Seoul, South Korea.

"Where are you going?" Tanong ng kaibigan ko, tanaw ang isang duff bag at maliit na suit case.

"Chicago ulit, I'll visit my grandparents" sagot ko habang pumipili ng damit na dadalhin.

"Can I go with you? You'll stay there for weeks? Wala akong magawa dito. I just resigned from my agency, lilipat ako sa agency mo" saad nito sabay ayos sa kanyang salamin.

"As long as you pay your expenses this time because the last time you came made me broke for like two weeks" iling kong saad dito. Last na sama ni Wonwoo sakin ay ako ang nagbayad ng expenses nya, nawala kasi yung wallet nya while we were at the airport. Lahat ng cards nya ay nandon.

"Binayaran kita after that travel" annoyed nitong balik sakin.

"Haha Sure okay Mister" asik ko sabay lakad papalapit sakanya. Humilata din ako sa kama ko sabay sipa kay Wonwoo paalis.

"Thalassa! Ang sakit ng pwet ko!"

"I'll edit some photos, go away shoo" pagtataboy ko dito. Inayos ko muna ang comforter ko habang tumayo na siya sa pagkakaupo.

"Sige aalis na muna ako, bibili ako ng film para sa polaroid. Bukas alis natin?" saad nito sabay lakad papunta sa pintuan.

"Yes tomorrow 11am. Take care Woo! Luv u!"

"Luv u din, tsk!" sinirado na nya ang pintuan na hawak hawak ang pwetan. Tinawanan ko nalang ito sabay kuha sa Macbook ko, hindi para mag edit. Kundi tingnan yung kuha ko last two years ago. I lied to Wonwoo just to get him out of my room. We both live in the same condominium by the way.

I opened a folder entitled "Illinois '15". Two photos showed up. The two photos is the man I met last year. Seo Youngho. I did not bother to look for his social medias. Busy ako sa trabaho ko as a photographer in JYP Entertainment. Wonwoo is a photographer too in YG Entertainment for 3 years na. He's 2 years older than me, trainee din siya sa same agency na pinasukan ko pero ahead ng 1 year.

I was a trainee in a photography agency for 2 years while studying. I was 17 years old then when someone from a known agency for photographers scouted me to be their trainee. Hindi ako pinayagan ng mama ko dahil makaka apekto daw ito sa pag-aaral ko pero I took the risk. Ngayon kahit 19 pa ay part na ako ng Clique Team ng JYP habang nag aaral ng arts and photography.

I went to Chicago, Illinois last year 2015 to visit and to seek advice from my grandparents na pareho ding professional photographers. Days after pagkauwi ko ay natanggap ako bilang photographer sa one of the top 3 entertainments in Korea, JYP Entertainment.

I scanned the whole picture. The photos were simple..Simple but unique. The way his eyes sparkled with amusement and sadness, was something I just can't forget. The way he lost his smile during the fireworks display slightly pained something inside me. I wonder where he is now.

Dahil wala naman akong magawa ay nag open ako sa instagram app ko saka ko tinype ang pangalan nito, maraming lumabas pero hindi naman siya ang mga photos dito. I tried twitter pero same lang din sa IG ay hindi ko mahanap ang account nya.

Itinigil ko nalanga ang pagiging stalker ko saka pinagpatuloy ang pag empake.

5pm natapos ko ang lahat ay lumabas na ako sa kwarto para pumunta sa sala, saktong pagdating din ni Wonwoo galing sa Digital shop, bitbit ang dalawang paper bag.

"Bat ang tagal mo?" Tanong ko dito ng nilapag nya ang dalawang paper bag sa coffee table sa sala namin.

"Binilhan din kita ng films, tsaka may nadaanan akong Shop kanina" sabi nito sabay kinuha ang isang box sa paper bag. Yan yung instant camera na pinag-iipunan ko. Not that my parents can't afford it, pero gusto kong sarili kong sweldo ang gagamitin ko pambili nito.
