"Yuta, come on," sabi ni Taeyong oppa nang naglalakad kami ni Yuta-nii pauwi.
Nagulat ako dahil sinusundan pala niya kami. Kasama niya pa si Jaehyun at Lucas. Para bang gusto nila siyang kausapin, kaya naman ay ninais ko nalang na gumilid but hinawakan ako ni Yuta-nii.
"Nii... I mean, oppa. You need to talk," sabi ko, at umiling naman siya.
"I can't talk yet, Vernice. I don't want it to affect you," sabi niya, and I widened my eyes.
"So you're ignoring them because of me?!" Tanong ko, at nagulat silang lahat. They were all staring at me, pero wala na akong pakialam. "They're your friends, nii-chan! You should stay with them even if you feel down. They will be there for you! You tell me about how lucky having a friend is, but you ignore your friends. Get a life."
Aalis na sana ulit ako, kaya lang ay pinigilan nanaman niya ako.
"Vernice, calm down," sabi ni Yuta-nii, and I took deep breaths. "Calm down, okay? I'm handling this."
"I'm leaving. Talk to them." Sabi ko, at saka ipinilit na ilayo ang sarili ko sa kanya.
Tumakbo ako patungo sa may park at saka nagpunta sa may playground to sit by the swings. May mga bata na nakaupo sa swings kaya nasa tabi lang ako at pinagmamasdan sila.
Yung isang batang lalaki ay nakatingin sa babae at mukhang tinitignan kung sakaling malaglag siya. Mas bata naman yung babae, and mukhang clumsy pa. I smiled sadly.
That reminded me of Yuta-nii and I. His relationship with me is quite complicated. Kaya naman nahihirapan din ako. Why can't Dad just fight for me?
Nagulat naman ako nang biglang may tumabi sa akin. I looked sidewards to see Lucas, kaya naman kumunot ang noo ko.
"Why are you here?" Tanong ko, and then he smiled.
"I trust Yuta hyung. Maybe he has a reason. Naiintindihan ko yun. I just let him and the others talk. Kahit naman anong desisyon niya, iintindihin ko, eh," sagot ni Lucas, shrugging, kaya tumango ako ng dahan-dahan.
If he has such understanding friends, why would he stay away from them kung maiintindihan naman nila ang sitwasyon? He can't just hide from them forever.
"Right," I answered, and then he smiled.
"By the way, you really don't have to tutor me on Maths. I know my Maths. Tinatamad lang talaga ako na mag-effort dahil alam kong papaturo sila Mark pag nakakasagot ako. Saka si Sir Leeteuk kasi, eh," sabi niya, and I furrowed my brows.
"Weh?" Tanong ko, and then he laughed.
"Oo nga. Saka gumagawa lang ako ng paraan para mapalapit sayo. Sabi ko nga sa post ko. Kasi alam kong ikaw yung pinakamagaling sa math, I tried acting like I was dumb. No need naman na kasi nakakausap na kita," sabi niya, and I gaped at him.
"Why would you waste your grades just because of that?" Tanong ko, and then he smirked.
"Because I like you." Pagkasabi niya nun ay agad akong napalingon palayo.
Lucas, Yukhei, Xuxi. Why would he like me? Of course, he'd be lying if he said he did. Bakit ako maniniwala?
He is one of the heartthrobs in school. Pilyo siya pero bagay sa hitsura niya ang pagiging ganun niya. There's something about his aura that just draws a person in, and I'd be lying if I said na even once in my life ay hindi ako nagwapuhan o naapektuhan ng presensya niya.
Lucas Wong will be Lucas Wong.
"Liar," I whispered.
No. He's a liar. He can't like me.
"Watch me," sabi niya.
