Chapter 19
The Intro for the Side Stories
“Should I show you how?” I WANNA SCREAM!!!
ACk! Gomen readers, napaka-wild ko ata ngayon! Hahah! Me photoshoot kami ngayon dito sa studio ni Nee Sa, eh napagtripan nya akong proxy para dun sa model na missing-in-action sa last minute.
Ngayon ba? I’M DROOLING OVER KIM HYUN-JOONG! UWAAA! The face of Face Shop! Ang gwapo ng skin nya, parang nahiya tuloy ako sa akin. Haha!
Right, Nandito pala si Jungshin, at aigoo.. walang kangiti-ngiti. Galit kaya sya kasi wala man lang kaong sinabi na nasa South Korea na ako? Haha! Teka, assumera ata ako. Eh sino ba naman ako para maka-garner ng ganyang attention, aber?
“Good job!” Rinig kong sabi ni Nee Sa. Aigoo, ang hirap pala ng trabaho ng model, emote ng emote sa camera, eh ako pa naman yung gloomy type. Aish… “Okaaay.. Nice. Nice..” WEH? Di nga?
“We’ll have the couple shots now. “ JDEJCMJGFJSFJIEUSJFN!!!! ACK!! *//////////*
The killer smile of Kim Hyun-Joong! WAAA!!! Parang dadanak ang dugo ko dito ng di oras! WAAA!!! Lumapit na si Hyun-Joong at tumabi sa akin. “Ready?” OH SHIT! Never in my dreams again na makakasama ko si Ji Hoo sa ganto! KYA!
“A-ah,” tumango lang ako habang nakangiti na parang eng-eng. Feeling ko eh ang liit-liit ko na, di ko kaya ang charisma ni Ji hoo!!! WAAA!
“Aileen, closer.” AAACK!!! AYOKONG MAGING MALANDI PERO DI KO MAPAGILAN! Joke. HAHAHA! Ayan pa, holding hands pa kami kunwari. WAAA! MY WHOLE BEING IS JUMPING UP AND DOWN!!!! “Aileen, look into his eyes.”
“EH?” Para naman akong nakuryente sa sinabi ni Nee Sa. Waaa! AWKWARD!! MAG-O-VERHEAT na ako any moment now!!!! Me magnet ata ang mata ni Ji HOO , I mean Kim Hyun-Joong, AHHhH!!! I’M DYING!
“Okay! That’s a wrap! Good Job everyone!” WHEW! FINALLY! Kasi kung aabutin pa to ng ilang minuto, bibigay na ata puso ko. Di naman ata na-fracture ribs ko sa lakas ng kabog nito ano? LOL!
“Not bad for your first time,” sabi ni Ji Hoo sakin. WAA! Stop na, I wanna live pa!
“A-ah.. Hai, Thank you so much for your help.” Sabi ko with matching bow. Masakit na dibdib ko, promise, kaya naman medyo pinipilit ko na ngiti ko. Umalis na din naman si Hyun Joong/Ji hoo, parang nagmamadali ata. Aigoo.. Cameo lang siguro sya sa life ko. HAHA! Gomen..
Ah.. Kelangan ko ng umupo. Pinraktis ko na naman yung breathing exercise na tinuro sakin para kahit papano, maging normal ako, Inhale, exhale.
“Gwaenchana?” Lee Jungshin. Muntik na kitang malimutan for a moment. Umupo sya sa tabi ko, kunot-noo na at nag-aalala na naman ata. Kinuha nya yung mineral water sa me lamesa at binigay sa akin. Ahh.. ang sweet, pinagbuksan pa ako.
“Arigatou,” sabi ko. Ininom ko na rin, at ramdam ko namang nahimasmasan na ako kahit papano. Aigoo.. iniiwasan ko talagang ma-excite ng sobra-sobra kasi ganto nag nangyayari sa akin.
“Daijobou?” Tanong nya ulit, pero in Japanese na.
“Hai,” Sabi ko sabay ngiti.

The whole time Aileen was smiling in front of the camera, I just felt amazed. She’s very good actually, and to think she’s not a pro.
But then she started to act strangely, like when she have those breathing exercises she did during the instances we met the last time. She said she’s okay but she doesn’t look like one.
“Aileen!” I heard Nee Sa call. Aileen looked up and smiled like nothing bad happened.
“Yah! You owe me big time,” she answered while pretending to be mad.
“Geez.. Ara, but still.. Thank you so much, okay? You saved us,” Nee Sa said. Aileen nodded and smiled.
“Of course. Glad to be of help,” by and by Aileen would look weird but then she would still smile sweetly at Nee Sa.
“Are you okay?” Nee Sa asked. So she noticed it too.
“Uhm!” Aileen nodded. “Just need some air.” She then turned to me, her smile disappeared. “Could I talk to you for a moment?” That’s a surprise. I hastily agreed, wondered what she could be saying.
I saw Nee Sa smiled that knowing smile. “Ahem. I remembered I have to do something first. Aileen, let me know if I should send you home, okay?” Nee Sa left us.
Aileen unscrewed the cap of the bottle and played with it. It’s really obvious when she’s nervous. “Gomen,” I heard her say.
“Nan desu ka?” I asked. For what?
“I showed up without telling you.”
I smiled. “HA! I was really surprise you know. You should have emailed me, or something.” She looked at me questionly. “I mean, I could have helped you, like tour you around Seoul.”
She smiled. “Ah. Nee Sa’s doing a good job with that. She agreed to become my tourguide.”
“I see. So when did you arrived?”
She turned to me but then glanced away quickly, “Two days ago.”
“When will you start working?” its weird, but the two of us are staring ahead while talking.
“Monday,” she answered.
We are silent for a moment, Aileen is still staring into space. I wonder what she could be thinking. “Ah~!” I remembered something. “Do you have any plans tomorrow?” I asked.
She shook her head in reply. “None, I think. Nee Sa haven’t said anything yet of us going to Hongdae. Why?”
I smiled at her no-idea expression. “We’ll have a date.”

“OPPA!!!! I MISS YOU!!” The squeling voice of Dae-In nuna sent us all to the living room. We watched in horror and amazement as nuna flew on top of Jonghyun-hyung, who at the time, is holding a laddle on his hand.
“Woah! Look at that. I didn’t know Dae-In could fly.” Yonghwa-hyung commented. Jonghyun-hyung lost his balance and is thrown over his back by nuna’s weight.
“Yah! Nuna! Hyung can’t breathed!” Minhyuk said as he poked nuna’s leg with his foot.
“Ah.. Hyung..” I asked hesitantly. “G-gwaenchana?” Yonghwa-hyung’s laughter is now playing on the background, and I can’t help but laugh along. Aigoo. Jonghyun-hyung’s face… Epic. Hahah!
“Ah! Oppa! Gwaenchana?!” Nuna asked in alarm. I think its obvious that he’s not. Haha! Nuna stood up and watched as we helped Jonghyun-hyung stood up.
Hyung nodded his head in daze. “Aigoo, it seems like you’ve gained a lot of weight Andie.” Yonghwa-hyung said with a chuckle.
Nuna’s eyes widened and glared at hyung. “JINJJA??!!! OMO!!! Eottokhae?” Well, it seems like nuna’s still obsessed with her figure. Haha! The moment became even more funnier when Yonghwa-hyung nodded his head in serious answer.
That did the job. Nuna exploded. Kidding. Nuna freaked out. HAHAHA! We all laughed at the scene.
“Ah! By the way, what brought you here nuna?” Minhyuk asked.
“Let me guess, ‘To see oppa, of course!’” Yonghwa-hyung answered. Haha! Possibly. We all laughed at the mimicry, even Jongyun-hyung who would always freak out whenever he hears nuna’s voice.
“Jungshin told me to come and bring these,” Nuna said as she pointed towards the two picnic baskets she brought “And, to see oppa, of course! Kya!” Jonhyun-hyung just ruffled his hair.
“Kamsahamnida nuna,” I then took the baskets and placed it in the counter.
“More food?” I heard Minhyuk asked.
“What’s the occasion by the way?” Nuna asked. I assume she’s holding on hyung’s arm again. I turned around to answer. Right. I guess right. haha!
“Shin-a’s bringing some girl,” Jonghyun-hyung answered.
“EH?? Who?” Nuna asked, wide-eyed.
“Aileen.” I answered simply and then started unpacking the food.
In any second now…
“AILEEN??!” Yonghwa-hyung.
“THE BLUE HAIRED NUNA?!” Minhyuk.
“Wait! Blue?? Is she a rocker or something??” Nuna.
“I KNEW IT!” Jonghyun-hyung.
They all said that at the same time. Now that I think about it, I haven’t told them it’s Aileen.
They are all staring at me and I know they would be asking twenty-twenty questions now.
“SHE’S HERE??” Yonghwa-hyung.
“IS Nee Sa coming too?” Minhyuk.
“Who’s Nee Sa?” Nuna.
“I just wish there’s pork soup in there.” Jonghyun-hyung.
Jonghyun-hyung seemed like the only one who’s not freaking out. I sighed. I know they won’t stop until I answer them.
“Jonghyun-hyung, there’s pork soup in here. Would you like to help?” I said. We have the whole afternoon to ourselves before Aileen will come for dinner. And I have the whole afternoon, too, to answer their questions.

Inhale.. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Pwede ng beatbox ang puso ko sa lakas ng kabog.
“Ah siyete… Di naman siguro ako delusional ano?” Tumayo ako at pinagmasdan ang sarili sa salamin. Buo pa naman mukha ko. Kinurot ko pa pisngi ko, hinila ang buhok, sinapak ang braso, kinagat ang inner cheek,… ACK!!! MASAKIT!
(A/N: Gomen, violent heroine natin. Masochista ata to. Haha)
“Oh your gosh, Aileen. What are you going to wear?” bulong ko sa sarili ko. Aigoo… di pa naman siguro ak psychotic diba? Adik lang siguro at the moment. WAAAAAAA!!!
Lord, di ko lang alam ha, pero, siguro binuwis ko nga buhay ko nung first life ko. Siguro dun yun banda sa 333 years na pagsakop ng mga Kastila sa Pilipinas, di kaya yung pagbomba sa Pearl Harbor??
UWaaa!!! May two hours na lang ako para mag-ayos! Eh panu ba naman naubos oras ko kanina sa state of shock! Hahaha!
Nag-shower na ako, nagplantsa, nag-ayos sa bag, inayos ang buhok, konting make-up, konti lang talaga, kuha ang purse,. GORA!
Sabi sakin ni chingu na sa may coffee shop lang daw ako sa may Han River mag-aantay. Me susundo lang daw sa akin. Wow. Ganun nga siguro pag-artista ano, di ka dapat basta-bastang makita sa public na may kasama. Nag-taxi na ako papunta dun sa shop, at kahit papano me alam na kong Korean pero konti pa nga lang.
Pagdating ko dun? WOW! AS IN WOW! Makalaglag panga. ETO YUNG COFFEE SHOP/BAR SA MICHIEVOUS KISS KOREAN VERSION! KYAAA!!!! O//////O
And amazing. Super amazing ang Han River sa gabi. Wow… Wow… Lord, THANK YOU SA BIYAYA MO!!!! ><
“Aileen!” Napatigil ako sa pag-e-emote kasi may tumawag.
“Oh? Nee Sa?” surprise naman ako kasi nag-cross landas namin dito. Hmm.. me something fishy ata sa meeting na to. “What are you doing here?” tanong ko. Balik na naman sa rugged fashion style si Nee Sa, denim lang na punit-punit, simpleng sneakers at sleeveless with matching bolero. Iniitcha-icha nya yung susi ng kotse nya sa ere.
“To pick you up.” Sagot nya.
“EH??” Si Nee Sa chauffeur ko ngayon? UWAAAA!!! I WANNA LIVE!!! Nakita nya ata na halos luluwa na yung mata ko sa shock ng ma-realize kong sya ulit nag mag-da-drive. UWAAA!!! Adik yan magpatakbo teh!!!
“Bwahahah!! Don’t worry Aileen, you’re in good hands,” sabi nya with matching evil laugh. Ayun at kinaladkad nya ako sa nakaantay nyang Porsche. May guardian angel naman daw lahat ng tao, at this point, KELANGAN KO SYA!!! Waaaa!!! TT.TT

“Yah! Who is this Nee Sa?” Nuna have been bugging Minhyuk the whole afternoon. And Minhyuk’s ignoring her full time.
“Aish.. jinjja, she’s a photographer.” Minhyuk answered. He started flipping the meat on the grill. And as unbelievable as it is, she’s not clinging to Jonghyun-hyung’s side but to Minhyuk’s instead.
“And? Mwo? You Like her?” Bull’s eye! Nuna smiled sheepishly at Minhyuk’s silence.
“Shin-a!” Jonghyun-hyung called. “What should I do next?” He is at the terrace, after I asked him to set the table. I forgot hyung don’t know household thing much.
It’s almost 7 and they’ll be here any minute now. I asked Nee Sa to pick her up since I have to prepare for dinner. Fortunately, I asked Nuna, I mean Minhyuk’s father to help us with the food. Just a little preparations to do…
“Alright! Done.” I said as I put down the last plate which Jonghyun-hyung have failed to do. I then checked my reflection in the mirror back in my room. I looked okay. I think. I simple tee then a checkered polo, denim, then let my hair down.
“Aish.. it’s quite long now,” I remarked as I saw strands over my shoulder.
“Shin-a!!! They’re here!’ I heard Yonghwa-hyung called. I went to the living room and found the hyung waiting at the door. I laughed at the sight.
“How do I look?” Minhyuk asked nervously.
“Ugly,” Dae-In nuna answered as she took a seat at the sofa. Minhyuk turned to her and squinted his eyes. Nuna just sticked out her tongue and smiled mysteriously.
“They’re climbing up,” Jonghyun-hyung said.
I nodded in answer. Then waited. Impatiently.

“Ahhh.. where exactly are we?” Tanong ko kay Nee Sa habang pinapark nya ang kotse nya sa basement. Naalala ko tuloy ang horror movie na napanood ko nung high school. Waaa! Wala naman sigurong hoodlum echos dito ano? Haha!
“Korea,” pilosopong sagot naman ni Nee Sa sabay tawa. “Let’s go.” Sumunod na ako sa kanya papunta sa elevator habang inaayos ko ang buhol-buhol kong buhok dahil sa nakakatanggal espirito na pagpapatakbo ni Nee Sa.
“Seriously..” Sagot ko naman.
Ngumiti lang si Nee Sa nung creepy nyang ngiti. “You’ll know… Ah, we’re here now.” 2nd floor yung nakalagay. Infairness, maganda yung building. Ang gara-gara ng interior.
Kakatakot na sana si Nee sa sa pintuan ng humarap sya sa akin. “Ah. We’re in CNBlue’s dorm, by the way.”
-.-
O///////////////O
HUWAAAAAAT???! PUTIK, ANAK NG SYOKOY!! “A-ah, w-wait a minute Nee Sa,.” Stuttering na ko at at the moment. Uwaaa! Eto ba yung date na sinasabi ni Jungshin? “Nee S~!”
At bumukas na nga ang door. Una ko talagang nakita si natural beauty.
“AH! Aileen! It’s nice to see you again!” Syet. Si Yonghwa ang bumukas ng pinto, nag-english pa for me. AHHHH!! SHOTEK!!!
