SELENE'S

Hello, this is JYP Entertainment.

The mail is in Korean but it has an English translation below it. He got accepted. I didn't even know that he auditioned but he got accepted! I am so happy! This is a step closer to his dreams.

"Selene," lumapit sya sa akin at tila kinakabahan.

"Wow, congratulations!" I mean it. I'm so proud of him. "When did you received this? You didn't even tell me about it but I'm so happy for you," I said as hugged him. He deserves all the best in this world.

"I don't know how to tell you about it," nahihiyang sabi nya. Nahihiya sya! I'm more than proud to him at nahihiya sya?

"So what do you need to do?" I asked him a little scared. I think I know where this is heading. Of course he needs to train! It's an entertainment company in Korea and like almost all the idols from that country, you must undergo training. To be able to do that, Brian needs to go back to Korea.

Shit. Kaya ko ba 'yon?

"I'm actually thinking of just letting it pass," mahina nyang saad. He's not sure?!

"You want this moment to pass? Are you out of your mind, Brian?!" I said raising my voice.

Nagulat siya sa biglang pagtaas ng boses ko. "If I accepts their offer I need to go back to my country! I need to leave you here!" He said proving his point. Tumaas din ng onti ang boses nya. "...and I don't think I can do that," he added almost a whisper.

I looked at him with an unknown emotions. He doesn't want to leave me behind. I'm thankful. I'm more than happy about it but I'm also the reason why he can't pursue his dream.

Gusto niya 'to. Pinapangarap niyang mangyari 'to pero ngayon, ako ang dahilan kung bakit nagdadalawang isip sya.

"Are we alright?" Brian asked while driving. I'm silent the whole trip. We're now headed to Elle's. The owner's sister is having a birthday party and he wanted 5LIVE to perform but then the members are quite packed and Brian is the only one who is available. His performing solo this time.

I glanced at his direction and nodded. I added a smile on my face so he won't worry. I'm still thinking about the argument we had the other night. It bothers me so much.

We arrived at the bar around eight. Elle's was closed for customers right now ngunit pagpasok namin sa loob ay madami pa din ang tao. Hinanap namin si Leo, ang may ari ng lugar na ito.

"Brian Kang, it's been a while," he greeted when he saw the both of us. "Hi there, Selene," I only smiled as a reply.

I noticed I've been silent the whole day. It wasn't really much of a big deal dahil may mga araw talaga na pakiramdam ko ay wala ako sa mood na makipagsocialize sa kahit kanino. Brian clearly knows that side of me but this time, it's different. Something has been going on my mind the reason why I can't focus.

"I want you guys to meet, 3rd Degree," pakilala nya sa tatlong lalaki na lumapit sa amin. Nakatayo lang ako sa tabi ni Brian habang nakikinig sa pinaguusapan nila.

Nakatingin ngayon si Leo sa tatlo, "Brian here," turo nya kay Brian, "is a bassist of the band 5LIVE. They're really good and he compose good songs too," pagmamalaki niya. Ang saya ng pakiramdam ko habang pinapakinggan ang pagpapakilala ni Leo sa boyfriend ko. Kung ako siguro iyon ay baka napagod na ko sa pagpapakilala pa lang, we can talk all night about the things that Brian can do and I don't know if that was even enough.

Naalala ko noong kinantahan ako ni Brian, the trumpet's career went to an end because it's no longer useful. Brian can sing you a song and he can be the instrument too! Ang hitsura ko noong ginawa nya yon, it was priceless! Gulat na gulat kasi ako. Akala ko pa nga dinadaya nya ako.
