Mahal kita kasi? | Jiminjeong AU

Chapter 1

"Jimin! You have to wake up na!" Nagising ako sa alog ng mommy ko. "Aray! Mommy, 'wag, don't!" Tinaklob ko ang kumot sa katawan ko.

'Parang ewan naman.' Ungot ko nang biglang hinila ang kumot at unan ko dahilan para mahulog ako sa kama, tumayo ako to get my glasses. I sighed at their kakulitan, "Jimin ha! Nagiging batugan na 'yang anak mo, Tiffany Yu! Laging late sa klase. Ayusin niyo 'yan." Napa-ipit ako ng dila habang si mama Tiff ay tawa nang tawa.

"Honey, we should let Jimin be." Napangisi ako sa sinabi ni Mama and I was about to give her a high five nang magsalita siya ulit. "But, Jimin alam mo naman na your actions have consequences. We both want the best for you, anak." Tumango na lang ako at biglang nilingon ni mama si mommy at naglambing. 'Napaka-under mo talaga! Aysus!'

"Honey, bati na tayo. I took my day off just for you, hehehe!" And just like that, Mama turned into a loser. Kung ano ikinaseryoso sa trabaho ganoon din ang pagiging masiyahin niya 'pag nakikita ang mommy ko. "Maligo ka na, Jimin. May school ka pa." Saad ni Mommy Taeyeon.

I laughed at how my Mom trapped my Mommy into a hug, kitang-kita ko kung paano ito nagpupumiglas. "Tiffany, ano ba? Tanggal na sabi, nakikita ka ng anak mo."

"Kith ko muna, mahal." Nguso at pang-baby talk ni Mama Tiff at bigla naman din siyang pitikin ni Mommy. Natawa ako na pumasok sa banyo.

'I can never be a loser like Mama, that's just too down bad.'

After I took my coolness bath, I went and wore my school uniform.

"Jimin, you have to eat!"

"Later sa school, Mama!" I replied.

Nagmamadali akong nag-drive nang maalala kong si panotchi nga pala ang unang major subject ko.

I ran faster, "Yu Jimin! Go to the President's office, now!" Sigaw ni Panotchi nang makita ako. Pinandilatan ko naman si Aeri, who kept on laughing with Yeji.

'Traitors!' I thought.

Lugmok akong naglakad while the my Juniors kept on lunging themselves around me, I'm late na kaya!

"Miss Yu, ikaw nanaman?" Tanong ni Ate Joohyun. 'Lah! It's as if I'm not her sister!' Asar kong saad sa utak ko.

"Ate, can't you just sign these? Stop making fun of me!" She snickered as I rolled my eyes. "It's not that easy, Jimin. Bago na ang president, hindi ba?" Sagot niya.

My jaw dropped, 'WHAT? Shit!'

"Good luck, sister. She's not that easy, strikta siya—learnt from the best!" She spoke again as she tapped my shoulders.

"Oh, Yizhuo! Pirmahan na raw kamo ng President niyo." Ate Joohyun teased, "Nako, ate! Ano po ba rason niyo, Miss Yu?" That Yizhuo asked, in which I replied with tardiness and sinaraduhan ako ni Panotchi.

She laughed but I stayed with my bored face. "Nako, antea! Besties pa naman niya si Miss Presi! Nag-report na 'yon si Panotchi kay Miss Presi." Daldal niya. "So you're telling me na hindi ito mawawaive even if I practiced for the University play League?" I made diin sa UPL.

Umiling siya at nagsalita, "Sorry, bossing! It's just that ang motto ni Presi namin ay, 'Sali responsibly'. Saka nakikita ni Miss Presi ang activities niyo po."

"Nakahanap ka rin ng katapat mo." Ngisi ni Ate.

Napahilamos ako sa narinig ko. I walked through the room, it was too quiet for my liking, when Ate was still here; this room was so full of life.

Nag-angat tingin naman ang new presidente. She looked at me as if she was judging me even though she was wearing a mask. "Why wouldn't you sign these?" I asked, impatient.

Tinuro niya ang penalties and binigay ang card ko na may warning. As if to imply na kung tumaas pa ako ay penalty ang abot ko.

"Why aren't you speaking? Aren't you the president?" I asked, getting riled up. She sighed and gave me a paper full of reports from my first subject professors. I winced sa dami.

Nilapitan ko siya and looked at her eyes, 'Doe shaped puppy eyes, okay lang! Her eyes were beautiful and alluring, I wanted to see it more!'

She motioned me to get out as her brows furrowed due to the closeness. Naka-mask pa siya, weird!

Tapos naman na 'yong pandemic, I guess better be safe than sorry. She looked frail and fragile sa pagka-petite niya but mukha naman siyang cute with her get up.

'I couldn't care less.'

I thought as I went out to see my cousins laughing with my Ate. "Wala ka pala kay Mayora eh! BWHAHAHAHA!" Hampas pa nito sa akin. 'Talaga lang ah!'

"Kapitan, you're na-bumble tuloy." Yeji teased as I gave my infamous side stare.

"What?" Giselle, my cousin from Japan is confused.

"You found a match! MWHAHAHA!" Asar nito sa akin. Tumawa rin ang isa ko pang magaling na pinsan, Giselle at Yeji.

I couldn't fathom how I got along with these two.
