CHAPTER.04
ELEANOR

Ugh.

Trabaho ko na ata sa buhay ang mapahiya ang sarili. Ilang beses na ba ako napahiya simula kahapon? Hindi ko na mabilang! Hiyang hiya na'ko.

"What's wrong?" Nine curiously asked.

I'm out of my mind. Why did I even go out last night? Nakita ko tuloy yung Jihoon na 'yon. Ang annoying pa niya! Nakakainis talaga.

"Sis, ano na? Hindi mo na natuloy yung kwento mo! Kanina ka pa nanggigigil diyan. I still don't get what you're trying to say," pagkulit ni Nine.

Hindi ko pa din kasi talaga matanggal sa isip ko ang nangyari kagabi. Tuwing naglalayas naman ako hindi ko naman napapansin 'yong Jihoon na 'yon. Nagpakita pa talaga siya noong gabi na gusto ko na lang maglaho.

Nagbuntong hininga ako. "Nine, I'm so humiliated."

"What?"

Am I supposed to tell her this? Like how my mom has been making me feel miserable in my whole life, that I had a hard time falling asleep na kailangan kong maglayas sa bahay almost every night?

"Is it about what your mom did, yesterday?" tanong niya pa.

I let out a breath, "Don't even talk about that."

"Then what?" natataranta na siya.

I still find it hard to explain and iniisip ko muna kung paano ko sasabihin sa kanya, that's why I couldn't answer her, right away. How do I say this?

"Omg, nag one-night stand kayo nung Jihoon?" she gasped, hysterically.

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. "Gaga!" I hit her arm with my hand while she laughed.

She rolled her eyes. "Ano nga kasi yung nangyari with you and Captain ball?"

I sighed heavily, sitting straight on my seat. She turned her seat to face me as she listens to what I'm about to say.

"Last Night, I saw Jihoon!" irita kong paliwanag, Nine just nodded, looks like she's losing her patience.
