It was said that the Yamaguchi-gumi is the strongest and biggest yakuza clan there is. And in that big family of yakuza, there was a beautiful growing dragon. Cold and heartless. Fearless and strongest. And the youngest chosen one.
At ako yun.

"I........" Hindi ko magawang dugtungan ang sinabi ko dahil napakaraming bagay ang dapat kong ikonsidera bago sagutin ang tanong na yon.
"Kung hindi mo kayang sabihin, hindi kita pipilitin. I just got curious. The big tattoo on your back and the way you seem to be always in trouble. And I damn well know that you can fight so don't even try denying it. All of it..... were enough to pique my curiosity. But again, hindi kita pinipilit magsalita. " kibit balikat ito na sabi niya.
Sa maikling panahon ay nalaman ko na hindi ordinaryong tao at hindi basta basta ang isang gaya ni Cole. I know he's smart enough to realize that I am not just an ordinary waitress at a bar. Should I tell him the truth?
No, I can't take a risk.
Natahimik ako saglit habang nakatingin parin sa kanya. Maya-maya'y napabuntong hininga nalang ako.
"Before I start, I want to make things clear. May mga bagay akong sasabihin na makakasagot sa mga katanungan mo tungkol sakin. At may mga bagay din na hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sayo. I hope you respect that Mr. Carlyle. "
Cole crossed his arms together.
"Very well then. " ani Cole saka ito sumandal sa pader na nakaharap saken habang naghihintay na magsalita ako.
I cleared my throat and walked towards a floor to ceiling glass that has the view of an infinity pool and skyscrapers that sets as it's background. I watched as a flock of birds pass by and I thought it was a rare sight to see when you're on top of a building that stands in the middle of a bustling city.
I started with sigh.
"My.....brother and I had to ran away from the people who wants us dead. Matagal na kaming nasa gantong sitwasyon at alam kong kayang kaya kong protektahan ang kapatid ko kapag hiningi ng pagkakataon. Nung araw na makita mo ako, nagkaton lang marahil yon na hindi ako nakalaban ng maayos. I have my days too where I get unlucky during fights but there was never a moment or a day that I get beat up and let myself lose in a fight. At nagpapasalamat ako dahil tinulungan mo ako. Kung hindi nyo ko nakita ng araw na yon baka kung napano na ko sa kalsada. You can think of whatever and however you may like but I am not telling you any more than this."
I crossed my arms and turned to face Cole who's been watching me the whole time. Nanatili lang syang tahimik at tila ba walang balak na magtanong pa ng kahit na ano. Kaya nagpatuloy ako sa pagsasalita.
"Tinanong mo ako kanina kung sino ako. Sa totoo lang ay may mga pagkakataon na tinatanong ko rin yan sa sarili ko. I'd like to believe that the me now is the real me. At least for now, I am Jin. I know, you're not that stupid to not get an idea of what kind of a person I am."
Napa-angat ang kilay ni Cole sa huling sinabi ko. And I think I saw amusement flicker in those intense eyes of his.
"Maybe what I think of you is right. Pwede ring mali ako. Pero gaya nga ng sinabi ko, hindi kita pipiliting sabihin sakin ang sikreto mo. One day, you'll come to me on your own. And you will willingly spill to me everything you've hidden there inside of you. Believe me you will." He said in a very low voice. And I suddenly felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand. He
