MINT WOKE up feeling satisfied. It feels like something warm was draped over stomach and it felt good.

She opened her eyes to see what was the heavy thing on her stomach, and her surprise was that it was Airdane sleeping peacefully.

Her heart was beating so fast as she stared at Airdane, looking so peaceful.

Mint was trying not to move too much as she thought of ways to lift Airdane up without waking her up.

And with that, Mint carefully held Airdane's head, lifting it slowly as she moved, wishing that the girl wouldn't wake up.

To her surprise, Airdane didn't. She carefully carried her, even though she was struggling. She carefully laid her down on the couch, putting a pillow under her head, and took the blanket from the other couch.

Mint was about to get up when she noticed something on Airdane's arm. It wasn't that visible, but she could see a huge scar on it, like it was operated on.

Looking at it intently, Mint was imagining how painful that could be when it was still a fresh wound.

Mint shrugs her thoughts off as she fixes Airdane's blanket

Mint shrugs her thoughts off as she fixes Airdane's blanket.

She looked around, looking for windows that might have been left open and closed it.

The next thing she did was check the door, but she was startled when someone opened it.

"The heck!"

Mint quickly looked at Airdane, hoping that she wasn't disturbed by her squeal.

"Hala ka, sorry. 'di ako mag nanakaw," the girl said. She opened the door widely as the girl came in and finally recognized her.

"Seth! You scared me."

"Huy! Ako din naman quits lang, bakit ka pala nandito? Asan si ate dane?"

"Tulog, we both fell asleep earlier." They both looked at Airdane, who was sleeping.

"Uuwi kana ba? Medyo late na, may sasakyan kabang dala?"

"Yes, hanap na din ako ni ate Caless baka pumindot na si anger sa controller niya kapag hindi pa ako umuwi," natatawag sagot ko.

"Sira ka teka, mag kape ka muna baka antukin ka bigla mahirap na," she offered. I nodded while she led me to the kitchen.

"You live here too?" I asked.

"Oo, pero isang linggo lang habang nag hahanap pa ako ng apartment," she answered as she made a coffee.

"Do you need help? I know some places."

"Huy, kung kasing yaman mo ako, oo ang sagot ko, pero teh. Masyado kang mayaman baka out of budget yang places na sinasabi mo."
