"Good morning, mom." bati ko kay Eomma nang bumaba ako sa salas. She smiled at me then continued what she was doing.
"Oh, aga ah?" tiningnan ko si oppa nang sabihin niya 'yon sa akin.
He's wearing his plain white t-shirt then his jersey shorts. Mukhang ready to go na rin siya. May pa-basketball game kasi ngayon ang Sports club sa school.
I smiled at him, "Maaga game ni Jaemin eh." I answered him.
"Baka naman makalimutan mo game ko mamaya kinaje-jaemin mo ha." sabi pa ni Oppa.
Mom chuckled because of what she heard. Ako din ay napatawa.
"Nako, nagseselos ang oppa." sabi ni Mom.
I chuckled as Oppa rolled his eyes. Gwapo nemern.
"Ay oo nga pala, Mom and oppa. Bae Jinyoung's back in the country." I said smiling.
Si Mom ay nagulat habang si oppa ay nanatiling naka-focus sa phone niya. Wala man lang reaksyon.
"Jinjja? Are they staying here for good?" Mom asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know. Maybe? Because he told me he will be attending the same school." sabi ko sa kanya.
"You two talked?" this time si Oppa na ang umimik. Oh akala ko hindi siya nakikinig?
"Uh yeah? He messaged me on messenger." sabi ko.
Tumango naman siya na parang he doesn't believe me. I pouted and we all looked at the door when somebody buzzed the doorbell.
"That's your suitor, pumpkin." sabi ni Mom.
I looked at oppa, "oppa una na kami ni Jaemin ha? Nood ako game niyo mamaya." at bumeso pa ako kay mom bago lumabas.
Jaehyun oppa won't join us today because he'll gonna pick up Savi and go somewhere.
Paglabas ko ay nakita ko na si Jaemin na nagaabang sa labas ng bahay namin.
"Good morning!" masaya kong bati sa kanya.
He turned to face me.

He then smiled brightly bago niya kinuha yung bag ko sa akin. "Good morning." he said.
We started walking silently as he reached for my hand and intertwined it like the usual.
"Uhh, Jaemin." tawag ko sa atensyon niya.
I glanced at him at saglit din naman siyang tumingin sa akin bago ibinalik ang tingin sa daan.
"Hmm?" he asked softly.
"About Jinyoung..."
"What about him?" he interrupted.
"He's my childhood friend."
"Uh-huh and you're first love.." I heard him whispered something.
"What did you say?"
"I said what do you want to do then?" he asked me.
Hindi eh, parang iba yung narinig ko. Hmm....
"I would like to catch up and all since it's been years since I last saw him." I told him.
Ayaw ko naman kasi magtago sa kanya.
"Hmm, okay." nahimigan ko ang pagkalabas non sa ilong.
I chuckled.
"You can come with me if you want." sabi ko.
He looked at me for a while, "As much as I want to, I can't." i looked at him curiously.
He stopped walking then faced me. Tinitigan niya ako sa mata at nginitian ng kaonti bago niya hinawi ang ilang hibla ng buhok na humaharang sa mukha ko.
"If you want to spend time with him, fine. Because I know he's your childhood friend and I don't really have the right to stop you from doing that." sabi niya.
"So if you have the right, will you stop me?"
"Yeah, because i'm jealous."
I chuckled again, "So straight forward as always, Na Jaemin." sabi ko at sinundan pa to ng tawa.
"Just give me a heads up if you don't want me anymore so it won't hurt too much." at nagsimula na siyang maglakad. I stopped walking kaya nabitawan niya ang kamay ko nang mapalayo siya sakin.
Does he really think I will leave him for Jinyoung? Seeing his back walking away from me hurts me, a lot.
He stopped walking when he realized I wasn't walking behind him. Lumingon siya sakin at nangunot ang kanyang noo.
"Why did you stop?"
"What made you think I'll stop liking you?" I mumbled.
"He's your first love right?"
"Who told you that?"
"Jaehyun hyung." his voice was cold.
Ugh oppa!
Lumakad ako papunta sa harapan niya at hinarap siya. He looked so sad.
I lift up his chin and then let him look into my eyes.
"I'm still young that time. Hindi ko pa alam yung mga first love first love na yan. That was nothing." sabi ko, assuring him that Jinyoung is just a friend.
He sighed then rolled his eyes before opening his arms for a hug. I smiled then hugged him.
