"I'm here to clear things up. I told you I don't want to confess by using phone as a media."

He's here. Taeyong is here.

"Kelan ka pa nakarating dito? I'm really sorry i haven't texted you. My manager suddenly withdrew my phone from me. I haven't got the chance to text you back since i got so immersed sa shoo--"

"Hey. hey. Alam ko. No need to be sorry. Kusa akong pumunta dito ng maaga. And besides Jungwoo's here to keep me company" he cut me off.

My mood changed. Wtf? Jungwoo's already here? Di man lang niya sinabi sa akin?

"Yes he's alread here. He's at his room. Di niya sinabi kasi surprise daw." Am I that readable?

"And yes. I can read your mind." He chuckled. Tinignan ko siya na parang nagtatanong

"I know what you're thinking, Nini. I can read you like an open book." He flicked my forehead teasingly and smiled. I think i spaced out?

"Labas muna tayo before Jungwoo will take you from me. I haven't profess pa naman" i let him drag me papuntang garden. I think he's been here way before. Alam na alam niya kasi kung saan yung way papunta sa labas eh.

He stopped as we have reached. He faced me. Looking straight into my eyes.

"I think you'd be bothered if i'll not give you the assurance you deserve" he knows me too well

"Jennie, what i said yesterday was true. I really like you" ito na talaga. He's starting

I broke the staring contest and sat on the grass while grabbing his hand for him to copy what i did.

"But i'm still in despair right now. How could you?" I blurted. Totoo naman. I'm easily affected sa mga sinasabi ng mga tao sa paligid ko. Baka naaawa lang to sakin since my inner self is really broken right now.

"I did not did this out of pity. Confessing ain't a joke. I like you since then, Jennie. It's just that i don't have the right time to profess it." He said while our hands are still holding with each other.

"I think im still not ready" i said out of the blue

"I know. I know you're still not ready to be in a relationship. I just want you to know what i truly feel." Ba't parang naiiyak ako? This is the first time that someone had confessed his feelings to me.

"I'll help you find yourself along the way. Just let me prove my love for you" Taeyong said

"You dont need to." I think this is my problem to begin with. I don't want to drag someone para problemahin yung mga problema ko.

"Hey. I know you wanted to work things on your own and i'd let you. I'll just be right there to give you support, okay?" What he said gave me second thoughts

Maybe it would be nice to have someone by your side in these times.

"Maybe giving other chances would be worth it." I said kaya napatigil tong katabi ko

"Did i just hear you say--"

"I'll let you do whatever you want, Taeyong" i smiled

Tong isang to parang nabaliw na ata. Parang kanina lang ang lungkot tignan tas ngayon iba iba na yung nalalabas na emosyon sa mukha

Is this love?

"I hope i made the right decision though" i said na para bang nagbibiro. But half of it is really meant

"Of course. Isang Lee Taeyong lang naman yung manliligaw sa'yo"

"Kapal" we laughed pero nabigla ako when he pulled me closer to his chest.

"I'll wait until your heart's ready, Nini" he said and kissed my forehead still not breaking the hug.

I think I need someone to help me love myself
