80:

JIHOON woke up with that good night text from Seungcheol. It instantly made his day. Dati, he would wake up expecting nothing. Not a good night and good morning text from someone nor series of i love you's and cheesy messages. Natuwa man ay medyo natakot rin si Jihoon. Baka kase masanay siya at hanap-hanapin niya.

Pero isi-net aside niya ang mga bagay na hindi dapat pinoproblema o gawing problema. He is happy this morning. Yun lang ang mahalaga. And he wants to be happy for the rest of the day.

Magkikita na ulit sila ni Seungcheol which excites him and makes him happy even more.

Junhui and Soonyoung's birthday celebration is kinda late but still, the squad pushed the celebration. Gusto rin kase nilang magkasama-sama ulit. After all these nerve-wracking song-making, they need to chill out and free their minds from stress.

Jihoon smiled at the mere thought of Seungcheol. Ah, aigoo. He's never been this excited to see Seungcheol. Gusto na niyang mag-10 o'clock nang masundo na siya nito.

Jihoon wore the best outfit he could have. Hindi masyadong pormal. Hindi masyadong casual. Just something that'll fit his figure perfectly. He isn't the type to look at his self on the mirror for a long time but suddenly, he is that type of person. Bakit ang cute ko ngayong araw na 'to?

"I'll be there by 9:50. Are you ready?" Seungcheol from the other line asked.

Jihoon faked a yawn. "I just woke up. Ano bang meron?" Jihoon surpassed the upcoming laughter. Phone on his left ear, still looking at the mirror, he disheveled his hair once again. Di siya matali sa buhok niya. He wants it neat pero muka naman siyang totoy kapag ganon kaayos ang buhok niya.

"What?! Di mo pa ba nababasa ang text ko?" Jihoon failed to suppress his laughter and ended up laughing loudly. "I was just kidding. Nabasa ko. I'm ready. Intayin kita dito ah."

"Wah. Alam mo talaga kung paano pakabahin 'no?"

"I said I was just kidding." The younger chuckled.

"Kinabahan ako kase akala ko di importante mga messages ko sayo. Kase akala ko you're not expecting my messages just like how I always look forward to your messages."

"Yah."

"Akala nga lang."

"I smiled because of your good night text. I am looking forward for your good morning text, but here, I got a call from you. I am so excited to see you. I wanna spend my day with you. Hindi lang ngayon, sa mga susunod pang mga araw. I am always looking forward to do new things with you. Isayaw mo 'ko, kantahan mo 'ko, personal man o through call hanggang sa makatulog ako. I want you to compliment me even with my ugliest look and outfit. I want you tell me I'm cute when I'm being a sulking seaweed. I'm always waiting for your I love yous kase kahit ayaw ko masanay, nasanay pa rin ako. Now tell me, hindi pa ba ako expectant nito?"

That made Seungcheol speechless. Habang si Jihoon naman ay hiningal sa mga sinabi niya. Wala nang mapaglagyan ang pula sa muka niya ngayon. He's glad Seungcheol can't see it. Para siyang sasabog sa mga sinabi niya.

Ayaw niya lang na nag-iisip si Seungcheol ng ganon. Pakiramdam niya, kulang na kulang ang ipinaparamdam niyang pagmamahal kay Seungcheol. Okay, fine, he's making his best to make Seungcheol feel all of his love. Kahit hindi siya sa sanay sa ganon. Hindi siya vocal. Hindi rin siya showy. Kaya nahihirapan siyang iexpress ang nararamdaman niya.

"I am even assuming you'll kiss me kapag tinititigan mo 'ko." Jihoon added up. Hiyang-hiya na siya pero ito ang una niyang step para maiexpress ang nararamdaman niya. Maging honest.

"H-Hold up... hold up. Teka lang muna. H-Hindi ko kinakaya." Seungcheol trailed off. He fished for something to say, makabuluhan, may sense, yung sagot na hindi masasayang ang mga sinabi ni Jihoon pero yun lang ang nakayanan niya. That was too much to handle. Jihoon just confessed. Sinabi niya ang mga bagay na nasa utak niya. Which is quite new for Seungcheol kase alam niyang hindi ganon ka-vocal si Jihoon.

"Do you know how red I am right now? Wow. Thank you for triggering the unsaid thoughts inside my head."

"Jihoon, kahit hindi kita tinititigan, I still want to kiss you."

"S-Shut up."

"And you know what? I'm squealing with a mere good morning and good night text from you." It was Jihoon's turn to fish for something to answer. "I've always wanted to spend my everyday with you. I've always wanted to see you wearing my clothes. Be it a shirt, underwear, pants or whatever."

"Underwear--"

"You are so cute you know?"

A smile crept into Jihoon's lips.

"You are so precious to me, Lee Jihoon."

"And so you are."
