Between The Lines

Gift (M)

Day 2 of intrams.

I woke up to find Jennie missing from our shared bed. I quickly took a half bath to freshen up, my curiosity piqued by Miss kim absence. As I descended the stairs, the enticing aroma of breakfast filled the air.

I entered the kitchen to find her bustling around, cooking with a focused yet cheerful demeanor. Miss kim turned with a warm smile and a plate of perfectly cooked pancakes.

"Good morning!" she said softly. "I wanted to surprise you with breakfast." My heart melted at her thoughtfulness and the simple joy of the moment. I walked over and gave Jennie a quick hug. "You didn't have to, but I'm so glad you did. This looks amazing."

Miss Kim blushed slightly, turning back to the stove. "I just wanted to do something nice for us. I figured starting the day with a good breakfast would be a great way to go. Lalo na mamaya busy na naman kami."

As I took a seat at the kitchen table, she served the breakfast with a side of fresh fruit and a steaming mug of coffee. We enjoyed our meal together, the morning filled with warmth and quiet conversation.

I was heading to school, still savoring the memory of the sweet breakfast Jennie had made. As I walked through the campus, I spotted my friends, Seulgi and Somi, waiting by the entrance.

"Hey, Dude. Sup?" Seulgi called out, waving her over. "We've been wondering about last night. What happened after the fight at the club? When Miss Kim talk to you?"

My expression shifted to one of mild surprise. "Oh, that. Well, after we had a conversation, things calmed down pretty quickly. We just decided to head out and grab some food. Nothing too dramatic, really." Sabi ko sakanila. Para na rin hindi nila malaman kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari kagabi, ayaw ko rin naman malaman nila na nag away kami.

Pumunta na ulit kami sa booth namin, naabutan ko yung mga studyante doon tapos sila Ryan. "Dude, anong nangyari sa mukha mo?" Tanong ni Ryan.

"Wala 'to" Sagot ko. "By the way, pupunta dito sila Ms. Bae, kayo na lang bahala sakanila dahil may laro pa kami" paalam nila Ryan. I know na pupunta sila Ms. Bae dito dahil sinabi ni Ms. Kim ang tungkol rito.

"Naku, baka asarin lang tayo ni Ms. Kim kung kasama siya" Sabi ni Somi, mukhang na trauma na yata siya.

"Speaking of Ms. Kim, pareho kayo nawala kagabi, saan kayo pumunta?" Lumapit si Somi at saka Seulgi sa akin habang hinihintay ang sagot ko.

"Fine, nag away kami tapos umuwi kami ng bahay niya" Mahinang sagot ko. Baka kasi may makarinig sa amin.

Pareho naman silang na pa 'woah' sa sinabi ko. "And? Ano pa ang nangyari?" tanong ni Somi at mukhang may gusto pa yata malaman.

"Wala, hindi p'wede sabihin" Sabi ko saka lumabas ng booth para ilagay yung standee namin. "Ikaw na ang idol ko , Lisa. Sana turuan mo kami pano lumandi" Sabay nilang sabi.

After ng ilang minuto nang makita ko sila Ms. Wendy na papunta na rito, and then I saw my love of my life.

Jennie was dressed in a stylish yet elegant outfit-a fitted blazer over a soft blouse, paired with tailored trousers that highlighted her graceful presence. Her hair was styled neatly, and she wore a warm, radiant smile that seemed to light up the whole area.
