CHAPTER 21

Seri's POV

****Flashback****

Sa isang madilim at maliit na silid nakikita ko ang isang batang babae na tumutupi ng dilaw na papel. That little girl was me.

Ginagawa niya itong parang rosas ang papel. Nang ma buo na niya ang origami, kumuha siya ng pulang ballpen saka nagsulat sa isang petal.

[Hindi na ako iiyak muli ❤]

**** End of flashback****

Exactly the same origami is in front of me. It's slightly crumpled but I remember that was the one I made when I was young. That yellow paper rose with a phrase written on its petal. I gave it to the boy who comforted me in the playground 10 years ago.

Why is he holding it? The guy in front of me.

There's a bright light striking to both of us. All eyes are staring at us inside the arena.

"It's you?", the only phrase that came out from me. Hindi pa lahat nagsisink-in sakin.

The song hasn't finished yet but he stopped singing. Only the instrumental is playing as a background music for this moment.

"I forgot to say my name that day. My name is Jay.. Jay Han Skawngur", he said on the mic.

I didn't uttered a word. I can't speak properly because I feel like crying right now. He was that boy. The seesaw boy. My childhood first love.

"You said you won't cry again.", he said. I can't stop this fcking tears coz it keeps flowing.

I hugged him and can hear everyone's reaction. Jay hugged me back and make it tighter. All the cameras are capturing that moment. I can hear the scream of his fans. Mom and Dr. Jung are speechless. But this is the first time I wasn't conscious to the people looking at me even if they are guys. I don't care if his girlfriend is watching.

All I feel is that I missed him so much.

*****

2 days later...

Yup. Two days have passed but we are still the talk in town. I can't even go to school because reporters are following me.

Jay made a statement to the media after that day.

"Yes. That dating rumor is false. I never dated that trainee. But please don't bother Seri. If you have questions to her, ask me instead. "

That's what he said. Pero may mga reporters paring matitigas ang ulo. Kaya hindi ako ngayon makalabas ng bahay. Jay haven't contacted me either. The last message he sent to me is assuring me that I will be okay and he will take care of everything.

Pumunta din dito si Jinx at Sheen sa bahay para interviewhin ako. I just tell them everything and it seems like they understand. Pero hindi pa din sila makapaniwala tulad ng ibang fans ni Jay. The same thing with Mom and Junjun.
Jennifer is getting famous now. Although some hated her for lying about that dating scandal but some are stalking her and appreciate her talents and visual. Many already anticipated their debut as a girlgroup.

And Jay... I still haven't contacted him. I think he is getting in trouble.

Jay's POV

My fans keep sending me questions to clarify things but I can't answer them all. Reporters keep coming to my house and to the company so I can't go out.

Mr. Yang is really angry right now because of what I did but he can't let go a money-maker like me either. He said he won't give me comeback for a year but I am not sad or what coz I like that idea too. I can spend time with Seri freely without worrying about my schedules. We have lots of memories to catch up. I didn't regret. I think I made the right thing.
