Arken POV
"YEODONGSAEEEENG! YEODONGSAAAAEEEENG!" Ilang beses na nag tap si Kuya sa asul na matt kaya pinakawalan ko siya.
"Damn! I wouldn't be surprised anymore if one day I'll get crippled or be disabled dahil diyan sa kabrutalan mo. Tsaka ang sakit ng balikat ko, Yeodongsaeng! May galit ka ba sa akin, ha? Wala kang awa!" Reklamo nito. Hindi ako nagsalita at tumayo nalang para kunin ang tumbler ko kay Butler Jang na agad naman nitong inabot sa akin.
Pawis na pawis ako ngayon dahil kanina pa kami nag-isparring ni Kuya ng Judo at ilang beses ko rin itong natalo.
"Hoy!" Binangga niya ang balikat ko ng bumalik ako sa center. "Kanina ka pa tahimik, ah?" Kunot noong tanong nito. "Problem?" Umiling ako.
"Come on, Sis! Are we playing a guessing game here? Talk to me. I'm your handsome and manly brother, you know? You can tell me anything." Inakbayan niya ako kaya napatungo ako. "Come on! Open-minded ako, kape tayo? Hahahahaha!" Hindi pa rin ako umimik kaya hinawakan niya ang magkabilang balikat ko at niyugyog ito ng ilang beses.
"Hey! Taaaaaalkkk tooooo meeee..." Pangungulit ulit nito. "You know that I won't stop annoying you until you'll finally talk to me, right?" Anito. I sighed.
"I already told him the truth about me, Oppa."
Silence.
Wala itong naging sagot kaya nilingon ko siya pero kumunot ang noo ko nang makitang nakangiti ito ngayon habang nakatingin sa akin.
'Wirdo talaga!'
"Why are you smiling like the Grinch? Do I look like I am freaking happy?" Yamot kong tanong.
"Wow! I mean, I'm just... amazed. You are really opening up now, Yeodongsaeng! Iba talaga ang gayuma sa'yo ng bakla mong boyfriend, noh?" Ngisi nito kaya binatukan ko siya.
"Yaaaah!" Sigaw nito. "I am your Oppa! I'm still older than you!"
Hindi ako umimik at humiga nalang sa matt kaya tumabi ito sa akin at humiga rin na kagaya ko.
Another silence came between us.
'Oh! The calm there is in silence...'
It's really comforting.
"Soo... What's the matter then? Did it went well?" Mahinahong tanong nito habang pareho kaming nakatitig sa kawalan. Napapansin siguro nitong hindi ko sinasakyan ang mga biro niya kanina pa.
"I don't know what to do anymore." I confessed. "I-I don't know if I can still continue being w-with him. I am so scared." Bulong ko.
"May kinakatakutan ka pa pala aside sa daga." Nagbiro na naman ito. "But kidding aside, congrats! And thank you for admitting that to yourself, Yeodongsaeng. You're still a normal human being afterall. Nothing's wrong with that." Marahang sagot nito. I sighed and covered my eyes using my arm.
"Ugh! Damn this feeling!" I softly muttered to myself.
"Look, Yeodongsaeng... I am not invalidating your feelings.."
"Ssshh... Of course, Oppa. I know that." Putol ko dahil kilala ko siya. Mukha lang itong gagong kausap pero may sense naman ang lahat ng sinasabi niya.
"Good. I'm just reminding you that fear is a normal reaction of a human person. Malamang, hindi ka naman robot. What is our normal reaction when we get scared of something? It's either we fight or fly. Basic." Anito.
