Two days had passed. Jihoon's weekend was wonderful. All he did after finishing all his homeworks is sleep. Something he longed to have.
Dalawang araw ang lumipas ng wala man lang balita kay Seungcheol. Not that he miss him. It's just weird. He's messenger has been empty for two days. Si Seungcheol lang naman kasi ang nagtyatyagang ichat siya. It's not that he like it. Hindi niya lang talaga mapigilang maisip na baka...baka galit si Seungcheol sa kanya.
But why would Seungcheol be mad with him? It's not like he did something bad in fact he just saved him again. For the second time.
But does Seungcheol need saving?
What if Seungcheol isn't really a damsel in distress? That what Seungcheol really want is to rest.
Pero hindi niya rin kayang hayaan si Seungcheol na sayangin ang buhay niya.
Ang mas lalong bumabagabag kay Jihoon ay ang dahilan ni Seungcheol. Why? What is his reason for taking his own life?
Seungcheol is known for being funny, friendly and playful. He's the person who loves to have fun. Lagi lang itong nakangiti. He doesn't look problematic so why would he do that?
Well, Jihoon doesn't really know him– but what about his friends? Ang sabi ni Chan hindi nagsasabi si Seungcheol sa kanila.
Ano kaya ang tinatago nito?
What's your secret Choi Seungcheol?
"Lee Jihoon."
Agad siyang napalingon sa tumawag sa kanya. Nakalimutan niyang nagpapraktis pala sila. Jihoon, aside from being a scholar who is obsessed with high grades is also a member of vocalords. A club for singers in their uni.
"Sorry sir."
"Mukhang hindi ata maayos ang pakiramdam mo, i suggest you take a rest. You may leave Jihoon. Bukas ka nalang mag practice."
He can't focus anyway so he decided to accept the offer. Kahapon pa siya binabagabag ni Seungcheol and it's really irritating. Hindi siya makapagfocus sa ginagawa niya. He can't even write a new song nor sing properly.
He needs a quite place where he can clear his mind. The garden in the university would be the perfect place. Wala masyadong estudyante ang pumupunta ron. Malayo rin kasi ito.
It is the perfect place. Aside from being quite, the place is also relaxing because of all the flowers that surrounds the area. Hindi rin mainit dahil sa mga naglalakihang puno.
Jihoon went to sit on the bench and tried to read his book ng mapansin niyang may...umiiyak? He isn't sure but it sounds like someone is crying.
Dahan dahan niyang nilapitan ang isang puno. Parang doon nanggaling ang iyak.
Well he's right. Doon nga nanggaling ang iyak. There he saw, a man crying.
That man is Seungcheol.
He doesn't know why he's crying nor does he care. Slowly, sinubukan niyang umalis. He doesn't want to disturb Seungcheol but unfortunately, napansin siya nito.
Agad itong tumayo habang pinapahid ang mga luha. Seungcheol tried to hide his tears.
"Ah, sorry aalis na ako. Bye."
"Wait Seungcheol!"
"Bakit?"
"Well, lunch na rin naman... gusto mo ba ako samahan? Masarap daw ang pagkain doon sa bagong bukas na karinderya sa tapat ng uni."
Jihoon want to punch his self right now.
Habang si Seungcheol ay hindi makapaniwala. Jihoon invited him to lunch. Is he dreaming? Wow.
"....sure."
If he is, then this would be Seungcheol's favorite dream.
