"Hatid na kita, may maghahatid ng car ko jan sa labas" sabi ni Jongin habang naglalakad kami palabas ng eroplano. Dalawa kaming Senior Architect sa project na ito at kasama namin si Yeji, ongoing ang Apprenticeship niya sa firm namin kabatch niya si Jung Ha. 

"Oh, no na. Thank you." I politely declined then asked Yeji "Ikaw Yej? You have sundo?" I asked her and she shook her head "Sabay ka na sakin" I offered her
"Naku, nakapagbook na po ako ng angkas ko Architect. Thank you po." she politely declined "Gusto ko na din po kasi makauwi agad at matulog kaya nagbook na po ako kanina" she grinned. 


Pagkalabas namin ng airport ay naghintay kami sa isang bay. 
"Bili lang po ako ng tubig saglit" sabi ni Yeji at iniwan na kaming dalawa dito 
Sinundan ko lamang siya ng tingin habang naglalakad siya papalapit sa isang stall dito sa may labas ng airport. 

"Are you su--" Saktong nagring naman ang cellphone ko nang magsalita si Jongin sa tabi ko
"Oh, excuse me" I quickly told him as I answered the call quickly 

"Hey" I greeted my caller
"Yes, we are waiting outside already."
"Okay, okay. I'll see you in a while." 
"Here lang sa Bay 12"
"Alright. Drive carefully. See youuu" I answered before I ended the call 

"Water po oh" abot ni Yeji ng tig isa kami na bottle 
"Oh, thank you" we answered and dumating na din sakto yung na book niya na motorcycle.

"Una na po ako. Ingat po kayo" She told us before the motorcycle drove away.


"Let's go na. My car is there na sa parking lot" Jongin said as he draped one of his arms on my shoulder. 
I slightly moved away to face him "No na, thank you. My sundo is near na din" I answered him. I don't really like the fact that he is touching me, it makes me feel uncomfortable. 
"Really ba? Or you are just rejecting me again?" he asked me jokingly but I heard a hint of seriousness in there 
"It is true. My girlfriend called kanina, you heard naman e" I said with a forced chuckle and he still didn't believe me. I was discreetly shaking off his hands pero mejo firm talaga
"Come on, Jen. Ihahatid lang kita" he said again 

"Honey, are you ready to go?" napalingon kami sa boses 
I beamed at my girlfriend who just arrived and even went out of her car.
I rushed to her arms and she hugged me tightly. "I missed you" she weakly said through the hug. Kinuha nito ang maliit na luggage na hawak ko as we broke the hug.

"Oh, honey. This is Jongin Kim. Siya yung kasama ko na Senior Architect sa project namin." I told my girlfriend habang nakaakbay siya saakin, we are standing side by side across Jongin "Architect, this is my girlfriend Lisa" I quickly introduced them to each other.

"Honey, we have to go na. We can't park here" she shyly told me, nakahazard lang yung car niya dito.

"We'll go ahead, Architect" I bid goodbye to Jongin.
"Do you want to sabay nalang, Architect?" my girlfriend politely asked and the other refused since he has his car naman. 

My girlfriend is currently at the dining area naghahain ng meryenda, nagdrive thru na kami kaninang pauwi kami dito sa bahay. Natulog lang ako sa byahe kanina and nagising nang nasa drive thru kami then natulog ulit. Medyo pagod ako sa byahe kahit isang oras lang yun dahil sa dami ng work na ginawa ko for the past few days. Pagkadating nga dito sa bahay ay sumalampak ako agad dito sa couch, si Lisa naman dumerecho pa sa kwarto ko para iayos yung gamit ko. 

"Jen? Are you awake?" she asked softly at sumilip pa dito sa living room. 
"Come na let's eat, I am sure you are famished" she added

I immediately went to the dining area and hugged her from the back
"What's wrong honey? You've been quiet" I asked her dahil kapansin pansin talaga ang pagiging tahimik niya, kahit pagod siya galing duty hindi naman siya ganito.
"Hmm, nothing" she answered weakly. 
Bumitaw ako sa hug as I transferred infront of her, hindi siya makatingin sa mga mata ko kaya I cupped her face and asked her once again. "Tell me, what's wrong honey?" 
She frowned and sighed ng malalim "I saw you and the other architect kanina, you didn't even notice I was there na" she answered which made me smile 
I made her sit and sat on her leg, "I am sorry honey." I gave her a peck "I was trying hard to shake his hand off kasi sa pag akbay niya" I saw her eyes brighten a little as she stared at mine meaningfully. "Yeah. I told him na my girlfriend is coming to sundo me but he is makulit e" I caressed her chin quickly "Don't sulk na okay?" And she shyly nodded. "Don't be jealous na ha?" I teased her and she pouted at me "I wasn't" she answered like a baby 
"Oh, Really?" I asked her with a raised eybrow and I got no response 
"I hate it when people lie to me" I shrugged and looked away "and to my face?" I added as I try to stand pero she just held me tighter "Okay, I was. But a little lang, honey"
