"Hey. Are you okay?" Lena said.
Nabalik ako sa wisyo nang magsalita sya. It's saturday evening. And we decided to eat near yeocheon.
Kakatapos lang ng training so we decided to take a rest. You know, peace of mind. After ng training, me and lena always decided to go out. Kung hindi kakain, magshoshopping ng sunday. Hahaha girl problems.
Well, we took train dahil wala naman na kaming ibang masasakyan to go there. We texted jehrin na pumunta na lang din dun if she wants.
My phone vibrated.
From: jehrin
Okay then. Wait me there, chungka park. :)
This is what i like in korea, kahit lumabas ka ng gabi, safe ka pa din. Even umuwi ka ng madaling araw.
Naglakad lakad muna kami ni lena sa midnight shopping center near chungka park. Mabagal naman kumilos si jehrin e. So we assume na makakarating sya dito after 9. It's 8pm by the way.
Anyway, habang nagtitingin si lena ng mga pwedeng bilhin. i decided to check my message box. Hindi ko pa sya kasi naoopen simula kanina.
I received a lot of messages from my parents, relatives and friends. Yung iba sa mga classmate namin.
I read it all.
And one message got my attention.
From: +00466******
Hey. This is ji soo, just want to thank you for the reminder. Leekun told me that you made that stone. Thankyou again :)
I smiled.
Weeks passed since the incident about my project at magsorry sya about his attitude. After that day, medyo nakakausap ko na sya. Even he still, mataray and tahimik atleast, nagsasalita na sya. 😂 and i know, ji soo is kind pero he didn't know how to communicate with others. He didn't know how to show others whats on his mind. He didn't know how to show his appreciation to everyone. Because he is scared. Scared about what people think about him. Ang weird lang kasi, lagi syang nasa tv and he looks so happy and talkative pero sa personal, para syang lalaking weird na tahimik.
I once talked to him about it. Medyo close na kami e 😂 Pero hindi sya sa sumasagot. But i know, he wants to tell something that he never tell to everyone. Hinayaan ko na lang sya. Ayoko naman syang pilitin about it.
Hindi ako psychotic para malaman ko yung iniisip nya no. Makikita mo naman sa behavior, attitude at kilos nya yun e.
Anyway, last monday kasi, he told us na mag eexcuse sya for afternoon class because of the interview. He looked so nervous that time. Hindi pa mapakali sa upuan. That time, i asked my self. "Lalaki ba talaga to?" Daig nya pa babae kung kabahan.
Then idea came to my mind. Lumabas ako ng room to find a "buhay na bato" :D it's a smooth stone. After that i wrote a note "just be yourself. Show your true you :)". Nilagay ko to sa bag nya when he is in the rest room. I always do it to all of my friends when i saw them nervous and frustrated.
Since monday, hindi pa kami nakakapag usap kasi after school diretso training na din kami.
Siguro ngayon nya pa lang nalaman kung kanino galing yung stone na yun.
So yun nga, i decided to reply him.
To: ji-soo
You don't need to thank me. But you're welcome :)
"Hey. Wala ka bang bibilhin?" Lena asked.
"Ah. Walaaa" i smiled.
She looked at me like "are you crazy?" Hahaha nashock siguro sya na wala akong binili ngayon. Everytime that we go here, ako ang mas maraming binibili kesa sa kanya.
Hinayaan nya na lang ako at nagpatuloy sa pagtitingin, ganuj na din ang ginawa ko.
After an hour, dumating na din si jehrin and We went to bulgogi house. Lena ordered our favorite meal. While me and jehrin sat in our favorite table. Ganda kasi ng ambiance e. When we ate in all restaurant we always look for a nice ambiance para mas ganahan sa pagkain. Hindi naman sa maarte pero mas masarap kumain kapag komportable ka sa place at sa nakikita mo.
"Nayeon." jehrin called me
"Ne?" I asked.
"Do you and ji soo have a relationship?" She asked.
"Mwooo?" I asked in shock. Like serioursly? Di ko alam kung magugulat o matatawa ako. 😂
Natawa sya sa reaction ko. "Hahaha. I know you guys are just friends. But people around us always asked me about you and jisoo."
Natatawa ako. So that's what people think about us? Seriously? Hindi pa nga kami ganung nagkakausap e. We didn't even go together.
"Hahahaha" di ko na mapigilan matawa. Mga babae nga naman oh. "Magkausap at magpansinan lang, issue na?" I asked jehrin.
She just laughed and lena sat with our order.
"Oh? Why are you laughing?" She asked. And jehrin told what happened.
Lena also laughed. "Hahaha. Mga tao nga naman. Don't mind them. Hindi mo naman sila masisisi, ji soo never talked to other people except his friends,and us. Mas close nga lang kayo, kesa samin." She said.
"Close na yun?" I asked in confusion. Binigyan lang ng bato close na? Haha
"As i said, kesa samin. Duh? Siguro isa o dalawang beses ko lang makausap yun twice a day." She laughed.
Hahaha she's right. Kung tutuusin, saming tatlo mas nakakausap ko sya. Wala lang naman sakin yun e. Coz' i know he wants a friend. He even said sorry about his attitude. So ako na yung nag aaproach sa kanya kahit sungitan nya ko.
One time nga, magkakasama kami nila leekun. Sila pa lang kasi close namin e. Favor sa dalawa yon kesa makasama daw ang mga babaeng plastic. Ako, okay lang sakin. Lahat naman sinasamahan ko. Wala naman silang masasabing masama sa akin. Subukan lang nila! Hahaha.
"Let's stop talk about him baka nabibilaukan na yung tao." I said.
Nagtawanan lang kami at pinagkwentuhan yung mga nangyari samin this passed weeks.
After that, we decided na umuwi na. Sumabay na kami kay jehrin. Rich kid e. Di-kotse. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit ayaw mag audition nito. May talent naman 😂
Pagdating ng dorm pumunta agad ako sa room ko para nagpahinga.
I jumped to my bed. When my phone vibratred.
From: Ji soo
Can i call you?
Ano problema nito?
