90 - Narration

J A E H Y U N

It's been a month since that day that I took her home. Hindi na naulit pa 'yon dahil naging abala rin naman ako sa mga kelangan kong pag-aralan. She still annoys me from time to time but last week was peaceful. We haven't seen each other for a week.

Exams kasi, kaya sabi ko sa kanya ay mag-focus muna siya sa mga exams niya bago siya ulit mangulit.

"Himala, walang nangungulit ah?" nilingon ko ng saglit ang lumapit at nagsalita sa may tabihan ko.

Kunot noo kong tinitigan si Minghao na nakangiti lang sa akin. Hindi ko siya pinansin at ibinalik nalang ang tingin sa inaaral ko. They've been pretty close with Savannah since she's been following me around a lot. Madalas din tuloy niyang makasalamuha ang mga kaibigan ko.

"Sungit naman, Jung oppa." Minghao teased at me. I shoot him glares and he quickly raised both of his hands as a gesture of surrender.

"I'm studying, leave me alone." I said sternly. He shrugged his shoulders then stood up.

Wala kaming prof ng dalawang oras kaya mga nakatambay ang ilan kong kaklase sa harap ng room namin. Some of them were inside and talking about things that I don't know. Imbis na makipag-kulitan sa kanila ay naisipan ko nalang magbasa basa.

I flipped the page of the book that I'm reading when I felt someone sat beside my chair.

"Leave." I said without looking at the person.

Natigil lang ang pagbabasa ko nang marinig ko ang marahang halakhak sa tabihan ko.

"Sungit naman?" nilingon ko si Kisha na nakangiti na sa akin.

She have her head tilted and her eyes focusing at mine. Napawi ang kunot kong noo dahil akala ko sila Jungkook ang umupo sa tabihan ko kaya ko sinungitan.

"Mian, I thought it was Jeon." I said casually then went back reading.

I gulped and cleared my throat when I felt a little embarassed because of how I behave. Well, I'm not exactly close with Kisha but we tends to spend some time together since I'm the president of our department and our classroom. She's my vice president and she's very reliable.

"Ano binabasa mo? Sipag ah?" she started conversing with me once again.

Hindi ko na siya nilingon at inangat nalang ang libro para ipakita sa kanya kung ano ang binabasa ko.

"Oh, maganda? Should I buy it too?" She asked. Tumango nalang ako dahil maganda naman talaga ang librong binabasa ko.

We were left silent again and I didn't mind. Not to sound rude but I actually kind of want her to leave me alone. I don't have anything against Kisha. She's very nice but I just don't want false rumors spreading again about us. Minsan na rin kasi kaming na-issue nang mapansin na madalas kaming magkasama.

"A-Ano Jaehyun..." I turn my head towards her when she started talking once again.

"Hm?" I hummed asking her what she wanna tell me.
