Lisa
I spend the day with Jisoo unnie. I didn't get bored kase masaya siya kasama. Kumain lang kami then arcade. She wants to play daw. By the way, Jennie is with us too.
Remember the investor that Chaeyoung managed to convinced? It was her.
We've met at the restaurant after Chaeyoung left, since then I always hangout with her. She's cool and smart.
I'm glad Jisoo unnie and Jennie unnie are getting along pretty well.
It's already late, I feel bad for Chaeyoung because she's alone in the house. Kaya lang di talaga namin namalayan yung oras. Nagtext na nga siya, pinapauwi na kami. Sakto naman nakasakay na kami.
Pagpasok namin ng bahay, si Chaeyoung agad nakita ko. She fell asleep while waiting for us.
"Sure ako papagalitan tayo bukas niyan. Bakit kase di natin namalayan oras eh." Jisoo said while scratching her head.
"We enjoyed the day that's why." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"Thank you for the whole day Lisa." She smiled at me.
"No, thank you." I smiled back.
"Iakyat na natin yan sa kwarto niya"
"I'll do it. Pahinga ka na" Nilapitan ko na lang siya and I kissed her cheek.
"Goodnight"
I carried Chaeyoung bridal style. And she's heavy.
"You're heavy" I chukled a bit.
"Yes I am. I didn't ask you to carry me" Aba gising pala to.
"Gising ka naman pala, baba na."
"Panindigan mo yan. Di ako bababa" She wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I'm sorry late kami"
"It's okay. Nag-enjoy ka naman eh"
Hiniga ko na si Chaeyoung sa bed. Muka namang nakatulog na siya ulit. Naligo lang ako saglit kase medyo inaantok na rin ako.
Now that I think about it, siguro swerte ko kase inalagaan ako ni Chaeyoung nung napadpad ako sa Korea.
It was almost 4 years ago nung nilayasan ko si Dad, so dahil pangarap ko naman Korea doon ako nagtago. I only got one way ticket. Nung una di ako takot kase marami akong pera pero di nagtagal naubos syempre. Umabot ako sa point na nagugutom talaga ko na di ako makakilos.
Thankfully, Chaeyoung was there. She approached me. Malinaw na malinaw pa rin sakin yung nangyare nung araw na yon.
Flashback
"Would you mind if I sit here?" I'm starving kaya di nako nakapagsalita. Tumango na lang ako sa kung sino man yung nagtanong.
"Are you alright?" I nodded, kahit di naman talaga.
"I know you're not. I've seen you here for 3 days straight and I think you're starving yourself." Naaawa yata sakin to. Kaya lang feeling ko nakakaawa na talaga ko.
"It might be embarassing but I'm not starving myself, I just can't afford to buy food for now" I really am hungry.
"Come with me" Ngumiti siya sakin tas hinawakan niya kamay ko. Di naman siya mukang masamang tao kaya sumama nako.
We walked for about 3 minutes then we reached a small house. Mukang bahay nila.
"Come in, don't be shy. Our house is small, I hope you don't mind." She's still smiling at me.
She prepared food for me. I'm thankful. Hinayaan niya lang akong kumain ng kumain hanggang mabusog ako.
"Are you okay now?" She asked.
"Yeah. Thank you?"
"The name is Park Chaeyoung and you are?"
"Lisa Manoban. Thank you for the food Chaeyoung."
I'm actually comfortable around her. Kaya naikwento ko na rin sa kanya lahat. Kung paano ko napadpad sa Korea at kung bakit wala nakong pera. She's kind, sweet, caring, and I'm really thankful.
She told me to come with her again tomorrow if I want to work. I agreed, I badly need money. I can't go back to Dad in PH. Pipilitin niya lang akong magmanage ng business namin don eh hindi ko naman yon gusto.
"So can I have your number?" I asked her.
"Of course. Here"
Nakakahiya kase hinatid niya pa ko sa tinutuluyan ko.
"Ahmn, thank you so much Chaeyoung. I'm sorry for making you cook."
"It's okay. Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow. Message me." She waved her hand and left.
Nakakahiya man pero pinagbaon niya pa ko ng pagkain.
Di niya alam, napasaya niya ko. Di lang sa fact na pinagluto niya ko at pinakain. Napakawelcoming niyang tao, di man lang siya natakot na baka masamang tao ako tas pinapasok niya ko sa bahay nila.
She's friendly. I'll definitely go and see her tomorrow.
Nalaman kong pareho sila ng hilig ni Daddy. Pareho sila ng pangarap sa buhay. Ang pinagkaiba lang eh si Dad afford lahat at di nahirapan sa gastos nung nag-aaral siya.
But with Chaeng? Nahihirapan siya. Mag-aaral ng pagod, magtatrabaho ng inaantok.
She's hardworking, and I admire her for that kaya lang madalas I feel bad for her.
I worked with her in a café pero siya pumapasok pa sa University sa tuwing may klase siya.
Nung una, hirap na hirap ako. Kase naman, 3 in 1 coffee nga di ko matutunan tamang dami ng tubig, paano pa yung iba ibang klaseng coffee diba?
But Chaeng was there. Natutunan ko lahat dahil pinagtyagaan niya talaga ko.
I stayed in their house for 2 months back then, kase after 2 months I decided to go back and talk to my Dad.
To be honest, Chaeng told me to do it and nakinig ako sa kanya.
"Tell him that you want to do something else. Be honest with him Lisa. Maybe he'll understand."
It was the words that she told me back then. And she's right. It's okay with Dad.
Hindi ko hinayaang maputol communication namin ni Chaeyoung kahit nasa PH nako. She is so special for me. Nung nakagraduate siya, I told Dad to let her train in our restaurant for free. Nabanggit kase sakin ni Chaeyoung na they needed to train for a year. Dad agreed to it. I used my own savings to accomodate everything that she will be needing here.
I didn't told her kase magagalit yon. She'll feel bad. She accepted it and I'm happy. That's why we are like this today.
