"Huy Eunice, gising."
I quickly sat. My breathing was heavy while looking around. It's already morning yet they are still sleeping except for me and Yvannia.
"Bakit pinagpa-pawisan ka yata? Binangungot ka ba?" She laughed. Ang init!
Oh my God. It was a dream. It was a dream. It was only a dream. Please tell me that it's just a dream?
I touched my lips when Yvannia went to the bathroom. I felt like it was real. The words he said, Navy's soft lips, and warm kisses. He tasted like strawberry vodka, and the way he moved and brushed his lips on mine. Hush, I think i'll go crazy thinking about that. But i'm sure it was only a dream, please lang.
It's six in the morning. I opened the curtain and saw the boys playing basketball. And lastly I saw Navy, sitting comfortably, drinking coffee while looking from afar. Looks like he's thinking of something.
I choked when he caught me staring at him. He looked at me and sighed. I quickly closed the curtain. What is the meaning of this? I feel weird and awkward just because of that nightmare.
At seven when we're all awake, I already took a bath. I heard that Navy's gonna throw a party tonight inviting all of his friends and relatives. I remembered, today's Tuesday. Means, Navy's last day. I ran out of energy when I remember it. I closed my eyes and sighed. No, it can't be, Eunice. Stop this feeling or else.

"Coffee?" Navy smiled and handed me a cup of coffee. Everything's normal now, thank God.
Just kidding. Ang awkward pa din kahit na sabihin panaginip lang yun. Gosh! Pati ba naman sa panaginip napaka-landi ko?
I sat away from him cuz' you know, " Thanks."
"Ang layo mo, halika nga!" He laughed and pulled me closer. I just faked my laugh. Ugh, I feel awkward again. This isn't right.
The both of us are sitting while watching the other boys playing balls. It's early in the morning yet they are so energetic to play that. Also, the other girls are taking picture, eating or whatever.
"Anong gusto mong kainin? Malamig ngayon, may gusto ka bang gawin? Para naman mainitan ka." Navy asked. Napalunok ako nang napansin kong parang may mali sa sinabi niya.
"Ah? Ah kahit ano nalang dyan. Hehe." Dammit, I want to slap myself for being stupid infront of him.
He pinched my cheeks and laughed. "Kyeopta."
And then he stood up and went inside his house. Why can't he stop calling me with Korean words, huh. I don't even understand what it means.
He came back bringing a bowl of food. Smells nice. "Here you go."
"Nagluto ka pa, sige thank you." I smiled slyly. I tasted it and damn, tastes good. I never tasted this food before so I assume that this is a Korean food. "Huy, ang sarap."
"Glad you liked it." I didn't look at him. I just laughed and continued eating until he said something that made me stop.
"Wala ka ba talagang naaalala?" Napalunok na naman ako.
My breathing became heavier. Is he talking about something that happened.. Last night? Wait what.
"Nevermind." He coughed and drank his coffee again.
No. It was just a dream. I assume that he was talking about that kiss but for me, I believe that it was only a dream. Unless, he's talking about something else.
"Ang daya niyong maglaro! Ayoko na!" Kaize looked pissed and his playmates laughed.

It's already four in the afternoon. All day, we didn't do much but we watched movie, played video games, tried to play UNO cards but we all fought, and now we're all okay.
"Sabi ko sainyo, malalaman lang natin kung gaano katatag ang pagkakaibigan natin kung maglalaro tayo ng punyetang uno cards na yan." Kuya Eugene said while filling the wide swimming pool with water.
All of us girls are fixing Navy's mini studio bar where there are plenty of wines, whiskeys, whatever drinks. While the boys are playing with water and fixing the tables.
"Nandito na kami!" I heard a scream coming from Navy's gate. Wait, I know some of them! We came from the same school too. There I saw, Selina, Anna, Xander, Andrew, Liam, Andrei, Jamille, Xavi, Sheena and they're with someone I met in Cebu; Shamyuel, Jasper, Nate, Ashanti, Axelle and Jinus.
"Dude! 'Di niyo kami tinawag kahapon!" They all laughed.
"Andyan na naman si Shamyuel? Nakakairita." Mizeniah said while wiping the table harshly.
"Yeppeun," I heard Navy behind me so I turned to look at him. He offered me a bottle of water.
"Thank you." I smiled awkwardly and took the bottle. I felt Yvannia's stare so I quickly drank the water. Bakit ba laging ang init kapag malapit si Navy sa akin.
"Don't let yourself get tired. Here," And then he handed me another bottled water.
"Hmm, ang daya. Paano kami?" Ara demanded and they laughed.
"Oh, andyan na pala sila Hailey, oh! Hailey!" Mizeniah waved at the girl wearing a silver tube dress with elegant accessories. "Oh my gosh. Pretty like me!!" Miz squeaked.
"Hello!" She waved at us. She's so sexy, I admit. I looked at Navy and expected him staring at Hailey. But no, he was just looking at me with a smirk. I looked away. What is wrong with Navy? Napakunot tuloy ang noo ko lalo.
"Hi, Navy.." Hailey greeted slyly. Mizeniah teases them again.
Navy looked at Hailey with normal expression. "Hi." He just said and looked at me again. He held my pulse. "Tara Eunice, kain tayo ng snacks." Then he pulled me and walked away leaving them hanging.
"Ay, eh?" They all sounded confused so I turned to look at them again. Hailey just smiled and pretended like she wasn't embarrassed.
He dragged me on a long table with foods. I just watched him making a taco. "Here you go."
I accepted. "Thanks. Bakit mo iniwan si Hailey 'don?"
"Iniwan ko ba? Hindi naman eh." He made a taco himself and took a bite.
My brows went connected. "Ang awkward mo sa kanya, ah. Umuwi ka ba kagabi pagkatapos mo siyang ihatid?"
He looks confused when he looked at me. "Oo, diba? Naabutan pa nga kita kagabi sa kusina. Hindi mo alam?"
I was stilled. "A-Ano?" My heart beat raced. Don't tell me, it was real. No, I swear it was only a dream.
He cleared his throat and looked away. "Weird." He scratched his head.
