I now know exactly where I am- Kumunoy

Lapitan ko kaya? I feel like talking to someone tonight. Schoolmate ko naman to.

"Sejun kanina pa nakatingin sayo yun, pansinin mo kaya"

Tiningnan nya kung sino ang ininguso ni Josh.

"I remember that kid, schoolmate ko yata, muntik ko ng matapunan ng kape last time."

"Never seen him before, bago lang yan dito"

"Curious ka Josh?"

"Ikaw ba hindi?"

He just smiled.

Then he noticed a change on the kid's expression when someone approached him. Kilala nya rin tong bagong dating, in fact kilalang kilala nya.

Sejun found himself walking towards the kid's table.

"Brent! Hey"

"Sejun! hey"

Tinapik nya sa balikat si Brent. He is a fellow engineering student, they have the same circle of friends.

He looked at Brent's hand on the kid's shoulder. May diin. May galit.

"Easy Brent, balato mo na lang sa kin to"

"Kilala mo? May atraso sa kin to"

"Ako na bahala"

"Sige, you owe me one"

"Sure Brent, ako pa ba?"

Naupo sya nang umalis si Brent.

"Muntikan ka na don 'Dre" Sejun leaned on the chair and crossed his legs. "Ano ba ginawa mo?"

"Wala po akong atraso dun" he innocently answered.

"Wow may po, please drop the po kuya" He extended his hand for a handsake. "I'm Sejun"

"I'm Justin."

"Ah nice name"
Sejun noticed his cold hand, almost freezing. "Nilalamig ka ba? O ninerbyus?"

"Hindi ah" Both. "Sa Asian U ka din Sejun?"

"Yes engineering, ga-graduate na, ikaw?"

"3rd Year, Multimedia Arts"

"Nice"

"Future Engineer ka pala, that's nicer"

"Hopefully, anyway nakapag bill-out ka na ba? Alis tayo"

Nagulat sya sa tanong na yun ni Sejun.
"Ha?"

"Unless you want to stay here with Brent and his friends"

Justin looked at Brent's table, he's with some friends already.

"S-saan tayo pupunta Sejun?"

"Saan mo ba gusto Justin?"
