I don't know if I should laugh or get annoyed at the cause of their fight.
"I'm not flirting with your girlfriend! She's the one who keeps approaching me!"inis na sigaw ni Yoon Gi doon sa kaaway niya kanina.
"Sabi sa akin ng gf ko, ikaw daw ang lumalapit!" gigil naman na sagot nung isa. Napapikit nalang ako sa inis. Habang ang principal naman ay nakakunot ang noo. Hindi pa ganun katanda ang principal namin, sa tingin ko'y nasa 30's palang ito, mabait siya kesa sa guidance kaya naisip kong dito nalang sila dalhin.
"And you believe that? what the hell-"
"Stop", natatawang pigil ni Mr. Principal sa kanila. Lumingon si Mr. Principal sa akin at tinaasan ako ng kilay.
"May na damage sila?" he asked, I turned to see Haruki who was also standing on the side. They shook their head at the same time so I just did it too. "Wala po", mahinang sagot ko.
"Asaan yung babaeng pinag aawayan niyo?" tanong ni Mr. Principal, nagkatinginan naman yung dalawang nag away.
"I think she left-" naputol ang sasabihin ni Yoon Gi ng biglang pumasok yung babaeng umiiyak kanina. "Clara!" sigaw nung kaaway ni Yoon Gi. Napabuga nalang ng hangin si Yoon Gi at umiwas ng tingin.
"Ikaw yun?", animo'y hindi makapaniwala na usal ni Ah Ki. Nag 'sshh' nalang ako sa kanya kaya agad naman siyang tumahimik. The woman they were fighting with was the woman who was crying on the side earlier.
"I'm sorry, Yoon Gi! Nadamay ka pa sa away nam-"
"Anong- Bakit ka nag sosorry sa lalaking yan, Clara?!" The man complained angrily to Clara while pointing at my brother.
"I'll cut off your finger if you don't put it down", pagbabanta ko kaya agad naman niya itong binaba at umayos ng upo. Nakita ko namang napangisi si Yoon Gi, tila nagyayabang. Si Mr. Principal naman ay nanonood lang na animo'y nag eenjoy sa nangyayari.
"Sir sorry! Si Budoy po talaga may kasalanan nun! Kinukulit niya po kasi ako eh ayoko na po sa kanya. Kaya dinahilan ko na may bago akong boyfriend at si Yoon Gi yun, sorry Yoon Gi" the girl almost begged Yoon Gi while Budoy's reaction was shocked.
"Taenang pangalan yan, budoy", I heard Ah Ki whisper so I immediately nudged her shoulder. The two laughed a little, I almost laugh too so I averted my eyes and pretended not to hear to suppress it.
"Osiya. Budoy, mag sorry ka kay Yoon Gi. Sa susunod kasi dapat inaalam mo muna ang totoo. Walang kaalam alam yung tao biglang sasapakin" mahinahong pangaral kay Budoy ni Mr. Principal, nahihiya naman itong tumungo.
Ilang minuto din ang hinintay namin bago napag disisyunan na mag sorry nung Budoy.
"Sige. S-sorry Yoon Gi, p-pre" mahinang sabi nito habang nakatungo pa rin.
"Repeat it while looking straight to my eyes. I can't feel the sincerity in your apology", Yoon Gi replied arrogantly. Budoy was surprised because of that and was hesitant whether to look up or not to apologize.
Another minutes nanaman ang hinintay namin upang makatingin sa mata ni Yoon Gi si Budoy. Ramdam ko nang bored na bored na itong mga katabi ko kasi ginagalaw galaw na nila ang paa nila. Nangangawit na din ako.
We thought he was going to apologize when he bravely looked up at Yoon Gi, Haruki immediately smiled because she could finally say what we had been waiting for.
"Hay sawakas makakauw-"
Natsumi's remarks got cut off by Budoy's sudden burst of emotion. "Teka ang unfair naman ata!" we were surprised by Budoy's complain. Haruki's smile disappeared immediately when she heard that. "Nasapak din naman niya ako, bakit ako lang ang manghihingi ng tawad?" pangangatwiran pa nito.
"Pigilan niyo ko, ako sasapak dyan", Natsumi whispered to us. Ah Ki, on the other hand, just stumbled upon what Budoy said. Even Mr. Principal was speechless.
"Ikaw kaya sapakin ko biglaan, di ka gaganti?!" inis na sabi ni Yoon Gi. Ramdam kong nanggigigil na dahil biglang nag tagalog, kahit ako e naiinis na sa kaaway niya. Ang daming checheburetche mag sosorry lang naman.
"Unfair pa rin yun sir-"
"Magsosorry si Yoon Gi kapag nag sorry kana" bigla ay sabi ko nalang. Yoon Gi immediately turned to me, shocked. "Noona!" he shouted. Pinandilatan ko nalang siya ng mata para tumigil, padabog naman siyang umayos ng upo.
"Usapan yan ah?" Ani Budoy. I nodded. I'm already hungry and when this thing lasts longer I'll beat them both and I'll be the one to apologize.
"Patawad, Yoon Gi" sabay sabay kaming bumuntong hininga nang mag hingi na siya ng tawad. Pati si Mr. Principal ay gumanun din.
"It's your turn, Yoon Gi" maotoridad na utos ko. He turned to me and folded his arms and then looked at Budoy.
"Mianhe,sekya", mayabang na usal nito. Nangunot ang noo ko at nainis dahil masama ang ibig sabihin ng pangalawang word na sinabi niya. Nangunot din ang noo ni Budoy, hindi ata naintindihan. Natawa naman yung tatlo.
"yah Lee Yoon Gi!" sigaw ko.
"Sorry!" biglang sigaw niya kay Budoy saka nilahad pa ang palad. Masama ko siyang tinignan kaya lumingon siya sa akin at nag Peace sign.

"Hay.. Onti nalang kanina mababatukan na din kita Yoon Gi" pangaral ko sa kanya. Nakayuko naman siya habang naglalakad kami papunta sa Phone repair shop.
"I'm sorry Ate. He's really annoying! Imagine me eating quietly and then someone suddenly pulled my collar and throw a punch?" pag kwento niya sa amin. Nakikinig naman yung tatlo.
"Dapat hindi lang yun yung ginawa mo, dapat tinadyakan mo na din", pag gatong pa ni Natsumi. Tinitigan ko nga ng masama, nag make face naman ito.
He just laugh at what Natsumi said then turn to me again. "By the way, Ate. San tayo pupunta?"
"Nasira cp ng ate mo, nalaglag kanina" sagot ni Ah Ki sa kanya. Yoon Gi was surprised and immediately held out his hand to me. I looked at it curiously.
"Patingin", nauubusang pasensyang aniya. I sighed first before handing my phone to him.
"Grabe namang basag to?" nagtatakang aniya. Tumango naman kami.
"Ay teka, may tumatawag sa akin kanina. Sa tingin ko sila Papa, tumawag ba sayo?" I immediately asked him that when I remembered someone called earlier but I didn't able to answer because of my phone's situation.
"Sila Papa? Hindi ko alam e. Nalimutan ko icharge ang cellphone ko kagabi kaya lowbat na agad kanina pa bago mag recess" sagot niya sa akin. Napanguso nalang ako at tumango.

When we got back from the repair shop we immediately went to the nearby mini stop. I'm really hungry and I told Yoon Gi to charge his phone for a while so I can inform Dad that we'll be home late because we'll be waiting for my cellphone to finish. It was said to be done in two hours so we need to wait within that time.
Bumili lang kami ng ready to eat foods dito dahil naisip naming lahat na sa mga kanya kanyang bahay kami mag di-dinner. Agad naman na pumayag yung tatlo.
While eating the TV news caught our attention. Suddenly I lose the energy to hold the spoon I was holding, same as the three, they were stunned by the TV containing news that would change the course of my life.
"Pinagbabaril ng hindi pa nakikilalang civilian ang kotseng itim na ito na naglalaman ng dalawang tao. Nakompirmang ang sakay nito ay ang tumatakbong Mayor ng bayan na si Hyun Joo Lee kasama ang asawa.. Tinatalang sampo ang sugatan at anim ang patay sa pamamaril na naganap sa **** at kasalukuyang nasa South Medical Hospital ang asawa ngunit dead on the spot naman ang tumatakbong mayor-"
"papa, mama" wala sa sariling naiusal ko.
