YOONGI

Kadiliman. Yoon, yoon lang ang tanging nakikita ko ngayon. Kaka-bangon ko lang mula sa aking pagkawalan ng malay.

Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako ngayon, pero nararamdaman ko na nasa isang higaan ako. Sobrang init dito, kung sino man 'tong kumidnap sa'kin, 'di manlang ako binigyan nang fan. Ramdam ko ang pag patak ng butil-butil kong pawis.

Pilit kong tinatanggal ang tali sa aking mga kamay para matanggal ko ang takip sa aking mga mata.

Labing limang minuto na ang lumipas pero hindi ko parin matanggal, sumuko na lang ako at humiga.

Habang nakatitig sa kadiliman, iniisip ko kung nasaan ako ngayon, kung ano yung dahilan kung bakit ako kinidnap. Kahit anong isip ko, wala talaga akong maisip na rason kung bakit nila ginawa 'yon.

Sure, mayaman kami, pero I really don't see any reasons for them to take me here. Ang baho dito. In fact, I can't wait to go home, rest, and sleep.

Alam kong nasa higaan ako at pwede ako matulog dito, pero, it's so uncomfy here. I'm not used sleeping without an AC turned on.

Ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? Wala naman.

'Di ko maintindihan ang sarili ko, bakit hindi ako kinakabahan? Literal na kinidnap ako, pero wala akong kabang nararamdaman. 'Di dapat ako maging kampante ngayon, who knows kung anong gagawin nila sa akin? What if patayin nila ako? Fuck, I need to do something.

Oh wait, I can't do anything since my hands is tied and so as my feet.

Napabuntong-hininga ako at humiga. Ramdam ko ang pagbigat ng mga mata ko. And I fell into a big slumber.

YOONGI

"Mr. Min? Mr. Min!" Tawag sa'kin ng sekretaryo ko.

It's been months since the kidnapping happened, at kahit ilang buwan na ang nakalipas hindi ko pa rin makalimutan.

It wasn't that traumatizing, why? Kasi nung nakatulog ako no'n, nagising nalang ako na nasa sariling kama ko na ako. The thought of "bakit nila ako binalik sa bahay namin ng ganon-ganon na lang?" still lingers on my head.

"Is it still about what happened in the past few months?" Tanong n'ya. Alam na alam n'ya talaga ang iniisip ko tuwing natutulala ako. I'm not surprised though, matagal na rin naman kaming mag-kaibigan kaya alam na alam n'ya na ako, plus; isa din s'yang mapagmasid na tao.

"We should not be talking about such things here at the company, oras ng trabaho ngayon." Mahigpit kong sabi.

"Sorry. I-" Sabi n'ya, but before he finishes his sentences, I cutted him off.

"As you should, bakit ka nga pala nandito?" Sabi ko habang nagta-type sa aking laptop.

"Sir, I just want to remind you that you're having a meeting with Mr. Choi mamayang 2:00 PM." Sabi n'ya while looking through his tablet. "And after that, your father will drop by to have dinner with you, your brother, and your mother. Mr. Min (Yoongi's dad) said that he needs to discuss some few things with you guys." Dagdag n'ya.

It's probably about the scandal that has to do with one of our models, which is Nari.

"That girl is so fucking problematic, I swear." I said and rolled my eyes.

Nari's is our very outstanding model, she's popular, and successful, which made our company grew more. We owe her a lot, but one thing about that girl is, she got involve in a lot of rumors, which make my job much more harder.

"There's no time for that attitude Mr. Min. This meeting is important." Sabi n'ya at nagtaas ng kilay.

Tumingin ako sa kan'ya. Minsan talaga parang s'ya pa yung boss. I chuckled at that thought.

"Is that so, Mr. Kim Taehyung?" I smiled. "Don't worry, paghahandaan ko." Tuloy ko.

"Good, that's all Mr. Min, you still have an hour para 'paghandaan' yung meeting." Sabi n'ya at ngumiti, emphasizing the word 'paghandaan'.

I swear I'm gay for this guy, I love his smile. I shook the thought and straighten myself.

"I should get going now, magsesend pa ako ng email kay Mr. Jeon." Sabi n'ya.

I nodded and pointed at the door. He walked to the door and held the doorknob. Once he twisted it, he stopped and looked back to me and said,

"Good luck with the dinner later." He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and continued what I was doing. He finally got out and I looked around my office.

Is it really just about the scandal?
