The Hallyu Brothers Book 3: Ryeowook (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 2

NATHAN KIM's POV

I was reading some reports while listening to music when my door suddenly opened.

It was Kuya Casey.

Napakunot noo ako nang makita syang tulalang naglalakad. Napatayo ako at agad na nilapitan sya. Inalalayan ko syang makaupo.

"What happened, Kuya?" I asked worriedly.

"My pimples." He pointed out his forehead.

I blinked many times.

Did I hear it right? Pimples, seriously?

"What should I do? Every time I wake up in the morning, dumadami sila. Feeling ko, nag-se-sex sila kapag tulog ako. I have a photo shoot tomorrow! Ngayon pa nila binalak na maghasik ng lagim." Napa-praning nyang sabi.

Kinurot ko siya sa tagiliran.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Daing nya.

Naglakad ako pabalik sa swivel chair at naupo.

"Sleep early. Para hindi ka tinitigyawat. Dinadamay mo pa ako sa problema mo."

Kinuha kong muli ang binabasang reports kanina. Ngunit bumalik ang tingin ko sa kanya ng may ma-realize.

Very rare na magkaroon ng pimples si Kuya Casey. Depende na lang kung may iniisip itong problema na dahilan kung bakit hindi sya makatulog sa gabi ng maayos.

"Care to tell me, Kuya? Do you have a problem? Is it about your branch? I know you very well. Sumusulpot lang ang pimples mo kapag may problema ka."

He looked down. "No. It's about her."

Napakunot noo ako.

"I bumped into her three days ago outside your coffeeshop. Remember the girl na naikwento ko sayo na sobrang nag-aalala ako dahil nasaktan ko sya physically when I was in a mall?"

I nodded.

"We already have a deal that nobody should know our secret but she betrayed me at nahuli ko syang may kahalikan. Kaya hindi ko maisip kung bakit nya iyon ginawa sa akin. I don't have any intention to hurt her. Nadala lang ako ng emosyon ko kaya nagawa ko iyon." Inis na napahilamos sya sa mukha at napadaing nang matamaan ang pimples nya.

I don't know her name at hindi ko pa nakikita ang girl na tinutukoy nya. Hinayaan ko lang si Kuya Casey na magkwento that day dahil sa sobrang kalasingan. Maybe because of Kuya Casey's emotion kaya nasampal nya ang babae in public and that was a year ago.

Maling sinasaktan ang babae, physically. I told him that he shouldn't slap that girl kahit anong reason pa and he felt sorry for what he did.

"Talk to her. Dagdagan mo na rin ng effort. Maybe that way, mapatawad ka nya. That's the best thing to do. Pinahiya mo sya in public lalo na at babae sya. Siguradong galit din sya sayo for slapping her."

He took a deep breath.

"Yeah."

Napailing ako sa sagot nya.

"Anyway, bukas na pala ang birthday ni Spencer. What should we do?" Kuya Casey asked.

"Maybe throw a monkey party?" Kibit balikat kong sabi.

ZYNA YLAINE ANDRADE's POV

I was about to enter my bedroom when my phone rang.

It's an unknown number.

Sinagot ko ang tawag kahit hindi ko kilala kung sino ito.

"Hello?" I asked.

"It's me. Can I talk to you?"
