Chapter 09: Cheating

Chapter 09: Cheating

He's late again. It's okay.

As the days pass by, being used to this world is getting easier than I expected. This is an ideal realm for the people but I am proud that I can see the clear difference between the real and the fake one.

I also learned that the time zone in this world is the opposite of the real world. Kung gabi rito, umaga sa totoong mundo. That's why when we're travelling here at night, umaga ang nadadatnan namin. I was planning to go here in daylight but Haru warned me that I should not. That's why I agreed, though I'm not sure if I can hold back my curious self in the future. Del Kyushu is more amazing than night. I want to see it.

As usual, I am here at the Del Kyushu Playground. This is our waiting place. We've planned to go to Fujikawa's ancestral mansion. When Haru mentioned about it, I realized that their Mansion was kind of popular in the Province. Hindi ko inakalang sa kanila pala iyon. Saka ko lang napagtantong Fujikawa nga pala si Haru. Kaya pala nandito siya lagi ay may tirahan din siya rito. I wonder why they're settling in El Sapporo right now, just like us.

I was planning to swing again for one more time when a pair of shoes stood in front of me. I stepped my sneakers on the grass and stopped the swing by holding the chains. I immediately lifted my eyes and saw the handsome face of Haru. As usual, he was smiling again at me.

"Good morning." Inunahan ko siya. Umangat ang gilid ng labi niya saka pwersang tinanggal ang mga kamay ko na nakakapit sa magkabilang kadena ng duyan.

Pagewang-gewang akong tumayo at muntikan nang mauntog sa dibdib niya. Good thing, he helped me stand steadily by holding my wrists.

I barely swallowed when I got embarrassed because of the close gap of our faces. He looks amused and I'm pretty sure I am as red as tomato right now.

"Good morning! You stole my favorite line!" he said, chuckling.

"Dumbass! You shouldn't have pulled me!" reklamo ko, mapagtakpan lang ang kakaibang nararamdaman. This is getting more bullshit everyday and I don't even know what to freaking do! Damn it.

"Let's go. Sorry if I was late again. I had to do something before going to sleep," he explained that made my eyes narrowed.

"Something like...?" I said with a hint of malice.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at bahagyang namula. Naka-awang ang kaniyang mga labi, mukhang maraming gustong sabihin pero hindi malaman kung saan uumpisahan. Eksahedera niya rin akong binitawan. I laughed at his reaction.

"Just kidding." He turned serious now.

"No. You're referring about something else," he said seriously that made me laugh more.

"No! I was just kidding around! Let's go-"

"You pervy!" he said, pointing his index finger at me. Natatawa akong napahawak sa dibdib ko, hindi makapaniwalang ganoon ang hinuha niya sa sinabi ko.

"What?! Ikaw! Napaka dumi ng isip mo!" sabi ko habang natatawa pa rin. Pabiro niya akong inirapan saka muling hinawakan sa kaliwang palapulsuhan.

"Let's go. I have a lot of things to show you. You love plants, right?" he proudly said and started to pull me towards the direction we'll take.
