Yours To Claim

Chapter 8

Pag upo ko sa tabi ni Jisoo Unnie agad nila akong tinignan ng masama.

"I will tell you guys later, I promise." sabi ko agad sa kanila. Alam kong nagaalala sila since wala silang alam sa nangyayari and I know that it is unfair, after all tinuturing ko silang mga kapatid ko pero hindi ako nagsasabi sa kanila.Nasanay lang talaga akong kung ano man ang meron samin ni Lisa samin lang.

"Aww, sayang naman pumiyok sya." sabi ni Rosé.

"Yep,cute pa naman sya diba Jennie." sabi naman ni Irene sakin sabay tapik pa sa braso ko.

"Jennie, baka naman matunaw yan, di na nawala tingin mo ah." sabi naman ni Jisoo Unnie sakin,

"She look bored." sabi ko.

"Sino? Si Lalisa?" singit ni Seulgi.

"Yep." I said, I get my phone and send a message to Glaiza to come to me.

"Jennie."

I hear a familiar voice, and when I look up it is Kai. He look so sad and I suddenly felt guilty.

"Hi Kai. Musta?"sabi ko. Pinipilit kong huminahon kahit na nilalamon ako ng guilt for using him.

Kai sigh. "Can we talk?"

"Lady Jennie." tawag sakin ni Glaiza,

I look at Glaiza. "Hold on Glai." then I look at Kai. "I can't right now, maybe over dinner later?" sabi ko sa kanya.

He nod, what catch my attention is when he glance at Glaiza and it actually linger for a while. I look at Glaiza, she really is beautiful, she is a natural blond, and her eyes is a clear blue. Yun nga lang nahawa sya sa boss nya na sobrang seryoso pag dating sa trabaho. I remember the first time that I saw her kinabahan ako kasi ang ganda tapos lagi pa syang kasama ni Lisa. Kung hindi ko lang alam na straight tong si Glaiza pinagselosan ko na to eh.

"Glaiza, I will not stay in Lisa's place. I will ask our chef to cook something for her, so can you please make sure that she will eat dinner?" I ask her then she nod. "Pasabi din sa kanya na dapat 10 PM KST tulog na sya. Bago ka umalis sa apartment nya, patimplahan na lang sya ng chocolate drinks para makatulog sya. For tomorrow please buy something for her to eat." Sunod sunod na utos ko sa kanya.

I felt my members and Red Velvet members looking at me, as if wondering who am I, pero hindi ko sila pinansin. Sanay na si Glaiza na inuutusan ko sya about kay Lisa dahil kung hindi ko aalagaan si Lisa no one will, because Lisa will not let anyone and she will not take care of herself.

"As usual, send me her schedule tomorrow." Yun lang at umalis na si Glaiza.

"What was that?" natanong na lang nila, pero I just smile at them.

Naghahanda na ako paalis, sakto naman na lumapit sakin si Lisa.

"Hey." She greet me.

"Hey." I smile at her sweetly, but I saw Kai looking at me,my smile falter. "Sorry Lili, I can go with you today I need to go somewhere I'll go now." I said, I kiss her on her cheek and go.

Kai texted me earlier to meet at the MNBN restaurant so we could talk. Nang makarating ako nandun na sya at naghihintay, tumayo sya ng makita ako but instead of going to where he is I signal him to follow me. There is private rooms here that is only available to Lisa and my family. The Manager guide us inside the room, pumasok ako at umupo sa upuan dun, sumunod si Kai at umupo sya sa upuan na nasa harap ko.

I look at the manager. "I'll get the usual." sabi ko, reffering to my usual order. I look at Kai. "What are you going to get?"

"Nakaorder na ako kanina." he said. "Padala na lang dito."

After naming umorder umalis na ang Manager at naging awkward bigla ang atmosphere sa kwarto.

"Ehem." Kai clear his throat. He look at me seriously, but the hurt is very visible in his eyes. "Jennie, bakit? May nagawa ba akong mali?"

I sigh. "As cliché as it is, it is not you. Ako yung problema Kai."

"Is it because of that Lalisa?" sabi nya, maririnig mo yung inis sa boses nya ng binangit nya yung pangalan ni Lisa.

I glare at him. "Lisa has nothing to do with this. This is all my decision Kai. Hindi nga nya alam na nagdate tayo at kung hindi dahil sa dispatch she probably will never know." sabi ko sa kanya. "but I have to admit, she is the reason for my decision."

He look dejected. "Bakit tayo umabot sa ganito Jennie?"

"Masasaktan ka pag pinaliwanag ko sayo." I warned him.

"I know." sabi nya.

"Two years, two years na akong iniiwasan ni Lisa. Madalang ko na syang makausap, hindi sya nagpapakita, but I have to say that this is also something to do with how busy her schedule is, pinagsasabay sabay nya kasi ang pagaaral, pagiging CEO at pagiging producer." I look at him and smile a litte. "Then I met you and your totally my type Kai. Handsome, sexy and kind, you are my ideal. I am really attracted to you."

"Then what went wrong?" he asked.

"I've seen her. Alam mo yung parang bigla akong nagising, parang biglang lahat ng hinahanap ko bigla kong nahanap." I hold his hand. "Walang mali sayo Kai, walang problema sayo. It's just feels like you are my dream but she's my reality. Ikaw yung saktong sakto sa hinahanap ko pero sya yung kumukumpleto sakin Kai. I'm really sorry." I sincerly told him.

"Your in love with her?" he asked, he have tears in his eyes.

"Hindi ko masasagot yan Kai. Isn't it only fair na sya ang unang makakarinig ng sagot sa tanong na yan?" I gently smile at him. "But I really want to apologize Kai because I used you. Ginamit kita at ang news about satin para bumalik sya sa Korea."

When I say that napayuko sya. I know I hurt him pero kung papipiliin ako kung sino ang masasaktan si Lisa o sya, pipiliin ko sya. Dumating yung food namin at tahimik kaming kumain.

"Jennie. Is this really okay with you? She's a she. Masisira ang career mo." he said, nakikita ko na totoong nagaalala sya sakin.

I chuckle. "I'm ready, but of course kailangan ko pa rin kausapin sila Jisoo Unnie at Rosé."

He then smile then as if remembering something he suddenly smirk. "Can you give me the number of that secretary?"

We both burst into laughter because of what he said.
