Stripped (Moonsun AU) (Stripped Series #1) [UNDER EDITORIAL]

Chapter 79

Endgame?

Third POV

After waving goodbye kila Hyejin at Wheein na papasok sa loob ng airport. Hindi inalis ni Yongsun ang tingin sa dalawa, hanggang sa hindi na ito matanaw ng mga mata ni Yongsun. Them, finally leaving the area. She turned around saw Jinyoung waiting patiently for her.

It's been a long time since.. they've started dating. Or shall we say, parang ganun na nga. Dahil simula nang magcelebrate sila para sa newly debut ni Yongsun sa Forbes International. Eh palagi na nga itong niyaya magdinner ni Jinyoung whenever they had a chance on their free time.

Hindi naman totally na nasa dating stage na ang dalawa, dahil hanggang ngayon ay pinupursue parin ito ng ligaw ni Jinyoung kahit na pwede na niyang tanungin at hingiin ang kamay ni Yongsun para maging official niyang girlfriend.

Para kay Yongsun, hindi naman mahirap kilalanin at mahalin si Jinyoung. Pinapatunayan naman niya kung gaano siya kaseryoso kay Yongsun, by just being patient and not pressuring her to enter to a new relationship.

Dahil puno rin ng respeto si Jinyoung ay hindi nito magawang magtake advantage o gumawa ng move pag naiiwan ang dalawa na sila lang ang magkasama.

One thing she liked the most about him.

Totoo ngang kakaiba si Jinyoung sa mga lalaking nakilala niya sa business noon.

The man she deserved to have.

Na hindi maiwasang ikumpara ni Yongsun sa taong labis na minahal niya noon.

While walking slowly papunta sa nakatayong si Jinyoung, na kasalukuyang naghihintay sakanya palabas ng airport.

She tried to look back, took a glance and suddenly a question pops into her mind.

"Kamusta... na kaya si Byul?"

She shook her head and tried to concentrate, but another question comes after.

"Pag bumalik ako ng pinas. Hindi naman siguro kami magkikita diba?"

Getting frustrated by the same person who keeps bothering her thoughts. Hindi lang naman si Byul ang tao sa pinas. Kaya bakit pinipigilan niyang bumalik sa bansang iyon?

Matigas ns lumingon ito pabalik kay Jinyoung atsaka nginitian ito, knowing she still has Jinyoung, who will help her forget everything.

Even Byul.

While leaving the airport, aksidenteng nagtama naman ang mga kamay nila, dahilan para magkatitigan ang dalawa at maging awkward sa isa't isa.

Sa tagal nilang magkasama ay hindi pa nila natatry magholding hands. Kaya ganito na lamang ang reaksyon ng dalawa. Kahit na maituturing close na, hindi parin nila magawang maging affectionate sa isa't isa. Dahil masyadong gentleman si Jinyoung at gusto niya maging comfortable muna si Yongsun sakanya.

Sabay namang napangiti ang dalawa at umiling iling nalang bago ito tuluyang lumabas ng airport at tumungo sa nakapark na kotse ni Jinyoung, para tuluyan nang sumakay sa loob.

Inunahan naman ni Jinyoung si Yongsun para pagbuksan ito ng pinto ng kotse at mabilis na lumipat sa kabilang side, para tumungo sa driver seat. Pagkatapos niyang makitang nakasakay na si Yongsun sa loob ng kotse.

"So where do you want to go?" Jinyoung asked gently bago simulang paganahin ang makina ng sasakyan.

Without looking at him, Yongsun smiled. Nang maisipang mag roadtrip nalang muna bago sila tuluyang umuwi sakanilang mga condo.

"Anywhere. I know this isn't the first time na magroroadtrip tayo. But first, let me cleanse my mind and clear off any thoughts. To think carefully before making such decisions." Yongsun replied, but she isn't smiling anymore. She has a serious look on her face.

After leaving the parking lot and drove off away from it. Jinyoung started to focus on the road, but still stealing glances to the person who is currently on the passenger seat. "Okay. Just know, I'm patiently waiting. Okay? Hindi naman ako nagmamadali, Yongsun. Kaya hindi mo kailangang ipressure ang sarili mo sakin." Jinyoung said smiling while driving the car.

For Jinyoung, Yongsun being with him is more than enough. He clearly didn't want to expect anything in return. Before, he only wanted to help her. Because he liked Yongsun and only developed his feelings throughout the time.

Ang lubos na pinagsasalamatan ni Yongsun. Dahil may isang katulad ni Jinyoung na nagpatunay sakanyang hindi lahat ng lalaki ay bastos at walang respeto.

Slowly, she turned her head to left. And saw the man she supposed to have. The man who helped her achieved everything. The man who didn't easily gave up. The man who didn't leave her side. Deserve ni Jinyoung si Yongsun. At deserve din naman ni Yongsun ang katulad ni Jinyoung.

It took her a couple of seconds while staring at Jinyoung before she could finally answer. She looked down and saw the ring she was wearing.

It was the same ring Byul had given to her.

Their promise ring.

She took a deep breath and thought for a moment.

The ring once reminded her of their love again.

"In case, we don't end up together. Will you keep this ring?"

She remembered the first time Jinyoung had took her out for a dinner.

And she said yes.

So, she wore the ring right after.

And continued wearing it until now.

"Jinyoung? What if, sabihin kong hindi mo na kailangang maghintay pa?" She looked back, once again. To the man who was driving the car.

Her answered made Jinyoung turned to looked at her and saw Yongsun peacefully smiling at him.

He smiled back. Thinking he finally got an answer from Yongsun.
