Chapter Twenty-one

I felt my heart sink, getting drowned without salvation.

I didn't want anything right now but to throw myself to him, wrap my arms around him and hug him so tight just so he knew that I freaking missed him so much, but I didn't do any of it. Hindi ko pinayagan ang sarili kong sundin ang gusto ng puso ko dahil mas nangingibabaw ang isinisigaw ng isip ko, na nagsinungaling siya sa akin at isinantabi niya ako para kay Cielo Severino at Pauline Alveoli.

Na nagawa niya akong tiisin dahil abala siya sa iba.

I would be really unreasonable for getting mad just because of it but I wanted to cradle my emotions and let it get to me, 'cause I was currently very soft and fragile right now. His mere presence was actually hurting me, devastating me and killing me.

"East, I texted you earlier," Jimin said in a soft and pampering tone, as if he knew I was upset. His eyes carefully watched my face for a change before his face fell, disappointment taking place. He quickly stretched his arms to reach for my hands but I immediately stepped back, wanting to go away from anywhere near him and being afraid he would know how I was just barely holding back.

My back instantly bumped to Jungkook's body who just stood tensed behind me, electricity from the sudden contact with the jerk's warm and hard body ran down my spine. Isinantabi ko sa malayong parte ng isipan ko si Jungkook, at pinid ang mga labing sinalubong kong muli ang mga mata ni Jimin para lang makitang gulat siyang nakatitig sa akin, ang mga mapupulang labi ay naka-awang.

My lips almost quivered when I felt my throat hurt as his hands slowly fell back to his sides, disappointment quickly going back to shade his beautiful pair of dark circles.

We had had fights before, just trivial fights. Kung may away man kaming malala ay dahil may mga bagay kaming sinusuway sa isa't isa. Nagkakabati rin naman kami kaagad dahil hindi namin pareho kayang magtagal na galit sa isa't isa.

Galit ako sa kaniya ngayon, pero hindi dahil sinuway niya ako. This wasn't also just one of our trivial fights. Galit ako sa kaniya dahil natatakot ako, natatakot akong baka tuluyan na siyang mawala sa akin, maagaw ng iba sa akin. At hindi ko kakayanin iyon.

"Hannan, what's wrong—" He purposely stopped, his lips quickly parted as his eyes intently chased something on my body.

I silently gasped when I suddenly felt an arm slowly snake around my waist and gently pull me closer to a warm body. Jungkook's natural baby scent instantly mixing with Jimin's sweet minty scent since I was in between their towering bodies, but Jungkook's scent overpowered since he was nearer to me.

Wala na yatang hintuan ang mabilis na tibok ng puso ko dahil mas nagwala lang ito sa ginawa ni Jungkook. Damang-dama ko ang higpit ng braso niyang nakapalibot sa baywang ko at ang malapad niyang dibdib sa likod ko.

Jungkook hugging me from the back was very heart-hammering itself, what more if he hugged me in front of my best friend?

"We'll have lunch together, Jimin," Jungkook said in an amused voice but the firmness was present. It was like he was just informing Jimin about that fact happening and the latter couldn't do anything about it.

I could be jerking his arm away from me, screaming at him for even pulling a ridiculous stunt in font of Jimin and being mad but I didn't do any of it.

My mind just told me not to, because I wanted to see Jimin's reaction or maybe, my weird and inexplicable side just wanted to get even on him for making me feel set-aside. I knew, it was a bit immature but this was how I was.

Alam niyang madali akong nagagalit sa tuwing hindi siya nagpapakita sa akin, alam niyang hindi ko gustong inuuna niya ang iba kaysa sa akin at alam niya ring pagdating sa kaniya, ayaw kong may nakaka-agaw ng oras at atensyon niya! At nakaka-inis dahil nakakalimutan na niya iyon! Just because of someone like Pauline Alveoli, that cheating bitch!
