Whew !! At lasttttt nandito na tayo *stretches* nakakapagod din mag drive hehe
Sana kasi pinag drive mo nalang ako
Sagot ni Lucas
Ano ka ba bro syempre bisita namin kayo kaya thank you nalang and besides hindi mo din naman alam yung daan and wala kang driving license dito sa japan
Ay oo nga pala noh? Hahaha nakalimutan ko na yung about dun
Yeah.. ahahaha kaya hindi ko din talaga mabigay sayo yung pag ddrive
Hahaha sorry alok pala ako ng alok ng bagay na di ko maibibigay
Wow ! Ano yan Lucas? Hugot?
Sagot ni Althea
Hahaha hindi noh
Well anyway welcome to Hot Spring Park ! also known as the Hell Valley
Sabi ni Jayden
Hell ??? Hell Valley??? Ang creepy naman ng pangalan
Sabi ni Althea
Hehe don't worry Althea it's just a name and the reason it's called hell valley is because of the hot steams, dito din kasi nang gagaling ang tubig sa ibang hot springs dito sa Noboribetsu
Sagot ni Jayden
.........
Habang nag didiscuss sila about sa lugar ay napansin ni Lucas na parang iba ang aura ngayon si Thea, na para bang ang layo niya kahit na kasama naman nila siya
Uhm.. hi.. *soft whispers*

Hey Thea ! Tara
Pasigaw na sabi ni Jayden
Oops ! JD's calling, we should go
Behind you
Sagot ni Lucas at nagpunta na sila patungo kila Jayden, Jade at Althea at pumasok na sa park para mag strolling
Syempre bago tayo mag relax relax mag papagod muna tayo hehe but for sure mag eenjoy naman kayo eh and well actually it's just my second time here kaya wala din akong masyadong alam sa place but let the place explain itself to you guys okay?
No problem Jayden
Sagot ni Althea. At nag simula na nga silang mag strolling sa park
Ang ganda ditoooo grabe *amazed* ang linaw ng tubig at kitang kita mo talaga yung steam ng tubig ! Sobrang enchanting dito noh love? *looks at Jade*
.... *spaced out*
Uhm.. Jade? Why are you spacing out?
Huh? *startled* Ano yun love?
Sabi ko ang ganda dito and ang enchanting...
Ahh oo love sobrang ganda
Hm.. okay.. *walks quietly*
Uhm.. love? *worried*
Teka sandali ! Bakit parang iba na ata tawagan niyo ngayon?? Hindi na first name basis? Love na ganun???
Biglang sulpot ni Lucas
Ow.. hindi pa pala nasabi sayo hehe
Sagot ni Jade
Ano ba yun? Any good news? *looks excited* Althea?
*ignoring*....
Thea?...
*annoyed* I'm not Thea ! Lucas ! *walks fast*
*shocked* huh? Teka anung ginawa ko? *runs after Althea*
*shocked* wait love ! *runs after Althea and Lucas*
.......
Anung meron? *confused*
Sabi ni Jayden
Hindi ko nga din alam eh.. *gloomy*
Sagot ni Thea
Mm.. I knew it...
Alin?
Nakakaapekto na kayo ni Jade sa grupo... you both should talk ano ba kayo? Naaapektuhan na pati girlfriend ni Jade
Wala naman akong ginagawa, bakit parang ako yung sinisisi mo??
Wait.. easy lang, I don't want you to misunderstood me okay? Ang sinasabi ko lang na yung thing sainyo ni Jade nakakaapekto na sa trip natin, eh hindi ba't we went on this trip to relax and enjoy? Mm.. pano nalang kung nandito si Mika? What if? Sige nga?
That's the point JD! Wala si Mika dito that's why I'm a mess.. *gloom*
What do you mean? *confused*
If Mika was here.. none of these would even happen.. pero nandito na to..
Ano bang sinasabi mo?
Ako ! Sarili ko yung problema ko ! That night.. I know that I drank a lot but I still remembered what happened that night with the dice game
*eyes widen* naaalala mo?!! *surprised*
Oo.. nung una yung kiss lang.. yung lintik na spin the bottle na yun at yung dice na yun ! But then.. slowly naaalala ko lahat.. para akong nag ka amnesia tapos unti unting bumabalik ang memorya, ganun yung nangyayari sakin ! And it's making me confused JD.. I'm so messed up.. ayokong madamay si Althea kahit na si Lucas.. for sure they'll hate me ! Because I'm actually hating myself now ! *tears started to fill*
Thea listen, lasing na lasing si Jade nun for sure hindi niya na maaalala yun
Yun na nga eh ! She was drunk and I was drunk but not that drunk pero I took advantage.. I felt bad JD.. really felt bad.. I don't want Jade to hate me.. hindi ko kakayanin...
Thea the dare started it.. halos passed out na din si Lucas that time and I didn't care anymore sa mga nangyayari kasi hilong hilo na din ako but.. the last thing I remember before I fell asleep was that.. you both were really passionate about that kiss.. the thing is.. when she pulled back from you.. you grabbed her and kissed her again with more aggressiveness.. although I never thought that it was wrong cause we were playing a game... but I guess you both went further didn't you?
I... I don't know.. I think.. we did...
Damn... I.. I never thought you could actually do that to Mika, Thea... *sad*
Hindi ako sure JD.. kasi ang naaalala ko lang is when I started kissing her on her neck.. and tried to work it all the way.. but like I said hindi ako sure..
But what do you feel?
Awkward.. I feel awkward kaya parang nahihirapan akong humarap kay Jade lalo na kay Althea..
Mahal mo ba si Jade? Thea?
Huh?! *anxious* uh.. I..
So you're starting to grow feelings for her am I right?
Hindi ko na alam JD... *tears starts to drip* mahal ko si Mika pero bakit ganito yung nararamdaman ko kay Jade? What is it about her?! That's making me feel like a mess, I'm so messed up.. ayokong mawala si Jade, ayoko din mawala si Mika ! Fuck it JD I'm the most horrible and most selfish person it the world !! *sobs* I don't deserve to be happy !!
Thea.. come here *hugs Thea* stop it babe, you deserve to be happy kaso nga lang you need to be more realistic.. Mika loves you so much and you know that very well while Jade on the other hand loves you too but maybe it's just a love for a friend.. unless you can convince Jade to love you more than that.. and that comes with hurting Althea.. your choice.. but whatever it is okay? Nandito lang ako waiting for my chance to tell you I told you so !! Mahal kita Thea and all I want is for you to be happy
*smiles while sobbing* sana sayo nalang ako nainlove eh.. *jokes*
Haha anung gusto mo? Kilayan kita? *jokes* hahahah
Hahahaha baliw ka talaga ! Pero sana kasing lakas mo din ako JD
Nako Thea believe me you are more stronger than I am.. ikaw nga kayang kaya mong ipaglaban ang pagkatao mo samantalang ako eto hanggang ganito nalang kasi duwag ako kaya hindi ko masabi sa parents ko that I'm gay...
Jayden?... *shocked*
Biglang sabi ni Lucas
Lucas?! *shocked*
Y... you're gay? *curious*
U..uhhm... *embarassed*
Ano naman ngayon kung gay siya? Lalayuan mo na siya???
Sabi ni Thea
Huh? No, it's not that.. nagulat lang ako kasi all along.. pinagseselosan ko siya dahil akala ko there's something going on between you...
Bakit mo naman siya pag seselosan?
Uhm.. well obvious naman diba? I like you Thea.. pero sa ngayon syempre kaibigan lang anyway bro don't worry I don't do the judging game I like you as you are.. I was just hoping you'd be honest with me somehow and besides.. hehehe kaya pala pakiramdam ko sobra mo kong alagaan kapag tayong dalawa lang hehe thank you Jayden anyway hinihintay na tayo nung dalawa dun, so shall we?
"What the hell was that?! He likes me as I am??? Oh my god !! Is this really for real?? Like seriously?!!! *blushes* *completely forgot about Lucas's confession to Thea*"
At naglakad ng muli sila papunta sa kinaroroonan nila Jade at Althea
Sorry na love..
Sabi ni Jade
Nakakainis naman kasi Jade ! Kasama nga kita pero yung utak mo lumilipad ! It doesn't feel like you're here with me ! And dumadalas yung pag sspace out mo ! *yells*
I'm sorry may iniisip lang talaga ako... *sad*
Kung may iniisip ka tell me ! Hindi yung ganito ! *pissed*
I'm really sorry Althea.. I just couldn't come up with on how am I going to deal with this...
Can you be honest with me? Is it Thea? Siya ba yung iniisip mo? Kaya ka na sspace out?
Love naman..
Just answer it..
Tapos ano?? *worried*
Just be honest.. Jade.. "please say no..."
Yes...
*surprised* *hurt* "I was right..." bakit? Ano bang iniisip mo?... *tears starts to fill*
Love wag kang magisip ng sobra okay? Alam mo kasi.. si Thea yung talagang naging kasama ko dito sa Japan kaya we grew closer and closer each day.. naramdaman ko yung pagiging genuine niya bilang tao, pagiging sincere and higit sa lahat.. yung effort niya sakin just to make me forget what caused me pain.. and I'm really thankful for her because of that.. and what bothers me now is yung paglalagay niya ng distance between us.. yung space na parang akala mo naman hindi kami mag kaibigan.. I mean this never happened before with Mika.. kaya I'm so confused...
You really care for her do you?
Oo syempre... alam mo bang para ko nga siyang naging nanay dito?
And you love her right?
Love? Yes I do but as a friend
As a friend? Talaga ba?
Oo naman love ! Ano ka ba ! May girlfriend na yung tao
Okay.. but what if? Thea didn't have Mika? Would you love her?
Althea those questions are irrelevant.. kasi una sa lahat if there's no Mika, Thea should probably be straight.. get it?
And paano mo naman nasabi yan?
Well cause she told me their story.. actually it kind of resembles our story.. from the day I realized that I like you until I fell in love with you and then suddenly I change.. huge changes
"But still.. she would have gotten you if she didn't have Mika..." *sighs*... I know I messed up big time Jade.. but I am here now, and I'm willing to fix whatever I broke.. for making you believe into something and then drop you just like that when I wasn't sure with myself.. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you nung mga panahong hindi din ako sigurado sa sarili ko... kaya sige tatanggapin ko lahat Jade and will promise you that from now on I will never let you go and if in the future I'd go crazy and let you go.. please.. come back to me..
Aww.. *touched* alam mo lablab? Wala ka naman talagang dapat na ayusin eh.. dahil wala ka namang nasira.. ikaw pa rin naman ang sinisigaw ng puso ko eh, ikaw parin naman ang mahal nito.. and yes lablab I will always come back to you no matter what.. but please do me favor?
Ano yun?
Can you do the same for me? Kung ako naman yung mabaliw ?
Yes ! Cross my heart hope to die ! I will fight for your love even if you end up hating me
That'll never happen my love
And they both shared a very bold and very passionate kiss, later on Lucas, Thea and Jayden came
*whistles woot weew* get a room !!! Hahahaha *teases*
Pangaasar ni Lucas ng makita nilang nag hahalikan ang dalawa
........
Jade and Althea pulled back from each other trying to catch their breaths
*embarassed*.... *blushes*
Assuuuss *teasing*
*glares at Lucas*....
*cold shivers* ahehehe hindi ka naman na mabiro Althea.. *scared*
Kaya magtigil ka dyan ! *glaring*
Okay.. I'll behave hehe *scared*
Good..
Moments later they all bursted out laughing while Lucas was left confused and speechless
Hahahaha !!! Wala ka pala Lucas eh ! Isang tingin lang pala katapat mo eh
Pang aasar na sinabi ni Jayden. At biglang lumapit si Lucas kay Jayden sabay inakbayan ito
*shocked* *heart racing* "oh no ! My heart is racing.. baka mahalata niya !! *worried*"
Ano ulit yung sabi mo Jayden?
Sabi ni Lucas habang inilapit ang mukha niya sa mukha ni Jayden na sobrang naman ikinakaba ni Jayden at biglang ikinapula ng mukha niya
*anxious* uh.. wala ! *shove Lucas off*
*smirks* "hahaha ang kulit namula talaga siya sa ginawa ko" shall we go then?
Nag strolling pa sila ng nag strolling hanggang sa maka abot sila sa cabin na tutuluyan nila
Wooaaahhhh... cool !! Ang ganda parang sobrang peaceful naman dito.. very secluded ng area with own hot spring pa ah *impressed*
Sabi ni Lucas
Oo nga eh parang may sarili pool hehehe
Sagot ni Jade
Let's check in don't worry guys mag private onsen naman sa loob
Sabi ni Jayden
Onsen?
Sabi ni Althea
Hot spring yun...
Sagot ni Thea
Oh.. cool .. *awkward*
Sagot ni Althea. At pumasok na sila para mag check in
3Ttsu no heya wa shite kudasai
Sabi ni Jayden
Anung ibig sabihin nun?
Sabi ni Lucas
Kumukuha ako ng tatlong kwarto
Tatlo? Bakit tatlo?? Eh diba magkakasama yung girls? Tapos tayo?
Well then baka mag solo ka muna sa kwarto mo ngayon bro hehe
Luh..
Kahit ako nalang mag solo sa kwarto
Sabi ni Thea
Jade sighs which Althea picked up
"*sighs* ano bang dapat na ginagawa ko sa pagkakataong ganito? Tutulungan ko ba silang magka ayos? Or is it better this way? kaso mas maganda din kung magkakasundo kaming lahat ngayon.." uhm.. Thea bakit hihiwalay ka pa ng kwarto??
Ikinagulat ni Jade ang biglang sinabi ni Althea
"Althea??? After all I said to you?? Anung ginagawa mo?? Magiging awkward lang samin ni Thea sa kwarto"
Sabi ni Jade sa isip niya
You should stay with us ni Jade the more the merrier
Uh.. actually mas okay sana kung solo ako sa room
Sabi ni Thea
Aww.. please?
Sabi ni Althea
"Ano bang ginagawa mo Althea? *sighs* hindi ko alam kung kaya kong makasama si Jade sa iisang kwarto...*frustrated*"
Sabi ni Thea sa isip niya
So? Okay na sa room ka na namin??
Lablab wag mo ng pilitin si Thea.. you shouldn't force a person to do things they don't like..
*frowned* *sighs* okay okay.. I get it Jade.. *faces the front desk* Īe, 2tsu no heya o 2tsu dake go yōi kudasai
Daijōbu, mibun shōmei-sho o watashite kudasai
Ako na Thea, here's my ID *hands over card*
Watashi no shita no heya o jūden shite kudasai
Hai.
Okay na guys let's go
At nagpunta na sila sa mga kwarto nila
"Girl's room"
Pumasok sila Jade, Althea and Thea sa kwarto at nagsimulang mag baba at mag ayos ng dala dala nilang gamit
"Ang awkward nakakainis"
Sabi ni Jade sa isip niya
Uhm.. lablab pupunta lang muna ako kay Lucas ah
Anung gagawin mo dun??
Just stay here first I just need to talk to Lucas
Sa hindi malamang dahilan bigla nalang naisipan ni Althea na pumunta sa boy's room at iniwan na magkasama ang dalawa. A few awkward moments have passed
Uhm.. *nervous*
Sabi ni Thea
Thea don't... *cold*
*confused* w..what?
I get it okay? You're doing this for service, you can stop now...
You really think I'm doing this for service?!! I left my work for this ! I even left Mika ! Made sense?
You left her?
N..no i...it's not like that we're still together but get it.. she's not here
Ahh kaya ka nagkakaganyan?? Kaya ka lumalayo?? What gives??
Sige nga Jade tell me ! Bakit ayaw mong layuan kita?
Kasi kaibigan kita
Is that really it?? Yun lang talaga? Or you have deeper meaning to it?
What do you mean Thea?
*smirks* if I was a really bad person, I would have kissed you already.. *sighs* Jade.. I'm sorry okay? I was so messed up after that game.. actually even before that game.. I've been messed up since I've learned that you're in love with a girl.. god knows how hard I was trying to keep my self from loving you more than just a friend.. this is not a confession of love though but I want to be honest with you just to prove you that my friendship with you is genuine and real.. I didn't tell you this to snatch you from Althea.. I know how much you love her and I respect that.. sorry for treating you like a trash lately.. I.. I didn't mean it.. *exhales* but I couldn't handle this space between us anymore.. it.. it's kind of squeezing me inside.. kaya.. I'm really sorry Jade.. that will never happen again..
*shocked* I... Thea.. *heart throbbing* "ano yun? Bigla akong kinabahan... anung isasagot ko?" Uhm..
I know you're shocked.. you don't have to forgive me or whatever.. you can distance yourself from me now if that helps...
No..
*eyes widen*
I'm sorry too Thea.. I didn't see through you kaya nag ka misunderstanding tayo.. you're my friend and you're important to me okay? Friends do fight sometimes right?
*tears starts to fill* y.. yeah thank you Jade
Ikaw talaga ! Halika nga dito
And they both hug each other tightly
You know this really helps a lot
Sabi ni Thea
Yeah.. I feel like we're stronger than ever hehe
Yup ! I love you Jade.. *no malice*
*eyes widen* I love you too... Thea...
"Hindi ko dapat binibigyan ng malisya para hindi kami nagkakamisunderstood"
And they pulled away from each other
This is a good news, we should tell this to Althea
Yeah ! I think she's worried about us
Sagot ni Thea
