He Submits [BTS Fanfiction] √

Chapter Nineteen

I was wrong when I said that the worst was just about to come 'cause it wasn't the worst… the worst was what was coming my way now.

Ang pinakahuling gusto kong mangyari sa araw na ito ay ang makaharap pa si Jimin dahil hindi maganda ang loob ko sa ginawa niya kanina. If it wasn't because of him then I wouldn't have to deal with that loathsome bastard and with that annoying jerk.

There would be no lousy encounter with Cael Severino and an unexpected confession from Jungkook Jeon.

And above all, he ditched me for Cielo Severino! He ditched me for that two-faced bitch when he could have texted me or at least have let me know that he couldn't take me home! What was so hard about it?!

Dati naman ay hindi niya nakakalimutang sabihan ako, mag-e-effort pa siyang tawagan ako o pilitin akong sumabay na lang sa kaniya kaysa ang makasama niya ang dini-date niya. And no, I was pissed so I didn't want to see his face!

I tried so hard to keep a hard and stone face when he was just about ten meters away from me. Pinigilan ko ang mapakunot-noo nang mapansing suot pa rin niya ang uniform niya ngunit nawawala na ang pulang blazer niya maging ang necktie niya. Katulad ng nakasanayan, magulo ang buhok at tumitingkad ang mapulang mga labi kahit madilim na ang paligid.

And he didn't look pleased too. And who freaking cared?! I was pissed! And I might just claw his handsome face if he would dare get near me!

"East—"

Bago pa man siya tuluyang makarating sa mismong harap ko ay marahas na pumihit na ako paharap sa bahay at mabilis na nagmartsa papasok. Nagmadali ako dahil ayaw kong maabutan niya ako. Surely our maids would gladly entertain him if I didn't and surely, my sister would be very nice to keep him company until he decided to go home 'cause I was not in the best of mood to talk to him, see him the most!

Hindi ko pinansin ang mga maids na nakasalubong ko kahit na ramdam ko rin ang pagsunod ni Jimin sa akin at kung paanong lumampas sa likod ko ang mga nagtatakang mata ng bawat maids na nalalampasan ko.

I hoped Daddy was in the study room 'cause I wouldn't want to deal with him too.

"East, wait! East—"

"Jimin, hijo…"

Hindi lang ako ang natigilan sa dulo ng hagdan nang marinig ko ang boses na iyon ni Daddy. I didn't know but I quickly thought how he was talking softly and very openly to Jungkook when I was reminded how he was never like that to Jimin. Casual lang siya sa best friend ko kahit noon pa.

They would talk but not like how Daddy was being overly interested with Jungkook earlier.

Mabilis akong lumingon ngunit agad din naman akong napa-atras nang makitang nasa likod ko na si Jimin, ang isang kamay ay naka-angat at tipong nahinto sa pag-abot sa akin habang nakatitig siya sa direksyon ng living room. His sweet and minty scent immediately soothing my nose and I could have thrown myself onto him and tightly held onto him only if I didn't see my father sitting casually on the couch at the living room.

Sa pabilog na coffee table sa harap niya ay may bukas na laptop, ilang mga folders at isang baso ng tubig. The spectacles on his eyes intimidated me a bit since I didn't often see him wearing such plus he was still in his formal getup, stating how he still wasn't done with his work for today.

"T-Tito Feb!" Jimin piped, shocked. Umatras siya at tuluyan nang humarap sa direksyon ni Daddy.

Naintindihan kong nagulat siya sa presensiya ni Daddy dahil hindi naman madalas si Daddy rito sa bahay. Plus, it had been months already since they last saw each other.
