Chapter 33:
ROWOON KO
It's been a week since I last saw Jam, I terribly missed her and I can no longer wait to see her today. I didn't even slept last night because I was so excited. I feel like I was in a drugs, high na high. I hurriedly went to my bathroom and take a bath. I need to look good today so that she will fall hard for me. Hanging on the thought that, does she have to fall for me? Naka-smile lang ako habang nakatitig sa reflection ko in the mirror. Thinking Kay makes me nervous. Arrgh "What a mess." Napasigaw ako dahil nabitawan ko ang cream para sa mukha ko. "Ano ba!, hindi pa nga ako nagkakape nenerbyos na ako."

"Who's that?" I turn my head towards my door. I saw dad walking suspiciously towards me. "Oh, dad, anyeong! How are you?" I ask him with a pleasant greetings. "Son, where are you going so early?" I answered him, "Going somewhere to find my better half!" sabay tawa.
I saw dad looking straight at me without blinking his eyes and studying my expression. "Oh dad, I'm just kidding okay, ang bata ko pa para sa ganon no. I need to focus on my studies and be a doctor to manage our hospital. Sabay akbay kay dad kasi mukhang hindi niya nagustuhan ang biro ko.
Minsan ang seryoso nito kapag mga ganong matters na ang nasasabi ko or napag usapan namin. "Ang serious mo! Smile na d'yan." kiniliti ko sa tagiliran, biglang nagpupumiglas at tawang tawa. "Ro, you got me, alam na alam mo talaga ang kahinaan ko." nagkatawanan kami palabas ng room ko heading to our garden to have our family breakfast.
Yaya Minji is waving and signaling me to hurry up. Tinulak ko na si dad papunta roon sa breakfast table. "Son, be careful baka madapa tayo." Binitawan ko na siya para hindi siya madisgrasya at baka yun pa ang maging cause ng hindi kami matuloy sa pagbreakfast namin.
I sat down to my usual spot, smiling to the three women in front of me. "Anyeonghaseyo Ajumas!" Wala ng nagawa ang tatlo kundi sumagot nalang saakin ng anyeong, "wow member ba kayo ng choir?" tanong ko sa kanila. Sumagot ang magaling kong ate. "Bakit mo nasabi, abet?" Hindi na ako sumagot pa at tumawa na lamang ako ng bahagya at habang nakatakip ang bibig ko ng aking mga daliri.
Nagulat nalang ako may humampas sa braso kaya napasigaw ako. "Ugh, what's that? Anong problema mo? Mommy oh, ano ba yan si ate!" Nag angat ng paningin si mommy at sabay sabi ng, "mabuti nga sayo! Naughty mo kasi!" sabay bulong kay ate na katabi nito. We had a happy breakfast that day. I can say that family is all the matters in this life. No matter how hard life is they are always there for you no matter what.
I almost in Jam's house when I saw someone coming from inside suspiciously. Wearing black hat and jacket with hood. I was a bit anxious thinking of if what happened to Jam and hurriedly running inside to check on her. I saw Jam lying on the floor seems breathless. I shouted her name! "Jam! Jam!"
