'Love Bad Things

Chapter 18

TPOV

"How's Mina?"

It's 6 am in the morning but the only person that came in Chaeyoung minds' is Mina. It seems like it became a habbit to her without her knowing it.

With a messy hair, Chaeyoung only wear his bathrobe with a quirky tiger print on it. She has been obsessed with it. Palagi niya ito sinusuot tuwing umaga kahit kakatuyo pa lang nito mula sa kanyang dryer. As usual, she sat in her regular spot on the table with her food prepared by her Yam.

Nagtinginan lang sina Hawk at Yam na parang nag-uusap gamit ang kanilang mata. Alam iyun ni Chaeyoung kaya napabuntong hininga lang ito. "Well?"

"She's doing well, Katana."sagot ni TJ.

Katana... that name. The last she heard is from her Mother. 'Yan ang codename ng namatay 'yang Ina. She took it to honour her beloved Mother, the only person who loved her. Like those who served them, she also died when she was protecting her Dad from their enemy. Chaeyoung doesn't really remember the detail how she died pero nalaman niya na lang isang araw no'ng dinala ito ng kanyang Ama na puno ng dugo at walang buhay. While his Father slowly fed by despair, Chaeyoung doesn't know how to accept her reality. Her only world is gone.

Despite the fact she was trained what kind of kingdom she lives, she couldn't attain losing everyone who mean to her whilst witnessing their suffering because of her, or because of her Father. She has to continue leaving a life where she needs to be protected, even hiding her real identity.

Also, using Katana is good strategy, to confuse her enemy. To make them think who is who.

Chaeyoung did not change her demeanor. "Good."

"Why you didn't talk to her? Are you avoiding her?"Yam asked.

She stopped. Kumunot ang noo nito at tumingin kay Yam, as if Yam asking a stupid question.

"What do you mean?"

Napasinghap si Yam sa kaibigan. "What do you mean 'What do you mean', Katana?"

"I don't think it's my obligation to talk to her all the time. I kidnapped her, remember? She's no a visitor nor a friend here."she said coldly.

"Alam mo, hindi rin kita maintindihan. We all know that she's just victim here, at alam mo ang dahilan kung bakit natin ginawa 'to. Don't treat her like she's a threat because she isn't" 'Di mapigilan na magtaas ng boses si Yam.

TJ already held her arm to stopped her. Kahit na magkaibigan ang dalawa, boss parin nila ang kausap nito. Even so, Yam did not listen and harshly took off TJ's hand while looking at Chaeyoung intensively. Si Chaeyoung naman, di parin nagbago ang ekspresyon. She's expecting her to behave like that because she knew Yam very well.

Uminom lang ito ng tubig at tumahimik lang.

"Ikaw itong nagsasabi na stick with the plan, pero may ginagawa na pala kayo ni Mina na hindi namin alam."she said.

"Yam..."TJ warned her.

"Ano ba!?"singhal niya kay Hawk. "I don't get you. What's with you, Katana?"dagdag ni Yam.

Padabog na tinipon ni Chaeyoung ang table napkin sa lamesa at nanliksik ang mga mata na tila ba naiirita sa pagiging makulit ni Yam."Hindi ko talaga maintindihan kayong mga babae kayo. Ang daldal niyo. Why can't you just shut your effin mouth and go with the flow?"naiinis na saad ni Chaeyoung.

Nagkasamaan ng tingin sina Chaeyoung at Yam. TJ, being the only one who is sane at the moment, stopped and calm the two from fighting. "Huwag naman natin pailaliman 'yung business natin kay Mina para lang mag-away kayo."pagasasaway niya sa dalawa. "Si Chaeyoung na ang bahala sa plano niya."dagdag niya.
