21 - Narration

S A V A N N A H

I stared at my painting as I try to figure out what's missing. I did draw the message that I want to share pero hindi ko malaman kung ano bang kulang. It's actually my second day finishing my painting. Di pa siya complete and naka ilan na din akong trial and error.

Nasa Art Club ako. May iilan akong kasama dito na gaya ko ay tinatry tapusin ang isasubmit nilang painting as a design for the wall.

The president of the club decided that we should use our pen name as the code for our design. Through voting kasi ang pagpili ng mga designs. The officers don't want the crowd to be bias with popularity kaya gusto nila ay pen name para anonymously  ang Top 10 na designs na mapipili na ipe-paint sa walls ng school. I really want mine to be one of the ten designs. Kasi kung may isang bagay akong mahal bukod kay baby jaehyun, ayon ang painting.

I heard the club room's door opened and closed. I even heard some of the people around me gasps lightly. Diko binigyan non ng pansin bagkos tinitigan pa lalo ang painting ko.

"What's missing?" I unconsciously asked myself nang titigan ko ang aking painting.

"Lunch." agad akong napalingon sa likodan ko at napatayo mula sa kinauupuan ng makita si Jaehyun oppa na nakatitig sa painting ko. He was holding a paper bag in one of his hands while the other one hold a bottled water.

"B-Baby Jaehyun!" I said in surprise as I tried to hide my painting for him. I even blushed at the thought of him seeing my painting.

The corner of his lips lifted a bit, "what are you doing here? Bawal ka dito!" bulyaw ko habang patuloy na tinatakpan ang painting ko.

"Don't worry, i'm not even voting." he said as he slowly place the paper bag in one of the table.

I slowly moved away from my painting and tried fixing my hair. Paniguradong magulo 'to dahil sinasabunutan ko yung sarili ko kanina while i'm trying to squeeze out some ideas out of my tired brain.

"You brought me food." I stated the obvious as I look at the paper bag. Tumango lang si Jaehyun oppa bago may kinuha sa loob ng paper bag. He pulled out a pack of wet wipes then walked towards me.

"Hands." he ordered. I pouted as I willingly held out both of my hands for him. Tumambad sa kanya ang puno ng paints na kamay ko.

Napangiti ako nang simulan niyang linisin ang parehas kong mga kamay. Hindi din matigil ang puso ko sa pagtibok ng mabilis. He knew my hands would be dirty so he brought wipes with him? Isn't that cute?

"You shouldn't skip lunch."

"So sweet of you to bring me some lunch here yourself, Attorney." I said while smirking.

He looked at me for a while as I saw a hint of pink over his fair cheeks. I almost chuckled at his cuteness but I tried hard to stop myself.

"Jaerin was worried and asked me to take this to you." sabi niya. Napanguso naman ako ng mapagtanto na di naman pala siya ang kusang loob na nagdala nito.

Pero I smiled again afterwards and gave him a smug look.

"Okay lang. Dinalhan mo parin ako. Say thank you to Jaerin later for me." I said. Tumango siya at sakto namang natapos niya nang punasan ang dalawa kong kamay.

He smirked as he pulled two pieces of wet wipes again. Kumunot ang noo sa kanyang ginawa pero natigilan ng hawakan ni Jaehyun oppa ang mukha ko at nakangising punasan ang ilang parte noon.

Nakakahiya! I have painting all over my face and I probably look dumb!

Nakanguso ako nang matapos siyang linisin ang mukha ko. He smirked and tapped my cheeks once, "i'll go ahead. Eat your lunch okay?"

Hindi na niya hinintay pa ang sasabihin ko at lumakad na paalis sa room. Napangiti ako habang pinapanood na paalis si Jaehyun oppa. Everyone else were staring too.

Mayabang ang ekspresyon kong binuksan ang lunch na dala niya at kinain na yon. Kanina naman diko ramdam ang gutom pero ngayon, kahit ata madami to mauubos ko e.
