Lumabas ako ng bahay namin and saw Jay waiting for me habang nakasandal sa kotse niya. May kasama siyang driver since he's still studying on driving.

"malayo ba pupuntahan natin? bakit naka-kotse pa?" tanong ko at lumapit sa kanya

Umalis siya sa pagkasandal sa kotse niya nang makita niya ako and smiled at me

"you look great" he complimented, making me smile a little. kunyari hindi kinilig

"but it will be better if we look great together" he added bago yumuko, halatang, nahiya sa sinabi niya

"bakit ko ba sinunod si heeseung hyung..." he whispered making me laugh

"banat banat ka pa d'yan, halika na!" Hinila ko siya towards his car at pinagbuksan niya ako ng pintuan.

It was a long ride and the last thing I knew, nakatingin na ako sa isang magandang tanawin while the cold wind brush my hair

"woah! ang ganda dito" sabi ko at tinignan ang mga ilaw sa buildings along with the night sky

"it's pretty 'no? i always go here whenever I feel lonely" he smiled at sa langit

"do you feel lonely?" tumingin ako sa kanya and he did the same

"noon, but you made me less lonely now" ngumiti siya making me chuckle

We were quiet for a moment. Ine-enjoy lang namin ang tanawin pati na din ang katahimikan.

"I realized that you never opened up to me. Nalalaman ko lang ang mga bagay sa buhay mo based on my observation. You didn't really volunteer to open up" he suddenly said, pero hindi siya nakatingin sa akin. He was still looking at the buildings, waiting for me to talk

"Wala naman kasing ganap sa buhay ko. Maliban sa hindi na kami nakakapag-usap ng papa ko dahil busy siya sa work, nothing much is happening" sabi ko at pinaglaruan ang daliri ko

Nag-t-trabaho si papa sa may japan. He's handeling some business there at minsan na lang maka-uwi. Even though bihira na lang kami makapag-usap, I still know that he loves both me and mom because of the efforts na lagi niya ginagawa just for our family.

"and alam mo ba, akala ko happy crush lang kita dati, like simpleng pagtingin lang" dagdag ko at tumingin sa kanya just to caught him already staring at me

"Pero nahulog na pala ako sayo ng sobra sobra" pagpatuloy ko at hindi tinanggal ang paningin sa kanya

I saw him smile a little at naglakad palapit sa akin before holding my hand at tumingin ng daretso sa aking mata

"Akala ko nga hindi kita magugustuhan because hindi talaga ikaw ang tipo ko sa babae" tumawa siya after makita na magbago yung ayos ng mukha ko

So hindi pala talaga niya tipo ang babae na katulad ko???

"Pero I was wrong. Hindi ko din na realize na unti unti na pala akong nahuhulog sa'yo hanggang sa I started to care for you so much" he continued

We spent another hour sa pagkwekwentuhan and catching up sa mga buhay namin. We are sitting on the rooftop's floor, tinitignan ang mga bituin at buwan. I rested my head on his shoulder and smiled at myself after finalizing my desisyon.

"Jay" i called. He hummed in response making me sigh dahil sa kaba

"Imagine tayo na" sabi ko

"Pero tanggalin mo yung first word" napatingin agad siya sa akin and I laughed before nodding my head

"t-tayo na?" He asked again at tumango ako with a big smile on my face

"Oo, tayo na" i confirmed and the next thing I knew, I was embraced by his tight hug and his face was hidden on the crook of my neck

"thank you.." he whispered at hinigpitan ang yakap sa akin. Ngumiti ako before hugging him back

"thank you, babe"
