Dancing On My Own•Sunki Short Story• [Ongoing]

Three[3]

Sunoo's

"That was fast".Ani Jake.

Kahit naman si Sunoo,hindi niya in-expect na tatanggapin ni Riki ang kamay niya.Yes,Riki.Mas gusto niya ang Riki.

Sunoo is waiting for the food outside.Nagpa-deliver lang sila kasi walang marunong magluto sa kanila.I've been practicing pero hindi talaga.Failed.

Nagulat si Sunoo nang may tumabi sa kanya.It was his Boss.

"Do you have plans on helping him Sun?".Mr.Hoseok asked.

"Wala pa Sir,kailangan ko muna siyang mas makilala pa".

"I really hope Sun na bumalik siya sa dati".Malungkot na sabi ng boss niya.

"He still loves to dance right?i think i can help him through dancing".ani Sunoo.

Hindi na nakasagot si Mr.Hoseok dahil dumating na ang deliver nilang pagkain.They both entered the studio.Kumpleto na sana sila pero wala doon sa table si Riki.

Jungwon and Jake prepare the foods.Sunoo was asked by his boss to look after Riki.Hindi alam ni Sunoo saan niya ito hahanapin kaya nilibot niya na lang ang buong studio.

Lakad takbong hinahanap ni Sunoo si Riki.Nalibot na niya buong first floor pero wala ito kaya umakyat siya papuntang 2nd floor.

Napasok na ni Sunoo lahat ng rooms sa 2nd floor pero hindi parin niya ito nakikita.

"Dapat talaga hiningi ko na lang number non.Nasan na ba kasi yong taong yon".

Tatawagan na niya sana si Jungwon pero he heard something.It's coming from the music room.Dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang pinto ng music room.

There he saw Riki,playing the piano and singing.He's singing.

So, before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather

He's singing his heart out.Sunoo can feel the emotions just by watching him.

So, before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go

Hindi namalayan ni Sunoo na umiiyak na siya.He feels it.Ramdam din niya ang sakit.He look at Ni-ki only to find him crying.His shoulders shaking kaya Sunoo reach for his pocket.

Ni-ki's

"You did great"

Dali daling niyang pinunasan ang kanyang mga luha.He look up.Sunoo?.
Inabot nito ang panyo sa kanya.Pero hindi niya ito tinanggap.

"Magaling ka rin pala kumanta.You sound great.Feel na feel ko rin sakit sa pagkanta mo".Ani Sunoo.

Hindi niya alam kung paano niya kakausapin ang lalaking nasa harapan niya.He feels the same pain?

"Alam mo ba sabi nila,it's nice mag open up sa stranger kasi di ka nila iju-judge".Sunoo.

"You're not a stranger.You're Kim Sunoo right?"

"Pangalan ko lang alam mo Riki".Sunoo.

"Riki?"

"Nakalimutan ko.Okay lang bang Riki ang tawag ko sayo?".Sunoo.

Mangha na may pagka gulat si Ni-ki sa narinig.Iisang tao lang ang tumatawag sa kanya ng ganon.

"No"

Nakita niyang niyuko ni Sunoo ang ulo.Nahiya siguro.

Walang nagsalita sa kanilang dalawa habang pababa sa 1st floor para kumain.Nasa hallway palang sila.A music suddenly filled the whole studio.It's pretty sure galing sa baba yon.It's a sweet melody.Masarap pakinggan.

Ni-ki and Sunoo stop walking.Unknowingly,they both close their eyes.They both listen to the sound playing.

Ni-ki was surprised when a pair of hands hold his.It's Sunoo.Sunoo pulls him towards the lobby of 2nd floor.Exactly at the center.

Ni-ki just stand there dahil sa gulat.Nasa gitna sila ng lobby.Sunoo is in the exact center.And when the soft beat drop.Ni-ki's eyes meets Sunoo's hazel eyes.

Sunoo started dancing along with the melody.As if he's one with the ryhtm.Ni-ki is amazed of what he is seeing right now.

The sun's light that entering the windows,The soft music and Sunoo dancing.It's like a perferct.

Hindi alam ni Ni-ki na sumasayaw na rin siya.He move his body smoothly.Sunoo holding his hand and them dancing together.

Eyes lock to each other.Sunoo turns and Ni-ki catching him.The music stop.

They both know it's over but they are still looking at each other's eyes.

It's been so long since i have dance like this.This feeling of me embracing the music.It's been so long since i dance with someone.Ni-ki.

Mr.Hoseok is right.You're great.And im right.I can help you.I want to help you.Sunoo.
