THIRD PERSON

"So I hope na may nasulat kayo para sa first article natin, Chuu. How was it?" Tanong ni Claire sa Feature Writer and inassign niya para sa Acquaintance Party article.

Chuu smiled at her saka ibinigay ang isang bond paper kay Claire. The girl opened her mouth in shock bago binasa ang isang sentences sa written article ni Chuu.

"Geez, you're really good at this. Nga pala, you can give this to Jake or Jinsoul. They'll check on the grammars and errors" Chuu then nodded bago inabot ang papel niya kay Jake.

"Hyunjin, be prepared. The sportsfest is already coming" Napatigil sa pagsasalita si Claire nang magtaas ng kamay si Kyle. Napalunok na lamang ang dalaga

"Yes?" Tanong nito.

"Can I help Hyunjin with his sports article? Besides its one week and wala pa naman akong masyadong gawain so I can help him with the articles" Hyunjin smiled at the other guy saka nakipag-apir.

"Thank you man"  Nakangiting sambit niya kay Kyle.

"Sure. You two can work together" Claire smilingly said at the two of them.

"Jaehyuk and Yeji, make sure to be ready too. We need a lot of pictures for the newspaper so make sure na maraming options na pwedeng pagpilian" Yeji smiled while Jaehyuk saluted at the girl. Next week will surely be another hectic week for them.

"So I guess, tapos na ata tayong mag-settle. I hope we can get through it. Goodluck guys! The meeting is now over" Claire said bago nagsitayuan ang members ng Journalism Club.

"Claire, wait" Sunghoon immediately looked up the two na parehas na nakatayo sa front door ng Journalism Room.

Kyle called Claire and he wasn't sure what are they exactly talking about. He could feel something in his heart. His fist started to crumpled and clutching his hand harshly preventing himself to be annoyed.

Malakas niyang tinulak ang upuan niya but the two was still talking seriously. His breath hitched and sarcastically liked his bottom lips in annoyance.

He pretended to placed the books harshly on the table dahilan para this time ay mapatingin ang dalawa sa kanya. After another minute, nakita niyang nagsalita ulit si Kyle at nabalik muli sila sa pag-uusap. It really annoys him.

Nang wala ng ibang nagawa si Sunghoon ay inis na inis niyang isinukbit ang bag niya sa balikat bago naglakad papalapit sa kanila. He wasn't even hesitating nang lumakad ito sa gitna nitong dalawa.

"Hey!" Claire shouted at him pero nagpatuloy lang ito sa paglalakad hanggang sa malakas siya ng campus.

Tumigil siya sa paglalakad nang makalabas siya ng gate nang maisip niya muli si Claire. It was already dark and hindi dapat siya umuwi mag-isa. Napapikit na lamang siya and literally face palmed. He really couldn't resist that girl kahit pa naiinis siya.

But he wasn't annoyed at her tho, mas naiinis siya kay Kyle. He doesn't want that jerk come close at her after all trouble that he had caused her for the past months. Ni hindi niya nga alam kung gaano nag-suffer at nalungkot si Claire nang maghiwalay sila and yet he was there calling her na parang walang nangyari.

Napasandal na lang siya sa pader na katabi ng front gate and decided to wait for her para makasabay siyang makauwi dito. He stepped on a stone saka marahas iyong sinipa palayo.

"Kawawa naman yung bato sayo" Napaangat ang tingin niya and looked into the right side to see that it was the love of his life laughing at him.

"Claire" Mahinang sambit nito sa pangalan ni Claire as his chest started with it again. Pangalan pa lang ng babaeng 'to, halos buong pagkatao niya ay nabubuhay na.

"Aren't you going home? It's dark already" Puna ni Claire sa kanya.

"I don't want to go home" nakayukong sambit niya with his gentle voice. He just couldn't help but to make his voice gentle and lower kapag nakikita niya si Claire. He wanted to be gentle with her.

"Bakit naman? Hinihintay ka na nila Heeseung" Puna niya ulit sa binata.

"Let's go home together"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Both of them was walking silently. Wala ni isa sa kanila ang nagtatangkang magsalita. Claire was still awkward around him dahil sa nangyare last night. She doesn't even know kung naaalala niya pa ang bagay na iyon. But she doubt na naaalala niya parin ito dahil sa dami ng nangyare sa kanya ngayong araw.

"I'm sorry" Napatingin ang dalaga nang marinig niya ang boses ni Sunghoon.

"Saan?" She asked curiously.

"Sorry if I acted arrogant back there" He was pertaining to what he did at the two of them at the Journalism Room, he just felt guilty after all.

"It's fine. Baka nakaharang lang talaga kami sa daan. Sorry din" Nagtataka rin si Claire why he acted like that but since nag-sorry na naman sa kanya si Sunghoon, they are both okay now.

"I-It's just that I don't want you to get hurt again. You know how that guy is a jerk. Ano ba kasing pinag-usapan niyo kanina?" Sunod sunod na sambit ni Sunghoon. Claire just laughed at his reaction. Para siyang batang inagawan ng candy sa itsura niya ngayon.

"He just asked me about the article. You know I can't ignore him like that" She was kinda right. It was her duty to answer her members especially when they needed help.

"Claire, I am still thankful that we met again. And I just want you to know that" Claire creased her forehead, she was wondering why he was saying something like this all of a sudden.

"Kahit nakakahiya yung ginawa ko, I guess I feel the same way as you" nakangiting sambit ni Claire. He saw the man smiled sweetly at her.

"Don't you sometimes think why we met again after that one rainy day?" Claire was still full of questions. Nagtataka na siya why Sunghoon is suddenly being like this.

She doesn't know how to express properly but that feeling when you feel when that person likes you? He was also saying some things that he doesn't used to say before. She just thinks that Sunghoon generally changed.

"Why?" Claire asked.

"Maybe because we're destined for each other"
