Not the Plan

Plan 16

~Do Kyungsoo~

"You're... more beautiful."

I blinked.

I blinked again a few times.

Jongin grinned and looked down. "You can draw it if you want." sabi niya saka binigyan ako ng limang bond papers at isang lapis. Matapos nun, naglakad siya papunta sa kabilang side ng clearing.

Napatingin ako sa rose na hawak ko. Sobrang ganda niya.

Our prof told us to draw something that makes us feel good. And i think, this rose really did make me feel different... in a very good way. It made me feel absolutely different.

Napaupo ako sa clearing at sinimulan na ngang i-drawing yung rose. I'm not an artist but i do know something about sketching and the likes. I looked up and saw Kim Jongin walking back to me. Hawak niya yung phone niya saka tumabi sakin.

"Look." he said and showed me his phone. "I took a picture of this falls on our way here yesterday. Pretty, right?"

I nodded. "Napansin ko din yan kahapon. But it didn't quite catch my attention." i looked away from the picture and continued my drawing.

Jongin sighed. "Well... it did catch mine." then he gave me a big smile.

Nag-stay kami sa clearing ng halos dalawang oras kasi hindi madaling mag-drawing lalo na pag hindi ka naman expert doon. Nag-stay ako sa kabilang dako ng clearing at si Kai naman sa kabila. He drew the falls and i, the rose. I can feel his stares some times but i didn't look up. I don't want to meet his eyes.

Instead, i took numerous pictures of the clearing. May na-picture din akong butterfly na nakadapo sa isang sunflower. Yun yung isa sa mga ida-drawing ko mamaya.

After sometime, Jongin folded the bond papers he's holding and i did the same.

"Come, i'll show you another place." sabi niya at agad akong tumayo. I followed him and not very far from the clearing is a deep cliff.

Mula sa itaas ng bangin, nakikita mo yung pinakamalapit na lugar. Yung mga bubong lang ang nakikita namin at sobrang foggy din ng paligid. I stepped forward and Jongin grabbed my arm.
