ALWAYS BEEN YOUR GIRL

ENTRY (7)

"Whatever. It doesn't matter now. Ang dapat nating problemahin ay ang pagsali ni Tzuyu sa We Got Married."

"Huh? Don't you think that this is a wise move para sa career ni Tzuyu Jeongyeon Unnie?" Dahyun asked.

"Sa career oo, pero sa puso hindi." Jeongyeon stated. Tumango-tango naman ang twice at napaisip sa kaniyang point. Tzuyu blushed at Jeongyeon's statement.

"Oo nga no? Paano kung mas ma inlove si Tzuyu sa kaniya at hindi na ito maka move on." Sana exaggeratedly said.

Dahil dito ay mas lalong napamulahan ng pisnge si Tzuyu kaya nagsalita na ito.

"Ah.. unnie I'm still here. Hello." Tzuyu waved her hands at their faces.  Nagpatuloy naman sa pagdiskusyon ang kaniyang mga Unnie na para bang walang narinig.

Medyo natawa si Tzuyu dahil napakaseryoso ng kanilang mga mukha habang pinag uusapan ang kaniyang pagsali sa WGM. She was touched at their genuine concern for her.

Pagkatapos nila sa kanilang 'meeting' ay napagdesisyunan nila na maganda na rin na sasali si Tzuyu sa WGM upang maranasan niya ring makihalubilo na wala ang kaniyang mga Unnie.

"Basta Tzuyu kung may kailangan ka kahit advise pa iyan o ano ay nandito lang kami ha." saad ni Jeongyeon sabay yakap kay Tzuyu, hindi nagtagal ay naging group hug na ito.

The next morning, Tzuyu was woken up by their manager stating that today is her schedule to meet Jungkook.

"Ano?! Bakit hindi ako sinabihan kahapon?" saad ng natatarantang si Tzuyu.

"Last minute schedule mo kasi eto eh. Hindi rin ako na informed kahapon. Buti na lang at clear ang schedule mo ngayon." their manager explained.

Caught off guard by the sudden meeting hindi alam ni Tzuyu kung papaano haharapin ang lalaking matagal na niyang kinahuhumalingan.

It was like a dream come true but at the same time a nightmare that's full of possible negative outcomes.

'Paano na iyan? Hindi ako nakapaghanda ng sasabihin' she thought.

Napansin ng kaniyang mga Unnie ang pagkataranta nito kaya lumapit sila kay Tzuyu at inakbayan ang dalaga.

"Chill ka lang. Just act normal pag nagkita na kayo."

"Oo nga Tzuyu. Oh kung gusto mo sasama nalang kami sa'yo para may back up ka." suhestiyon ni Sana.

Tzuyu smiled at them gratefully.  "Thank you mga Unnies pero I think I need to do this alone." Tzuyu stated still unsure.

Tumango lamang ang kaniyang mga unnie.

"Okay. If that's what you want. Basta when you need help just call us." saad ni Jeongyeon. Tumango lang ang dalaga.

The meeting place was in a high end restaurant. The ambiance was nice and romantic.

Late na nang dumating si Tzuyu kaya dali-dali siyang pumasok pagdating niya sa lugar. There he found Jungkook sitting in a table.. with his manager?

'Akala ko ba kami lang dalawa?' Tzuyu muttered to herself.

She approached the table, a shy smile adorning her pretty face. Nang makita ng manager ni Jungkook si Tzuyu tumayo agad ito at nag greet. Tzuyu greeted back but her eyes were glued to Jungkook who didn't even glance her way. Kaya napagdesisyunan niyang umupo sa harap ng binata.

As if he could sense her gaze, Jungkook slowly looked up, their eyes locking across the table. At this, Tzuyu looked away with a slight blush on her cheeks.

The romantic ambiance was now replaced by an awkward one. Tumikhim ang manager  nang hindi na niya makayanan ang awkward silence na namumuo sa kanilang mesa.

"Tzuyu nasaan nga pala ang manager mo?" Tanong nito. Tzuyu didn't know what to say. Hindi sumama ang kaniyang manager kaya akala niya sila lang dalawa ni Jungkook ang magmemeet. But apparently she was wrong.

"May urgent po siyang pinuntahan kaya hindi siya makakarating." she answered. Tumango lang ang manager ni Jungkook. Meanwhile, the guy was still busy on his phone. Tzuyu summoned all her courage and tried to get Jungkook’s attention.

"Hi!" she cheerfully said to Jungkook ngunit saglit na tumingin lamang ang binata at isang tipid na ngiti ang isinukli nito. Tzuyu's smile faltered. She doesn't know what to do next. Thankfully, Jungkook’s manager spoke first before she could think of anything else to say.

"So we are here to discuss about your upcoming project. This project is a big risk but it will surely boost both groups popularity. Not that the two groups aren't popular enough." saad nito.

Tzuyu listened intently to what the manager was saying until Jungkook scoffed loudly. This got Tzuyu's attention, as well as his manager.
As if knowing what Jungkook’s about to do, his manager shot him a warning glare but it was only met by a sarcastic smirk.

"Manager-nim please don't kid yourselves. This project isn't about the popularity or promotion of both groups." Panimula nito.

"Jungkook." his manager said in a warning tone. Ngunit hindi nagpatinag si Jungkook at nagpatuloy lamang sa pagsasalita.

"This is all about my dating  scandal isn't it? and how you want to avoid the consequences of this thing you call scandal by adding an innocent woman to the equation and for what? to restore my reputation?" he said with anger lacing in his tone.

Tzuyu was put in an uncomfortable situation. She squirmed in discomfort. Dahil dito ay nakuha ng dalaga ang atensiyon ni Jungkook. He turned to her.

"For what it's worth, you should know na kung makakasama mo ako sa project na ito, it will do you more harm than good. So I'm giving you the chance to back out on this project Ms. Chou Tzuyu." he said locking eyes with her. The way he looked at her was so intense that Tzuyu stuttered in response.

" ah..ehhh" Tzuyu looked at his manager as if asking for help. She definitely needed saving from his gaze that was so intense it made her feel hot and bothered.

"Stop it Jungkook!" sigaw nito. Dahil dito ay bumalik ang atensiyon ng binata sa kaniyang manager. Not to mention some of the costumers were also looking at them. Realizing the situation they were in, his manager tried to calm Jungkook down who was now standing and ready to leave.

"Jungkook sit down. Let's talk this out in a calm manner." his manager stated. But to his manager's horror Jungkook only shook his head then glanced at Tzuyu before he left them.

Tzuyu was still processing what happened. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang dapat niyang maramdaman dito. She knows it was nothing personal. But still, it felt like she was rejected by him. Again.

I’ve been running around without a break

I’m in a hurry

I don’t want to look weak

All I have in my eyes is tears and It’s hidden deep inside
