When In Japan

Pre-departure

Kathryn's POV: Maybe Next Time

It was Saturday evening when I was slumped on my bed beside DJ who is, I don't know, watching YouTube videos of The Beatles. Nandito daw siya para magpatulong magpack ng damit niya. Dinala niya pa talaga lahat dito. I do not understand. Meanwhile, ako naman, nagse-search sa Pinterest ng things to do in Japan while I stumbled upon a Winter Wedding in Japan post. It was too pretty so I started browsing through the pictures. Mga 10 minutes na akong nagsscroll through different blogs. And I already got carried away and started planning all these things in my head.

Oh my gosh. Kung hindi beach wedding, pwede rin pala na winter wedding. It would be all white and super daming flowers. Tapos my gown's trail will be layered in the snow tapos-

"Ano yan ha?!"

I nearly dropped my phone kasi naman nanggugulat ang isang 'to!

"Nothing. Just scrolling through Japan stuff." And I quickly closed the browser! Aasarin niya ako pag nakita niya yun!

"Weh?! Eh bakit may pa-smile smile ka pa diyan kanina?"

I swear DJ wouldn't stop teasing me until I tell him the truth.

"Totoo nga. I was just planning our adventures pagkapunta doon!"

I got off the bed to start checking my stuff if I brought all the things I need for Japan. Nagshopping kami ni Arisse sa Uniqlo the other day to buy coats cause I lack a few ones.

"Talaga lang ah. Kaya pala winter wedding in Japan ang nakita ko ha!"

I immediately blushed and threw a shirt at him.

"Whatever!"

Then he laughed. That guy. I swear, he can be super annoying sometimes talaga! Anyway, I let him be and started fixing my luggage again.

Thank God rest day na namin sa PSY since nung 23 kaya I really had the time to personally pack my things. I am so excited for Japan! I couldn't help it!

My whole family is coming kaya super saya ko. Finally, after our Europe trip for my 18th birthday, nasundan na ng bagong trip with the family and sa Japan pa!

Akala ko di na matutuloy because of work schedules but buti na lang they allowed me to rest even just for a few weeks. I really am excited for this since kasama rin family ni DJ. Kaso nga lang, iba kami ng itinerary and accommodation sa Japan. Pero okay na rin. At least we're both in the same country. It was okay for me. Pero hindi para sa isang lalaking nakahiga na ngayon sa kama ko at nagmumukmok. He's done watching videos.

"Bal! Napakatagal mo naman. Hindi na nga tayo magkikita ng ilang days kasi naman mauuna flight mo tapos yang luggage mo pa iniintindi mo? Paano naman ako?!"

And he pouted. Grabe talaga ang isang to. I swear, he acts like a kid sometimes. It's a good thing I really love him.

I ignored him and continued fixing my luggage when I realized na nawawala yung isang shirt ko kasi nga I threw it at DJ kanina. So I went near my bed to see that nakatakip na yung arm niya sa eyes niya and parang makakatulog na siya. He's just like an eyebag that became human! Antukin minsan pero minsan naman parang may insomnia!

"DJ, can you stand up and check if nadaganan mo yung shirt ko?"

"Ayoko."

"DJ."

Silence.

"DJ, please. I need to finish packing already."

"Daniel."

"DANIEL JOHN! I swear-"

I didn't had the chance to finish it kasi he pulled my arm and now I lost my balance and I am lying on top off him. On my bed.

Oh my god!

"Kiss muna." Then he started wriggling his eyebrows.

This guy. I swear. Will be the death of me.

"Kiss mo muka mo!"

Thank the heavens I already found my shirt by the edge of the pillow so I quickly pulled it and stood up to put it in my luggage. Nagulat ata siya kaya di na niya ako nahawakan ulit. I laughed.

"Bal naman!!!!!!!"

DJ started throwing his tantrums so I started laughing louder. He quickly became more annoyed so nagbabounce na siya sa bed ko. Imagine what Angelo did in PSY? That's real life DJ right there.

"Ang sama mo talaga. Parang isang kiss lang!"

"Hehe. You love me!"

"Pasalamat ka mahal kita."

I laughed again as I started zipping my luggage. There! All done!

"Bal, I'm done na. Come, let's fix your stuff." I extended my arm for him to take and stand up.

"Ayoko." He pouted even more.

"Okay." I laughed and started to reach for my door handle.

"Hoy Kathryn! Panagutan mo ako dito! Di pa tayo tapos!"

"Stand up, Bal, we need to eat dinner!"

"Bahala ka."

"You're too cute!" I poked his dimple.

I was about to give him a kiss because I couldn't resist his cuteness but then..

"Kath, DJ, Kakain na!"

..he might have need to wait.

"Maybe next time, Bal." I winked and laughed so hard while he just continued on pouting na parang wala ng bukas.

"Hay nako, Kathryn!"

He grunted.

I really love this guy. I smiled to myself as we opened the door.
