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

Chapter 83

Granted wish

Third POV

"Hey... ang tahimik mo. What's the matter?" Jinyoung asked, noticing the deep silence between them. While peacefully driving the car.

Mag aalas otso na at alas syete ng gabi niya sinundo si Yongsun sa office kanina. Pero throughout the trip, ni wala man lang isa sakanila ang umimik at sinubukang magingay.

Ganito lang naman lagi ang eksena nilang dalawa pag magkasama. Magroroadtrip, magdidinner date. Going places to anywhere, na magustuhan o matripan nilang puntahan.

Chill and being lowkey.

For Yongsun, this is what it felt like being with Jinyoung.

Peace, calm and quiet.

Unlike to the other person,

Na sobrang kasalungat at kabaligtaran when it comes to Byul.

Being with Byul? Is like riding a rollercoaster. Fun, exciting and scary at the same time.

But one thing for sure, Yongsun likes adventure more than a safe haven.

Flashback

"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.

"Ms. Yongsun Kim? Thanks for being honest." he replied and finally acknowledged his own defeat.

Yongsun didn't want anything more than what they have right now.

In short, Yongsun doesn't want to commit.

Clear and honest.

He respected her decision.

End of the flashback.

"Jinyoung? Stop the car. Ang ganda ng view dito oh." Yongsun commanded after seeing how great the view is.

Sa mga oras na'to, konti nalang ang mga dumadaan na sasakyan sa kalsadang ito. Safe naman dumaan dito kahit medyo nasa tuktok na sila ng mountain alley. Hindi naman din nakakaluwa dahil sobrang ganda ng view sa taas at kitang kita mo ang buong city dito.

The car suddenly stopped and parked on the right side. May mga nakaharang na railings malapit sa bangin at safety measures kaya wala naman masyadong maaksidente dito at mahuhulog kung maiingat ka.

Sa sobrang excited ay nauna nang bumaba si Yongsun at sumunod naman si Jinyoung. Sumandal naman bigla si Yongsun sa may kotse para dito nalang tignan ang magandang view at nagsimula nang mag stargazing. Tulad niya, ay ginawa din ito ni Jinyoung.

"You really do like looking at the stars, huh?" Jinyoung asked while looking at the woman beside him. Who were watching stars in the sky.

Simula nang makapagdesisyon si Yongsun sa status nila dati. They remained friends. Both focused on their work and businesses. Kaya hindi na ulit ito niyaya pa ni Jinyoung na makipagdate sakanya. Dahil nirerespeto niya ang naging desisyon ni Yongsun.

Mabuti ay naging honest siya sa nararamdaman niya para dito. Dahil kahit gaano katagal o kalayo. Alam ni Yongsun na iisa lang ang taong para sakanya.

Kahit pa na matabunan ng galit at sama ng loob ang puso niya.

Isang tao lang makakapagpatibok ulit nito.

"Yeah. Literally." she was referring to Byul.

Cause looking at Byul is worth than looking at these beautiful stars.

"Hey! Look!" biglang wika ni Jinyoung habang may tinuturo sa langit.

"Huh?" Yongsun was confused. Wala siyang ideya kung ano ang tinuturo nito.

"A shooting star!" he proclaimed.Still pointing at it, lumingon ito kay Yongsun atsaka ngumiti. "And you know what that means?" mas lalo pang lumawak ang ngiti niya sa naguguluhang si Yongsun.

"Make a wish. Quick!" he added, habang natataranta. Dahil baka mamissed nila ang once in a lifetime na experience na ito.

Both closed their eyes and silently whispered their desire and wishes.

Pero isa lang ang mas nangibabaw sa mga hiling ni Yongsun.

To end up with Byul,

Is the only thing she'd longed in this lifetime.

Pagkabukas pareho ng mata. Kusa namang naglaho ang shooting star, na sa tingin nila ay dumaan na at nakalagpas.

Then, she remembered. Ano kaya ang hiniling ni Jinyoung? Yongsun knew she's not in the position to asked this, but she wanted atleast to know. Out of curiosity. "What did you wish?" she asked.

Hindi naman ito ineexpect ni Jinyoung na magtatanong ang katabi niya ngayon, kung ano man ang hiniling nito. "My wish? I didn't expect you'd asked. Haha." he replied, laughing at her.

Sinapak naman ito ng mahina ni Yongsun dahil seryoso siyang nagtatanong kay Jinyoung pero parang pabiro lang ang naging tugon nito. "Ano nga?" tanong ulit ni Yongsun na nangungulit at gustong malaman talaga kung ano ang hiniling ni Jinyoung.

"Your worth. For all the things that you deserve, I hope someone will put you first." Fast and accurate. He delivered it, for Yongsun to know.

Even if he's not the one, Jinyoung wanted Yongsun to end up with someone who knows her worth.

"Jinyoung, I-im sorry. I gave you nothing. Ang dami mo nang nagawa para sakin..." nauutal na sambit ni Yongsun dahil hindi niya alam kung paano pa niya masusuklian ang lahat ng tulong na ibinigay ni Jinyoung sakanya.

"Hmm? You know what... It's okay. You dont have to repay everything I've done. I didn't love you and helped you, just because I was expecting something in return. Wala namang pumilit saking gawin ang lahat ng iyon. Ang tulungan ka. Masaya na akong nakilala ka in a short period of time, Ms. Kim Yongsun. And if there is something I'd be thankful of? Yun ay ang binigyan mo ako ng chance na makilala ka." being gentleman as he is, sportsmanship is also the best to described him.

He knew Yongsun likes to be somewhere else, and be with someone who isn't him.

And he truly accepted this fate.

That he is not meant for Yongsun.
