play date

       saturday came faster than Erisa was expecting. on a Saturday morning, she found herself preparing, looking for an outfit and making herself look presentable instead of finishing her untouched requirements.

napabuntong hininga naman siya ng marinig ang walang tigil na pagtunog ng telepono niya, hudyat na nandiyan na ang sundo niya sa labas.

rolling her eyes, she grabbed her phone, rejecting the call as she exited her unit and hurrying her way out of her place.

"hey.." agad naman siyang napatingala at napangiti sa binata, a sudden rush of joy flowing in her system as Jaemin flashed her a grin.

"hi, good morning." she greeted, throwing herself at him as he catched her and trapped her in a tight embrace.

"you good?" Jaemin asked as he let go of the hug with Erisa nodding in response.

"nag almusal kana?" tanong ulit ni Jaemin, even smiling as he started the engine.

umiling naman ang dalaga, she didn't have time to cook that morning dahil maaga din siyang sinundo ni Jaemin.

"wala pa." she responded after putting her seatbelt on.

immediately, Jaemin started driving. "saan mo gustong kumain?"

agad naman siyang napatingin sa binata. sometimes Erisa wonders if Jaemin is now serious. they've been hanging out for a couple of months already, about to hit their third month by next week.

and now, she doesn't know what to feel.

a lot happened inside that two months they spend together.

the first month was nothing to Erisa, para lang silang naglalaro, tamang landi, parang nagpapalipas oras lang, kung baga sandalan ang isa't isa pag bored.

but things changed somehow.

Jaemin is persistent. sobrang consistent din sa mga actions niya. for two months, he never failed to give her good morning and goodnight messages, the updates never vanish and the constant dates are still there.

kahit gaano ka busy, Jaemin always find ways to spend time or just to simply check on her. and man, Jaemin is made out of surprises and efforts.

parang nakalimutan na niyang nakikala niya si Jaemin sa isang party.

sometimes, he surprises her with flowers, he would often leave notes and treats in her locker, minsan si Jaemin mismo pumupunta sa building niya dahil miss na daw siya nito, hatid sundo din siya ni Jaemin. Sometimes, he would just arrive in her condo with food in hand, o hindi kaya magigising nalang siya at maabutan si Jaemin na nagluluto sa kusina niya.

and it was wonderful. the way Jaemin cares and makes her laugh is totally something else.

and Erisa just woke up one day, finding herself unsure with the foreign yet familiar feeling tugging her heart.

"Love...?" Jaemin chuckled upon seeing Erisa in daze, just straight up staring at him.

he found himself almost cooing as Erisa, blinked, then coughing when she catched herself staring at him.

she's beautiful. and Jaemin couldn't believe he made a catch on Erisa Nakahana.

"what?" he smiled in amusement, ang cold pakinggan ni Erisa. para bang hindi niya nahuling nakatitig ito sa kanya.
