Chapter 40

~Yeji's P.O.V~

Vacant period namin ngayon kaya naisipan naming tatlo na bumili sa labas. Hyunjin suggested to visit our store para naman makatulong rin daw siya sa profit. Akala mo naman nalulugi na yung store. Pero parang may feeling ako na nalulugi na nga ito. Anyways, naglalakad na kami pappunta doon nang magpaalam si Soobin na bibili sila ni Lia ng ice cream bread sa isang shop malapit sa university. Since when did they become close?

"Sorry guys, may pupuntahan lang ako. Iwan ko muna kayo." -Soobin

"Sure bro!" *pat* -Hyunjin

*Nod*

Kaming dalawa nalang ni Hyunjin ngayon and before, I didn't really mind it. Pero after ng mga weird na kilos niya ngayon, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Imposible naman yun, he's my friend. Actually, he's like my brother.

"Kumusta ka naman?" -Hyunjin

"Sa lahat ng pwede mong itanong 'yan pa?"

"Palagi ka kasing nakapoker face. How will I know what you're feeling right now?" -Hyunjin

'He's right. I'm always a poker face.'

"Just fine."

"Yun lang?" -Hyunjin

"What else?"

"Hmm... Ah Yeji, random question, may nagugustuhan ka na ba?" -Hyunjin

"Yes, since I was a kid. Ikaw?"

"Meron din, but I'm afraid she doesn't feel the same way." -Hyunjin

'I hope that's not me.'

Nakarating na kami sa store at una kong nakita si Kai. What's he doing here? Isn't he supposed to go to school instead of working?? Napakabata pa niya para magtrabaho. Even though he's in the legal age, hindi naman siya nagtapos ng high school.

"Hi Kai."

"Hi noona." -Hueningkai

'Yan lang ang sinasabi namin kapag magkikita kami sa labas bukod sa bahay ni halmeoni. Parang kami nun ni Soobin nung di ko siya kinakausap. Kaming tatlo palagi ang tipid magsalita sa isa't isa and we're used to it. Pero ngayon atleast naging ka-close ko na si Soobin when we got to college.

"Hello! I'm Hyunjin!" -Hyunjin

"Magkamukha kayo. Is he your twin noona?" -Hueningkai

"Nope."

*Nod* -Hueningkai

"Ang tipid niyo namang magsalita. Tara pasok na tayo Yeji." -Hyunjin

Masanay ka na Hyunjin cuz we're just the same. Except that I'm a poker face while he's a cold person. When did I ever started a conversation with that kid? Actually, if it's a long conversation, the answer is never. Pagpasok namin sa store ay nakita namin si Yeonjun oppa na nagcacalculate ng mga naipong pera. Napansin ko rin na konti nalang ang mga customers na bumibili dito compare to when I last visited. What happened to the store?

"Hi oppa."

"Oh Yeji! Kumusta- Hyunjin..." -Yeonjun

Yeonjun oppa was staring at Hyunjin differently. Anong meron? When I looked at Hyunjin, he's also doing the same thing. Ngayon lang sila nagkita pero magkaaway na? What's wrong with them??

"You must be Yeonjun hyung." -Hyunjin

"Oo, ako nga yun." -Yeonjun

"Don't worry, bibili lang kami ni Yeji." -Hyunjin

After niyang sabihin yun, he grabbed my wrist at pumunta sa pinakaside ng store. Seriously, ang weird nilang dalawa. Tinitingnan ko rin si Yeonjun oppa and he's sometimes glancing at our direction. Does Hyunjin look like a thief?

"Yeonjun hyung, pabalik na si Changbin hyung." -Hueningkai

*Mumble*"Changbin hyung?" -Hyunjin

"Kilala mo siya?"

"I think so..." -Hyunjin

After naming kumuha ng mga bibilhin ay binayaran na namin 'to sa counter. Hyunjin and Yeonjun would give looks at each other and I'm just here at the side watching them. Bigla-bigla, nilagay ni Hyunjin ang kamay niya sa shoulder ko and pulled me closer to him. Ginawa niya 'to while we were still waiting for Yeonjun oppa. Anong ginagawa niya?

"Thank you sa pagtulong Kai." -Changbin

"Changbin hyung??" -Hyunjin

"H-Hyunjin?" -Changbin

Mukhang magkakilala ang dalawa. Me, Yeonjun oppa and Kai are just looking at them in a confused way. Nag-iwasan sila ng tingin as Yeonjun oppa finally gave us the paper bag with the things we bought. Paalis na sana kami nang pigilan kami ni Changbin oppa.

"Hyunjin-" -Changbin

"Wala ng pag-asa hyung. You're just new and wala kang alam. So pls, let me go." -Hyunjin

*Sigh* -Changbin

Changbin oppa removed his hands na nakaharang sa dinadaanan namin. What're they saying? Anong wala ng pag-asa?? Ang dami naman yatang secrets na hindi ko maintindihan. Bago pa'ko nagsimulang maglakad ay kinuha ni Hyunjin ang kamay ko. I looked back inside the store and the last thing I saw there was Yeonjun oppa with a jealous face. Wait, is he finally liking me back?
