Nanlamig ang sikmura ko. I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable. This isn't the first time a guy confessed to me but hearing it from Leonardo Ablaza is different.
Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng tamang sasabihin ko sa oras na ito. Surely, I have turned down several men before, kaya hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ang hirap tumanggi ngayon. No, alam ko sa sarili ko na wala akong feelings sa kaniya. What makes it hard is hin being my dad's doctor and more importantly, Eonji's brother.
Just the thought of Eonji pains me. Ano'ng mararamdaman niya kapag nalaman niya ito? He likes me too; he said he doesn't want to be stuck in a love triangle with his brother but this happened.
"I'm sorry." I said finally. "I think it's fast and you're Eonji's brother. You see, he had confessed his feelings to me before you even did. I'm not quite sure if he's kidding or what but whatever, I still don't want to get myself in a love fucking triangle, okay?"
Ngumisi siya sa akin. "I understand. You're too guilty."
Nanlaki ang mata ko. "What do you mean by that?!"
"Do you, perhaps, build a certain feelings toward my brother?" He provokes.
Umiling ako. "Of course not! I don't like him! He's just so annoying and arrogant! He keeps pestering my everyday living and I just want him gone!" Tuluy tuloy kong sabi. Walang preno.
Leo shook his head in disbelief. "And now you're so defensive." Aniya. "Don't worry, I don't like you romantically."
Napataas ang kilay ko. "Are you saying that now because I bruised your ego?"
"No." Mabilis niyang tugon. "I was trying to confirm something. Do you want me to be very honest and vulgar?"
"Fire away then." Hamon ko.
"Honestly, I'd like to bed you." And in that instant, heat traveled in my veins. "I'm curious and badly need to confirm something."
"Something like..." I trailed off.
Hindi na niya ako nasagot dahil may kung sinong humablot sa akin. Hindi na ako nakapagpaalam kay Dr. Leo. I look up to see Eonji looking angry. Leo stood there, doing nothing while Eonji held me.
"Ano ba! Hoy!" Reklamo ko pero patuloy pa rin siyang naglalakad ng mabilis papunta sa parking.
Eonji grabbed me tightly na feeling ko mahihiwalay ang mga buto ko sa kamay. Hindi siya nagsasalita pero ramdam ko ang galit niya. His lips are formed in a thin line. His eyes were deep and glaring. Kung hindi ko nakilala before si Eonji, I'd probably guess he's a serious type of guy. Yung tipong masungit. But I've known the playful side of him first kaya naninibago ako kapag ganitong seryoso siya.
"This is freakin' kidnapping! You dragged me without ny permission! What the hell is fuckin' wrong with you?!" Naiinis kong reklamo.
He remains driving silently.
"Ano ba! Saan mo ba ako dadalhin?" I tried to ask kahit alam kong hindi niya ko sasagutin.
As expected, I got nothing from him. He drove faster. Pakiramdam ko ay lalayo sa akin ang kaluluwa ko sa bilis niyang magpatakbo.
He's holding the steering wheel very tight that his knuckles turned white. He seems bothered by something. At hindi ko lubos maintindihan kung bakit dinadamay niya ako sa galit at inis niya. Why me?
"Eonji, what the hell is wrong with you? And why can't you fuckin' answer me?! I'm getting really impatient here! Ano ba! Saan mo 'ko dadalhin?! Hoy!"
Napasandal na lamang ako. The silence is annoying me. I want an answer but he's too stubborn to even glance at me.
I'm not usually talkative or noisy but when I'm curious, I can really be a nuisance.
