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...

As I closed the door behind me, I saw Kai sitting in front of the grand piano at the corner of the huge living room. I was able to hear the last keys of the beautiful melody he was playing before he stopped and turned his head to meet my eyes.
Napaigtad ako sa lamig ng pagkakatitig nya saken. At saglit akong hindi kumilos sa kinatatayuan ko. Dahan-dahang tumayo si Kai at naglakad papalapit sakin.
His eyes traveled up and down my body. Until his eyes stopped on my wrist. Naiwan parin palang nakalislis ang manggas ng suot kong hoodie, enough to show the bracelet that I'm wearing. Pagkatapos ay bumalik ang tingin nya sa mukha ko.
"San ka galing? " tiim-bagang na tanong nya.
I met his stone cold stare.
"I-I had breakfrast with a friend... " my last words ended in a whisper. Pakiramdam ko ay may nagawa akong kasalanan.
"A friend... That Italian CEO of a friend." Pag-uulit ni Kai sa huling sinabi ko ng may halong sarcasm. At parang nagtayuan ang mga balahibo ko sa katawan sa sobrang lamig ng pagkakasabi nya nyon.
Matapos ang ilang araw na pag-iwas nya sakin? Heto sya ngayon, acting as if he cares about what I do and who I meet? Para tuloy akong sasabog nung maalala ko ang lahat ng yun.
"Ano naman sayo kung sya yung kasama ko? Wala kaming ginagawang masama."
"Pero tumakas ka. " Kai stated coldly. At pakiramdam ko ay para akong maninigas sa lamig ng titig nya.
"Th-that's...."
Nag-angat si Kai ng kilay.
"The mere fact that you sneak out just to meet your friend only proves that you, yourself, know that you shouldn't have done that."
I bit my lip dahil ang lahat ng sinabi ni Kai ay tama.
Kai stood silent for a moment. And then he sighed.
"You've changed. You're nothing to me now but a hopeless lovesick puppy. Had I known that you're gonna be as useless as this. Hindi na sana ako humingi ng tulong sayo. Let's stop wasting each other's time......... Leave. " he said coldly.
Natulala ako ng sabihin nya yon. Kai walked pass me and our shoulders brushed. And then he was gone.
Para akong sinampal sa magkabilang pisngi. Parang tumigil saglit yung mundo ko. Malinaw sakin na hindi ito ang gusto kong mangyare. I haven't done anything to help just yet!
I know Kai has been so busy dealing with the problems of the clan. Mga problemang ako mismo ang may gawa at syang sinalo nya nung naupo sya bilang bagong komicho.
And here I was, doing nothing. He let me continue to have my current life despite the situation and consequences we're going to face. He even made a deal with me kahit na alam kong wala iyon sa bokabularyo ni Kai. And yet...
