PLAY DATE. n, jaemin

074

erisa nakahana

agad akong natigil sa paglalakad ng makita si jaemin na nag hihintay sa labas ng building namin. napabuntong hininga ako, I've been busy this past few days, kahit yung tropa busy din and seeing jaemin is something I don't want right now, I don't need distraction.

but again, peace doesn't last that long.

"erisa." he called, letting out a smile of relieve as he walk closer to me, standing in front of me and for the first time he's actually nervous.

"jaemin."

"hi" he smiled, that famous sweet smile of his again as he hand me a flower. napataas ang kilay ko sa kanya pero tinggap naman yun.

"can I talk to you?" kabado niyang tanong but I just stared emptily at him. although I'm somewhat amuse, I still have a lot of better things to do.

"you're already talking to me." I deadpanned.

he smile uneasily as he rub his nape, his weight shifting from one foot to the other, a mere sign that he's nervous.

"erisa, I really need to talk to you." saad niya, napabuntong hininga naman ako.

"ano pa ang paguusapan? look jaemin, let's stop this game. nakuha mo na si hannah, bakit bumabalik pa sa akin?"

"because I like you, damn it." natigilan ako, I look at him wide eyed and dumbfounded.

what the hell did he just said?

nasabunot naman niya bahagya yung buhok niya ng hindi na ako kumibo, he sighed before pulling me and started walking away.

nakatulala lang akong sumusunod sa kanya. nabingi na ata ako. tama ba yung narinig ko o pinagloloko lang ako ng sarili kong tenga?

jaemin, liking me? tangina?

he just freaking used me! ginamit niya lang ako, now he have hannah back, bakit bigla siyang mag cconfess?! tangina, sino ba pinagloloko niya?!

before I knew it, naka dating na kami sa isang cafe sa tapat ng university, hindi ko parin siya kinibo at tahimik lang akong nakaupo sa harapan niya.

jaemin asked me kung ano daw gusto kong kainin pero hindi ko siya pinansin, I hope he'll see it as a sign na tapos na ako sa laro namin.

napasobra na. he succeeded in using me, I don't want another round. nakakapagod din, sometimes I just want someone to love me. to love me just because of who I'am. pero paano ba? lahat ata yung atensyon lang ang habol, kung kailan may jaemin na sana, tangina ano ba tong' pinagiisip ko.

"here." mahinang saad ni jaemin at tinulak papalapit sa akin ang tasa ng kape.

"erisa..." tawag niya kaya napatingin naman ako sa kanya.

he held his cup tightly as he look at me, staring at me with eyes glistening in desperation.

"what?"

"can you please hear me out?"

"just make it fast." I sighed and with that a small smile make its way to his lips as hope flicker in his eyes.

"look I'm really sorry. I really regret everything pero ngayon seryoso na ako erisa, please, please give me a chance to prove myself." he pleaded.

tumikhim ako ng wala sa oras. I was taken back a little. hindi kasi nakakapaniwala. jaemin is a damned playboy tas sasabihin niyang magseseryoso na siya?

then again, people change. ang rupok ko, pota.

"jaemin naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo?" he nodded eagerly, disididong disidido.

"oo erisa, rinig na rinig and I mean it. mag seseryoso na talaga ako just please, please give me a chance." he begged softly, even holding my hand tightly.

napatingin ako sa kamay namin na magkahawak, a smile unconsciously make its way to my face, his hands are warm.

" okay."

"ha?"

"hatkik. oo kako, I'll give you a chance." napaawang naman ang labi niya at hindi makapaniwalang nakatingin sa akin.

"seryoso?"

"oo nga." I smiled, ang cute niya tignan. "this time, no more games, no more tricks just genuine and real feelings." he nod, smiling widely as he held my hand tightly.

"thank you erisa."
