Chapter 37
[ No Jerk ]
"You are so impossible, Kai." I shook my head. He's been insisting that I should stay with Luhan while he's away.
Aikee was discharged. For him to have further medical assistance, they decided to go abroad. Since Aikee got his passport recently, ipapatatak na nila iyon. Kai will be gone for a week or two para ihatid ang kapatid sa Berlin kung saan naninirahan ang kanilang parents.
"Believe me, Franj.. Luhan will be good, nag-usap na kami." Pag-aaro sa akin ni Kai. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin kasi naiiyak ako.
This is not my Kai. My Kai used to be so selfish of me. Ni ayaw niya akong lumapit kay Luhan. Dumampi man ang daliri ni Luhan sa akin ay handa siyang pumatay. But things changed, siya pa mismo ang nagtutulak sa aking lumapit kay Luhan.
Baby, he used to be my boyfriend.. Aren't you bothered?
My crankiness didn't change his mind. They flew to Berlin, he wants me to go with them on airport but I refused, nagtatampo ako.
If Kai was still my Kai, he will not go unless I'm in the frame of my mind. But to no avail, he left me at this position. This made me think, pinaglalapit na niya ba kami ni Luhan?
He is my boyfriend. Walang matinong boyfriend ang irereto ang kanyang girlfriend sa bestfriend nito. Pwera nalang kung hindi na niya ito mahal.
Ibig sabihin—no, huwag naman sana.
"Tara na?" Luhan said as I stepped out of their mansion. Yes, mansion. If I'm going to say 'their house' that would be not much for this very huge and elegant mansion. Too elegant that you would even probably think that here's where the most prominent and the richest person on earth lives.
And yes, they made me stay with him, our friends, especially my sibling Baekhyun. I don't know what's in their mind. Good thing, nothing happened, Luhan behaved the whole night I stayed in his refuge. He let me slept in the most comfortable bedroom I ever slept in. And his room is few rooms away from mine.
I wonder how his haven looks like.
Siguro puro black dun. Si Luhan pa?
Ngiting aso ang sinalubong ng barkada sa amin. Itong baliw na Cheyenne ay nag-heart sign pa gamit ang kanyang amay.
Mga baliw.
And this set-up went on. Lagi kong kasama si Luhan at lagi akong iritable sa kanya paano ba naman ay hindi pa ako tinatawagan ni Kai o kaya'y kinokontak man lang. hindi naman nawawala sa uso ang Berlin diba? May cellphone naman dun, mas techy pa nga sila kesa dito.
Nakakatampo.
"Nakabusangot ka na naman," biglang dumating si Luhan habang nandito ako sa library para naman makapagrelax ang utak ko sa ingay, kasama ko si Erin. Inabot niya ang mukha ko at saka inistretch ang labi ko, making them form a smile.
Hinawi ko ang kamay niya at tiningnan siya ng masama.
"Faksyit, Luhan! Laging nasisira araw ko kapag dumadating ka!" iritable kong sabi.
"Hayaan mo, Franj. Simula bukas, gabi na ako magpapakita sayo." He winked. He's being childish now. I kinda like it, pero nakakainis!
"What the fck, Luhan? Can you stay away from me? You're acting like my boyfriend when you're really not. Matagal na tayong tapos. Naiintindihan mo ba?"
Nag-iwas siya ng tingin. I got him there, I know him too well.
"Ikaw ang nagloko at ngayon may gana ka pang bumalik. Ang kapal ng budhi mong walang hiya ka," wala sumabog na. Hindi na ako makapagtimpi. Mga kinimkim ko, lumalabas na ngayon.
"Franj, stop.." Erin tapped my back. Tinitignan si Luhan para ang humihingi ng dispensa sa asal ko.
Napalunok si Luhan, halatang guilty ang putspa.
"A-alis muna ako." Sabi niya saka tumayo. Mabuti naman, ang kapal ng mukha mo e.
"Franj naman, kita mo yung ginawa mo kay kuya Luhan?" Talak ni Erin na kanina ay busyng busy sa kakatext kung kanino.
"Erin, did you also see what Luhan did to me?"
And that made Erin render speechless.
"He's sorry, Franj." Marahang sabi ni Erin. He's sorry? Saan banda? Itong pagkulong niya sa akin sa bahay ay parte ba ng pagsosorry niya?
"He's not. No jerk will be sorry for his being jerk." Alright, snide remark has been done. Sorry for being such a brat here.
"But kuya Luhan is no jerk." Depensahan mo pa, Erin. Naiinis na rin ako sa sa iyo! Tiningnan ko si Erin na pagsulyap sulyap sa kanyang phone.
"Oh yeah, he's a heartless gangster," sarkastiko kong komento. Bakit ba pinapamukha ng lahat sa akin ngayon na mabuti si Luhan? Huh?
Hinawakan ni Erin ang magkabilang balikat ko at hinuli ang aking tingin, "Frangeline.. You have to have open your eyes, see him.. Look beyond your sight."
Kumawala ako sa kanya, "You're too poetic, Erin. Who are you texting, anyway?" I changed the topic. At lumapit sa kanya ng kaunti.
"W-wala!" Agad niyang nilayo ang phone niya sakin. Natunugan niya atang titingnan ko iyon. Lumapit kasi ako.
Grabe, alam ko namang si Sehun ang katext niya, bakit niya pa kailangang itago?
"Sus. Puntahan mo na.. nasa X-room lang naman siya e." I teased.
"This is not Sehun..." She avoided my gaze and lowered her tone.
"Patingin!" agad kong naagaw kay Erin ang cellphone niya at iniiwasan si Erin na makuha ang phone niya. Pilit niya itong inaagaw.
This is way too intruding but I really can't help myself finding-out something about Erin.
[Normal font - Erin; Bolded - Guy who's Erin is texting with]
I read the sender's name. The name saved was... SIR.
'wala na bang chance?'
'wala na..'
'I'll court you.'
'don't, this is wrong.'
'we always are'
'please..'
'baby.. I still love you.'
'taecyeon;('
Natulala ako who's Taecyeon to Erin?
She never mentioned such name before. Is this why Sehun's so aloof with her? Dahil may Taecyeon ito?
