mo." Ryujin answered and I didn't budge, but I feel Hana's stare at me while she's casually sitting at the table. Ayos ah, lihim ang atake talaga neto kahit kelan.

"Fave mo, right?" Biglang sabi sakin ni Hyunjin at gustong-gusto kong basagin ang mga bungo ni Hana at Ryujin na tumingin pa sa isa't isa! They're way too obvious! I can even feel Jaemin's questioning stare sakin!

"Ah, oo." I awkwardly answered.
