Line 8 ⚠

(Yoon Jeonghan's PoV)

-naabutan kong nagluluto na nang hapunan si Hong pagdating ko sa unit, hindi kasi kami nagkasabay pauwi since may mga inasikaso pako sa labas.

"Andito naba si Mingyu?"

-yun kaagad ang unang tanong ko sa kanya.

"Nope. He's not here"

-alam kong halatang halata ang disappointment sa muka ko ngayon. I'm starting to think that he's changing, I mean... dati rati naman palaging sya ang nauunang mag insist na magka ayos kami, pero ngayon mukang wala syang balak na makipag usap sakin o magpakita man lang.

"You guys had a fight?"

-tanong sakin ni Jisoo habang nag gagayat nang sibuyas. Ibinaba ko ang sling bag ko sa lamesa at inirolyo pataas ang sleeves nang polo ko. Dumeretso ako sa sink at hinugasan yung mga gulay na nakapatong sa gilid.

"Lulutuin moba to lahat?"

-hindi nya ko sinagot at dire diretso lang sa pag gagayat nang sibuyas. Hindi narin naman ako umimik at hinugasan nalang ang lahat nang mga repolyo, carrots, radish at kamatis na nakikita ko. The cutting sounds suddenly stopped and I felt his warm hug from my back. My heart swells and suddenly feel like crying until I can't hold it anymore. I immediately face Jisoo and return his hug. I'm sobbing on his shoulders while he's carefully caressing my back. There are no words needed, we can completely understand each other kahit na walang magsalita saming dalawa. We stayed in that position, no one's breaking the silence only the drops of water from the faucet and my sobs are heard in the kitchen. I am grateful that he's here, I am grateful that I have a wonderful friend like him. Hindi ko yata makakakaya na walang masandalan sa mga ganitong klaseng pagkakataon. I'm so happy that Joshua is here to prevent me from breaking down. I need his strength to hold me. I broke the hug after few minutes and smiled at him.

"Thank you"

"I can't wipe your tears Yoon, mas lalo kang iiyak dahil naggayat ako nang sibuyas. Here use my shirt and blow your nose"

-natawa ako sa sinabi nya at hinampas sya nang carrot na nahagip ko sa lababo.

"That was gross, why would I blow my nose into someone's shirt? I'm not a kid"

-pinunasan kona lang ang mga luha ko gamit ang kamay ko. He placed his hands on my sides and stared at me.

"Listen. Everything's going to be fine Han. Trust me, baka nagpapalamig lang si Gyu, it must be hard for him witnessing your Ex being mischievous around you like that"

-tumango tango ako sa kanya. It is clear to me that he has a valid reason for doing this.

"I have never seen this side of him before. Kaya sa tingin ko naninibago lang ako. This is the first time na may pinag selosan sya kaya sa tingin ko kailangan kopa nang mas malawak na pag intindi. This is just a challenge in our relationship right?"

"Right. Just so you know... Andito lang ako palagi. Run to me whenever you're having a hard time. You can count on me"

"And that makes you the best bestfriend in the world Hong"

-he smiled and leaned closer to kiss my forehead.

"I love you"

"I love you more Joshuya. Please wag ka munang mag gi girlfriend, kailangan pa kita"

-he chuckled and hissed at me.

"Okay. But I need my permission to flirt around"

"Just flirt?"

-tumango sya sakin.

"Wala pakong balak mag seryoso sa buhay. So flirting will do"

"Sure. After all you're good at it"
