The Haunt

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

"Your friends asked me why I am always with you."

"And then?"

"I told them that I am your boyfriend now."

"What?!"

"What's the matter, Chanyeol? Malalaman at malalaman din naman nila 'yun."

"Sino ang sinabihan mo sa kanila?!"

"That Jongin, Sehun and Yifan---ouch!"

"Baekhyun!"

"Ano ba, Chanyeol! Nasasaktan ako!"

"Why do you have to tell them about us?!"

"Because they were asking me! Bitiwan mo nga ako!"

"I told you not to! Why are you so stubborn?!"

"Ano ba! Anong mali sa ginawa ko? I was just being a proud boyfriend!"

"Proud? Ngayon alam na nilang pumatol ako sa'yo."

Napadilat ako nang marinig at makita ang mga kaganapang 'yun, I was close to screaming pero hindi ko nagawa dahil naging panatag ang loob ko dahil sa isang lullaby song na tumutunog sa kwarto ko.

Tinignan ko ang digital clock at nalamang alas tres na naman ng umaga, the same time as yesterday's. Bumaba ako sa kama at lumapit sa maliit na refrigerator para uminom ng tubig. Bigla namang umilaw at pumasok na naman 'yong babaeng nakaputi.

And now she's with a man with a white cloak on him.

"Mr Park, did you slept?"

Tumango ako at tinignan 'yong lalaking kasama niya. He was wearing eyeglasses and a thing around his neck, ang babaeng nakaputi ay dala dala parin 'yong tray na dala niya kahapon.

"Bakit palagi kitang naaabutang gising? Nakatulog ka ba?"

I shrugged and looked at the window, binuksan 'yun ng babae and a wind brushed off my skin. Nakaramdam na naman ako ng pagkakilabot dahil sa hangin na yumayakap sa balat ko.

"Take your medicine now, Mr Park." Binigay sa akin 'nong babae ang maliit na tablet at pinainom ito sa akin like what she did yesterday.

"Malapit ka nang gumaling, I'm hoping for your fast recovery..." The man who was with her talked to me and patted my right shoulder.

And with that, they left and I fell asleep again.
