Chapter 54

~Hueningkai's P.O.V~

Nandito ako ngayon sa Incheon. Buti nalang at may kakilala sina Minhee at Eunsang sa lugar na 'to, kaya dito na'ko nag-stay habang inaayos ko pa ang problema ko. Nakilala ko dito ang kaibigan nilang si Hyeongjun at sa bahay niya ako nakatira pansamantala.

"Ano ulit ang nangyari sa'yo?" -Hyeongjun

*Sigh*"Ninakaw ng kapatid ko ang pera ng tatay ko and she's blaming me so ipapakulong nila ako."

"Sorry, wala akong maitulong except sa pag-stay mo rito..." -Hyeongjun

"Ayos lang, makakagawa ako ng paraan."

"Sige, iwan muna kita." -Hyeongjun

*Nod*

Umalis na si Hyeongjun at naiwan ako rito mag-isa sa sala. Nag-iisip ako ng paraan kung paano ko mapapatunayan na si Lea noona nga ang nagnakaw ng pera ni appa. Ayaw naman akong tulungan ni Bahiyyih kaya mas mahirap 'to para sa'kin. No one's on my side. Lumipas ang ilang minuto at wala pa rin akong maisip, hanggang sa mag-call si eomma sa'kin.

*Ring*"Yeoboseyo."

"Kai, we'll give you a condition. We'll let go of the situation if... You successfully steal the money of the Han Corporation." -Eomma

"A-ano po?"

"You heard me son. Magaling ka sa mga computer and stuff right? Then you can help make the company rich if you'll steal their money." -Eomma

"E-eomma-"

"If you don't do this then we'll make sure you go to jail for what you've done." *hang up* -Eomma

"Eomma! Eomma hindi ako ang nagnakaw!! Ugh!!!"

I'm slowly becoming weak right now. Noon, I'm trying to be strong at akala ko, showing a cold expression is one way. Pero ngayon, umiiyak na'ko in which, I don't oftenly do it a lot. They say crying is weak. Is that true? Hindi ko na kaya ang mga problema ko. Alam kong mali ito but this is the only way. Fine! Kung gusto niyo ng pera then I'll give you money. I hate being a son of the Huening family.

~Taehyun's P.O.V~

My next period is english but I decided to skip class. Ewan ko, I don't feel like attending. Instead, pumunta ako sa music room to feel at ease. It's been months rin naman since I last visited. May nakita akong piano, naalala ko na tinuruan ako ni Kai kung paano ito patugtugin. May isang kanta akong pinapractice since last year. I love the song so much and it reminds me of Chaeryeong noona. Now that she's gone... again, I decided to play the song. The music made me have mix emotions. Parang pinaghalong happiness at kalungkutan. I closed my eyes sometimes trying to feel the lyrics of the song.

I've been playing hide and go seek
with a heart that longs to be
in the arms of another lover
and I've been running from my shadow
like a wayward arrow
as I try to find a way to you - 'cause you are...

I feel like I'm playing hide and seek with Chaeryeong noona. Kapag umalis na siya, para siyang nagtatago at heto ako, hinahanap-hanap siya. My heart longs in the arms of her and I try to find my way papunta sa kaniya. I want her presence.

Chorus:
Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you're gone
Cause you are my always

I'm the tide, you're my moon
You always pull me back to you
And I'll lay my arms gently over your shoulders
And when morning breaks
And your reflection fades
How I long the hide with you among the fading stars
Cause you are

Do I need to explain? Gusto ko lang namang makasama si noona. Even if she doesn't like me back, she's still like my best friend. I just want an old friend back, at kung nagtatago man siya ay gusto kong sumama sa kaniya.

Chorus:
Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you're gone
Cause you are my always

Always the one that stays by my side
Whenever I feel I must hide
You are always the one that makes my heart race
Faster than the speed of light
You are always the one that stays by my side
Whenever I feel I must hide
You are always the one that makes my heart race
Faster than the speed of light

Chorus:
Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you're gone
Cause you are my always

Si Chaeryeong noona ang palaging nasa isip at puso ko simula noon. Nag-aalala ako para sa kaniya nung hindi na siya bumalik. Hinahanap-hanap ko rin siya sa mga panaginip ko. Kahit na wala na siya beside me, I can still feel her presence.

Cause you are my always
Yes, you are my always

Ngayon ko lang napansin na I poured all my emotions out habang kinakanta ko ito. Kahit na mag-crack ang boses ko sa kakaiyak ay patuloy lang ako sa pagkanta.

'Chaeryeong noona, you're my always.'
