142 - Narration

J A E R I N

“Renjun said they’re already on their way here.” Nayeon said while eyeing her phone. Tumango si Chenle na nas tabihan niya.

I’m silently waiting at my chair too. Nakapag-chat na rin naman na ang boyfriend ko sakin na papunta na nga raw sila rito.

I can’t help but to smile at the thought of Jaemin being my boyfriend finally. Napalingon sakin si Nayeon at napairap pa habang may ngisi sa labi niya.

“Hindi ba sumasakit panga mo?” she teased me. Hindi ako nainis at natawa pa ako. Chenle and Jisung turned over to me as well.

Jisung chuckled, “Let her be, Nayeon. Ganyan ka rin nung naging kayo ni Renjun hyung.” Jisung said. I stuck out my tongue at Nayeon and her mouth fell open.

“Oo nga naman, Nayeon.”

“What? No I’m not!” she denied.

I just laughed at her because she looked flustered. Isang hampas ang natamo ni Chenle at humalakhak lang naman si Jisung sa tabihan ko.

Nang magchat na sila Jaemin na nasa labas na sila ng room, tumayo na kami at lumabas. I was feeling very excited. Ewan ko, sabay rin naman kami pumasok at nakita ko siya kanina. Pero kasi this will be the first recess that we’re eating as a couple.

“Hey baby.” nakangiti siya nang makalabas ako. I approached him with a wide smile.

Nakita ko pang saglit akong itinuro ni Nayeon sa boyfriend niya na busy rin sa panonood samin.

“Hi.” I said shortly.

Jaemin’s hand naturally slid over my waist as he pulls me closer to him. He kissed me over my forehead as he leaned a little to whisper something to me.

“Haechan’s very jealous at us.” bulong niya sakin. I laughed and my eyes darted over Haechan’s direction. I saw him watching us with furrowed brows.

“Why?” I felt warm when he ran his hands up and down over my waist.

“Because I have a very beautiful girlfriend.” I blushed as I looked up at him. He smiled and I smiled too not breaking our eye contact.

“That’s it. Let’s go lovebirds.” Haechan oppa interrupted and even wrapped his arms over our shoulders. He’s now between Jaemin and I.

Napailing kami at hinayaan nalang siya na kaladkarin kami sa cafeteria. Eyes were on us. Siguro alam na nila na kami na ni Jaemin. Eyes of some girls were looking at us with envy obviously plastered at their faces.

I bit my lower lip and felt a bit uncomfortable because of their stares. I felt Jaemin wrapped his arms possessively at my waist. Napalingon ako sa kanya at nginitian niya lang ako.

Nang makahanap kami ng table ay agad kami naupo ni Nayeon doon. Jaemin rested one of his hand at the back of my chair before leaning towards me.

“What do you want to eat?” he asked eyes fixed at me.

“Anything is fine.”

He nodded and dropped one kiss at my cheeks and then another swift kiss at my lips. That was so sudden so I got flustered and quickly blushed. I heard some squeals from around us. I blinked twice and Jaemin just stood back up like nothing happened.

“Tara Renjun.” Jaemin said to catch the attention of Renjun oppa who’s busy memorizing the foods Nayeon wants.

Lumingon siya kila Haechan at Jeno na nakaupo. “Kayo ba?”

Haechan smiled sweetly at him.

“Libre mo?”

Jaemin’s eyes squinted.

“Dali na sinagot ka naman na ni Jaerin.” he whined. Jaemin rolled his eyes and the two boys said what they wanted to have.

Renjun and Jaemin left together with Chenle and Jisung. Sila na raw ang bibili. Ngayon, kaming apat nalang nila Nayeon, Jeno oppa and Haechan oppa ang natira.

“When will you tell Jaemin that you’re Jaeminism?” she suddenly asked me. We both whispered to each other to prevent the two boys remaining to hear.

“I don’t know. Diko na rin naman nabubuksan eh. Something weird really happened with that account.” I even shrugged my shoulders when I said those words.

“What? You’re Jaeminism?” sabay pa kami napalingon ni Nayeon nung sinabi ‘yon bigla ni Haechan oppa.

I was stunned and left speechless. Hindi ko alam kung anong irereact ko. Should I deny it? I don’t know.

Nagkatinginan sila ni Jeno oppa bago siya nagsalita ulit.

“But Yuna said she’s Jaeminism.”

This time, I furrowed my brows as I looked over to Nayeon.

“What?”
