KIM SEOKJIN

I had a great day yesterday so I woke up early. Hindi ko pa rin makakalimutan 'yung mukha ni Yin nang tanungin ko s'ya kung pwede ba akong manligaw. Her eyes widen and I see her cheeks getting red.

"Yes, you can." She didn't hesitate that time and I can't contain myself so I smile like an idiot and bowed at her.

"Thank you very much, Yin. I'll never waste this chance." I said to her, still felt butterflies in my stomach.

Hinatid ko s'ya sa bahay nila noong gabi na 'yon. I saw Yin's mother waiting at their gate but I didn't have a courage to say that I'm courting her daughter, so I just introduce myself as her friend that taking her home then leave.

Bumaba na ako sa kitchen matapos kong magbihis at mag-ayos ng sarili. I saw dad and mom eating breakfast and I think Seokjung hyung are still in his room.

"Your brother cannot take you to school. Ako muna ang maghahatid sa'yo." Dad spoke to me as I sit to my chair. Kumuha na ako ng breakfast at kumain bago pa ako malate at magalit itong maghahatid saakin. Baka sa college pa ata ako mabigyan ng sariling sasakyan. Gano'n kase sila kay kuya dati.

"Eat more, anak. You eat like a bird, huh." My mom said and put veggies in my plate. Kinain ko rin naman iyon agad kase hindi naman ako maarte sa pagkain.

When I already finished to eat my breakfast, I get my bag and go to my father's car. Inantay ko lang s'ya saglit at umalis na kami.

"Ngayon nalang ulit kita nahatid, son. How's your school naman?" My dad asked me as he stopped the car when he saw the red traffic light.

"Okay naman po." I flashed my sweet smile on him then I remember something. "Dad, I already asked Yin if I can court her." I excitedly said cause I know he will be proud of me.

"Really, anak? Pumayag naman s'ya?" I nodded. He grinned at me and patted my shoulder using his right hand. "Congrats, son." We saw the traffic lights turn to green so my dad proceeds to drive.

"But Yin said she had a packed schedule. So... I don't have any idea right now how can I spend my time with her." I confessed to my dad. I tried to search earlier how to court a girl but I want a unique way since Yin is very special to me.

"You know, son? Noong nililigawan ko pa 'yang mom mo, hatid-sundo ko 'yan kapag papasok kami sa paaralan. Consistent akong ganoon sakanya hanggang sagutin n'ya ako." My dad said with satisfaction in his eyes. "... Sulit talaga lahat ng hirap ko nung pinakilala n'ya ako sa lolo at lola mo noon."

Patuloy lang ang kwentuhan namin ni dad hanggang sa mahatid n'ya ako sa school. Labis naman ang tuwa ko dahil nabigyan n'ya ako ng idea kung paano ang gagawin kong panliligaw kay Yin. Bago ako makababa sa kotse ay tinext ko na rin pala ang nililigawan ko na ako ang maghahatid sakanya pauwi sa kanilang bahay.

"Oy! Seokjin hyung, kamusta kagabi, huh?" Salubong saakin ni Jungkook na kakarating lang din. Marami na ang nagpapasukang estudyante kaya naman magkaakbay narin kaming dumiretso sa classroom.

"Pumayag s'ya Kook." I said those words to him and my heart starts to skip a beat. Umakto naman itong naiiyak at niyakap ako.

"Congrats bro, 'wag mo sana akong kalimutan kapag lagi mo na s'yang kasama ah." Humiwalay na ito saakin at kunwaring nagpupunas ng luha. "... O kaya maghanap nalang din ako ng shota para sumaya rin ako kagaya mo." He go back to his seat like nothing's happened. Saltik talaga 'to kahit kailan.
