Nagbook na si Seunghoon ng plane ticket para sa kanya papuntang Switzerland. Alam niyang hindi pwedeng bigla biglang paalam kapag magvvacation but he still have high hopes na Mr. Yang will let him.
He went to their office to ask Paul's permission. The head manager.
"Since we are still on break, can I have a short vacation?" tanong ni Seunghoon kay Paul, manager din nila.
"Where?" Tanong nito.
"Switzerland for 7 days." Sagot ni Seunghoon. Bakas naman ang gulat sa mukha ni Paul.
"Well, you're allowed to travel anywhere. And I can ask Mr. Yang's permission for this." sagot ni Paul.
"Yes please?" Bago pa man sya magsabi sa manager nya ay nakabili na ito ng roundtrip ticket.
"And I heard Simon, those people who went to Switzerland doesn't have any return ticket yet? Can you tell the one who's buying the tickets that I already have one for Seungjin?" Seunghoon said.
"They will stay there for 5 days. So it means, Seungjin has to stay for two more days?" Tanong ni Paul.
Seunghoon nodded.
"You're being weird Seunghoon. But, I'll tell it to the one in charge." Napangiti si Seunghoon.
"I don't know what's happening. And I don't know why am I saying yes to your plan." Natatawang sabi ni Paul.
"I'll update you asap." At umalis na si Paul.
Hindi alam ni Seungjin na pupunta rin si Seunghoon sa Switzerland. Naisip ni Seunghoon na isa itong magandang idea para mas magkaroon sila ng time dalawa.
Ang plano nya ay magpakita on their 2nd day. He even booked the same hotel. Magkaiba lang ang floor.
Maya maya't nakareceive sya ng text kay Paul. Pumayag daw si Mr. Yang sa vacation nya at umokay din ang in charge na si Seungjin ang gagamit ng extra ticket kuno nya.
Nakahinga sya nang maluwag.
Well, gaya ng sabi ni Seungyoon, alam ni Seunghoon na iba ang pagtingin ni Mino sa girlfriend niya. Pero hanga pa rin ito kay Mino, dahil nanatili pa rin itong tahimik at nirerespeto nito ang relasyon nila.
Wala na rin naman kasing magagawa si Mino kung hindi manahimik, dahil mayroon naman siyang chance noon to pursue Seungjin but he didn't grab it.
Masyado siyang naging comfortable na hindi mawawala si Seungjin sa kanya.
Wala talagang mangyayari sa iyo kung maghihintay ka lang. Minsan kailangan mo talagang mageffort at magtake risk para manalo ka.
The same goes for life, hindi ka naman magtatagumpay kung hindi kay mageeffort at magttake ng risk.
"Ano pumayag na?" Jinwoo asked.
"Yes. I'm going to Switzerland na." Seunghoon answered. Jinwoo smiled.
"Huwag kayong mag-away ni Mino doon ha." He said.
"We wont. Alam kong alam ni Mino ang lugar niya." Seunghoon answered.
"I'm just reminding you. You both are grown ups, and don't make Seungjin uncomfortable." Jinwoo said.
"Bakit kasi kailangan isang babae pa ang gustuhin namin. Parang ang hirap tuloy maging masaya dahil alam mong may nasasaktan ka." Seunghoon said. Pareho sila ni Mino na ayaw masaktan ang isa't isa. Kapatid na ang turing nila sa isa't isa.
"We don't know. Pero kailangan niyong imanage nang maayos yan. I mean, someone has to give way." Yoon said.
"And technically Mino needs to do it. Since, Seunghoon and Seungjin are already in a relationship." Jinwoo said.
"I know Mino is doing everything to make things right. He knew what to do. And he'll not do anything para mag-away kayo." Yoon said.
"I know. I just can't help but to think bakit sa dinami dami nang babae, stucked siya kay Seungjin." Seunghoon said.
Nagaalala rin ang tatlo kay Mino.
"Life is so complicated. And we just have to deal with it." Jinwoo said.
Totoo naman.
Bumalik si Seunghoon sa kwarto niya. 39 hours ang flight pa Switzerland.
At alam niyang nasa himpapawid pa rin ang kanyang mahal. Excited siyang makita ang reaksyon nito sa pagdating niya.
He started packing his things dahil bukas na ang flight niya pa Switzerland. Bumili rin siya ng book entitled "Guide to Switzerland" para maplan niya kung saan sila magpupunta ni Seungjin.
First ever travel nila ito ni Seungjin at gusto ni Seunghoon na maging memorable ito para sa kanilang dalawa.
Nilista rin ni Seunghoon ang iba't ibang restaurant at cafe na kakainan nilang dalawa.
"Hyung, sama mo naman kami." Hindi na napansin ni Seunghoon ang pagpasok ni Yoon sa kwarto niya.
"Bumili ka ng ticket mo." Seunghoon said.
"Alam kong kailangan niyo ng photographer doon, willing akong sumama basta sagot mo lahat." Pamimilit ni Yoon.
"Okay lang ba sayo maging third wheel?" Seunghoon asked.
"Joke lang. Sawang sawa na ako sa panunuod ng landian niyo dito ni Seungjin." He said. Seunghoon laughed.
"Magdala ka ng camera hyung." Yoon suggested. "Mga film cam para pwede mo ipadevelop ung pictures when you get back." He added.
"I can take photo naman using my phone. And isang luggage lang ang dadalhin ko. Plus kung madadala ako ng camera, wala na akong paglalagyan ng mga pasalubong niyo. Depende nalang kung ayaw mo nang pasalubong." Seunghoon said.
"You don't need film cameras na pala hyung. Basta make sure na uwian mo ako ng Swiss ha?" Seunghoon smiled.
I'm ready for the 39-hour flight.
I'm excited to see my love again and enjoy Switzerland with her.
I sent a kakao message to Seungjin:
To: 마할 (ma•hal)
Let me know when you're there. See you soon my love! 🥰💙
See you in 3 days and 3 hours.

끝.
