narrations for my au (3)

adie ft. jillie

the midterm week has ended as callie made her way to the cafeteria to eat lunch before meeting with her pbl group mates and to go home. she walks towards the table in front of the coffee bean stall as she sat down in front of the big windows and rests her chin by her open palm.

"oy," she looks at her side to see wonwoo walking towards her as he sat down in front, by the time he settled in front of her, he slumps himself on the table as he slightly hits his head by the wooden table. "tangina, may last exam pa pala ako." he whines as callie laughed in front of him, "as in, pag tingin ko sa sched meron pa pala? puta." wonwoo furrows his eyebrows as he stressfully pulled his hair.

"'yan kasi, gala pa. aga aga umuwi halos araw araw tapos nasa glorietta pala madalas kasama sila doyo." she replies as she brings out her ipad to continue an unfinished digital artwork she made for herself. "napagsabihan ka tuloy ni kuya shu, ano feeling?" she adds, teasing the best friend as wonwoo softly flicks her knuckles that was facing him.

wonwoo sighs as he pouts resting his chin by his forearm tapping his finger by the table, "hanggang 5 pa ako, sasabay ka na ba or papasundo ka na agad kay kuya den?" he asks as callie purses her lips to think, and on cue, she felt a presence by her right as the person snakes their hand by her waist, she looks up with a smile.

"third wheel pa nga." callie hears wonwoo mumbling as she giddily smiled wider at jihoon, "uy wonwoo, nandito ka pala." jihoon teases as callie rolls her eyes, "wow kala mo namam hindi sinabi ni claire na pupuntahan ko siya ngayon." wonwoo snickers as jihoon chuckles by his statement.

jihoon sat down beside her with a potato corner in hand putting it in the middle so the three of them can share, "diba may last exam pa kayo?" jihoon starts off as wonwoo nods slowly earning another pout, "tapos yung best friend mo ayaw ako kausapin." he sulks as jihoon turns his head at callie with a confusion.

"hindi pa rin sila nakakapag-usap especially when wonwoo confessed last week." callie whispers at jihoon as he nods in return understanding the situation, "ang arte kasi, siya na nga sinusuyo eh, ganun ba talaga mga gemini?" wonwoo speaks in front of them as they both turned their heads with a confused face.

"aba tangina, sinama pa zodiac sign" jihoon laughs, "pre, arte lang 'yon seryoso and midterns," jihoon gets another fry as he eats it, "he's scary when he's serious." wonwoo slumps back as callie rests her head by jihoon's collarbone, "i mean, soonyoung can be funny at times pero kasi if he's passionate of what he does and wanted to pass that, 'di mo talaga makakausap 'yon. minsan nga kahit seryoso siya hinahaluan pa ng biro pero awkward kasi iba talaga." jihoon adds as callie nods in return as she observes wonwoo.

the three of them ate in silence as callie looks at the food stall beside the potato corner being called and was told that her order was ready, jihoon notices as he stands up, "saan ka?" she asks looking up, "order mo yun diba?" he asks as he reached out for the corner of her lips wiping the crumbs from the french fry she was eating, "oo?" she says unsure making jihoon chuckle, "diyan ka na lang, ako na kukuha." jihoon says as she pats callie's head.

"tangina mhm," wonwoo suddenly says with so much sarcasm, "sarap naman. sarap ng pakiramdam maging single, damang dama ko." wonwoo says with so much determination which made callie laugh on his seat, "gago? di pa naman kami." she says wiping her mouth with the clean tissue from the paper bag.

"hindi pa kayo nun?" he says while imitating what jihoon did to callie a few seconds ago, "like claire? hindi pa kayo, sa lagay na 'yon? ser use ka ba?" he asks in disbelief as callie shakes her head.

"grabe? sagot agad?" she asks now wiping the table with the used tissue. wonwoo purses his lips, "ah so kailan mo balak sagutin?" he asks as he rests his fingertips by his chin and his elbows above the table, "after four years din ba?" he asks raising his eyebrows.

"nope— i mean— he was definitely worth the wait and other people would answer him right away but—" she stops as she sees jihoon walking towards them, she smiles, "i want to take things slow with him but i will answer him naman soon kasi pag pinatagal ko pa," finally she turns back to wonwoo, "i might regret it 'diba?" she finally adds as jihoon puts down the mini box of pizza.

"and some papapancit," jihoon says she looks up, he smiles down at her, "sisig. bakit kasi pizza lang? tapos lunch." jihoon begins to start nagging as wonwoo watches his best friend and the said partner talk to each other as if they have their own worlds. wonwoo smiles unknowingly at how happy he is for his best friend who's been waiting for this for years.

"mukha kang tanga diyan? bakit ka nakangiti?" callie cuts off wonwoo's thoughts as he shakes his head, "wala wala, ano lang una na ako ha? exam pa." he stands up patting callie's head. "jihoon." wonwoo calls as they made eye contact not saying anything but their expressions soften which made callie look at them confusedly.

"ingat kayo," wonwoo lastly says as jihoon nods his way leaving them both at the cafeteria.

"ano yun?" she asks as she takes a bite of her pizza, jihoon sat down beside her and continues eating from his potato corner, "wala lang. gusto mo pa?" he changes the subject so easily as he offers his fries. callie clicks his tongue as she went back to her pancit.

"ano oras ka today?" she asks looking back at jihoon who's staring at her with a tender smile, "ji, uy." she nudged his side as he finally comes back from his train of thoughts, "hanggang ano oras ka today?" she repeats which made jihoon chuckle in fondness.

"hanggang sa matapos ka, may gagawin ka pa ba?" he asks as callie nods slowly chewing on her food, "pbl lang naman." she says as jihoon nods.

"kamusta exams?" jihoon asks again as she hums in response playing with her food, "fail or not you did great, callie. you did your best— mukha kang kawawang bata diyan na nakapout." he teases as he nudged her back by her side.

"thank you, ji." she mutters looking down as jihoon looks at her again, "for?" he asks softly as he unconsciously puts his hand up and tucked callie's hair behind her ear, "for sticking up with me and for, ano ayun— nasabi ko na diba, for staying kahit sobrang kulit ko or madaldal, alam mo na." she rambles as jihoon puts his arms around her waist pulling her closer.

"well, it's at least i can do for you, plus i am courting you, diba." he says, "eat up na, hatid kita sa room niyo then wait kita later?" he asks unsure as callie nods in return.

"thank you too, callie." he adds as callie looks up at jihoon with a soft smile snuggling closer to him as they eat their lunch.
