SEUNGCHEOLdidn't expect Jeonghan to invite Jihoon to come with them.
Kaya gan'on na lang ang bigla ni Seungcheol nang makarating siya sa floor ng kanilang mga apartment at bumungad sa kanya ang dalawa. Jihoon was staring at him from his doorway while Jeonghan was in front of them. They were clearly indulged into a conversation before Seungcheol appeared but stopped when they saw him.
Lumunok si Seungcheol nang makitang magkasama ang dalawa. Pakiramdam niya para siyang nahuli sa akto. He wasn't sure why he was feeling that way exactly. Sasamahan lang naman niya si Jeonghan mamaya para mag-grocery nang . . . hindi alam ni Jihoon.
Oh right. Hindi nga pala alam ni Jihoon.
Uh-oh. That's why.
Jihoon is supposed to be his boyfriend. He's supposed to know everything.
"Oh ayan na pala siya e. Hi Cheollie!" masayang bati ni Jeonghan sa kanya nang nakangiti.
"Hi, Han."
Lumingon siya kay Jihoon tsaka sinubukang ngumiti ng konti. Jihoon didn't smile back but his expression evidently lightened up a little when he saw Seungcheol. "Hey."
"Nakauwi ka na pala," Seungcheol managed to say when he halted right next to Jihoon.
It sounded domestic as . . . fudge. But it was already too late to take it back. Wala kasi siyang ibang alam sabihin. That sounded like an appropriate question to ask. Pero nagmumukha lang silang mag-asawa sa tanong niya. Kulang na lang ng mga cheesy'ng tawagan na "dear" o "mahal".
Ew.
"Nakauwi ka na pala dear?"
"Oo mahal, hinihintay lang kita. Hihihihi."
They already had too many nicknames for each other. Far too many for two people who weren't even that close or anythingto begin with. They were just . . . Jihoon and Seungcheol. A blackmailer and a blackmail—blackmailee who were just that. Hindi sila magkaibigan pero mas marami pa ang tawag nila sa isa't-isa kaysa sa dalawang magkababata.
That was exaggerating. They don't have that many nicknames. Just some: pandak ko, supot ko, Supotcheol, Capt. Cheol (Jihoon called him that once), Pink Fairy (more of a compliment, Jihoon pointed out cheekily), my secret (ew), my love (blaughk), my song (seriously Jihoon). Most of these nicknames came from Jihoon though, in his complete defense.Seungcheol wished Jihoon could stop it with the nicknames.
Kaya hindi masyadong excited si Seungcheol idagdag ang "dear" at "mahal" sa listahan ng mga tawagan nila e. Nope, thank you.
