CHAPTER 18

CHAPTER 18:

I look at myself in the mirror as I fix my hair for one last second before going out of my apartment. Ilang minuto ko ring inayos yung sarili ko ngayong umaga dahil susunduin ko si Jimin sa bahay nila.

Alam ko naman kung anong oras papasok si Jimin dahil katext ko siya lagi. Even now.

From: My Jimin

Kakatapos ko lang maligo, feeling ko late na naman ako sa first subject hahaha.

Kakatapos lang niya maligo. I still can make it to their house in time. Buong byahe ko papunta kela Jimin, hindi ko mapigilan yung ngiti ko.

I feel free. I don't have to think about the guilt I feel everytime I feel something for Jimin anymore. I don't have to act like Yoongi, I can just be myself now.

Except for what he calls me and the fact that he doesn't even know Min Suga actually exists.

I was so excited to see Jimin, I actually got in their house earlier than I've expected. Inabangan ko si Jimin sa labas ng bahay nila at nung nakita na niya ako, pinapasok niya ako sa bahay nila.

Which is awkward because for them, I'm the person whom they spent their high school with. I am their friend. But I am not that person, si Yoongi 'yon at hindi ako. I want to get to know them, I really do. But I can't because they'll know I'm different, hindi ko na nga matandaan yung kwento ni Yoongi sakin about their high school memories eh.

"Get your bag now." Pag-utos ko kay Jimin at umakyat din naman siya agad para kunin yung bag niya sa kwarto.

And... it's officially the longest second I have ever experienced in my life.

"So, hinahatid sundo mo na siya ngayon?" Namjoon asks, his arms resting on Seokjin's shoulders.

I nod slowly, "Yup."

"Why?" Tanong ulit niya. I feel nervous all of a sudden, iniinterview ba ako ni Namjoon?

"Just because." Sagot ko naman. Hindi pa ako handang umamin kay Jimin na may gusto ako sa kaniya, let alone sa mga kaibigan pa niya.

"You hurted Jimin once, you hurted us before. I know Jimin welcomed you again with open arms, but not me. I am watching you, Yoongi." Sabi ni Namjoon bago ako ngitian.

"Oh, right." Napatingin ako kay Jungkook nung sinabi niya 'yon.

Shut up, Jungkook. Galit pa rin ako sayo.

"Who's Gabrielle?" Tanong sakin ni Jungkook na nagpalunok sakin dahil sa kaba.

At parang anghel na hulog ng langit, bumaba na si Jimin sa hagdan at nilapitan ako, "Tara na?"

"Sure." Agad kong sagot bago kami umalis sa bahay.

Phew. I thought I'll get caught for a second right there.

I started driving away from their house. Jungkook is onto me. If he starts digging, he can actually know everything and expose me immediately.

"Jimin." I called his name and threw the teddy bear I got from the claw machine.

"Ano 'to?" He asks, inspecting the teddy bear I gave him.

"That's the bear from that stupid claw machine, I played more than ten times just to get that." Sabi ko sa kaniya. Sasabihin ko rin sana na kinuha ko lang yung tokens sa bata na tinakot ko pero baka mabawasan yung pagkagusto niya sakin.
