Second Best 「 Choi Soobin 」✓

12

Soobin;

I woke up when the sun rays hit my face. Bumangon ako at napahawak sa aking noo. My head hurts. My attention got caught when the door suddenly open. Para akong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig when I saw my brother.

"Oh Binnie, gising ka na pala. Mamaya pupunta dito si Manang, nagpa akyat ako ng breakfast para sayo. Eat up okay? I know you are having a hangover kaya nagpadala na rin ako ng gamot."

He said and smiled at me. Ever since we were little, he takes care of me. But in return I betrayed him. I envy him, and I am having a grudge on him right now because of Lia. Unlike me, he is a good man.

"Gomawo hyung."

I plainly said. Lumapit siya sakin ang tapped my shoulder.

"Anything for my little brother."

I gave him a fake smile.

"So tell me, bakit ka naglasing kahapon? Tsaka why did you came home late? I thought na uuwi ka ng maaga since you had an overnight stay in your friend's place."

"Hindi kasi namin natapos yung project katulad ng inaasahan kaya nagtagal ako sa bahay nila. Tsaka nagboys hang out po kasi kami nila Beomgyu kahapon kaya ayun, nagkainuman."

Pagsisinungaling ko. Bahagya namang kumunot yung noo ni hyung. Nahalata ba niya yung kasinungalingan ko?

"Oh? I see..."

He said and smiled. I feel relieved pero deep inside inuusig ako ng konsensya ko. I lied to him again.

"I'll go now, marami pa kasi akong aasikasuhin sa opisina. Don't miss tonight's dinner okay? I will be mad if you will be out again."

Binigyan ko siya ng simpleng ngiti at tumango. He then exited my room. I took a deep sigh at humiga ulit. I should clean up my mess yesterday and be my old self again. It will be a disadvantage to me if I will keep on doing this.

Suri;

Inilagay ko yung notebook ko sa bag. Katatapos lang ng first subject namin pero hindi pa rin dumadating si Soobin. Nakauwi kaya yun sa kanila kahapon? Di ko na natawagan si Beomgyu kasi na expire na yung load ko. Sana naman okay lang siya.

"Suri, pinapatawag ka ni Mrs. Ong sa faculty."

Ani ni Ellie. Kumunot naman yung noo ko. Bakit kaya ako pinapatawag ni Mrs. Ong? Sa pagkakaalala ko wala naman akong ginawang kabalbalan.

Lumabas ako ng room at pumunta sa faculty room. Nagbow ako sa mga teachers doon at pumunta sa pwesto ni Mrs. Ong.

"Good morning Mrs. Ong, pinapatawag niyo daw po ako?"

Inalis niya yung atensyon niya sa computer at bumaling sakin.

"Miss Nam, I have a favor to ask." Ani niya.

"Ano po yun?"

Kinuha niya yung isang pile ng documents at ibinigay sakin. Sing kapal ng encyclopedia yung papeles. Teka, ang bigat. Buti na lang may muscle ako kahit papaano.

"Since Mr. Choi is absent today, please give this to him. Yan yung mga iprinopose na activities ng bawat section sa department natin for the upcoming School Festival. As the leader of the Student Council in this department, he needs to review if the activities are good or not."

Sabi ni Mrs. Ong at binigyan ako ng simpleng ngiti.

"Eh Mrs. Ong, bakit po ako yung inutusan niyo? Di naman po kami close tsaka di ko alam kung saan siya nakatira."

"Because you are reliable more than anyone.  You said that you are not with Mr. Choi but I know that there is something between you two."

Sabi niya sabay kindat. Napangiwi naman ako ng slight. Ito na nga ba yung sinasabi ko eh. Pati teachers namin kung ano ano ng iniisip tungkol samin. Like hello? Ma'am may jowa na po ako. Yeonjun po pangalan niya. Yes po, opo.
