I sighed while staring at my phone. I already expected this. Alam kong makikipaghiwalay na siya, pero hindi ko inaasahang sa isang text message niya ako hihiwalayan. Hell, that's too coward of him, right? Pero hindi tulad ng iba, hindi na ako magmamakaawa sa kaniya. It's my fault, anyway. I was the first one to fall out of love. Ngayong napagod na siya, wala na akong magagawa.
Don't get me wrong. Napagod ako dahil hindi na siya ang Kent na nakilala at minahal ko. He cheated on me. I'm a martyr, so I gave him a second chance. Nagbago naman siya, pero nawala na ang lahat. He broke all his promises. He broke my heart. He broke me. That was the reason why I lost my feelings for him. He then begged for my love, but I just don't feel him and his love anymore.
Masaya na rin ako sa nangyari. Malaya na kami pareho. He deserves a girl who will stay with him no matter what, hindi ang isang katulad ko. We're still young. I'm 17, he's 18. We're too young to fight for this love. We are too young for this toxic relationship.
I was sitting in a bench here in a park that's a walking distance away from our house. Gabi na, pero gusto ko pang magpahangin. Halos wala nang tao rito sa park. The moon shines bright. The stars twinkle in happiness. Napangiti na lamang ako. When everything feels so dark and lonely, there come the moon and stars to shine and give off light.
"Hey, why are you so jealous? I don't even like you!"
Not far from where I was, I heard a boy talking like he was mad. Pilit kong inaninag ang isang pigura na nakatayo habang nasa baywang ang isang kamay.
Woah, is he a Korean? He looks like one. I was a fan of Korean dramas, and this was my first time seeing a Korean that handsome in real life!
Nanatili akong nakatitig sa kaniya hanggang sa napansin kong nakatitig na rin siya sa akin. Creases were present in his forehead, maybe due to confusion? Kaya pala hindi ko maintindihan ang mga sinasabi niya kanina.
He looked really cute and handsome. Kamukha niya si Kim Taehyung at some angles. I didn't stand up nor leave. Tinitigan ko lang siya, hanggang sa nagulat na lamang akong nakatayo na siya sa harap ko. He was pouting while staring at me.
"C-Can you help me?" Nagulat ako nang magsalita siya. He can speak English fluently!
"Sure. Did you learn English or something?" He chuckled and bit his lower lip. Fuck, magsisinungaling ako kung sasabihin kong hindi siya gwapo noong ginawa niya iyon. Didn't know I would meet someone like him here in this park.
"I was born in Korea, but we had migrated in America when I was 7 years old. We had lived there for a decade so I had learned speaking English. It's not that hard."
Pakiramdam ko ay nagkwento siya ng bahagi ng buhay niya in an indirect way. Ngumiti ako bago ini-scan ang buong katawan niya. He has a straight black hair that suits her white skin. He also has a jet-black eyes and pointed nose that will surely attract someone. His lips were pinkish and has a shape of heart. Shit, mala-Korean actor talaga.
He then got his turn to scan me. Bigla naman akong na-conscious. Hindi naman kasi ako maganda. Unlike other pretty girls, I don't have a beauty to be proud of. Kulot ang kulay itim kong buhok. Medyo maliit ang mga mata ko. My nose, although pointed, is pretty small. Iyong mga labi ko, medyo maliit din at ang pale ng kulay. See? You just met an ugly girl. I also don't have curves. What an unlovely girl.
"Anyway, can't you understand Filipino? I mean, I can talk to you in English, also in Filipino. But not all Filipinos are like me who can talk to you in English." He just smiled before laughing.
"I can't. But I know some Filipino words. Like, maganda? And... busog?"
"That's pretty cool. By the way, you said earlier you needed my help?" He slowly nodded. Ilang taon na kaya ang lalaking ito? Looks can be deceiving, you know. Ang mga Korean pa naman din ay mga mukhang bata pa, pero ang totoo, may iba sa kanilang medyo matanda na. Who knows?
