PLAY DATE. n, jaemin

096

erisa nakahana

       as planned, ilang minuto ang nakalipas, nasa labas na ng condo yung sundo ko. dali dali akong lumabas at nilock ang pintuan.

as expected pagkababa ko tumambad agad sa akin ang nagiisang na jaemin, halos mapunit ata ang labi ko sa lawak ng ngiti ko, the sudden rush of joy flowed in my veins just seeing him.

he stood there beautifully, sporting his ripped black jeans, designer navy blue dress shirt and black leather jacket.

how can someone look so ethereal? kahit paghinga niya ang gwapo din.

napansin ata nito na may nakatingin sa kanya kaya agad siyang napatingin sa gawi ko, isang malapad nga ngiti ang binigay niya sa akin habang naglalakad ako palapit sa kanya.

"hi." bati nito sa akin, walang pasabi ay agad ko siyang niyakap.

I feel his arms wrapped around me as he embrace me tightly, making me snuggle even more as I melt into his warmth.

a smile made its way to my lips as I feel jaemin lovingly place a kiss in top of my head, like what he have been doing this past few weeks and man, I sure do love it.

"you look beautiful." he breath out, letting go of the hug.

I stifle a smile as I look up, meeting his eyes, agad din ako napaiwas ng tingin.

the way jaemin look at me, is wholesome. like really. I can see the adoration in his eyes, the way he look at me as if I'm the most precious thing that exist in this whole wide world, and it sure do make me feel fluttered.

"and you're not that bad." ngisi ko sa kanya. hindi ko sasabihin na sobrang gwapo niyang tignan, baka asarin lang niya ako.

he let out a chuckle as he open the car door for me, he also make his way to the driver seat and few seconds later, we're on our way to the party.

tahimik lang kaming naguusap ni jaemin with the soft melody playing from the radio surrounding us.

napatingin naman ako kay jaemin ng bigla niya akong tinawag, "oh?"

"I love you." I almost choke with his sudden confession.

I smile softly, placing my hand on his free hand, squeezing it lightly.

"I know and I do too." medyo pabulong kong sagot.

this past few weeks had been great and I couldn't wish for more better days cause really, what's more better than having jaemin beside me, loving me? graduating probably but that's different matter.

euphoria. everytime I'm with jaemin I'm always in a state of euphoria.

and I never felt this happy before.

I'm loved, I'm treasured, I have someone who looks after me, who take cares of me, who understood me, who's there when I'm down and makes me feel that I'm not alone.

I have jaemin and that makes me so happy.

I think inside those weeks, almost a month, it's safe to say jaemin changed for the better.

he stop hitting on girls who basically throw themselves at him, he learn to ignore those kind of woman and he's showing actions of loyalty.

I learn to trust him and I think that's a start to the second shot in our relationship.

am I whipped? I probably am, theres no point denying, who wouldn't fall for the great na jaemin anyway?

having jaemin is probably one of the best thing that ever happened to me. words aren't enough to describe how grateful I'am that jaemin, the na jaemin, loves me and asked me for a second chance.

no words could describe how lucky I feel.

ang saya ko talaga, panis lahat yung pagod ko pagkasama ko siya. all the problems seems to have solution as long as I'm facing it with him and every second is worth living as long as I'm spending it with him.

for months I've been with jaemin, I'm already so used of having him around, I fell too deep that I'm afraid I'll get lost if I ever lose him.

ramdam ko ang paghawak ni jaemin sa kamay ko kaya napatingin ako sa kanya, I let out a humm and send him a look.

"you're in daze, you okay?" he asked, brows furrowed in concern as he look at me.

napangiti ako ng malawak, my hand travel to his face as I caress his cheeks, looking at him like he's the most fragile thing to ever exist.

he lean into my touch as he look at me, worried, hinawakan niya din yung kamay ko.

"ri?"

"jaem." I called softly

"what is it?"

"I treasure you jaemin." I smiled, ngumiti naman siya pabalik, "I really treasure you na jaemin."
