Soonyoung's

Nagising ako nang bigla kong maramdaman na wala na si Jihoon sa kabilang side ng kama. Kagabi kasi ay natulog kami sa kwarto niya habang si Ji Young ay nasa kabilang kwarto. I yawned and stayed for 5 minutes bago tuluyang tumayo at dumeretso sa banyo.

After doing my thing, dumeretso na ako agad sa kwarto kung nasaan si Ji Young. I saw her sleeping peacefully kaya agad rin akong lumabas. Saktong paglabas ko ay narinig ko ang pagbagsak ng plato mula sa kusina ni Jihoon. I knitted my eyebrows as I rush to his kitchen to check what is wrong.

There I saw him, preparing the tables. May nakahanda nang bacon and egg sa lamesa, plus fried rice and orange juice. I cleared my throat to get his attention. Kumukuha kasi siya ng plato para saaming tatlo nina Ji Young.

"Ji!"

"Oh, Soons, gising ka na pala."

"Niluto mo ba 'to?"

"A-ah, oo e. Medyo nasunog yung bacon pe--"

"But diba hindi ka naman marunong magluto?"

"Ah, eh..."

He looked at me shyly. I sighed at lumapit sakanya. I saw him side eyeing the trash bin kaya napatingin ako roon. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita kong nandun lahat ng attempt niyang bacon and egg na nag-fail.

"Ji naman. . ."

Lumapit ako sakanya at kinuha yung mga plates na hawak niya. Dumeretso ako sa dining at umupo pagkatapos kong ayusin yung mga plato. Umupo rin siya sa harap ko pero 'di naman siya makatingin ng deretso saakin.

"Anong oras ka gumising for this?"

"2 hours ago? I think. Pero Soons ok lang, I've been doing this since dito natulog si Ji-- oh shit."

"What? So you are trying to make breakfast simula nung nandito si Ji Young?"

Tumango siya. I sighed again as I looked at him softly. I extended my hand on the table para hawakan ang kamay niya pero he just shook his head.

"Don't tell me napaso ka sa kamay for attempting to cook?"

"Soons, normal lang naman 'yun if hindi ka marunong magluto. Besides, nung first time ko lang naman, kanina hindi na."

He smiled at me again. I just shook my head out of disbelief and gestured him to hold my hand. He slowly hold my hand and ngumiti nanaman saakin.

"You don't have to do this naman, Jihoonie."

"Alam mo? Sabi ni Ji Young nung pinagluto ko siya ng breakfast, it was her first time na ipagmalaki sa classmate niya na she can finally eat a breakfast made for her. Kasi raw it always cereals or fast food. And super naiingit daw siya everytime naririnig niya mga classmates niya talking about the breakfast na ginawa ng parents nila just for them."

"..."

"It made me happy, Soons. First time daw niya na nakasali sa usapan ng mga classmates niya about breakfast. Soons, I can't erase that smile on her face kapag 'di ko trinay na magluto again."

"This is the reason why she really likes you."

"..."

"Maybe this is the time for her to know?"

He looked at me with wide eyes. Pinisil ko ang kamay niya na hawak ko to assure him na ok lang, na matatanggap kami ni Ji Young.

"Ji?"
