I.
NAKAUPO si Jihoon sa gilid ng kanyang higaan nang madatnan siya ni Seungcheol, suot ang kanyang panlabas na damit at jacket nito. Seungcheol smiled when he saw him wearing his jacket, nodded at him as he leaned against the door jamb.
"Nasa'yo pa pala 'yan?"
Jihoon shrugged, pinching the soft material between his small fingers. "Sorry for stealing it."
"You don't sound sorry at all."
Ngumisi lang ito sa kanya. Inilahad ni Seungcheol ang kanyang mga braso. "Payback. I want cuddles in return."
"Mmm. Sa katunayan niyan, may iba akong naisip."
"Hmm?"
"Remember The Jet?"
II.
SEUNGCHEOL definitely remembered The Jet. This was his place. Eto ang lugar kung saan siya pumupunta. Being back here takes him also way back the times he had enjoyed the comforting darkness alone. Sumalubong sa kanya ang pamilyar na malamig na simoy ng hangin at tahimik na kapaligiran. It was still poor-lit as it always was, extra dim now since some of the lights were put off throughout the five-storey building. Wala pa ring nagbabantay sa abandonadong lugar kaya malaya silang nakapasok ni Jihoon sa gusali. Using the flashlights of their phones as they silently maneuvered the place. As he ascended the dark stairs behind Jihoon following him walking along the abandoned halls, he started to wonder how the hell did he know about the place. Hindi rin naman kasi ito ang tambayan ng bayan. And also, they kinda are trespassing here since it's not theirs.
It's abandoned though. And no one's around.
Naiintindihan na ni Seungcheol kung bakit sila tumakas dalawa. Ayaw kasing sabihin ng nakababata kanina kahit anong gawin niyang pangungulit. They're going here, so it's natural Jihoon doesn't want anyone to know about this.
"Jihoon?
"Mm?" tanong nito sa kanya.
"You know this place?"
"Hmm, mmm? I saw you go here," Nilingon siya ni Jihoon. "Pagkatapos ng marami sa mga laro mo. Then I notice you always, always go here. Everytime. You guys lose."
