Taeyong

"Kanina ka pa?",she asked as she walk down the stairs.

"No,kararating rating ko lang. Sila tita?"

"Duh. As if you don't know where they always are."

Napangiti na lang ako dahil sa sinabi nya. Her mother is at the office while Somi's parents are at their store. They own a big grocery near the hospital outside our subdivision.

"Taeyong parang alam ko kung bakit ka napadpad dito." Tumabi sya sakin at inabot ang isang baso ng iced tea gamit ang kanyang kaliwang kamay habang busy nyang iniinom ang kanya.

I accepted it at uminom muna bago magsalita.

"Don't worry she's not here. Nasa friends nya."

Napayuko ako at bumunting hininga.

"Anong dapat kong gawin?",tanong ko at nanatiling nakayuko.

Ilang araw na akong nag-iisip isip pero hindi ko magawa lahat ng pinaplano ko dahil natatakot ako. Natatakot akong ma-reject because she just got away from a heartache.

"You'll never know unless you try. Wala kang mapapala kung bago ka pa man magtake ng step sumusuko ka na. Come on,TY. Don't be such a coward."

"Seulgi, ayokong masaktan sya."

"Why? Why would she be hurt? Bakit? may plano ka ba!?"

"What? That's not what I mean. There are instances sometimes and I am not a perfect person. I don't even know how I'll act infront of her."

She held to the bridge of his nose at tila nag-iisip.

"You know what? Those are just excuses.",she stood from where she was sitting across of mine at lumipat sa tabi ko saka hinarap ako.

"What is it that you badly want to say to her? Just imagine that I am her."

I did what she told me to do and also faced her.

Huminga ako ng malalim. "I like you.",I mumbled.

"What? Come on TY. I can't hear you."

"I like you.",I said a little louder.

"Why are you still whispering!? Are you ashamed of your feelings!?"

"Darn it! I like you! I said I like you! Is it still not clear that I like you!?"

Parehas kaming napalingon nang may marinig kaming pagbagsak ng pintuan mula sa itaas.

"Shit.",wala sa sariling bulong ni Seulgi at agad na tumayo saka tumakbo paakyat.

Habang ako ay walang lakas na napasandal na lang sa sofa.
