"Hyung, alis na kami."

"Sige. Ingat kayo,"

Umupo ako mula sa pagkakahiga sa couch at kinuha yung phone ko. No messages. Napagpasiyahan kong uminom ng tubig kaya agad akong tumayo at kumuha ng tubig sa kusina.

I'm currently at Dream's Dorm. Kakadalaw ko lang dito mula nung isang araw. Sinabi kasi nung manager namin na kailangan ng general cleaning sa mismong NCT Dorm, kaya naman sumaglit kami dito.

Nang matapos uminom ay umakyat ako sa sariling kwarto, "Tangina, ang kalat."

Nagsimula akong maglinis hanggang sa may nadampot akong litrato.

'Day Xth :)'

Sa likod ng litrato ay ang penmanship ko na nakasulat iyon. However, the picture is already blurred, or was taken blurred?

"I have a camera here!" she excitedly stated, a familiar girl figure.

"Woah, you used it." I smiled.

"Ofcourse, thank you nana! Anyway, let's take a one shot!" she then positioned her camera.

Naalala ko iyon. My memories with her is still freshed on my mind. Her smiles, her laugh, her voice. . .

Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagliligpit at nagtungo sa cabinet. Maayos pa naman ang mga damitan. Isasara ko na sana ito nang may napansin. Chopped yet compiled pictures. Three smiles.

Nakaayos ito pahalang at sinadyang pinunit ang mga mukha para ang ngiti lamang ang matira. I learned the first two was me and her. However, the last smile is confusing.

"It was awesome day, right?" someone said. I.. do not re..remember her?

"Ofcourse, we are now completed!" she said.

"We're not. Jeno is missing," I stated while we're walking home.

"Hmp, Jeno is still not my type." she cross armed yet naka-angkla pa rin sa isang babae.

"Bessie, stop fighting with Jeno, can you?" the one that cant remember said.

"Eh,"

Bessie? Yeah, naikwento niya nga saakin dati ang isa niya pang bestfriend. The one who calls her bessie. But, I didn't know that I met her.
  
   
 
"Nana, this is my bessie!" she introduced.

Fuck. Fuck, what now?

Napahawak ako sa sentido nang may marinig na matinis na linya. Irritating.

"Hello, nana!" she smiled sweetly as she wave her hand.

All I knew that I only had one childhood best friend. Fuck. Stop that line!

"Hi. You are?"

"I'm Jazmine!"
 
  
  
  
"Hyung, okay ka na?" Chenle asked. I slightly nod.

"Nana, be healthy. Mamaya pupunta dito sila Taeyong hyung, may dala." Mark hyung said. Dreamies are the first one saw me at the dorm kaya naman sila ang nandito ngayon. Maya-maya rin ay lumabas na sila at naiwan si Jeno.

"Didn't thought even a single time that I knew her since before." salita ko. Nanatili siya sa sofa, walang sagot.

"You owe me one, Nana." Jeno said at tumayo sa pagkakaupo.

"Yeah, thank you." Even though he keep his mouth closed, I owe him. He still save me.

 
 
"Pagkatapos nito, dadalawin natin siya." banggit ko. Tumango naman ito at tumango.

"Pagkatapos."
