A Certain Someone: Chapter 54 - A Night to Remember

The clamor and laughter from the BBQ restaurant gradually faded as the night grew cooler. The lively group of friends dispersed, but not before a memorable evening had been shared. Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian, among others, enjoyed the night, though the effects of the drinks were beginning to show.

At the restaurant, kyle was the center of attention. He was removing the soft tendons from an iron stick with a casual air, while over thirty pairs of eyes watched him intently.

"What are you doing, Brother kyle ?" one student finally asked, breaking the curiosity-filled silence.

Dave looked up, his face breaking into a grin. "Just savoring the moment. What's up?"

"And what about your grades, Brother kyle?" another asked, a hint of concern in their voice.

"Ah, those!" he chuckled. "They used to fluctuate so much that our head teacher almost had a heart attack."

"No way!" the crowd gasped in unison. "Your grades really made the teacher angry?"

"Of course," he said, shrugging. "We all have our off days. Sometimes I'd be on fire, finishing problems in no time. Other days, I'd struggle. But that's life!"

He paused, his eyes twinkling as he continued, "You know, if you drink too much, your tongue gets bigger. Quarrels and conflicts are just part of growing up. Looking back, I see it all as just part of the ride."

The group listened intently, amused by kyle's nonchalant attitude towards his academic rollercoaster.

Habang patuloy ang gabi, naging mas personal ang pag-uusap. Nagbalik-tanaw si Kyle tungkol sa kanyang dating guro. "Sobrang istrikto niya, pero sobrang nagmamalasakit siya sa akin. Nang nagkasakit siya, nagmamadali akong umuwi, pero na-miss ko ang kanyang huling sandali. Naging wake-up call sa akin kung gaano kahalaga ang oras natin."

Panandaliang napatigil ang usapan, apektado ng taos-pusong kwento ni Kyle. Ang kanyang mga salita ay nagpapaalala sa lahat ng kahalagahan ng pagpapahalaga sa mga tao sa paligid natin.

Pagkatapos, nagpasya ang grupo na maglaro ng "Hold 7," isang simpleng counting game na agad naging magulo dahil sa ilang mga inumin. Nahihirapan si Sheng Wang sa mga patakaran, at ang kanyang mga pagkakamali ay nagbibigay ng walang katapusang kasiyahan sa kanyang mga kaibigan.

"Sheng Wang, you're supposed to skip 7 and multiples of 7!" Jiang Tian said, laughing as he took the glass from Sheng Wang's hand. "You're making it harder for yourself!"

"Okay, okay, I give up!" Sheng Wang said, grinning and wobbling slightly. "You win!"

As the game wrapped up, Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian headed outside. They walked through the quiet streets, where the cool night air was a welcome relief. In an alleyway, Sheng Wang noticed kyle and Jr walking ahead. They were deep in conversation, sharing intimate moments.

Lumapit si Kyle at hinalikan si Jr sa labi, ang eksena ay naiinugan ng malambot na liwanag ng streetlamp. Napaluhod ang mga mata ni Sheng Wang sa gulat.

"Whoa, hindi ko inaasahan 'yan," bulong ni Sheng Wang, sinubukang magtago sa likod ng pader.

Nakita ni Jiang Tian ang reaksyon ni Sheng Wang at tinanong na may tawa, "Anong nangyari? Parang nakakita ka ng multo."

"Ah, n-nagulat lang ako..," sagot ni Sheng Wang, sinisikap na magmukhang cool. "Sige, maglakad na tayo."

As they returned to their dormitory, Sheng Wang's steps were unsteady. He managed to shower quickly and then collapsed into bed, his mind racing with the night's events. Jiang Tian, ever the caretaker, helped him settle in.

The next morning, Sheng Wang woke up with a groggy head, his emotions tangled from the previous night. Nalaman niyang nakahiga siya sa tabi ni Jiang Tian, na ang pakiramdam ay magkahalong hiya at kalituhan.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Sheng Wang started to say, but Jiang Tian just smiled and squeezed his hand.

"It's okay," Jiang Tian said softly. "You were tired. We can talk later. Let's just enjoy the moment."

Sheng Wang nodded, feeling a wave of relief. He carefully climbed back to the upper bunk, trying to shake off the remnants of his awkwardness.

As the sunlight filtered through the window, the dormitory was filled with a peaceful quiet. Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian both knew that the night had brought them closer in ways they hadn't expected, and they were ready to face whatever came next, together.
