(37) Press conference

dedicated to BAEKPADD sorry kung pinaghintay kita. Huhu.

-----

He woke up the next morning feeling more grim than he was last night. Naka-tux parin sya. His hair is a mess at sobrang paga ng maliliit nyang mata. He had this dark ugly circles under his eyes. One word to describe him—shit.

Bumangon sya kahit sobrang sakit ng ulo. Hindi nya na maalala kung anong oras sya nakatulog kagabi at isa lang ang sigurado, his sleep was not enough. Tumayo sya at hinubad ang coat at nag-bihis ng mas kumportableng damit bago lumabas, pero hindi nya inaasahan kung anong bubungad sakanya pag-labas ng kwarto.

Chanyeol is sitting in front of his door, his head leaning on the door frame. Tulog ito and compared to him, Chanyeol looked more like shit. May tear stain pa ito sa muka.

He didn't bother waking up Chanyeol. Pinauwi nya na to kagabi. There's no fucking reason for Chanyeol to be here. Siguro kailangan nya nang tumigil, he had enough of Kyungsoo. Ayaw nya nang makipagsabayan sa lalaki, pagod na sya. Pagod na syang ipaglaban kung ano pang natitira sakanila ni Chanyeol.

Nilagpasan nya ang lalaki at nag-tuloy sa kusina. He toast a bread and started making coffee. Daig nya pa ang may hangover sa sobrang sakit ng ulo nya. He wanted to cry but no tears are coming out. Pagod na rin siguro ang mata nya kakaiyak, finally.

May nag-door bell. Pilit nya mang wag pansinin yon, mas dumadagdag lang ang tunog sa sakit ng ulo nya kaya binuksan nya na. Minseok greets him a cheery good morning and he answered him with a not-so-good good morning in return.

"Ang..." Tinitigan sya ni Minseok, "...ang panget mo."

He won't argue with that. Aminado sya sa itsura nya, kahit sya nairita ng makita ang sarili sa salamin, but fuck it, he's not in front of the camera anyway.

Pumasok si Minseok sa loob at napairap sya ng makita nito si Chanyeol. Nilapitan iyon ni Minseok at ginising. Fine. Whatever, he should have stop Minseok but looking at Chanyeol crouching like that in front of his room's door tugs something inside him... naiirita sya.

Agad syang umalis doon at nag-punta sa banyo, forgetting all about his toast. Gusto nyang mag-tago. Ayaw nyang makita sya ni Chanyeol. Not now. Not like this. Not when the mere presence of the guy made him so vulnerable.

Kinatok sya ni Minseok sa loob and he suddenly wanted to curse his hyung for doing so. "Baek, di ka pa ba tapos?"

He wiped his tears before going out. Sobrang obvious ng itsura nya pag-labas and his eyes immediately locked on Chanyeol. Tumingin din ito sakanya kaya agad syang nag-iwas. Hindi naman siguro ganon katanga si Minseok para hindi maintindihan ang nangyayari. Saglit na nagpabalik balik ang tingin nito sakanilang dalawa bago nag-taas ng dalawang kamay like surrendering at aalis na sana.

Pero agad nyang hinawakan sa braso si Minseok para patigilin. No. He won't be alone with the guy. He doesn't want to be alone with him.

"Baek."

Tumingin sya kay Minseok, his eyes pleading for his manager not to go. Nakita nyang lalapit si Chanyeol kaya agad syang lumayo.

"H-hyung... Anong schedule ko ngayon, I should probably prepare early..."

"Ah! Oo nga, tuloy yung presscon ng movie Baek." Nanlaki ang mata nya. Shit! Ngayon pa.

"P-pero"

"Saya diba?" Lumingon ito kay Chanyeol, "Kaya Yeol, umuwi ka na at mag-ayos, 10am ang call time, may 3 hours ka pa para mag-mukang tao."

Chanyeol glanced at him pero pumasok na agad sya sa loob ng kwarto. Narinig nya pa ang pag-tunog ng pinto ng unit nya bago sya sinundan ni Minseok sa loob ng kwarto. "Baek, is everything alright?"
