The Hopeless and The Romantic

Home

The noise of the surrounding died down and all I can hear is my racing heart beat.

Be still my heart. Hindi mo gugustuhinh isipin na naman na lahat ng to ay itinakdang mangyari. Because that's far from real atleast for you.

Huminga ako ng malalim at sinubukang ayusin ang sarili ko. The Seventeen members all went back to the stage and introduced themselves. The host asked them a few questions relating to the product and had a bit of photo session before they left the venue.

"Hey Jana! Pulang pula ka nung lumapit dito ung member ng seventeen ah. That's a first for the ice princess" teased by Jun Ho.

I rolled my eyes at him and took a sip of my cocktail. After all this glass holds good memory.

"Shut up Jun Ho!"

I mingled a bit with the people in the party and left early. I can't hold my drinks afterall, so there's no point staying in a place where drinks are being served like raindrops.

Sobrang sakit ng paa ko kinabukasan at halata narin ang pamamaga nito, kaya naman nagpasya na akong magpunta sa doktor.
Since I can't drive, I would just head to the lobby of the appartment complex and book a taxi. I went out of my house hopping my way to the elevator. Naktuon ang atensyon ko sa pagbobook ng taxi, ng magulat ako sa tahol ng aso.

"I'm sorry about that. Are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine" I choked my words and pulled my hands from the man who saved me from falling on my butt.

"Sorry at nagulat ka ni Kkuma. She's jus excited but she's a sweet dog" he bent down and picked up his dog. He slowed down standing up. He probably saw my big bruise and swolen foot. I'm wearing a denim shorts, therefore there's no way I could hide it.

He intently looked at me when he stood up, as if he's trying to get into my soul.

"Are you that person from the airport?" I swallowed from his question. Natatandaan niya ako?

Bago pa ako nakasagot, ay nasundan na naman ng isa pang tanong.

"You're also the woman in the black dress last night right?" His eyes  grew wider from what he realized while I stood there frozen and can't even utter a word.

"Nakuha mo ba yang injury mo dun sa airport?!"

"I'm really sorry about what happened. Now Kkuma even shocked you. I have no words to say but sorry" he said bowing his head ninety degrees.

I was so surprised by his actions. I immediately lifted him up from his bow.

"No, no please don't do that. I don't blame you for anything. It's an accident"

"My manager assured me that you are fine but seeing your injury, that's far from being fine. I should take you to the hospital. Would you please wait for me here? I'll just get ny car keys and wallet" then he ran to the door on the other side and left me there dumbfounded.

Hindi ako komportable sa bagay na pwedeng mangyari sa oras na to. Kaya naman dali dali akong pumasok sa elevator at pinindot ng paulit ulit ang close button. I released a sigh of relief when the door closed, and before I even finished breathing, the door opened again! And there's Seungcheol who looks mighty catching his breath.

'Sabi ko antayin mo ako, bat ka sumakay agad sa elevator?"

"Please you don't have to do this. I told you I'm not blaming you." I sounded a bit frustrated.

"It does not matter if you blame me or not, ako ung dahilan kung bakit na injure, therefore I'm holding myself accountable" his eyes shifted and his voice sounds commanding that it sends chill to my spine.
