I Am Me (Completed)

Chapter LI

Soo's POV

Mabilis na lumipas ang ilang oras. 

Ang nasa isip ko lang, makikita ko na si Mark.

My mind is not functioning well. I just found myself walking to the parking lot. Ni hindi ko nga maalala kung nakapag paalam ako kay Hana bago ako umalis. 

He was waiting for me at my spot when I approached him.

I smiled at him while staring at his face. 

Exhaustion is so visible on his face. 

At ayokong dagdagan pa ang stress niya. 

Seryoso niya lang akong pinagmasdan na parang alam niya yung mga nangyayari netong mga nakaraan.

"You were crying when you dropped the call earlier babe." Bungad niya.

"What's wrong?" tanong niya.

Nginitian ko siya saka siya niyakap. "Nothing's wrong love. I just missed you so much." 

God knows how hard I tried to make myself sound normal. 

Ayoko talagang maramdaman niyang may mali. 

"Baby you know I know you right? So well. I won't force you to tell me but remember that I'm always here. I'll always be here. Alright?" Tumango tango naman ako sa kanya. Hearing this from him makes me wanna cry but I chose not to. I don't want him to worry. 

Kahit na gustong gusto ko nang magsumbong sa  kanya. Gusto kong isumbong sa kanya yung pinagagagawa ng baliw niyang fan, I still won't do that. I know how stressed and pressured he is from the upcoming comeback so as long as kaya ko pa, I'll fix this myself. I'm not that selfish.

Wala akong ginawa kundi ang magpahinga sa bisig niya. Hinayaan niya lang ako hanggang sa ako na ang kusang bumitaw. 

"Where do you want to go?" He asked while driving. 

"Anywhere with you." Honest kong sagot sa kanya.

"Let's get some groceries and then let's stay home. I'll cook for you. How's that?" Nakangiting tumango ako sa kanya.

True to his words, He cooked for me and stayed with me til I decided to stay overnight.

I know how worried he is and I can't blame him. I barely talk. I'm not usually like this. But still, he tried to understand and didn't ask anything.

One thing I like about him. He never force me to do things. 

The next day, I didn't have to worry about my clothes since Mark gave me a space for my own stuffs on his closet. And he has his own space in my closet as well. He drove me to the office. I let him take my car since he said he's picking me up again tonight. I know how busy he is but still makes time for me. 

I truly appreciate that. 

Nung makapasok ako sa office, sinalubong ako ni Hana with two cups of coffee in her hands. Hindi ko pa man nailalapag ang bag ko, hinila na niya ko sa labas ng office. 

"What?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Another box was delivered eonni."

"And?"

"It's from the same person. I opened it. I know it's rude since it's not for me but.."

"What?" Bakit ba binibitin pa niya? Tsk.
