/ Chapter 25 /

Jenesis Hyun Woo.

I WAS LITERALLY JOKING!

Pinipilit ko tawa ko dahil sa itsura ni Valerie ngayon. She looked very surprise!

"A-" magsasalita sana siya pero, inunahan ko na siya.

"I was joking" I gave her a small smile, like that's the most impossible thing that could happen "Okay, it's real this time" i said and she gave me a serious look like she's really listening.

But seconds later her expression changed, She looks sad now, why though?
(Better luck next time Jason -Valerie)

"You know, i heard that when you joke on someone it might happen" pagloloko ni Valerie.

"Ha!" I burst out like that's really impossible to happen "It won't! don't worry" i gave her a reassuring smile.

"So... It's a question this time" i took a deep breath, Not ready to take her answer for this question, I'm about to ask.

...

"Do you like Sean?" I asked holding her hands.

She was silent for a second then... Her expression changed fast.

"Ha! Ah- hindi- o-" she was blushing and panicking at the same time.

Reaction palang niya, nahahalata kona.

Namumula siya... Nagwawala... Hindi alam sasabihin... Kinikilig.

"So you do" i tried my best to smile.

I have to do something about this.

"Valerie, as i said i hope our friendship won't ruin this... But i just thought of confessing my feeling to Sean today" I told her while having small smiles plastered at my face.

I gathered all my power para lang sa decision nato.

I looked at her, She was silent while her head is down.

"You don't need to worry" i hold her hand tighter  "I'm positive that I'll get rejected"

...

I can already tell, you both are so easy to read.

Especially on the eyes, I can see you both falling for each other as days past.

Everytime you guys talk...  And me... just staring, It was like you both are in your own world.

I admit, i get jealous and i envy Valerie very much. But that won't get me anywhere.

I don't know why... But today i feel so confident today.

Since i arrived from work, I feel like i'm gonna be  okay if ever i get rejected.

Why, Change. My dear Feelings?

"I just want to release this feelings for him" pag-aamin ko kay Valerie.

"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner, and don't feel down he might... Like you and..." Valerie said holding my hands tight " I want to know you more too" she smiled changing the subject.

"... Im glad" we hugged.

"You can do it" she cheered.

Aysh, Valerie you're so cute.

...

"Sean!" I saw him.

Kakalabas niya lang sa office ng Mom niya.

"Jenesis?" Pagtataka ni sean.

"What are you-"

Sean Nate Donnellan.

Oh shit!

Why is she crying?

"Ah what's wrong? Nadapa kaba? Naano ka? A-"

"I lo-... I like you sean" she said while she started wiping her tears away.

G-Gago?

I---

"I like you too" i smiled... I never knew she would like me as a friend, im so happy!

"Huh? Wha!? I mean i like like you..."she said.

"Huh?" w-wait!?

THIS IS DIFFERENT?

"Parang crush yun diba?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

...

"HAAAAH" (don't tell me magkapareho kayo ni valerie na hindi alam to -isip ni jenesis) "uh... oo ata" pagtataka na sabi ni jenesis.

"Oh" Napakamot ako sa ulo ko, Seryoso? "Hindi as a friend?" Tanong ko.

"Are you serious?!" She cried again "i like you! I love you!" her face suddenly looks relieved, like she finally lets go of something that she's been carrying along.

"Please don't cry" i said while i hold her hand to calm her.

"No; it's ok... I don't need your answer" she said.

"R-really?" I asked worriedly.

"It's easy... It's Valerie... Diba?" Tanong niya at pilit na ngumiti.

I- i can't deny anymore, Something's pushing me to say fucking yes!

"Yeah" i don't know why but... I felt happy admitting it.

"Well, Take care of her" she smiled and waved her hands "Bye" Tumalikod na siya at naglakad paalis.

"TAKE CARE! IM SORRY!" Sigaw ko sakaniya, Kinaway niya naman kamay niya sa ere.

Jenesis Hyun Woo.

I rushed my way down, and ran to Valerie.

She knew... I was looking for a hug.

She was widening her hands, I was running for it.

"I'm really glad i got to be your friend" bulong ko ng nakarating nako sakaniya at hinug siya ng mahigpit.

"Shh, Great job gorl!" she said slowly patting my head.

"See you tomorrow" sabi ko at bumitaw na sa mga yakap niya. Nginitian niya ako at kumaway nako paalis.

...

I don't want Jet to see me like this, Paglabas ko ng company, I saw someone familiar.

It's Jason was it?

He was on his motorcycle... Texting someone?

I don't know anymore but... I have no choice.

I have no where to go so...

I quickly ran to jason, sumakay ako agad ng walang paalam.

"Favor, Take me out of here" I was out of control, I want to freshen up.

Narinig ko ang pag-aandar niya ng motor "Tahan na, Aalis na kita dito" Jason grabbed both of my hands and pulled me closer so i can hugged him.

"Baka mahulog" I didn't mind, I hugged him tighter as he started driving away.
