Shannequin (Cha Eunwoo AU)

Chapter Six

Keziah's POV

I froze for seconds in my seat from what I heard.

"W-Wait, paki-ulit nga nang sinabi mo. Baka namali lang pagkakadinig ko eh." sabi ko habang kinakalikot ko ang kaliwang tenga ko gamit ang kalingkingan ko.

I know that's gross pero baka kasi na-misheard ko lang talaga ang huli niyang sinabi.

He sighed, "For the nth time, I am Cha Eunwoo−"

Bigla akong humagalpak ng tawa bago pa niya tapusin ang sasabihin niya, seconds later, I tried to suppress my laughter since everyone was in deep slumber.

"As expected, I knew this thing would happen, and it really did," he said before letting out a frustrated sigh.

"N-Nice joke," I commented between my laughs.

"And prank at the same time," I added.

"I just wanted to say that I'm not joking or pulling a prank on you." he calmly said pero alam kong nagpipigil siya ng inis niya.

He can't blame me for that. It's not my fault if I don't believe in his claim that he's Eunwoo. Paano ko siya paniniwalaan if there's no concrete evidences?

"Chill," I said and started to wander my sight around the room while raising my hands.

"Okay, if you're not joking or what, anong tawag mo ro'n sa pagpapakilala mo sa sarili mo na ikaw si Eunwoo? Extension ng April Fool's Day?"

We're still in the month of April anyway.

"Kapatid ka nga ni MJ."

"How the heck did you know my brother?"

"How can I not know him? Obviously, he's one of my best friends. To be specific, he's my son. We're part of the band named Astro, where Sanha is part of it, too."

Hala ka MJ at Sanha, ba't 'di niyo sinabi sa akin na may kaibigan kayong nagtatago sa dilim? Na may kaibigan kayong multo o ano man 'to.

Parang ang labo naman na maging multo si Eunwoo, ang gwapo niya para ro'n. But could he really be Eunwoo? But he passed away a year ago. If he is really Eunwoo, ba't niya ako kinakausap? Ba't ako ang kinakausap niya? Multo ba talaga siya? Ligaw na kaluluwa?

He knew MJ and Sanha, even their band. He even knew me and the name of that sphynx cat.

"If hindi mo kayang magpakita, how can you convince me that you're really Eunwoo? With that, I could tell if you were lying or not."

Kung si Eunwoo talaga siya, ano 'yon nabuhay siya ulit? O baka doppelganger niya ito?

Okay, I'm exaggerating things now.

"I'm still trying to find a way how I could−"

"Okay," I cut his word and stood from my seat.

"Tulong!"

"What the heck?"

He started to panic as soon as I shouted, pero parang tanga naman akong nangangapa sa dilim.

Asan na ba kasi 'yong pinto?

Hindi ko rin alam kung nasaan ang switch ng ilaw rito at kung sinuswerte ka ba naman iniwan ko pa ang phone ko sa kwarto namin. Wala akong pang-flashlight, please lang.

"Stop shouting!" he hissed.

Hindi ko siya pinakinggan at ipinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagsigaw ko. I doubt if they will even hear it, kasi hello? Nasa pinakadulo ng hallway ang kuwartong 'to at ang agwat ng kada kuwarto ay may kalayuan nang konti.
