    jinri didn't know she'll reach a point that she can experience tiredness the way she's currently feeling. ramdam niya ang panghihina ng katawan niya habang hila hila ang maleta niya.

she tried kicking the tiredness away but the fatigue from lack of sleep is getting the best of her. despite having a long hour flight, she didn't get a chance to have a good amount of sleep, madami din siyang inasikaso bago siya umalis ng US.

akmang uupo na sana siya ng mahagip ng kanyang mga mata ang pamilyar na lalake na tumatakbo papunta sa direksyon niya. she ended up standing on her spot as she waited for the guy to reach her.

'so he actually came.' she thought as the guy stood in front of her, wide smile adorning his face.

".. hi love..." he greeted sweetly, deep sweet voice that jinri miss so deeply.

.. mark

"how's the flight?" he softly ask, loving gaze set on the girl infront of him as he endearingly tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

"... just fine." jinri mumble as she averted her eyes away from his gaze.

still, that sweet smile didn't leave mark's face, the same sweet smile that use to make her feel fine.

"dinner muna tayo..." aya ni mark habang nakatingin sa paligid, ng hindi sumagot si jinri ay napatingin siya dito.

jinri's face was painted with tiredness, droopy eyes staring emptily in space.

"o gusto mo ng umuwi?" he ask.

napatingin naman ang dalaga kay mark. she mentally sigh, masyado na siyang pagod para mag desisyon. "ikaw bahala."

and few minutes later, the two found themselves in a restaurant.

natahimik na nakaupo si jinri, mark was seated opposite her. her gaze set at the city lights below them.

mark being mark, dinala siya nito sa isang mamahaling restaurant. kahit na nakakahiya, hindi naman siya maka angal.

mark willingly fetch her from the airport and now treating her with dinner too.

bahagya siyang napabuntong hininga at napatingin ulit sa binata na nasa harapan niya.

'what am I gonna do with you?'

"how's US?" pagbasag katahimikan ni mark.

jinri just shrug at iniwasan ang tingin ng binata, "just fine, tiring but fun."

"was it enough?" nagtataka siyang binalingan ng tingin ng dalaga.

"what do you mean?"

"was it enough time for you to decide?" napabuntong hininga nalang si jinri sa narinig.

'ofcourse, he just have to.' mark just have to ask and remind her all over again. talagang hindi nito sinusukuan ang mga sinabi niya.

bahagya siyang napahilamos gamit ang mga kamay niya. she's too tired and talking about their relationship is not something she want right now.

it's not like she actually have time to think through it either while being at states. masyado siyang nabusy sa kaka-aral dun and thinking about mark while being miles away from him didn't do her good, so she decided to have peace while being away, pushing mark off her thoughts everytime he cross her mind.
