narrations for my au

malia and wonwoo talk

malia was just sitting on her bed as she hugs her knees and trying to stop her tears from the talk a while ago. it's almost midnight as she just kept sobbing and inhaling on her inhaler as she almost can't breathe properly since then.

she then heard few knocks from her door but she didn't bother to answer, another knock still didn't even bother to look back then later on she heard her brother talk, "bunso? if you don't want to open your door, i have no choice but to get inside.." her brother says from the other side.

honestly, she doesn't mind at all if her brothers comes barging in the room, well except if she's doing private matters but she locks the door when she do— but not today since she felt her door softly opening and then closing, she hides her face in between her knees as she was trying to stop her falling tears.

she felt her brother's presence in front of her as wonwoo kneeled down and caressed her arm, "bunso, bihis ka kaya muna ano? then we can talk here, promise i won't get mad at you." malia looked up with bloodshot eyes as she saw her brother's face getting more worried.

wonwoo removed the inhaler on malia's hand and puts it on the bedside table, "sige na pasok ka na sa cr, i'll bring you your nightgown na lang, hmm?" malia slowly nodded. she stood up as wonwoo helped her standing up by holdng her arm and also removing her socks that she was wearing since a while ago.

after some minutes, thank god she didn't faint or something inside the bathroom as her brother also reached out her clothes in a small opening from the door. while getting dressed up she is still sobbing and finally, after that she saw herself in the mirror and then— breaking down again.

"can you be selfish for once, malia?" she pleads to herself while looking at herself in the mirror, "can you please be happy for yourself?"

she then wipes her tears and nodded to herself feeling defeated even though she shouldn't have. as she opened the door, she saw her brother on his phone laying down on the bed as his head was resting on the headboard, when he felt malia's presence, he removed his eyeglasses and placed both of his phone and glasses on the bedside table.

he pats the space beside him as he spreads his arms asking for a hug. malia smiled and went straight into her bed crawling beside wonwoo as she placed her arms on wonwoo's torso and rested her head on wonwoo's chest. wonwoo rests his cheek at the top of malia's head and hugs her from her shoulders.

they stayed like that for a minute until wonwoo spoke,

"you don't have to tell me everything that had happened kanina, but i won't lie when i saw both of you at the garden talking... and crying." he says, "soons was supposed to come but i stopped him and told him to let you both be."

still, malia stayed silent as the only thing that can be heard around the room was the aircon and... the aircon. she was still sniffling until she looked up at her brother who's eyes were closed.

"kuya?" wonwoo only hummed as she continued, "are you happy?" he opened his eyes and looks back at malia. he then went closer and placed a soft kiss on malia's forehead.

"i am really happy" he says not leaving his gaze on malia, "but now? i think not, kasi hindi happy ang bunsoy ko." he says as he then removed some strands that blocks malia's face and tucks it behind her ears.

"are you happy with kuya soons?" she suddenly asks, wonwoo gave her a small smile as he pursed his lips and looks up releasing a tired sigh.

"alam mo, knowing soons for 22 years? was the best thing ever though he may be handful at times lalo na nung kinasal kami? grabe dapat sobrang haba ng pasensya mo knowing he goes hulk a lot of fimes" he releases a fond laugh as he puts an exagerration with the word 'haba'. you just nodded and let him continue,

"in all honesty, second to you being born, no one made me happy compared to the days i am with my husband, kahit ilang years na kami never nawawala yung kilig araw araw. sometimes i thought if mali na yung pagiging sobrang saya eh," he looks down and see that malia is still awake listening intenly, "alam mo yun, whenever i am tired kahit magalit at away-awayin ako ni soons, i'd always say he is still my comfort and my home,"

"after a long tiring day, hindi ako magsisising umuwi sakanya lagi." he says as he pokes malia's nose, "and we are happy to have you in our life despite malayo ka sa amin minsan, that's the most important things that makes me happy everyday." he gave malia a soft smile.

with what he said, malia remembered her call with jeonghan years ago though, that call was taken so much years ago, she will never forget that because of how enthusiastic and cheerful jeonghan that time kahit na walang kasiguraduhan kung ano sila sa future. that call when jeonghan told malia that she will be happy

just like her kuya wons.

she was snapped out of her thoughs as wonwoo continued talking.

"you know, happiness isn't based lang naman of what you have achieved in life, minsan kasi ang happiness is based from a person who, well technically who makes you happy kahit magkanda-leche leche ang buhay mo basta masaya ka sa taong 'yon, 'yun ang happiness." malia rests her head again on wonwoo's chest as she started sniffling again.

"and ayun na oh, you finally achieved your dream masaya ka doon pero as your whole self, masaya ka ba talaga? kasi achieving something in life isn't equal to your happiness talaga as a person, it's different." wonwoo assures her,

malia tightened the hug on her brother as he kept kissing her temple, "i know you're still in love with jeonghan." you finally looked up as he suddenly kissed your eyebrows which made you both laugh.

you felt na biglang hinigpitan din ng kuya mo ang yakap niya sa'yo, "hay nakakamiss naman ang baby damulag ko" he coos which you softly slapped his chest, "kuya naman eh.." you mumbled.

"pansin ko rin naman na nagkakalabuan na sila, don't get me wrong ha, avery is a likeable person. super down to earth and ang humble niya, no wonder jeonghan fell for her." wonwoo suddenly said.

"feeling ko nga ako rason why they are like that, i shouldn't have agreed on putting my exhi—"

"'wag kang ganyan malia jeon. no ones at fault, and you can't blame someone else's feelings and besides wala naman kayong natatapakan na tao, diba?" he says, "malaki na kayo and i know you guys will solve this in a mature and smart way, also 'wag kayo masyado papadala sa emotions niyo." he finally closed his eyes and suddenly cradled you from side to side.

"nagmamahal ka lang naman and walang mali doon, at desisyon na ni jeonghan 'yon. if wala talaga, then fate isn't with you in this lifetime and in the end we need to accept talaga." he opens his right eye and peeks at you.

you were already sleeping soundly as wonwoo softly smiled and gave you a kiss on the forehead and on the nose, "sana mahanap mo na talaga ang happiness that you deserve, bunsoy." as he went back to close his eyes hugging each other and 'yun yung naabutan ni soonyoung as he fondly smiled at the both of you and took a picture of you and wonwoo in each other's arms.
