jiwon and i was left on our table while we were eating our early dinner. our both parents was interacting with other elites we both dont know. . and oh yes, father came right after we arrived here. i was stealing glances at jiwon because she was having a hard time slicing her steak. there were no other foods here except for that.

when she noticed that i was watching her, she rolled her eyes to me and ate as if she was doing it right na parang hindi nahihirapan. the steak she got wasnt as smooth as i have. balak ko nga sanang ipagpalit yung sakin sakanya but i knew she wouldn't like it. she wasnt talking to me in a nice way so the hell she would let her steak being swap into mines.

"i can help yoㅡ"

"i dont need your help. im not a kid anymore and stop stealing glances at me!" she rolled her eyes and she continued to eat though, she was really having a hard time slicing the food.

i pursed my lips and continued to eat. i really wanted to help her. ako yung hindi makakain nang maayos dahil sakanya e. i was conscious that her dress would get ruin if she continued slicing it the wrong way. i heard her groaned again so i looked at her, she was now pouting still trying so hard to sliced it. nahihiwa naman sya, mahirap lang talaga.

"do you want me to call a waiㅡ"

"i told you to stop and i dont need your help nor anyone why cant you understand?!" then she harshly put down her hands on the table making the water from her glass along with the sauce of the steak jumped as it both landed on her dress. "oh my god my dress!"

i immediately pulled the tissue in the middle of our table and i hurriedly grabbed some amount of it and tried to wipe the stain on her dress but she pushed my hands away as she threw the tissue i was holding. right now, i badly wanted to shout at her but i choose to understand her situation and the reason behind why she keep pushing me away and why she keep cancelling me and being rude towards me. i watched her wipping her own dress pero kumalat lang yung stain sa dress nya.

she was that clumsy. . and she was that innocent. as long as i wanted to guide her being herself, but if she keeps pushing me away, hindi ko magagawa. i was his older brother, and it was my responsibility to take good care of her and guide her all throughout.

"see what you did?! kung sana hinayaan mo nalang ako this wouldnt be this way!" she hissed as she grabbed another set of tissue and wipe her dress.

i swallowed hard pushing the lump on my throat. "let me do it for you. continue eating." i held her hands to take the tissue from her para ako na magpunas nang damit nya, but she keeps pushing me away. i heave a sighed. "just this time jiwon please." my voice was still sedative, just like the ones i was doing whenever i was talking to her.

she may grew up and was now a college student, but for me, she was still my baby i wanna take good care of for the rest of my life.
