Her lips; an ART

Chapter 35

Yvaine's POV

I woke up feeling thirsty and hungry. I roamed my eyes around where I'm resting. It's not familiar and I think I have never been in this room before.

Bumangon ako at pilit na inisip kung anong nangyari bago ako nakatulog kanina. I remember being in the hammock, Kale and I are talking and I was taking a video of her. Pagkatapos nun ay hindi ko na alam kung anong nangyari.

This is not Kale's room. Am I in the guest room? The room where I am in is quite simple but has some alluring aura that pulls me back to bed. Black, White and Gray are the color palette of this room. It has some nice wall-hanging portraits. I even saw myself! What the heck. Nasaan ba ako?

"Glad you're awake,"

Lumingon ako kay Kale na papasok ng kuwarto. May dala siyang dalawang paper bag at ngiting ngiti siya agad saakin. I rested my back on the head rest and watched her get close to me. Pinatakan na muna niya ng halik ang aking noo bago ako kinausap.

"You look confused," she said.

"Where are we? Hindi naman 'to ang kuwarto mo diba?"

Or was it renovated too?

"I renovated my room too... hindi mo ba nagustuhan?" bigla niyang sabi.

Umiling ako, "I like it! It looks mysterious and cunty" I chuckled the last word I've said. Cunty, for what ha Yvaine?!

"I know you're hungry... I bought us something to eat. I saw this korean restaurant nearby, I thought you'd want to try"

"Did you get me some rice cakes and kimchi?" excited kong tanong.

She chuckled and nodded her head, "Of course. May fishcake din baby. Kain tayo?"

"Baka madumihan bed mo eh, sa balcony mo nalang tayo" I suggested. Pakiramdam ko kasi sunset na eh.

"Sakto, sunset baby"

Nauna pa akong umalis sa kama kaysa sakanya. Hinila niya ako pabalik dahil hindi niya kayang buhatin lahat ng pagkain nang siya lang. I ended up holding the two cups of iced coffee. Pahirapan pa saaking tumaas sa upuan niya dahil ang taas nito.

Kale was laughing while she carried me. I frowned and rolled my eyes on her. Hindi naman kasi talaga ako maliit. Sadyang mataas lang ang upuan niya.

"Wow! This feels so Korea" I exclaimed.

Tumabi na din saakin si Kale. Inabot niya saakin ang isang container ng tteokbokki at dalawang stick ng fishcake.

"Did you ask for extra cheese baby?" I asked her. Hinalo ko ang pagkain ko.

"Smile baby," I turned to Kale and smiled just like how she wants me to do. "Beautiful and mine"

Hindi ko alam kung nakailang pictures at video kami ni Kale. Basta ang alam ko ay madami yun. We watched the sun set while we talked over our korean snacks. I felt so good and delighted.

She knows I'm forever in love with the sunset. With the skies turning into different pretty pastel colors. Kale knows I love eating korean foods and I'm grateful that these little things still matters to her. What could I ask for?

Napakapit ako sa braso ni Kale nung hilahin niya ang aking upuan palapit sakanya. Linagay niya ang kaniyang braso saaking likuran while I rested my head in her shoulder. I have never felt this peace before. A peace that requires you to not think of anything aside from that very moment. Kale started humming a familiar song which we both liked six years ago. Napangiti ako at hinayaan ang sariling pakinggan siya.
