to others, yujin seems to be very loud and has a happy-go-lucky character— but once you knew her personally, she's really not.

yujin is the type of person who cry herself to sleep. hindi niya rin madalas sabihin sa iba 'yung tunay na nararamdaman niya. kaya no'ng tuluyan siyang nagbreak-down kahapon, hindi niya mapigilang matawa ng mapait. inabala na naman niya 'yung mga kaibigan niya.

she and the gang has been friends for almost 3 years now. bago-bago pa lang, pero she trust them enough. she really do. si nako at chaeyeon talaga ang pinakamatagal na niyang kaibigan. the both of them knew almost everything about her— and they understand yujin more than anyone else did.

nako is yujin's support system. kung wala siya, siguro hindi niya na alam 'yung patutunguhan niya ngayon. gasgas na linya but that's how she describes her unnie. taga-sita, pinakikinggan at iniintindi siya at higit sa lahat ay pinapayuhan siya sa mga bagay na hindi siya sigurado.

mapang-asar at basher niya, this is how she knew chaeyeon. pero when it gets a little too serious, the goofy side is still there to lighten them up but at the same time, she's the one who's in charge of understanding them. minsan ay tahimik lang siya kapag seryoso na ang pinag-uusapan at kapag alam niyang things are getting out of hand, that's when she'll start to deal with the situation and do the talking.

yujin heaved a sigh. dapat pala ay hindi na lang niya dinamay ang mga kaibigan niya sa problema niya.

"yujin, bumaba ka na diyan at kakain na tayo!" rinig niyang sigaw ng nanay niya kaya agad niyang inayos ang sarili. "opo!"

pagkababa niya, niyakap niya agad ang nanay niya na mukhang hindi nito inaasahan. she badly need her mother's warmth right now.

"o-oh? anong nangyari sa'yo?" yujin just pecked her mother's cheeks and showed her a gummy smile after. "namiss lang kita, ma."

she even tugged her shirt before turning her back and was about to go to their kitchen. she stopped for a second when her mother spoke. "'nak. bakit namumugto 'yang mata mo?"

agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ni yujin at tumakbo papunta sa sink para maghilamos sana. but that action made her suspicious in her mother's eyes.

"may nangyari ba?" she just gulped and looked up due to frustration. after a few seconds, tumango na lang siya at umiwas ng tingin. "anak. . ."

"a-ayos lang, ma. kinausap na rin naman ako ng mga kaibigan ko kahapon kaya siguro ayos na ako—"

mrs. ahn pulled her for a hug and kissed her forehead for multiple times. yujin burried her face in her mother's chest, trying her best to not tear up.

"'yung nililigawan mo ba 'yan, 'nak?" mrs. ahn knew her daughter too well. "anong nangyari?"

yujin didn't answer, instead she just tighten the hug. ayaw niyang umiyak ngayon. ayaw niyang maging malungkot sa harap mismo ng nanay niya.

"kung hindi mo pa kayang sabihin, naiintindihan kita. pero tandaan mong andito lang ako, hmm?" tumango na lang si yujin as she felt her heart ache.

mrs. ahn had an apologetic look in her face before smiling at a certain person. that person only smiled at their direction bago muling tignan si yujin na nakayakap pa rin sa nanay niya.

"yujin." the said person only hummed in response. "'nak. may bisita ka pala."

kanina pa niya tinitingnan si yujin simula ng bumaba ito. aaminin niya, nasasaktan rin siya dahil sinasaktan na naman niya 'yung taong wala namang ibang ginawa kundi ang mahalin siya.

nandito na siya kanina pa. kitang-kita niya kung paano pigilan ni yujin 'yung pagluha niya. kung paano yakapin ni yujin 'yung nanay niya. kung paano masaktan si yujin ng paulit-ulit dahil sa kaniya. but yujin seems to not feel her presence until her mother said that someone is here.

yujin was the one to break the hug. pinunasan niya ang ilang butil ng luha na kumawala ng yakapin siya ni mrs. ahn kanina. sadness is written all over her face and it is really visible from where the visitor is. in a matter of second, her sad face vanished and it was replaced by shock.
