THIRD PERSON

"Park, you're still not okay. You drank too much alcohol already." Pagpapatigil ni Lee sa kaibigang walang ibang ginawa kundi lumaklak ng alak habang masama ang tingin sa kawalan.

"Where is she?"

Sandaling bumuga ng hangin si Heeseung nang maalala ang dalaga na walang humpay na umiiyak kanina. "Dinala na siya ni Jake sa bodega kagaya ng sinabi mo."

"Good. Don't give her any food until I say so."

"What is she, an animal? She'll starve to death."

"So? She's the one who said that she'd rather be killed than suffer. Hindi ba dapat masaya siya? After all, I'm planning to kill her in the first place after our wedding. Now that I got what I want, she's no use to me."

"Park, I understand that she hitted some nerve to you. Pero dapat intindihin mo din ang hinanakit niya, kinulong mo siya dito sa loob ng isang buwan nang wala siyang ginawang iba kundi sundin ang mga gusto mo, hindi niya nasasabi ang totoong nararamdaman niya at malamang iniipon niya lang yon. She's still a human, napupuno din. Malamang hindi niya na napigilan ang sarili niya kanina, alam kong kahit ikaw alam na masama ang ugali mo."

Marahas siyang nilingon ni Jay saka sinamaan ng tingin. "The fck? Are you really my friend or what?"

Kinuha ni Heeseung ang shot glass sa kamay ni Jay na may lamang alak saka nilagok yun at umupo sa tabi niya. "Because I still have feelings and I understand her situation, unlike you... emotionless... feelingless... unhuman."

"Sobra ka naman." Si Jay saka sinipa ang paa ni Heesung.

"She's been away from her family and love ones for like a month now. She's been suffering of missing them and she can't go out here because you won't let her and she's afraid of being killed. Wala kang ibang pinakita sa kaniya kundi kasamaan ng ugali pero kahit ganon, wala pa din siyang ginawa para gantihan ka. Sinunod niya ang mga utos mo kahit ayaw niya, pinakasalan ka niya kahit labag sa gusto niya, pinagtanggol ka niya sa step mother mo kahit na masama ang loob niya sayo at inalagaan ka niya kahit na napipilitan lang siya. So I think, she has the right to say all those things to you. She already sacrificed and suffered a lot because of you yet, you didn't even thanked her or show your appreciation of what good things she've done to you either." Pinaglaruan niya ang baso alak sa kamay niya bago lingunin ang kaibigang nakatulala na naman sa kawalan.

"I think Lyann didn't deserve the treatment you are giving to her. Sa tingin ko din nasaktan siya sa sinabi mo kanina. She's a woman, bro, for pete's sake. Learn how to be a gentleman atleast." Dagdag na asar ni Heeseung. Sinamaan namna siya ng tingin ni Jay.

"I don't even know how to be gentle, gentleman my ass." Si Jay saka nagsalin ulit ng alak sa shot glass saka nilagok. "She's the first person who had the guts and courage to say all those things to me. She's nuts."

"You couldn't believe it, aren't you?"

"Honestly, yes."

"Me either. And I also feel proud dahil sa wakas, may nakapag-sabi na din sayong ang isip-bata mo at napaka-sama ng ugali mo." Mas sumama ang tingin ni Jay ngunit tinawanan lang ito ni Heeseung. "You know, I really can't believe that you didn't killed her that time. Nakakagulat na imbis na kuhanin mo ang baril sa ilalim ng unan mo tumayo ka pa at lumapit sa kaniya. I appreciate the effort you did ealier."
