If This Was A Movie

Chapter 5 - I'm Drunk, I Love You

"A turret has been destroyed." A woman's voice announces from their phones.

"Tangina push kase." Jamee tells the group.

"Saglet patayin ko lang 'tong si Pharsa, ang kulit ng lahi eh." As Carmela aggressively taps through her phone

"You have slain an enemy."

"Ayan tangina mo kasi wag ako."

"Ayan gagalit na si Nana." Seokjin adds

"Back! Back! Back!" Yoongi shouts at his teammates.

"Ako bahala sa base, push na kayo," Jamee says, tapping away at her phone. "Pupuslit ka pa Zilong ah."

"A turret has been destroyed."

"Puta ang dami dito sa baba!" Carmela screams asking for help from her teammates.

"Pababa na takbo ka lang" Seokjin

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH" Carmela squeals, "Ok bye I'm dead" Letting her phone drop on her lap.

"Resbakan kita bes" as Seokjin taps his phone "Nobody gets to kill my bestie"

"An enemy has been slain."

"Double kill."

"Triple kill."

"Tara tara end na natin to."

The three focus on taking down the opponent's base.

"Puta bobobo niyo kase!" Yoongi screams

"Aral muna kayo mga bata" Seokjin adds

"Hahabol pa si Franco eh, haha!" Carmela adds as she watched the three take down the base.

"GG! GG!" Jamee exclaims.

"Masaya sana to kung ranked eh" Seokjin places his gaze at Carmela who has been left behind at the lower ranks.

"I told you, naglalaro na lang ako pag nag-aya kayo. Tamad ako magpa-rank up." Carmela has explained this over and over again.

Most of their free days were made of mobile games, cheap food, beer and long conversations. Often times they didn't have the energy (and the money, to be quite real) to go all the way to Omelas. Carmela's apartment has been the usual venue of hangouts and house parties. Living room table often filled with shot glasses, bottles of beer, and platters of food. Kitchen counters messy from Yoongi and Seokjin preparing food. Toilet seat occupied by one of them, draining their insides, holding on to the seat for dear life. A typical college night. It's almost a month since Jamee moved in and it has now become her home too.

"Hoy, kayong dalawa, maghugas kayo ng pinggan bago umuwi." Jamee calls out the two, as she stares at the pile of dishes in need of washing.

"Nako asa ka pa sa dalawang yan." Carmela explains.

"So ganon? Astang prinsipe kayo habang inaalila niyo best friend ko?"

"Carms, pauwiin mo na kaya si Jamee? Hindi ba parang overstaying na siya dito?" Yoongi complains.

"Hatid mo. Ikaw nakaisip eh." Carmela jeers, not looking up from her phone.

"Sorry boy, but you're stuck with me now" Jamee teases Yoongi.

Yoongi takes a deep sigh as he stretches his body, finally standing up after hours of playing, "Sige na nga... Pero next time paper plates na lang tayo ah."

Silence.

"...That's actually a really good idea", Carmela slowly looks at Yoongi. "Ba't ngayon mo lang sinuggest yan?"
