"Naandito ako sa harap mo, sa akin ka tumingin 'wag sa cellphone mo."

"At sino ka para pagsabihan ako?"

"Ako si Min Yoongi. May karapatan akong pagsabihan ka." Inirapan ko siya at agad naman siyang tumawa.

Ang lalaking nasa harapan ko, tumatawa at halos mawala na ang mga mata, siya nga.

"Tawang-tawa?"

"Oo." hindi pa rin siya tumigil sa pagtawa kaya hinayaan ko nalang siya. May saltik siguro 'to.

"Tatawa ka pa kaya kung sabihin kong mas cute 'yong Jimin guy kesa sayo?" tumigil siya sa pagtawa at tumingin sa akin.

"Pfft. What a childish act." sabi ko at marahang napatawa. "Don't worry, even though he's quite cute, I'll choose you over him." tiningnan ko ang reaksyon niya at mas lalo akong napatawa.

"Joke lang." ako naman ang tawa ng tawa. Nung napansin ko na seryoso na ang pagmumukha niya, dahan-dahan akong napatigil hanggang sa wala nang umiimik sa aming dalawa.

I stared at him. I can barely see his face because of the face mask he's wearing but I can easily comprehend that he has great features. Maybe that's one of the reason on why he's attracting a lot of people?

"So are we just going to stare at each other?" I said, breaking the silence.

"Shiri."

I flinched. I'll be honest, the sound of his voice when he calls my name, i like it.

"Why?" tanong ko. Hindi ko maiwasang mailang dahil nakatingin parin siya sa akin.

Nang hindi siya sumagot, iniwas ko ang gawi at nilipat ang atensyon ko sa mga pagkain na nakahain sa harap naming dalawa. Nasa isang home restaurant kami ngayon, ako ang nag-suggest nitong lugar dahil dito kami kumain last time na bumisita kami ng Korea. The foods are superb and the couple who runs the restaurant are greatly hospitable and kind.

"Hindi ka ba kakain? I will be the one to pay so you should not hold yourself back." sabi ko.

"Ako ang magbabayad." sabi naman niya.

"No. I will."

"Ako na." pagpupumilit niya.

"Gosh Min Yoongi! We will share the cost so whatever." I said keeping my voice down.

"Why are you so moody all of the sudden?" I whispered to myself.

"Shiri."

"Ano na naman?" tanong ko at saka tumingin na sa mga mata niya.

"I..." he hesitated for bit before he continued. "I like you."

My body froze and I can't seem to suddenly control my breathing. I am slowly drowning in his deep orbs as I felt emerging sensation throughout my system. Every nerve in me is tingling in delight that even from the smallest point to biggest point is in pure bliss and great satisfaction.

I like you.

I like you.

I like you. The voice still echoing the same line over and over.

"Y-yeah. I think you do."

I can feel my cheeks heating up. I just hope he wouldn't notice how much affected I am by his words, much more his appeal and personality. That would be embarrassing for me.

Memories from the time he noticed me until now that he's with me, is clearly flowing inside my head, replaying the moments we've had even through the dm's or anything.

Who would've thought? That I'll be experiencing this kind of bliss? That I'll be noticed and be liked by a charming, beautiful creature that's here with me?

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. "Do you really like me? Like really, really, really like me?"

Tumango siya. Tinanggal niya ang suot niyang face mask na ikinagulat ko.

"Y-yah! Baka may makakita sayo!" nag-aalalang sabi ko sa kanya.

"Gusto kita, Shiri. Ikaw at ikaw lang."

"B-baka! That's not the case now. You could be seen by someone!"

"I don't mind being seen with you. You are worth the risk, Shiri." He is intently looking in my eyes. Wala akong ibang nagawa kundi ang tumungo. Napahawak ako sa laylayan ng suot kong coatdress.

I can't describe what am I feeling right now. It's mixed and I can't do anything with it. It is very overwhelming.

This guy. He said that I'm worth it. That is just absurd. For him to be in that extent, who am I to demur his overflowing feelings?

"In that case, I will be also taking the risk. I've been thinking this through by using logical approach but I've had enough. I will face it forward this time."  humarap ako sa kanya at ngumiti.

"Min Yoongi."

By just calling his name makes me quiver in delight. Ah, I'm done. I am officially into this guy. I may have doubted him before but not now, not today. Because today, I'm sure now.

"I like you too."

FIN.
